O God of God, O Light of Light

Author: J. Julian, 1839-1913 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of God, O Light of Light, Thou Prince of Peace, Thou King of kings! To Thee where angels know no night The song of praise forever rings. To Him who sits upon the throne, The Lamb once slain for sinful men, Be honor, might, all by Him won, Glory and praise! Amen, Amen. 2 Deep in the prophets' sacred page, Grand in the poets' winged word, Slowly, in type, from age to age, Nations beheld their coming Lord, Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song "Good will to men!" Hymned by the first-born sons of light, Reechoed now, "Good will!" Amen. 3 That life of truth, those deeds of love, That death of pain, mid hate and scorn-- These all are past, and now above He reigns, our King, once crowned with thorn. Lift up your heads, ye heav'nly gates! So sang His hosts, unheard by men, Lift up your heads, for you He waits. We lift them up. Amen, Amen. 4 Nations afar, in ign'rance deep, Isles of the sea, where darkness lay, These hear His voice, they wake from sleep, And throng with joy the upward way. They cry with us, "Send forth Thy light, O Lamb, once slain for sinful men! Burst Satan's bonds, O God of might; Set all men free!" Amen, Amen. 5 Sing to the Lord a glorious song; Sing to His name, His love forthtell! Sing on, heav'n's host, His praise prolong; Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell! Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain! From angels praise and thanks from men! Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign, Glory and pow'r! Amen, Amen.

O Spirit of the Living God

Author: Henry Hallam Tweedy Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals First Line: O Spirit of the living God, Thou light and fire divine Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God, thou light and fire divine, descend upon thy church once more, and make it truly thine. Fill it with love and joy and power, with righteousness and peace; till Christ shall dwell in human hearts, and sin and sorrow cease. 2 Blow, wind of God! With wisdom blow until our minds are free from mists of error, clouds of doubt, which blind our eyes to thee. Burn, winged fire! Inspire our lips with flaming love and zeal, to preach to all thy great good news, God's glorious commonweal. 3 Teach us to utter living words of truth which all may hear, the language all may understand when love speaks loud and clear; till every age and race and clime shall blend their creeds in one, and earth shall form one family by whom thy will is done. 4 So shall we know the power of Christ who came this world to save; so shall we rise with him to life which soars beyond the grave; and earth shall win true holiness, which makes thy children whole; till, perfected by thee, we reach creation's glorious goal!

Shall man, O God of light and life

Author: Timothy Dwight Appears in 114 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Shall man, O God of light and life, Forever moulder in the grave? Canst Thou forget Thy glorious work, Thy promise and Thy pow'r to save? 2 Shall life revisit dying worms, And spread the joyful insect's wing! And, oh! shall man awake no more To see Thy face, Thy name to sing? 3 Cease, cease, ye vain desponding fears! When Christ, our Lord, from darkness sprung, Death, the last foe, was captive led, And heav'n with praise and wonder rung. 4 Him, the First-Fruits, His chosen sons Shall follow from the vanquished grave; He mounts His throne, the King of kings, His Church to quicken and to save. 5 Faith sees the bright, eternal doors Unfold to make His children way; They shall be clothed with endless life, And shine in everlasting day. 6 The trump shall sound, the dust awake; And from the tomb the slumb'rers spring; Through heav'n the joyful myriads rise, And hail their Savior and their King.

O God of Light

Author: Arthur S. Booth-Clibborn Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: O God of light, O God of love Lyrics: 1. O God of light, O God of love, Shine on my soul from Heaven above! Let sin appear in Thy pure ray As black as on the judgment day; Let perfect love apply the test, And all that’s wrong make manifest. 2. O take Thy plummet and Thy line, Apply them to this heart of mine, And thus reveal each crooked place, By contrast with true righteousness! Let holy truth condemn each sham; Show what Thou art, and what I am. 3. O smite and spare not, faithful God! A Father’s hand still holds the rod; O make my sin-stained conscience smart, And write Thy law upon my heart So plainly, that my will shall bow In full surrender, here and now! 4. Work on in me Thy perfect will, In me Thy promise, Lord, fulfill; O make me quick to fight for Thee, And set my soul in liberty! My soul can rest in nothing less Than in a spotless holiness.
