Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751; William Cameron, 1751-1811 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 66 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 Lyrics: 1 Father of peace, and God of love,
we own your power to save -
that power by which our Shepherd rose
victorious o’er the grave.

when, by his sacred blood,
confirmed and sealed for evermore
the eternal covenant stood.
3 O may your Spirit seal our souls,
and mould them to your will,
that our weak hearts no more may stray,
but keep your precepts still;
4 that to perfection's sacred height
we nearer still may rise,
and all we think, and all we do,
be pleasing in your eyes.

all that I've done wrong today.
Make me ever more like you,
good and gentle, kind and true.

safe with you eternally.
O bring me and all I love
to your happy home above.

you once died that I might live.
All your precious gifts are free—
oh, how good you are to me!

you will love me to the end.
Let me love you more and more,
always better than before. Topics: Evening Used With Tune: MÜDE BIN ICH

"The world's true Light"
Author: William W. How Appears in 64 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:5 First Line: O One with God the Father Lyrics: 1 O one with God the Father
In majesty and might,
The brightness of his glory,
Eternal Light of light;
O'er this our home of darkness
Thy rays are streaming now;
The shadows flee before thee,
The world's true Light art thou.
2 Yet, Lord, we see but darkly:--
O heavenly Light, arise,
Dispel these mists that shroud us,
And hide thee from our eyes!
We long to track the footprints
That thou thyself hast trod;
We long to see the pathway
That leads to thee our God.
3 O Jesus, shine around us
With radiance of thy grace;
O Jesus, turn upon us
The brightness of thy face.
We need no star to guide us,
As on our way we press,
If thou thy light vouchsafest,
O Sun of righteousness!

Then with what joy His dear face I shall see,
O how I praise Him-—He’s coming for me!
