Light upon our gloom arising

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Light upon our gloom arising, Herald of the perfect day; Night, and all its powers despising, Hail we now Thy glorious ray. From the home of light excelling, Comes He forth in raiment bright, Stealing to the noisome dwelling Of the denizen of night. To the hopeless, bound and sighing, Held in darkness as a snare, Comes He forth, their bands untying, Giving hope for gaunt despair. To the faithless, faint and failing, Leaning on a staff that breaks,-- Kindling lights all unavailing,-- Lo, the Light of lights awakes. To the fearful heart in sorrow, Tossed upon a troubled sea, Comes that Light as on the morrow When He walked on Galilee. 16 Lord of life, on Thee depending, Would we lift our eyes to Thee; From the bliss of Heaven descending, Come, our souls from dying free.

Lord, if faith is disenchanted

Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord, if faith is disenchanted, if our pain persists too long, show us that your love is planted deeper far than all time's wrong. 2 If we feel ourselves forsaken, overwhelmed by sin and grief, prove your love, though faith is shaken, deeper than our unbelief. 3 Where injustice and oppression make the poor and weak despair, prove your love's profound compassion, deeper than their deepest prayer. 4 When the children, Lord, are dying, anguished parents asking, 'Why?', prove your love, in grief and crying, deeper than grief's deepest cry. 5 Let the cross, your love's perfection, present with us all along, prove itself, in resurrection, deeper far than all time's wrong.
