Brightest and best of the stars of the morning

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: EH1982 #118 (1985) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1. Brightest and best of the stars of the morning, dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid; star of the east, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2. Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining, low lies his head with the beasts of the stall; angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Savior of all. 3. Shall we then yield him, in costly devotion, odors of Edom, and offerings divine, gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? 4. Vainly we offer each ample oblation, vainly with gifts would his favor secure, richer by far is the heart’s adoration, dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5. Brightest and best of the stars of the morning, dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; star of the east, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

Hope of the world, thou Christ of great compassion

Thou dost forever reign! Topics: Jesus Christ our Lord Languages: English Tune Title: DONNE SECOURS

Away in a manger, no crib for his bed

Hymnal: EH1982 #101 (1985) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1. Away in a manger, no crib for his bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. 2. The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes. I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky, and stay by my side until morning is nigh. 3. Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay close by me forever, and love me I pray. Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, and fit us for heaven to live with thee there. Languages: English Tune Title: CRADLE SONG
