Author: John S B Monsell, 1811-1875 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #254 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Light of the world, we hail Thee, Flushing the eastern skies; Never shall darkness veil Thee Again from human eyes; Too long, alas, withholden, Now spread from shore to shore; Thy light, so glad and golden, Shall set on earth no more. 2 Light of the world, Thy beauty Steals into every heart, And glorifies with duty Life's poorest, humblest part; Thou robest in Thy splendor The simplest ways of men, And helpest them to render Light back to Thee again. 3 Light of the world, illumine This darkened earth of Thine, Till everything that's human Be filled with what's divine; Till every tongue and nation, From sin's dominion free, Rise in the new creation Which springs from love and Thee.

Light of the World, We Hail Thee

Author: John S. B. Monsell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3762 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1. Light of the world, we hail Thee, flushing the eastern skies; Never shall darkness veil Thee again from human eyes; Too long, alas, withholden, now spread from shore to shore; Thy light, so glad and golden, shall set on earth no more. 2. Light of the world, Thy beauty teals into every heart, And glorifies with duty life’s poorest, humblest, part; Thou robest in Thy splendor the simple ways of men, And helpest them to render light back to Thee again. 3. Light of the world, before Thee our spirits prostrate fall; We worship, we adore Thee, Thou Light, the Life of all; With Thee is no forgetting of all Thine hand hath made; Thy rising hath no setting, Thy sunshine hath no shade. 4. Light of the world, illumine this darkened earth of Thine, Till everything that’s human be filled with what’s divine; Till every tongue and nation, from sin’s dominion free, Rise in the new creation which springs from love and Thee.
