Father of Lights, Eternal Lord
Author: Johann Olof Wallin; Fred N. From Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father of lights, eternal Lord,
To Thee be thanks and praise,
Who gavest us Thy Holy Word
To guide our earthly ways.
2 How gently in this precious Word
Thy Spirit speaks to mine!
O Father, there Thy voice is heard
By every child of Thine.
3 A pilgrim in this far-off land,
I in that light rejoice,
Wherein I see Thy guiding hand,
And hear Thy heavenly voice.
4 True faith in Thee and in Thy Word,
With deeds of Christian love,
And peace with heaven and earth, O Lord,
Shall me Thy servant prove.
5 In Thee our Father's will we praise,
Our Saviour we adore,
The same to-day and all our days,
Now and for evermore.
Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Word; Epiphany, Fifth Sunday; Trinity, Eighth Sunday Used With Tune: NUN DANKET ALL' UND BRINGET EHR (STÖRL)
Father of Lights, Eternal Lord
I Know in Whom I Trust
Author: Johan Olof Wallin; Samuel Magnus Hill Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I know in Whom I trust
When guilt of sin oppresses,
When anguish and remorse
My burdened soul distresses;
I come before Thy throne,
O God, in Jesus' Name;
Thy mercy, love, and truth
Forever are the same.
2 I know in Whom I trust
When, troubled and dejected,
I lack the strength to go
The way of God selected'
To Jesus then I pray
With a repentant mind,
And strength of holiness
I through His Spirit find.
3 I know in Whom I trust
When worldly pomp and splendor
Would lure my heart away,
For He is my Defender.
I hear His warning voice,
I feel His loving hand;
Temptations and deceits
With Him I thus withstand.
4 I know in Whom I trust
When peace and joy forsake me,
When fain my heart would break,
And sorrows overtake me.
The suffering of my Lord,
His anguish, pain, and woe
Remind me of the way
We after Him must go.
5 I know in Whom I trust
When evening shadows lengthen,
When death stands at the door,--
For Christ is there to strengthen.
He died upon the cross
To conquer death and hell;
A Conqueror He rose,
And all with us is well.
6 I know in Whom I trust;
I praise Him and adore Him;
By works I show my faith;
My heart I lay before Him;
Not only crying, "Lord!"
I take Him as my Guide,
And thus in life and death
In Him alone abide.
Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification; Names and Office of Christ Conqueror; Names and Office of Christ Defender; Names and Office of Christ Guide Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:12 Used With Tune: ACH JESU, DESSEN TREU
