There is Light for All

Author: Sallie K. Best Hymnal: Inspiring Songs No. 1 #145 (1906) Topics: Light First Line: God's true holy light is breaking Refrain First Line: There is light for all! Hallelujah Lyrics: 1 God’s true holy light is breaking, Gleaming forth o’er land and sea; Men are now their sins forsaking, Praising Him who set them free. As the sunshine wakes the daisies And the lilies pure and sweet, So His love awakes our praises While we worship at His feet. Chorus: There is light for all! Hallelujah! Jesus drives our care away, Turns our night to blissful day; Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Yes, the light of love is breaking over all. 2 There is joyful music ringing, And we hear the merry bird, As God’s praise he too is singing; And our heart with love is stirred. As we see the wondrous gladness That the light of love can bring, We forget all care and sadness And we think of Christ our King. [Chorus] 3 Oh, God’s light of love is breaking, Growing brighter ev’ry hour; For the world is now awaking Through His own majestic power, He who forms the tiny snowflake, He who heeds the sparrow’s fall, Cares for all His earthly children, Brings the light of love to all. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [God's true holy light is breaking]

Light of Light, O Sun of Heaven

Lead me by the hand, I pray, Lest in error's path I stray; Make Thy light my sole attraction, Guiding every thought and action. 3 Spirit of the heavenly morning, Shine into my darkened heart, That, the way of life discerning, I may choose the better part. Make my erring walk secure, Every thought and action pure; Whereso'er my feet be turning, Keep Thy zeal within me burning. 4 Deign Thy feeble flock to strengthen By the bonds of sacred love, And Thy lines of empire lengthen By Thy power from above. Help us govern in Thy sight, That our laws be just and right; That we suffer no oppression, Make our land Thine own possession. 5 Let our lamp of faith be burning On that awful judgment day. While in sin's domain sojourning, Guide us in the heavenward way: Then their praise and thanks to Thee, Lord, in all eternity Shall Thy happy children render, For Thy mercies, kind and tender. Amen.

Ye Are the Light of the World

Author: R. J. Craig Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary #392 (1972) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: The Church Light of the World Lyrics: 1 Ye are the light of the world, Driving the darkness away, Shedding your beams on the lost, Changing their night into day. Then let your light ever shine, Showing the right way to go; Gladly the lost ones will see— God’s boundless love they will know. 2 Ye are the light of the world, Causing the clouds to depart, Throwing the sunshine of peace Down on the poor burdened heart. Then let your light ever shine; Loved ones are panting for rest; Sunshine their souls will revive, Lifting them up to the blest. 3 Ye are the light of the world; Thro’ you the true light must shine, Calling the lost sons of men Home to the Father divine. Then let your light ever shine, Hallow the name that is love; You will each shine as a star, Fixed in the orbit above. Scripture: Matthew 5:14 Languages: English Tune Title: YE ARE THE LIGHT
Ye Are the Light of the World
