Without his high behest, p Ye shall not, in the mountain pine, Disturb the sparrow's nest. 4 His voice sublime is heard afar, In distant peals it dies ; u He yokes the whirlwinds to his car, And sweeps the howling skies. 5 Ye nations, bend-in reverence bend; Ye monarchs, wait his nod, s And bid the choral song ascend To celebrate our God. p 1 H.

HYMN 245. P. M. Mercy. [*] Epiphany. BRIGHTEST and best of the sons 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. p 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, g Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all. b 3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion, Odours of Edom, and offerings divine, Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrth from the forest, and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gold would his favour secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 8 5 Brightest and best of the sons 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.
