| Hymn A & M 604- Daystar on high, bright harbinger of gladness |
1. Daystar on high, bright
harbinger of gladness,
piercing the clouds of ignorance and
error,
thou hast dispersed our night of sin
and sadness;
death has no terror.
Darkness is past, joy cometh in the
morning;
hope springs anew for sinners
without number:
Sleepers, awake! a brighter day is
dawning;
shake off your slumber.
Alleluia!
2. Prophets of old spake darkly of
this wonder,
psalmist and saints have handed
on the story;
now he is risen, bursting bonds
asunder,
risen to glory.
Earth's tyrants quail; the mighty
make obeisance:
he hath preferred the innocent and
lowly:
mercy and truth shine round about
his presence:
his name is holy.
Alleluia!
3. Victor he comes in majesty, revealing
promise of life and liberty to mortals;
heaven and earth, with hymns of
triumph pealing,
throw wide their portals.
Praise him, ye nations, hearts and
voices blending:
raise high your song; the
Conqueror advances:
praise him with cymbals, lute and
harp attending,
praise him with dances.
Alleluia!
4. Hail him the Monarch, Ruler of
creation;
prince and powers, bow your heads
before him,
this is the Lord, the God of our
salvation;
let us adore him.
Lord God of hosts, great Deity
supernal,
be thou our strength, by thee our
steps be guided,
Father and Son and Spirit co-eternal,
One undivided.
Alleluia!
