The people that in darkness sat

Author: John Morrison (1750-1798) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The people that in darkness sat a glorious light have seen; the light has shined on them who long in shades of death have been. 2 To hail thee, Sun of Righteousness, the gathering nations come; they joy as when the reapers bear their harvest treasures home. 3 For thou their burden dost remove, and break the tyrant's rod, as in the day when Midian fell before the sword of God. 4 For unto us a child is born, to us a Son is given, and on his shoulder ever rests all power in earth and heaven. 5 His name shall be the Prince of Peace, the everlasting Lord, the Wonderful, the Counsellor, the God by all adored. 6 His righteous government and power shall over all extend; on judgement and on justice based, his reign shall have no end. 7 Lord Jesus, reign in us, we pray, and make us thine alone, who with the Father ever art and Holy Spirit One.

Almighty God, thy piercing eye

Appears in 82 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, thy piercing eye Strikes thro' the shades of night. And our most secret actions lie All open to thy sight. 2 There's not a sin that we commit, Nor wicked word we say, But in thy dreadful book 'tis writ Against the judgment day. 3 And must the crimes that I have done Be read and published there? Be all exposed before the sun. While men and angels hear? 4 Lord, at thy foot ashamed I lie, Upward I dare not look: Pardon my sins before I die. And blot them from thy book 5 Remember all the dying pains That my Redeemer felt, And let his blood wash out my stains And answer for my guilt. Used With Tune: DUNDEE

All That I was, my Sin, my Guilt

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 123 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All that I was, my sin, my guilt, My death, was all my own; All that I am, I owe to Thee, My gracious God, alone. 2 The evil of my former state Was mine, and only mine; The good in which I now rejoice Is Thine, and only Thine. 3 The darkness of my former state, The bondage, all was mine; The light of life in which I walk, The liberty, is Thine. 4 Thy grace first made me feel my sin, It taught me to believe; Then in believing, peace I found, And now I live, I live. 5 All that I am, e'en here on earth, All that I hope to be When Jesus comes and glory dawns, I owe it, Lord, to Thee. Amen. Topics: Faith and Justification Used With Tune: DUNDEE
