let there be light.

on your redeeming wing,
healing and sight,
health to the sick in mind,
sight to the inly blind,
now to all humankind
let there be light.

life-giving, holy dove,
speed forth your flight;
move o'er the water's face,
bearing the lamp of grace,
and in earth's darkest place
let there be light.

glorious Trinity,
Wisdom, Love, Might,
boundless as ocean's tide
rolling in fullest pride,
through the world far and wide
let there be light. Topics: The Holy Spirit in the Church Enlivening and Renewing the Church; The Being of God Holy and One; God In Creation; God in Trinity; Gospel Call; Healing; Word of God Used With Tune: ITALIAN HYMN

To praise the Lamb for sinners slain.

And joyfully embrace Your cause;

And thank You for Your saving grace;

With You, beneath the yielding wave.

The Glory of These Forty Days
Author: Gregory the Great; Maurice F. Bell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 3:1-3 Lyrics: 1 The glory of these forty days
we celebrate with songs of praise;
for Christ, by whom all things were made,
himself has fasted and has prayed.
2 Alone and fasting Moses saw
the loving God who gave the law;
and to Elijah, fasting, came
the steeds and chariots of flame.
3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight,
delivered from the lions’ might;
and John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became
the herald of Messiah’s name.
4 Then grant that we like them be true,
consumed in fast and prayer with you;
our spirits strengthen with your grace,
and give us joy to see your face. Topics: Christian Year Baptism of Jesus; Christian Year Transfiguration; Grace; Jesus Christ Life Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS, HERR
