Lord Jesus Christ, My Life, My Light

Author: M Behemb; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Jesus, Our Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, my Life, my Light, My strength by day, my trust by night, On earth I'm but a passing guest, And sorely by my sins oppressed. 2 O let thy sufferings give me power To meet the last and darkest hour. Thy cross, the staff whereon I lean, My couch, the grave where Thou hast been. 3 Since Thou hast died, the pure, the just, I take my homeward way in trust; The gates of heaven, Lord, open wide, When here I may no more abide. 4 And when the last great day is come, And Thou, our Judge, shalt speak the doom, Let me with joy behold the light, And set me then upon Thy right. 5 Renew this wasted flesh of mine, That like the sun it there may shine Among the angels pure and bright. Yea, like thyself, in glorious light. 6 Ah, then I have my heart's desire, When, singing with the angels' choir, Among the ransomed of thy grace, Forever I behold thy face. AMEN.

Word of God, our flesh that fashioned, with the fire of life impassioned, striving still to truth unknown, soaring, dying round your throne. 2 Through the way where hope is guiding, hark, what peaceful music rings; where the flock, in you confiding, drink of joy from deathless springs. Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure; theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure. You, forever, lead your own in the love of joys unknown. Used With Tune: JESU, JOY (WERDE MUNTER)

Thy rod and staff shall cheer me In death's dark vale and shade, For Thou wilt then be near me: I shall not be afraid. 3 My food Thou dost appoint me, Supplied before my foes; With oil Thou dost anoint me, My cup of bliss o'erflows. Thy goodness, Lord, shall guide me, Thy mercy cheer my way; A home Thou wilt provide me Within Thy house for aye. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: EWING

Redeemer of Israel, Our only delight, On whom for a blessing we call, Our shadow by day And our pillar by night, Our King, our Deliv’rer, our all! 2. We know he is coming To gather his sheep And lead them to Zion in love, For why in the valley Of death should they weep Or in the lone wilderness rove? 3. How long we have wandered As strangers in sin And cried in the desert for thee! Our foes have rejoiced When our sorrows they’ve seen, But Israel will shortly be free. 4. As children of Zion, Good tidings for us. The tokens already appear. Fear not, and be just, For the kingdom is ours. The hour of redemption is near. 5. Restore, my dear Savior, The light of thy face; Thy soul-cheering comfort impart; And let the sweet longing For thy holy place Bring hope to my desolate heart. 6. He looks! and ten thousands Of angels rejoice, And myriads wait for his word; He speaks! and eternity, Filled with his voice, Re-echoes the praise of the Lord. Scripture: Exodus 13:21-22 Used With Tune: [Redeemer of Israel]
