Light of the world

Author: Jno. S. B. Monsell Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal #79 (1904) First Line: Blest Light of the world, we hail Thee Lyrics: 1 Blest Light of the world, we hail Thee, Now flushing the eastern skies; Nor ever shall darkness vail Thee Again from our mortal eyes. Alas! far too long withholden, Now spread from shore to shore; Thy radiance, so glad, so golden, Shall set on the earth no more. 2 Fair Light of the world, Thy beauty Shall steal into every heart; It sweetly adorns with duty Life’s poorest and lowliest part; Thou robest in matchless splendor The simple ways of men, And helpest them all to render That light back to Thee again. 3 Mild Light of the world, before Thee In homage we humbly fall; We worship, we magnify Thee, Lord Jesus, the life of all, With whom there is no forgetting Of all Thine hand hath made; Whose rising shall have no setting, Whose sunshine shall have no shade. 4 Clear Light of the world, illumine Thine sin-darkened world of Thine Until everything that’s human Is filled with a light divine, Until every tongue and nation From sin’s dominion free, Arise in the new creation That springeth from love and Thee. Topics: Praise Tune Title: [Blest Light of the world, we hail Thee]
