O God of Light
Author: Arthur S. Booth-Clibborn Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: O God of light, O God of love Lyrics: 1. O God of light, O God of love,
Shine on my soul from Heaven above!
Let sin appear in Thy pure ray
As black as on the judgment day;
Let perfect love apply the test,
And all that’s wrong make manifest.
2. O take Thy plummet and Thy line,
Apply them to this heart of mine,
And thus reveal each crooked place,
By contrast with true righteousness!
Let holy truth condemn each sham;
Show what Thou art, and what I am.
3. O smite and spare not, faithful God!
A Father’s hand still holds the rod;
O make my sin-stained conscience smart,
And write Thy law upon my heart
So plainly, that my will shall bow
In full surrender, here and now!
4. Work on in me Thy perfect will,
In me Thy promise, Lord, fulfill;
O make me quick to fight for Thee,
And set my soul in liberty!
My soul can rest in nothing less
Than in a spotless holiness. Used With Tune: SAGINA (Short) Text Sources: Salvation Army's War Cry, April 13, 1895

Thomas Campbell
1777 - 1844 Composer of "SAGINA (Short)" in The Cyber Hymnal Campbell, Thomas, the Poet, has little in common with hymnody. A few of his pieces, including," When Jordan hushed its waters still," are found in a limited number of hymnals. His poetical works, The Pleasures of Hope, Gertrude of Wyoming, and others, have been reprinted several times. He was born at Glasgow, 1777; died at Boulogne, 1844, and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

R. C. Waterston
1812 - 1893 Author of "O God of light and love" Waterston, Robert Cassie, M.A., son of Robert Waterston, was born at Kennebunk, in 1812, but has resided from his infancy at Boston, Massachusetts. He studied Theology at Cambridge; had for five years the charge of a Sunday school for the children of seamen; was associated for several years with the Pitts Street Unitarian Chapel, Boston; and then pastor for seven years of the Unitarian Church of the Saviour in the same city. Much of his time has been given to literature, and a long list of his papers of various kinds is given in Putnam's Singers and Songs of the Liberal Faith, 1874. He also interested himself largely in educational matters. He contributed one hymn to the American Unitarian Cheshire Pastoral Association Christian Hymns, 1844; to his own popular Supplement to Greenwood's Psalms and Hymns, 1845, and others to various works. Putnam gives 20 poetical pieces in his Singers and Songs, &c, 1874, amongst which are the following, which are in common use at the present time:—
1. In darkest hours I hear a voice. Looking unto Jesus. Contributed to Putnam's Singers and Songs, &c, 1874, and found in a few collections.
2. In each breeze that wanders free. Nature and the Soul. Published before 1853, and again in Putnam, 1874. The hymn "Nature, with eternal youth," in Hedge and Huntington's Hymns for the Church of Christ, 1853, No. 185, is composed of stanza iv-vii. of this piece.
3. One sweet [bright] flower has drooped and faded. Death of a Child. Appeared in the American Unitarian Cheshire Pastoral Association Christian Hymns, 1844, No. 668, and again in Putnam, 1874, as “One bright flower, &c." It is in several collections. In the Christian Hymns the heading is "Death of a Pupil;" and Putnam, "On the Death of a Child. Sung by her classmates."
In Putnam there are other pieces by him which are worthy of attention. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]
