Brightness of God, that breaks our night and fills the darkened souls with light, who long for truth were pining! Newly, truly God's word feeds us, rightly leads us, life bestowing. Praise, O praise such love o'erflowing! 2 All praise to him who came to save, who conquered death and scorned the grave; each day new praise resoundeth to him, the life who once was slain, the friend whom none shall trust in vain, whose grace for aye aboundeth; sing then, ring then, tell the story of his glory, till his praises flood with light earth's darkest mazes!

Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth

Author: Jean de Santeul, 1630-1697; Isaac Williams, 1802-1865 Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: Proper 5 Year C Lyrics: 1 Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth, who choosest for thine the meek and the poor; to frail earthen vessels, and things of no worth, entrusting thy riches which ay shall endure; 2 Those vessels soon fail, though full of thy light, and at thy decree are broken and gone; thence brightly appeareth thy truth in its might, as through the clouds riven the lightnings have shone. 3 Like clouds are they borne to do thy great will, and swift as the winds about the world go: the Word with his wisdom their spirits doth fill; they thunder, they lighten, the waters o'erflow. 4 Their sound goeth forth, 'Christ Jesus the Lord!' then Satan doth fear, his citadels fall; as when the dread trumpets went forth at thy word, and one long blast shattered the Canaanite's wall. 5 O loud be their trump, and stirring their sound, to rouse us, O Lord, from slumber of sin: the lights thou hast kindled in darkness around, O may they awaken our spirits within. 6 All honour and praise, dominion and might, to God, Three in One, eternally be, who round us hath shed his own marvellous light, and called us from darkness his glory to see. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:27 Used With Tune: OLD 104TH

Wait for the time, so shall this night soon end in joyous day, soon end in joyous day. 3 Even though you do not rule, yet heaven and earth and hell proclaim God sits upon the throne, and rules o'er all things well, and rules o'er all things well. 4 Your everlasting truth, O God, your ceaseless love, sees all your children's wants, and knows what best for each will prove, what best for each will prove.

Hail, in the time appointed, God's reign on earth begun! Christ comes to break oppression, to set the captive free; to take away transgression, and rule in equity. 2 Christ comes with justice surely to those who suffer wrong, to help the poor and needy, and bid the weak be strong, to give them songs for sighing, their darkness turn to light, whose souls, condemned and dying, are precious in his sight. 3 Christ shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth, and love, joy, hope, like flowers, spring in his path to birth. Before him on the mountains shall peace, the herald, go, and righteousness in fountains from hill to valley flow. 4 To him shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend, his kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never his covenant remove. His name shall stand for ever: that name to us is Love. Used With Tune: CRÜGER
