Author: Onderdonk Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 427 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22:17 Lyrics: 1 The Spirit, in our hearts,

Brightest and Best of the Stars
Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 912 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22:16 First Line: Brightest and best of the stars of the morning Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
dawn on our darkness and come to our aid;
star of the east, the horizon adorning,
guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 What shall we give him, in costly devotion?
Shall we bring incense and offerings divine,
gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
myrrh from the forest or gold from the mine?
3 Vainly we offer each lavish 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.
4 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning,
dawn on our darkness and come to our aid;
star of the east, the horizon adorning,
guide where our infant Redeemer is laid!

Jesus, lover of my soul
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,223 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22:17 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide,
oh, receive my soul at last!
2 Other refuge have I none,
hangs my helpless soul on thee;
leave, ah! leave me not alone,
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed,
all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenceless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
more than all in thee I find!
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
false and full of sin I am,
thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound,
make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee;
spring thou up within my heart,
rise to all eternity. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Penitence; God in grace and mercy Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

Now shall meet him in the air!

High on thine exalted throne!

Claim the kingdoms for thine own!

the Lily of the Valley, in him alone I see
all I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow he’s my comfort, in trouble he’s my stay.
he tells me every care on him to roll.

in temptation he’s my strong and mighty tower;
I have all for him forsaken, and all my idols torn
from my heart, and now he keeps me by his power.
Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempts me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the bright and Morning Star,
he’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
3 He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,
while I live by faith and do his blessed will;
a wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear,
with his manna he my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory, to see his blessed face,
where rivers of delight shall ever roll.
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the bright and Morning Star,
he’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. Topics: The Grace of Jesus Christ In Praise of Christ Used With Tune: SALVATIONIST

O Holy City, Seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22 Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John,
Where Christ, the Lamb, does reign,
Within whose foursquare walls shall come
No night, nor need, nor pain,
And where the tears are wiped from eyes
That shall not weep again.
2 O shame to us who rest content
While lust and greed for gain
In street and shop and tenement
Wring gold from human pain,
And bitter lips in blind despair
Cry “Christ has died in vain!”
3 Give us, O God, the strength to build
The city that hath stood
Too long a dream, whose laws are love,
Whose ways are servanthood,
And where the sun that shines becomes
God’s grace for human good.
4 Already in the mind of God
That city rises fair.
Lo, how its splendor challenges
The souls that greatly dare,
And bids us seize the whole of life
And build its glory there.

The Saviour's Throne of shining Bliss,
O tell how mean your Glories are,
How faint, and few, compar'd with his.
2 We sing the bright and Morning-Star,
(JESUS, the Spring or Light and Love;)
See how its Rays, diffus'd from far,
Conduct us to the Realms above.
3 Its cheering Beams, spread wide abroad,
Point out the puzzled Christian's Way;
Still as he goes, he finds the Road
Enlighten'd with a constant Day.
4 [Then when the Eastern Magi brought
Their Royal Gifts, a Star appears,
Directs them to the Babe they sought,
And guides their Steps, and calms their Fears.]
5 When shall we reach the heavenly Place,
Where this bright Star will brightest shine;
Leave, far behind, these Scenes of Night,
And view a Lustre so Divine!

How Bright Appears the Morning Star
Author: William Mercer; Philipp Nicolai Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.4.8.4.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22:16 Lyrics: 1 How bright appears the Morning Star,
with mercy beaming from afar;
the host of heaven rejoices.
O Righteous Branch, O Jesse's Rod,
the Son of Man and Son of God!
we too will lift our voices:
Jesus, Jesus, holy, holy, yet most lowly,
come, draw near us; great Immanuel, come and hear us.
2 Though circled by the hosts on high,
he deigned to cast a pitying eye
upon his helpless creature.
The whole creation's head and Lord,
by highest seraphim adored,
assumed our very nature;
Jesus, grant us, through your merit, to inherit
your salvation. Hear, O hear our supplication.
3 Rejoice, O heavens, and earth, reply;
with praise, O sinners, fill the sky
for this, his incarnation.
Incarnate God, put forth your power,
ride on, ride on, great Conqueror,
till all know your salvation.
Amen, amen! Alleluia, alleluia!
Praise be given evermore by earth and heaven.

to me giveth life forever;
nothing me from him can sever.
