Light of the world, we hail Thee

Author: Rev. John S. B. Monsell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 128 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of the world, we hail Thee, Flushing the eastern skies; Never shall darkness veil Thee Again from human eyes; Too long, alas, withholden, Now spread from shore to shore; Thy light, so glad and golden, Shall set on earth no more. 2 Light of the world, Thy beauty Steals into every heart, And glorifies with duty Life's poorest, humblest part; Thou robest in Thy splendor The simple ways of men, And helpest them to render Light back to Thee again. 3 Light of the world, illumine This darkened land of Thine, Till everything that's human Be filled with what's divine; Till every tongue and nation, From sin's dominion free, Rise in the new creation Which springs from love and Thee. Amen.

Author: A. P. Cecil, 1841-1889 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our great High Priest is sitting at God's right hand above, for us His hands uplifting in sympathy and love; whilst here below, in weakness, we onward speed our way, in sorrow oft and sickness, we sigh, and groan, and pray. 2 Through manifold temptation, my soul holds on its course; Christ's mighty intercession alone is my resource; my gracious High Priest's pleadings, who on the cross did bleed, bring own God's grace and blessings and help in hour of need. 3 'Twas God's most gracious favor that gave His Son to die, to live our Intercessor, to plead for us on high. O Jesus, blessed Savior, who soon for us will come, redemption's work completed, our battle fought, and won. Topics: Jesus Christ Resurrection and Exaltation Used With Tune: MEIRIONYDD

Where'er His Creatures Gather

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Where'er His creatures gather The unseen God is near; Let rulers fear their Ruler, Their Judge let judges fear. How long, ye earthly judges, Will ye pervert the right? How long shall wicked persons Have favor in your sight? 2 Do justice for the helpless, The orphan's cause maintain. Defend the poor and needy, Oppressed and wronged for gain. When rulers walk in darkness, When judges truth forsake, The cornerstones are crumbled, The firm foundations shake. 3 The Most High God has called you And set you up on high, But ye to Him must answer, For ye like men must die. Arise, O God eternal, Thou Judge of all the earth, Through all Thy ransomed nations Send now Thy justice forth.
