Eternal Light! Eternal Light

Author: Thomas Binney (1798-1874) Appears in 93 hymnals Topics: The life of holiness Challenge Lyrics: 1 Eternal Light! Eternal Light! How pure the soul must be, When, placed within thy searching sight, It shrinks not, but with calm delight, Can live and look on thee. 2 The spirits that surround thy throne May bear the burning bliss; But that is surely theirs alone, Since they have never, never known A fallen world like this. 3 O how shall I, whose native sphere Is dark, whose mind is dim, Before the ineffable appear, And on my naked spirit bear The uncreated beam? 4 There is a way for man to rise To that sublime abode; An offering and a sacrifice, A Holy Spirit’s energies, An advocate with God. 5 These, these prepare us for the sight Of holiness above; The sons of ignorance and night May dwell in the eternal light, Through the eternal love.

From every stain made clean

Author: Herbert Howard Booth (1892-1926) Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The life of holiness Challenge Lyrics: 1 From every stain made clean, From every sin set free; O blessèd Lord, this is the gift That thou hast promised me. And pressing through the past Of failure, fault and fear, Before thy cross my soul I cast, And dare to leave it there. 2 From thee I would not hide My sin, because of fear What men may think; I hate my pride, And as I am appear, Just as I am, O Lord, Not what I’m thought to be, Just as I am, a struggling soul For life and liberty. 3 While in thy light I stand, My heart, I seem to see, Has failed to take from thy own hand The gifts it offers me. O Lord, thy plenteous grace, Thy wisdom and thy power, I here proclaim, before thy face, Can keep me every hour. 4 Upon the altar here I lay my treasure down; I only want to have thee near, King of my heart to crown. The fire doth surely burn My every selfish claim; And while from them to thee I turn, I trust in thy great name. 5 A heart by blood made clean In every wish and thought, A heart that by God’s power has been Into subjection brought, To walk, to weep, to sing, Within the light of Heaven; This is the blessing, Saviour-King, That thou to me hast given.

I want a principle within

Give thyself to me, give thyself to me, That I may show forth thy power; Give thyself to me. 3 Only as I truly know thee Can I make thee truly known; Only bring the power to others Which in my own life is shown. Show thy power in me, show thy power in me, That I may be used for others; Show thy power in me.
