O Jesus, King of Glory
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Martin Behm, 1557-1622 Hymnal: LW1982 #79 (1982) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, King of glory,
Both David's Lord and son!
Your realm endures forever,
In heaven is your throne.
Help that in earth's dominions,
From pole to farthest pole,
Your reign may spread salvation
To each benighted soul.
2 The eastern sages, kneeling,
Their richest tributes bring,
Where witnessing your glory,
They worship you, their King.
To you the star is pointing,
The sure prophetic Word;
So joyously we hail you:
Our Savior and our Lord!
3 You are a mighty monarch,
As by your Word is told,
Yet you care very little
For earthly goods or gold;
You come not proudly riding,
You seek no great renown,
You dwell in no high castle,
You wear no jeweled crown.
4 Yet you are decked with beauty,
With rays of glorious light;
Your works proclaim your goodness,
And all your ways are right.
O Lord, protect your people
With your almighty arm
That they may dwell in safety
From those who mean them harm.
5 Oh, look on me with pity
Though I am weak and poor;
Admit me to your kingdom
To dwell there, blest and sure.
I pray, Lord, guide and keep me
Safe from my bitter foes,
From sin and death and Satan;
Free me from all my woes.
6 Then let your Word within me
Shine as the fairest star,
Your reign of love revealing
How wonderful you are.
Help me confess you truly
And with your Christendom
Here own you King and Savior
With all the world to come. Topics: Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: VALET WILL ICH DIR GEBEN
O Jesus, King of Glory
Within the Father's House
Author: James R. Woodford, 1820-85 Hymnal: LW1982 #80 (1982) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Within the Father's house
The Son has found his home,
And to his temple suddenly
The Lord of life has come.
2 The doctors of the Law
Gaze on the wondrous child
And marvel at his gracious words
Of wisdom undefiled.
3 Yet not to them is giv'n
The mighty truth to know,
To lift the earthly veil which hides
Incarnate God below.
4 The secret of the Lord
Escapes each human eye,
And faithful pond'ring hearts await
The full epiphany.
5 Lord, enter now our souls
And teach us by your grace
Each dim revealing of yourself
With loving awe to trace
6 Till we behold your face
And know as we are known
You, Father, Son, and Holy ghost,
Coequal Three in One.

Within the Father's House
When Christ's Appearing Was Made Known
Author: Coelius Sedulius, 5th cent. Hymnal: LW1982 #81 (1982) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When Christ’s appearing was made known,
King Herod trembled for his throne;
But he who offers heav'nly birth
Seeks not the kingdoms of this earth.
2 The eastern sages saw from far
And followed on his guiding star;
By light their way to light they trod,
And by their gifts confessed their God.
3 Within the Jordan’s sacred flood
The heav'nly Lamb in meekness stood
That he, of whom no sin was known,
Might cleanse his people from their own.
4 And oh, what a miracle divine,
When water reddened into wine!
He spoke the word, and forth it flowed
In streams that nature ne’er bestowed.
5 For this his glad epiphany
All glory unto Jesus be,
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost forevermore. Topics: Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: PUER NOBIS

Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: LW1982 #82 (1982) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's anointed,
Great David's greater son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free,
To take away transgression
And rule in equity.
2 He comes with rescue speedy
To those who suffer wrong,
To help the poor and needy
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing,
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Were precious in his sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth;
And love, joy, hope, like flowers,
Spring in his path to birth.
Before him on the mountains
Shall peace, the herald, go;
And righteousness in fountains
From hill to valley flow.
4 Kings shall fall down before him
And gold and incense bring;
All nations shall adore him,
His praise all people sing.
To him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend:
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed
O God of God, O Light of Light
Author: John Julian, 1839-1913 Hymnal: LW1982 #83 (1982) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1 O God of God, O Light of light,
O Prince of Peace and King of kings:
To you in heaven's glory bright
The song of praise forever rings.
To him who shares the Father's throne,
The Lamb once slain but raised again,
Be all the glory he has won,
All thanks and praise! Amen, amen.
2 For deep in prophets' sacred page,
And grand in poets' winged word,
Slowly in type, from age to age
The nations saw their coming Lord;
Till through the deep Judean night
Rang out the song, "Good-will to men!"
Sung once by first-born sons of light,
It echoes now, "Good-will!" Amen.
3 That life of truth, those deeds of love,
That death so steeped in hate and scorn--
These all are past, and now above
He reigns, our king first crowned with thorn.
Lift up your heads, O mighty gates!
So sang that host beyond our ken.
Lift up your heads, your king awaits.
We lift them up, Amen, amen.
4 Then raise to Christ a mighty song,
And shout his name, his glories tell!
Sing, heav'nly host, your praise prolong,
And all on earth, your anthem swell!
All hail, O Lamb for sinners slain!
Forever let the song ascend!
All hail, O Lamb enthroned to reign!
All hail, all hail! Amen, amen. Topics: Adoration; Epiphany; Praise and Adoration; Redeemer Languages: English Tune Title: O GROSSER GOTT

Hail, O Source of Every Blessing
Author: Basil Woodd, 1760-1831 Hymnal: LW1982 #84 (1982) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Hail, O Source of ev'ry blessing Lyrics: 1 Hail, O Source of ev'ry blessing,
Father of all humankind!
Gentiles now, your grace possessing,
In your courts admission find.
Grateful now we fall before you,
In your Church obtain a place,
See your glory and adore you;
Praise your truth and laud your grace.
2 Once far off but now invited,
We approach your sacred throne;
In your covenant united,
Reconciled, redeemed, made one.
Now revealed to eastern sages,
See the Star of Mercy shine;
Myst'ry hid in former ages,
Myst'ry great of love divine.
3 Hail, O all-inviting Savior!
Gentiles now their off'rings bring;
In your temples seek your favor,
Jesus Christ, our Lord and King.
May we, body, soul, and spirit,
Live devoted to your praise,
Glorious realms of bliss inherit,
Grateful anthems ever raise! Topics: Epiphany; Witness Languages: English Tune Title: O DURCHBRECHER

Arise and Shine in Splendor

Arise and Shine in Splendor
Brightest and Best of the Stars of the Morning
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: LW1982 #86 (1982) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid.
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Cold on his cradle the dew-drops 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 not yield him, in costly devotion,
Fragrance of Edom and off'rings 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 your aid.
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Topics: Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING STAR

Oh, Wondrous Type! Oh, Vision Fair
Author: John M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: LW1982 #87 (1982) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Oh, wondrous type! Oh, vision fair
Of glory that the Church may share,
Which Christ upon the mountain shows,
Where brighter than the sun he glows!
2 With Moses and Elijah nigh
The incarnate Lord holds converse high;
And from the cloud the Holy One
Bears record to the only Son.
3 With shining face and bright array
Christ deigns to manifest today
What glory shall be theirs above
Who joy in God with perfect love.
4 And faithful hearts are raised on high
By this great vision's mystery,
For which in joyful strains we raise
The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.
5 O Father, with th'eternal Son
And Holy Spirit ever one,
We pray you, bring us by your grace
To see your glory face to face.

Songs of Thankfulness and Praise
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-85 Hymnal: LW1982 #88 (1982) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesus, Lord, to thee we raise;
Manifested by the star
To the sages from afar,
Branch of royal David's stem
In thy birth at Bethlehem:
Anthems be to thee addressed,
God in flesh made manifest.
2 Manifest at Jordan's stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme;
And at Cana wedding guest
In thy Godhead manifest;
Manifest in pow'r divine,
Changing water into wine;
Anthems be to thee addressed,
God in flesh made manifest.
3 Manifest in making whole
Palsied limbs and fainting soul;
Manifest in valiant fight,
Quelling all the devil's might;
Manifest in gracious will,
Ever bringing good from ill;
Anthems be to thee addressed,
God in flesh made manifest.
4 Grant us grace to see thee, Lord,
Present in thy holy Word;
Grace to imitate thee now
And be pure, as pure art thou;
That we might become like thee
At thy great epiphany
And may praise thee, ever blest,
God in flesh made manifest. Topics: Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR
