Author: Oliver Wendell Holmes Hymnal: The Worshipbook #463 (1972) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord of all being, throned afar,
Your glory flames from sun and star;
Center and soul of every sphere,
Yet to each loving heart how near!
2 Sun of our life, your quickening ray
Sheds on our path the glow of day;
Star of our hope, your softened light
Cheers the long watches of the night.
3 Lord of all life, below, above,
Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,
Before your ever-blazing throne
We ask no luster of our own.
4 Grant us your truth for which we yearn,
And kindling hearts that for you burn,
Till all your living altars claim
One holy light, one heavenly flame.
Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Opening of Worship; Service for the Lord's Day After Old Testament Lesson; Acts of the Church The Marriage Service Scripture: Romans 13:10-11 Tune Title: LOUVAN
