Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 475 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true and only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise,
triumph o'er the shades of night;
Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
unaccompanied by thee;
joyless is the day's return
till thy mercy's beams I see,
till they inward light impart,
glad my eyes and warm my heart.
3 Visit, then, this soul of mine,
pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, Radiancy divine,
scatter all my unbelief;
more and more thyself display,
shining to the perfect day!

Song of Zechariah
Author: Michael A. Perry Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 First Line: Blest be the God of Israel Lyrics: 1 Blest by the God of Israel,
Who comes to set us free;
Who visits and redeems us,
Who grants us liberty.
The prophets spoke of mercy,
Of freedom and release;
God shall fulfull that promise
And bring the people peace.
2 God from the house of David
A child of grace has given;
A Savior comes among us
To raise us up to heaven.
Before Him goes the herald,
Forerunner in the way,
The prophet of salvation,
The harbinger of day.
3 On those who sit in darkness
The sun begins to rise,
The dawning of forgiveness
Upon the sinner's eyes.
God guides the feet of pilgrims
Along the paths of peace.
O bless our God and Savior
With songs that never cease! Used With Tune: MERLE'S TUNE
Song of Zechariah
Song of Zechariah (Blessed Be the God of Israel)
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 First Line: Blessed be the God of Israel who comes to set us free Lyrics: 1
Blessed be the God of Israel who comes to set us
free
and raises up new hope for us: a branch from
David’s tree.
So have the prophets long declared that with a
mighty arm
God would turn back our enemies and all who wish
us harm.
2
With promised mercy will God still the covenant
recall,
the oath once sworn to Abraham, from foes to save
us all,
that we might worship without fear and offer lives of
praise,
in holiness and righteousness to serve God all our
days.
3
My child, as prophet of the Lord you will prepare the
way,
to tell God’s people they are saved from sin’s eternal
sway.
Then shall God’s mercy from on high shine forth
and never cease
to drive away the gloom of death and lead us into
peace.
