Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light by Johann Rist BREAK FORTH, O BEAUTEOUS HEAVENLY LIGHT—Johann Schop Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light 1 Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light , And usher in the morning; O shepherds, greet that glorious sight, Our Lord a crib adorning. This child, this little helpless boy, Shall be our confidence and joy, The power of Satan breaking, Our peace eternal making.
