Lord of all being, throned afar
Author: Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 429 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 43:3 Lyrics: 1 Lord of all being, throned afar,
thy glory flames from sun and star;
centre and soul of every sphere,
yet to each loving heart how near!
2 Sun of our life, thy quickening ray
sheds on our path the glow of day;
Star of our hope, thy softened light
cheers the long watches of the night.
3 Our midnight is thy smile withdrawn,
our noontide is thy gracious dawn,
our rainbow arch thy mercy's sign;
all, save the clouds of sin, are thine.
4 Lord of all life, below, above,
whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,
before thy ever-blazing throne
we ask no lustre of our own.
5 Grant us thy truth to make us free,
and kindling hearts that burn for thee,
till all thy living altars claim
one holy light, one heavenly flame. Topics: God in majesty; Light Used With Tune: OMBERSLEY

Author: Anon.; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 73 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 43:3-4 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, be present now,

your Spirit send with grace divine,
and let your truth within us shine.

"Holy are you, O Lord Most High!"
And in the light of that blest place
fore'er behold you face to face.

To you, O blessed Trinity,
be praise throughout eternity! Topics: Christ Abiding with Believers; Opening of Worship; Trinity Used With Tune: HERR JESU CHRIST DICH ZU UNS WEND
