The Epiphany Proclamation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear brothers and sisters,
\nthe glory of the Lord has shone upon us,
\nand shall ever be manifest among us,
\nuntil the day of his return.<\/p>\n

Through the rhythms of times and seasons
\nlet us celebrate the mysteries of salvation.<\/p>\n

Let us recall the year’s culmination,
\nthe Easter Triduum of the Lord:
\nhis last supper, his crucifixion, his burial,
\nand his rising celebrated
\nbetween the evening of the Twenty-ninth of March
\nand the evening of the Thirty-first of March,
\nEaster Sunday being on the First day of April.<\/p>\n

Each Easter — as on each Sunday —
\nthe Holy Church makes present the great and saving deed
\nby which Christ has for ever conquered sin and death.
\nFrom Easter are reckoned all the days we keep holy.<\/p>\n

Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent,
\nwill occur on the Fourteenth Day of February.<\/p>\n

The Ascension of the Lord will be commemorated on
\nSunday, the Thirteenth of May or Thursday, the Tenth day of May.<\/p>\n

Pentecost, joyful conclusion of the season of Easter,
\nwill be celebrated on the Twentieth day of May.<\/p>\n

And, this year the First Sunday of Advent will be
\non the Second day of December, 2018.<\/p>\n

Likewise the pilgrim Church proclaims the passover of Christ
\nin the feasts of the holy Mother of God,
\nin the feasts of the Apostles and Saints,
\nand in the commemoration of the faithful departed.<\/p>\n

To Jesus Christ, who was, who is, and who is to come,
\nLord of time and history,
\nbe endless praise, for ever and ever.<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n

As with gladness men of old<\/strong><\/em> is a prayer for God’s presence in our lives as we draw closer to Him. The Magi showed faith in God and eagerness, as well as sacrifice, in their journey to see the Christ-child. So may we live as though we really believe and eagerly look forward to the day when we shall one day see Him. In the third stanza, the gifts of the Magi are not even named. The Magi took the trouble to bring \u201cgifts most rare\u201d on a long journey. So may we \u201cAll our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King.\u201d This pilgrimage is not easy, so we sing, \u201cHoly Jesus, every day keep us in the narrow way,\u201d remembering that Jesus said, \u201cFor the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few\u201d (Matthew 7:14, ESV).<\/p>\n

1 As with gladness men of old
\ndid the guiding star behold;
\nas with joy they hailed its light,
\nleading onward, beaming bright;
\nso, most gracious God, may we
\nevermore be led to Thee.<\/p>\n

2 As with joyful steps they sped
\nto that lowly cradle-bed,
\nthere to bend the knee before
\nHim whom heav’n and earth adore;
\nso may we with willing feet
\never seek Thy mercy-seat.<\/p>\n

3 As they offered gifts most rare
\nat that cradle rude and bare;
\nso may we with holy joy,
\npure, and free from sin\u2019s alloy,
\nall our costliest treasures bring,
\nChrist, to Thee, our heav’nly King.<\/p>\n

4 Holy Jesus, ev’ry day
\nkeep us in the narrow way;
\nand, when earthly things are past,
\nbring our ransomed lives at last
\nwhere they need no star to guide,
\nwhere no clouds Thy glory hide.<\/p>\n

5 In that heav’nly country bright
\nneed they no created light;
\nThou its Light, its Joy, its Crown,
\nThou its Sun which goes not down;
\nthere for ever may we sing
\nalleluias to our King.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

William Chatterton Dix<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

William Chatterton Dix (1837 \u2013 1898) was an English writer of hymns and carols. He was born in Bristol, the son of John Dix, a local surgeon, who wrote The Life of Chatterton<\/em> the poet, whence the son’s middle name.\u00a0William was educated at the Grammar School, Bristol, for a mercantile career, and became manager of a maritime insurance company in Glasgow where he spent most of his life.<\/p>\n

In 1859 he was struck with a severe illness\u00a0 and was unable to attend Epiphany services; instead he wrote As with Gladness Men of Old<\/em>. In addition to As with Gladness Men of Ol<\/em>d, his hymns What Child Is This?<\/em> and Alleluia! Sing to Jesus<\/em> appear in the 1940 Hymnal.<\/em><\/p>\n

This hymn is always sung to the tune DIX. Conrad Kocher, a German composer and church musician, originally wrote a longer version of this tune for a German chorale, \u201cTreuer Heiland, wir sind hier,\u201d which was published in 1838. William H. Monk omitted one phrase and altered a few notes of Kocher’s tune to fit \u201cAs With Gladness\u201d for the 1861 edition of Hymns Ancient and Modern<\/em>, for which he was music editor. Even though Dix did not like the choice of this tune, it goes so well with the text that it now bears his name.\u00a0DIX is a simple bar form tune (AAB) with a wavelike contour in each of its three lines.<\/p>\n

What star is this<\/strong><\/em> is a translation by John Chandler of Quae stellae sole pulchrior\/corruscat?<\/em> by Charles Coffin.<\/p>\n

What star is this, with beams so bright,
\nMore beauteous than the noonday light?
\nIt shines to herald forth the King,
\nAnd Gentile to His crib to bring.<\/p>\n

True spake the prophet from a-far
\nWho told the rise of Jacob’s star:
\nAnd eastern sages with amaze
\nUpon the wondrous token gaze.<\/p>\n

The guiding star above is bright:
\nWithin them shines a clearer light,
\nAnd leads them on with power benign
\nTo seek the Giver of the sign.<\/p>\n

Their love can brook no dull delay;
\nThough toil nor danger block the way
\nHome, kindred, father land and all
\nThey leave at their Creator\u2019s call.<\/p>\n

O Jesus, while the star of grace
\nImpels us on to seek thy face,
\nLet not our slothful hearts refuse
\nThe guidance of thy light to use.<\/p>\n

To God the Father, heav’nly Light,
\nTo Christ, revealed in earthly night,
\nTo God the Holy Ghost we raise
\nOur equal and unceasing praise.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is the chant of Quae stella sole pulchrior<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All Saints, Witley, Surrey<\/em><\/p>\n

John Chandler (1806 \u2013 1876) was the son of the vicar of Witley. John was educated at Corpus Christi College, Oxford (BA 1827, MA 1830). He took Holy Orders, becoming a Fellow of his College and curate of Witley. He became vicar of Witley in 1839, remaining there until his death. He is chiefly known for\u00a0The Hymns of the Primitive Churc<\/em>h, published in 1837 (a later edition, with additional hymns, appeared as\u00a0The Hymns of the Church, mostly Primitive<\/em>, in 1841).<\/p>\n

In the Preface to\u00a0The Hymns of the Primitive Church<\/em>,\u00a0 Chandler wrote:<\/p>\n

It has long struck me, indeed, that as our Liturgy is compiled, in a great measure, from ancient materials, so, if there were any ancient hymns still extant, of the same date and character with the prayers, they would be most suitable for our purpose; for they would, from their antiquity, carry more weight with them than any modern ones could do\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He disapproved of \u2018those rhyming jingling hymns which are found in the Popish missals, as barbarous in their Latinity, as defective in their doctrine\u2019. He then described how he had found the deliberately unmetrical translations (by Isaac Williams*) in the British Magazine of hymns from the Paris Breviary of 1736, got hold of a copy, and proceeded to translate some of them again in a manner suited to congregational singing. In his orotund way, Chandler addressed himself with heavy playfulness to the Church of England:<\/p>\n

It will not, I trust, be unpleasing or unedifying to her members to see a Morning hymn by a Bishop of Milan of the fourth century [Ambrose] joined to one on the same subject by a Bishop of Salisbury of the seventeenth. Perhaps, if the authorities of our Church carry on the design, we may see next to them a hymn by a Bishop of Calcutta of the nineteenth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Charles Coffin<\/em><\/p>\n

Charles Coffin (1676 \u2013 1749 ) was a French teacher, writer and Jansenist who was Rector of the University of Paris. Among his writings are a number of hymns which have been translated into English.\u00a0In 1701, he was appointed chief assistant to Charles Rollin, principal of the Coll\u00e8ge de Beauvais. He succeeded Rollin as principal in 1712.\u00a0 In 1718. he became rector of the University of Paris, a post which he held until his death.<\/p>\n

Coffin published in 1727 some of his Latin poems, for which he was already noted, and in 1736 the bulk of his hymns appeared in the\u00a0Paris Breviary<\/em>\u00a0of that year, an edition of which was published in 1838 at Oxford by John Henry Newman. 1736 also saw the publication of Coffin\u2019s\u00a0Hymni Sacri Auctore Carolo Coffin.<\/em><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Hymni Sacri<\/em>\u00a0included a poem adapted from the original chant,\u00a0Jordanis oras pr\u00e6via<\/em>, which Rev. John Chandler later translated to the hymn\u00a0On Jordan\u2019s Bank the Baptist\u2019s Cry<\/em>\u00a0set to the tune Winchester New for use at Matins during Advent. Chandler also translated Coffin\u2019s\u00a0The Advent of Our King<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Among his other works is an ode in praise of the wines of Champagne. This work is a version of a similar poem in which B\u00e9nigne Grenan, professor at Harcourt College, praised the pre-eminence of Burgundy wine, and that one of Charles Coffin\u2019s Jansenist friends, Marc-Antoine Hersan, had had fun reciting one evening at a dinner.<\/p>\n

While the papal bull\u00a0Unigenitus<\/em>\u00a0condemned Jansenism, many in France interpreted it as an attack on the perogatives of the French church. The University of Paris and the provincial Parlements were hotbeds of opposition. The University was known to harbor Jansenist sympathizers; the Parlement of Paris went so far as to threatened to confiscate the temporalities of the Archbishop. As rector of the University and clerk to the Parlement of Paris, even Coffin\u2019s hymns were viewed by some with suspicion.<\/p>\n

Coffin died of pneumonia in Paris 20 June 1749. Due to his persistence in appealing against the apostolic constitution Unigenitus, under instructions from the Archbishop, who wished to make an example, the parish rector of Saint-\u00c9tienne-du-Mont, refused to administer last rites to him, or give him a Christian burial ] Four thousand Parisians joined the funeral procession. Because the crown had supported the suppression of the Jansenists, Danton notes that the religious rite took on political overtones. The Parlement of Paris subsequently issued an official and strong \u201cremonstrance\u201d to the king. Richard J. Janet sees the resulting popular demonstrations as contributing to the growing disenchantment with the monarchy that would later play into the coming Revolution.<\/p>\n

Praetorius also harmonized this tune,\u00a0puer nobis nascitur<\/em>. It probably predates him and may have folk origins.<\/p>\n

Songs of thankfulness and praise<\/strong><\/em> was written by Christopher Wordsworth, who described it as \u201crecapitulation of the successive manifestations of Christ…and anticipation of that future great and glorious Epiphany, at which Christ will be manifest to all, when He will appear again to judge the world.\u201d Note that the stanza “Sun and moon shall darkened be” omitted in the 1940 Hymnal. In many of the hymns of Advent and Christmas, references to the Second Coming, with its wonders and terrors, are usually toned down or omitted.<\/p>\n

Songs of thankfulness and praise,
\nJesus, Lord, to thee we raise,
\nManifested by the star
\nTo the sages from afar;
\nBranch of royal David’s stem
\nIn thy birth at Bethlehem;
\nAnthems be to thee addressed,
\nGod in Man made manifest.<\/p>\n

Manifest at Jordan’s stream,
\nProphet, Priest, and King supreme;
\nAnd at Cana, wedding-guest,
\nIn thy Godhead manifest;
\nManifest in power divine,
\nChanging water into wine;
\nAnthems be to thee addressed,
\nGod in Man made manifest.<\/p>\n

Manifest in making whole
\nPalsied limbs and fainting soul;
\nManifest in valiant fight,
\nQuelling all the devil’s might;
\nManifest in gracious will,
\nEver bringing good from ill;
\nAnthems be to thee addressed,
\nGod in Man made manifest.<\/p>\n

Sun and moon shall darkened be,
\nStars shall fall, the heavens shall flee,
\nChrist will then like lightning shine,
\nAll will see his glorious sign:
\nAll will then the trumpet hear;
\nAll will see the Judge appear;
\nThou by all wilt be confessed,
\nGod in Man made manifest.<\/p>\n

Grant us grace to see thee, Lord,
\nMirrored in thy holy word;
\nMay we imitate thee now,
\nAnd be pure, as pure art thou;
\nThat we like to thee may be
\nAt thy great Epiphany;
\nAnd may praise thee, ever blest,
\nGod in Man made manifest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Christopher Wordsworth (1807-1885) was the nephew of the poet William Wordsworth. Christopher Wordsworth was an athlete, classicist, poet, and Anglican bishop of Lincoln, to which he was appointed by Disraeli.<\/p>\n

He was born at Lambeth (of which parish his father was then the rector) the youngest son of Christopher Wordsworth, afterwards Master of Trinity College, Cambridge. He was educated at Winchester, where he distinguished himself both as a scholar and as an athlete. In 1826 he matriculated at Trinity College, Cambridge, and in 1830 graduated as Senior Classic in the Classical Tripos, and 14th Senior Optime in the Mathematical, won the First Chancellor\u2019s Medal for classical studies, and was elected Fellow of Trinity.<\/p>\n

Dr. Wordsworth, like the Wesleys, looked upon hymns as a valuable means of stamping permanently upon the memory the great doctrines of the Christian Church. He held it to be \u201cthe first duty of a hymn-writer to teach sound doctrine, and thus to save souls.\u201d He thought that the materials for English Church hymns should be sought (1) in the Holy Scriptures, (2) in the writings of Christian Antiquity, and (3) in the Poetry of the Ancient Church. His\u00a0<\/strong>own hymns more nearly resemble those of the Eastern, as may be seen by comparing The Holy Year<\/em> with Dr. Mason Neale\u2019s Hymns of the Eastern Church translated, with Notes, &c<\/em>. The reason of this perhaps half-unconscious resemblance is not far to seek. Christopher Wordsworth, like the Greek hymnwriters, drew his inspiration from Holy Scripture, and he loved, as they did, to interpret Holy Scripture mystically. He thought that \u201dthe dangers to which the Faith of England (especially in regard to the Old Testament) was exposed, arose from the abandonment of the ancient Christian, Apostolic and Patristic system of interpretation of the Old Testament for the frigid and servile modern exegesis of the literalists, who see nothing in the Old Testament but a common history, and who read it (as St. Paul says the Jews do) \u2018with a veil on their heart, which veil\u2019 (he adds) \u2018is done away in Christ.’\u201d\u00a0In the same spirit, he sought and found Christ everywhere in the New Testament. The Gospel History was only the history of what \u201cJesus began to do and to teach\u201d on earth; the Acts of the Apostles and all the Epistles were the history of what he continued to do and to teach from Heaven; and the Apocalypse (perhaps his favorite book) was \u201cthe seal and colophon of all.”<\/p>\n

Frances and G. K. Chesterton<\/em><\/p>\n

The anthem is a 1918 setting by Howells of the following poem by Frances Chesterton (1869-1938):<\/p>\n

Here is the little door, lift up the latch, oh lift!
\nWe need not wander more but enter with our gift;
\nOur gift of finest gold,
\nGold that was never bought nor sold;
\nMyrrh to be strewn about his bed;
\nIncense in clouds about his head;
\nAll for the Child who stirs not in his sleep.
\nBut holy slumber holds with ass and sheep.<\/p>\n

Bend low about his bed, for each he has a gift;
\nSee how his eyes awake, lift up your hands, O lift!
\nFor gold, he gives a keen-edged sword
\n(Defend with it Thy little Lord!),
\nFor incense, smoke of battle red.
\nMyrrh for the honoured happy dead;
\nGifts for his children terrible and sweet,
\nTouched by such tiny hands and
\nOh such tiny feet.<\/p>\n

Frances Chesterton (n\u00e9e Blogg) has been somewhat overshadowed in posterity by the fame of her husband G. K. Chesterton. Although the published author of four books, she is best known today for another Christmas poem,\u2019How far is it to Bethlehem?\u2019, set to a hymn tune and frequently subject to such twee renderings as these two. Howells\u2019s setting of \u2018Here is the Little Door\u2019 is perhaps the perfect antidote to an over-sweetened Christmas, taking a subtle approach to a deeply ambivalent text.<\/p>\n

Even in the relatively early \u2018Here is the Little Door\u2019 there is an indication of the mystical choral style that Howells would later make his own. The poem depicts the visit of the Magi, first through evocative description of the traditionally attributed gifts \u2013 gold, myrrh and incense. Howells uses a modal harmony throughout, with a hushed opening in A minor leading soon after to a blazing cadence in C major for \u2018Our gift of finest gold\u2019. At \u2018Incense in clouds about his head\u2019 Howells uses his characteristic \u2018Phrygian\u2019 flattened second in the bass. Indeed there is a brief settling on the Phrygian 2nd as a chord of Eb major at \u2018sleep\u2019 before a minor plagal cadence (with added 7th!) leads us to the D major conclusion of the first verse.<\/p>\n

The second verse is where Howells\u2019s word-painting comes to the fore in illustrating the ambivalence of Chesterton\u2019s text. Christ repays the Magi with his own gifts \u2013 a sword and the smoke of battle, and returns the myrrh for embalming the \u2018honoured happy dead\u2019. A far cry from the childish innocence of \u2018How far is it to Bethlehem?\u2019. Howells first flags up the new atmosphere in his use of a modal B minor cadence (as opposed to G major in the first verse) on \u2018lift up your hands, O lift\u2019, and depicts the \u2018keen-edged sword\u2019 with a unison phrase on \u2018Defend with it Thy little lord\u2019. The piece then safely returns to rest with a repetition of the sublime extended plagal cadence of the first verse.<\/p>\n

Despite this resolution, there is an uncomfortable tension wrought by the poem and setting which cannot be ignored. How can the Christmas message of peace and love be reconciled with a call to arms, attested by millennia of Christian warfare? I believe both poet and composer were alert to this tension, and should be commended for allowing these conflicting moods to sit side by side. Perhaps \u2018Here is the Little Door\u2019 can serve as a salutary reminder; that there is an ever-present possibility for bold faith to be used in the service of deadly hate. (Charlie Warren).<\/p>\n

Perhaps, but G. K. was very militaristic, and wrote:<\/p>\n

To Belloc<\/p>\n

For every tiny town or place
\nGod made the stars especially;
\nBabies look up with owlish face
\nAnd see them tangled in a tree;
\nYou saw a moon from Sussex Downs,
\nA Sussex moon, untravelled still,
\nI saw a moon that was the town’s,
\nThe largest lamp on Campden Hill.<\/p>\n

Yea; Heaven is everywhere at home
\nThe big blue cap that always fits,
\nAnd so it is (be calm; they come
\nTo goal at last, my wandering wits),
\nSo is it with the heroic thing;
\nThis shall not end for the world’s end
\nAnd though the sullen engines swing,
\nBe you not much afraid, my friend.<\/p>\n

This did not end by Nelson’s urn
\nWhere an immortal England sits–
\nNor where your tall young men in turn
\nDrank death like wine at Austerlitz.
\nAnd when the pedants bade us mark
\nWhat cold mechanic happenings
\nMust come; our souls said in the dark,
\n‘Belike; but there are likelier things.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Likelier across these flats afar<\/span>
\nThese sulky levels smooth and free<\/span>
\nThe drums shall crash a waltz of war<\/span>
\nAnd Death shall dance with Liberty;<\/span>
\nLikelier the barricades shall blare<\/span>
\nSlaughter below and smoke above,<\/span>
\nAnd death and hate and hell declare<\/span>
\nThat men have found a thing to love.<\/span><\/p>\n

Far from your sunny uplands set
\nI saw the dream; the streets I trod
\nThe lit straight streets shot out and met
\nThe starry streets that point to God.
\nThis legend of an epic hour
\nA child I dreamed, and dream it still,
\nUnder the great grey water-tower
\nThat strikes the stars on Campden Hill<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Was Frances reacting against her husband, or agreeing with him?<\/p>\n
