Eternal Light! Eternal Light!

Author: Thomas Binney Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #41 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Topics: God Light Lyrics: 1 Eternal light! Eternal light! How pure that soul must be, when, placed within thy searching sight, it shrinks not, but with calm delight can live and look on thee. 2 The spirits that surround thy throne may bear the burning bliss; but that is surely theirs alone, since they have never, never known a fallen world like this. 3 O how shall I, whose native sphere is dark, whose mind is dim, before th'ineffable appear, and on my naked spirit bear the uncreated beam? 4 There is a way for us to rise to that sublime abode, an off'ring and a sacrifice, a Holy Spirit's energies, an Advocate with God. 5 These, these prepare us for the sight of holiness above; the heirs of ignorance and night may dwell in the eternal light, through the eternal Love!

O God of God! O Light of Light!

Author: John Julian Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #71 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Names and Office of Christ Light Lyrics: 1 O God of God! O Light of light! Thou Prince of Peace, Thou King of kings, To Thee, where angels know no night, The song of praise forever rings: To Him who sits upon the throne, The Lamb once slain for sinful men, Be honor, might, all by Him won; Glory and praise! Amen, Amen! 2 Deep in the prophets' sacred page, Grand in the poets' winged word, Slowly in type, from age to age, Nations beheld their coming Lord; Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song, "Good will to men!" Hymned by the first-born sons of light, Re-echoed now, "Good will!" Amen! 3 Nations afar, in ignorance deep; Isles of the sea where darkness lay; These hear Thy voice, they wake from sleep, And throng with joy the upward way. They cry with us, "Send forth Thy light, O Lamb, once slain for sinful men; Burst Satan's bonds, O God of might; Set all men free! Amen, Amen!" 4 Sing to the Lord a glorious song, Sing to His Name, His love forthtell; Sing on, heaven's host, His praise prolong; Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell: "Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain; From angels, praise; and thanks from men; Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign, Glory and power! Amen, Amen!" Amen. Scripture: Psalm 43:3 Languages: English Tune Title: PETERBOROUGH
