Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light
Hymn Number 223

1.	Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light, 
	and usher in the morning; 
	O shepherds, shrink not with affright, 
	but hear the angel's warning. 
	This child, now weak in infancy, 
	our confidence and joy shall be, 
	the power of Satan breaking, 
	our peace eternal making.
