O Christ, our true and only Light
Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Backsliding; Calling; Christ The Light; The Church The Kingdom of God; The Church Unity or Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light,
Illumine those who sit in night;
Let those afar now hear thy voice,
And in thy fold with us rejoice.
2 And all who else have strayed from thee,
O gently seek; thy healing be
To ev'ry wounded conscience giv'n;
And let them also share thy heav'n.
3 O make the deaf to hear thy Word;
And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord,
Who dare not yet the faith avow,
Though secretly they hold it now.
4 Shine on the darkened and the cold;
Recall the wand'rers from thy fold;
Unite those now who walk apart;
Confirm the weak and doubting heart.
5 So they with us may evermore
Such grace with wond'ring thanks adore,
And endless praise to thee be giv'n
By all the church in earth and heav'n.
Amen. Scripture: John 9:5 Used With Tune: BRESLAU

Wherefore Do the Nations Rage
Meter: 7.7.7.7 D with refrain Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Kingdom of Christ Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage
And the people vainly dream
That in triumph they can wage
War against the King supreme?
Christ His Son a scoff they make,
And the rulers plotting say:
Their dominion let us break,
Let us cast their yoke away,
Their dominion let us break,
Let us cast their yoke away.
2 But the Lord will scorn them all,
Calm He sits enthroned on high;
Soon His wrath will on them fall,
Sore displeased He will reply:
Yet according to My will
I have set My King to reign,
And on Zion's holy hill
My Anointed I maintain,
And on Zion's holy hill
My Anointed I maintain.
3 This His word shall be made known,
This Jehovah's firm decree:
Thou art My beloved Son,
Yea, I have begotten Thee.
All the earth at Thy request
I will give Thee for Thy own;
Then Thy might shall be confessed
And Thy foes be overthrown,
Then Thy might shall be confessed
And Thy foes be overthrown.
4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear;
Hearken, judges of the earth;
Learn to serve the Lord with fear,
Mingle trembling with your mirth.
Kiss the Son, lest o'er your way
His consuming wrath should break;
But supremely blest are they
Who in Christ their refuge take,
But supremely blest are they
Who in Christ their refuge take. Scripture: Psalm 2 Used With Tune: MENDELSSOHN
Wherefore Do the Nations Rage
O God, Be Thy Anointed Son
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Kingdom of Christ Lyrics: 1 O God, be Thy Anointed Son
With truth and righteousness endowed,
That justice may on earth be done,
The meek protected from the proud.
2 Then over mountain side and plain
Shall peace spring forth from righteousness;
The poor man's cause will He maintain,
And save the weak, that none oppress.
3 Then shall Thy fear on earth be known
Long as the sun and moon shall shine;
While endless generations run,
Kingdom and glory shall be Thine.
4 Like copious rain in time of dearth,
So shall His gracious coming be;
As gentle showers that cheer the earth,
So He shall bring prosperity.
5 The just shall flourish in His day,
And evermore shall peace extend;
From sea to sea shall be His sway,
And to the earth's remotest end.
6 The desert lands to Him shall bow,
And all the islands of the sea,
And kings with gifts shall pay their vow,
His enemies shall bend the knee.
7 In great compassion for the weak
He ever will maintain their right,
Will help the poor and save the meek;
Their lives are precious in His sight. Scripture: Psalm 72 Used With Tune: HURSLEY

Judge eternal, throned in splendor

Lord of lords and Kings of kings,
With Thy living fire of judgment
Purge this realm of bitter things:
Solace all its wide dominion
With the healing of Thy wings.
2 Still the weary folk are pining
For the hour that brings release;
And the city's crowded clangor
Cries aloud for sin to cease;
And the homesteads and the woodlands
Plead in silence for their peace.
3 Crown, O God, Thine own endeavor:
Cleave our darkness with Thy sword:
Feed the faint and hungry peoples
With the richness of Thy Word:
Cleanse the body of this nation
Through the glory of the Lord.
Amen. Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN

once for favored sinners slain;
thousand, thousand saints attending
swell the triumph of his train.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
God appears on earth to reign.
2. Every eye shall now behold him,
robed in dreadful majesty;
those who set at naught and sold him,
pierced and nailed him to the tree,
deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
shall the true Messiah see.
3. The dear tokens of his passion
still his dazzling body bears;
cause of endless exultation
to his ransomed worshipers;
with what rapture, with what rapture, with what rapture,
gaze we on those glorious scars!
4. Yea, Amen! Let all adore thee,
high on thy eternal throne;
Savior, take the power and glory,
claim the kingdom for thine own.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Everlasting God, come down!
