Behold the morning sun
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 318 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 8:20 Lyrics: 1 Behold, the morning sun
Begins his glorious way;
His beams through all the nations run,
And life and light convey.
2 But where the gospel comes,
It spreads diviner light;
It calls dead sinners from their tombs,
And gives the blind their sight.
3 How perfect is thy word!
And all thy judgments just!
Forever sure thy promise, Lord,
And we securely trust.
4 My gracious God, how plain
Are thy directions given!
Oh, may I never read in vain,
But find the path to heaven. Topics: The Bible; Power of God's Word
Behold the morning sun
God of freedom, God of justice
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, b. 1931 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 8:6 Lyrics: 1 God of freedom, God of justice,
God whose love is strong as death,
God who saw the dark of prison,
God who knew the price of faith:
touch our world of sad oppression
with your Spirit's healing breath.
2 Rid the earth of torture's terror,
God whose hands were nailed to wood;
hear the cries of pain and protest,
God who shed the tears and blood;
move in us the power of pity,
restless for the common good.
3 Make in us a captive conscience
quick to hear, to act, to plead;
make us truly sisters, brothers
of whatever race or creed:
teach us to be fully human,
open to each other's need. Topics: Peace and Justice Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN
God of freedom, God of justice
What says the Bible? few can tell
Author: F. E. B. Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 8:20 First Line: What says the Bible, the blessed Bible? Lyrics: 1 What says the Bible, the blessed Bible?
This should my only question be;
Teachings of men so often mislead us,
What says the book of God to me?
Chorus:
What says the Bible? few can tell;
What says the Bible? study it well.
Keep the commandments, the ten commandments,
Look for the coming Saviour too.
2 Few ever study the law eternal,
Few ever seek to know or do;
Yet there are some who try to improve it,
Touching the fourth commandment too. [Chorus]
3 How will you answer at Jesus' coming
Ye who Jehovah's law construe?
Can you reply, "I've kept the commandments"?
Answer the question, each of you. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Scriptures, Law, Sabbath Used With Tune: WHAT SAYS THE BIBLE?
