Author: Sarah E. Taylor, 1883-1954 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #507 (2006) Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: O God of light, your word, a lamp unfailing Lyrics: 1 O God of light, your word, a lamp unfailing,
shall pierce the darkness of our earthbound way
and show Your grace, your plan for us unveiling,
and guide our footsteps to the perfect day.
2 From days of old, through blind and willful ages,
though we rebelled, you gently sought again,
and spoke through saints, apostles, prophets, sages,
who wrote with eager or reluctant pen.
3 Undimmed by time, those words are still revealing
to sinful hearts your justice and your grace;
and questing spirits, longing for your healing,
see your compassion in the Savior's face.
4 To all the world your summons you are sending,
through all the earth, to ev'ry land and race,
that myriad tongues, in one great anthem blending,
may praise and celebrate your gift of grace. Topics: Word of God; Epiphany, Time After Epiphany; Reign of Christ Languages: English Tune Title: ATKINSON
