"The world's true Light"

Author: William W. How Appears in 64 hymnals Scripture: Malachi 4:2 First Line: O One with God the Father Lyrics: 1 O one with God the Father In majesty and might, The brightness of his glory, Eternal Light of light; O'er this our home of darkness Thy rays are streaming now; The shadows flee before thee, The world's true Light art thou. 2 Yet, Lord, we see but darkly:-- O heavenly Light, arise, Dispel these mists that shroud us, And hide thee from our eyes! We long to track the footprints That thou thyself hast trod; We long to see the pathway That leads to thee our God. 3 O Jesus, shine around us With radiance of thy grace; O Jesus, turn upon us The brightness of thy face. We need no star to guide us, As on our way we press, If thou thy light vouchsafest, O Sun of righteousness!

Author: T. T. Lynch Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 58 hymnals Scripture: Malachi 4:2 Lyrics: 1 Oh, where is he that trod the sea? Oh, where is he that spake, And lepers from their pains are free, And slaves their fetters break? The lame and palsied freely rise, With joy the dumb do sing; And on the darkened, blinded eyes, Glad beams of morning spring! 2 Oh, where is he that trod the sea? Oh, where is he that spake, And demons from their victims flee, The dead from slumber wake? Here, here art thou, almighty Lord! Oh, speak to us once more, And let thy healing, quickening word Our ruined souls restore! Topics: Christ Life, Office, and Example; Miracles of Christ

O Lord, How Shall I Meet You

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 47 hymnals Scripture: Malachi 4:2 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how shall I meet you, how welcome you aright? Your people long to greet you, my hope, my heart's delight. O Jesus, let your Word be a lamp to light my way, to show me how to please you, to guide me ev'ry day. 2 Love caused your incarnation; love brought you down to me. Your thirst for my salvation procured my liberty. Oh, love beyond all telling that led you to embrace in love, all love excelling, our lost and fallen race! 3 Rejoice, then, you sad-hearted, who sit in deepest gloom, who mourn o'er joys departed and tremble at your doom. Despair not; he is near you, he's standing at the door who best can help and cheer you and bids you weep no more. 4 Sin's debt, that fearful burden, let not your souls distress; your guilt the Lord will pardon and cover by his grace. He comes, for you procuring the peace of sin forgiv'n, his children thus securing eternal life in heav'n. 5 He comes to judge the nations, a terror to his foes, a light of consolation and blessèd hope to those who love the Lord's appearing. O glorious Sun, now come, send forth your beams most cheering, and guide us safely home. Topics: Advent Used With Tune: WIE SOLL ICH DICH EMPFANGEN Text Sources: D. M.
