O for a Sweet, Inspiring Ray

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4820 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. O for a sweet, inspiring ray, To animate our feeble strains, From the bright realms of endless day, The blissful realms where Jesus reigns. 2. There low before the glorious throne, Adoring saints and angels fall! And with delightful worship own His smile their bliss, their heav’n, their all. 3. Immortal glories crown His head, While tuneful hallelujahs rise, And love, and joy, and triumph spread, Thro’ all th’assemblies of the skies. 4. He smiles, and seraphs tune their songs, To boundless rapture while they gaze; Ten thousand, joyful tongues Resound His everlasting praise. Languages: English Tune Title: DEVOTION

O for a sweet, inspiring Ray

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXVII (1791) Lyrics: 1 O for a sweet inspiring Ray, To animate our feeble Strains, From the bright Realms of Endless Day, The blissful Realms, where Jesus reigns! 2 There low before his glorious Throne, Adoring Saints and Angels fall And with delightful Worship own His Smile their Bliss, their Heav'n, their all. 3 Immortal Glories crown his Head, While tuneful Hallelujahs rise: And Love, and Joy, and Triumph spread Thro' all th' Assemblies of the Skies. 4 He Smiles, and Seraphs Tune their Songs, To boundless Rapture while they Gaze; Ten thousand thousand joyful tongues Resound his Everlasting Praise. 5 There all the ransom'd of the Lamb Shall join at last the Heav'nly choir; O may the Joy-inspiring them, Awake our Faith, our warm Desire! 6 Dear Saviour, let thy Spirit Seal Our Int'rest in that blissful Place. Till Death remove this Mortal Veil And we behold thy lovely Face. Languages: English
