Hark! the voice eternal
Author: J. Julian Meter: 6.5 Appears in 25 hymnals First Line: Hark! the voice eternal Refrain First Line: High in regal glory Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice eternal,
Robed in majesty,
Calling into being
Earth and sea and sky;
Hark! in countless numbers
All the angel-throng
Hail creation's morning
With one burst of song.
High in regal glory,
'Mid eternal light,
Reign, O King immortal,
Holy, infinite.
2 Bright the world and glorious,
Calm both earth and sea,
Noble in its grandeur
Stood man's purity;
Came the great transgression,
Came the saddening fall,
Death and desolation
Breathing over all.
Still in regal glory,
'Mid eternal light,
Reigned the King immortal,
Holy, infinite.
3 Long the nations waited,
Through the troubled night,
Looking, longing, yearning,
For the promised light.
Prophets saw the morning
Breaking far away,
Minstrels sang the splendor
Of that opening day.
Whilst in regal glory,
'Mid eternal light,
Reigned the King immortal,
Holy, infinite.
4 Brightly dawned the Advent
Of the new-born King,
Joyously the watchers
Heard the angels sing.
Sadly closed the evening
Of His hallowed life,
As the noontide darkness
Veiled the last dread strife.
Lo! again in glory,
'Mid eternal light,
Reigns the King immortal,
Holy, infinite.
5 Lo! again He cometh,
Robed in clouds of light,
As the Judge eternal,
Armed with power and might.
Nations to His footstool
Gathered then shall be;
Earth shall yield her treasures,
And her dead, the sea.
Till the trumpet soundeth,
'Mid eternal light,
Reign, Thou King immortal,
Holy, infinite.
6 Jesu! Lord and Master,
Prophet, Priest and King,
To Thy feet, triumphant,
Hallowed praise we bring.
Thine the pain and weeping,
Thine the victory;
Power, and praise, and honor,
Be, O Lord, to Thee.
High in regal glory,
'Mid eternal light,
Reign, O King immortal,
Holy, infinite.
Amen.
Used With Tune: [Hark! the voice eternal]
Hark! the voice eternal
Hear us, Thou that broodest
Author: Rev. G. Thring Meter: 6.5 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hear us, Thou that broodest
O'er the watery deep,
Waking all creation
From its primal sleep;
Holy Spirit breathing
Breath of life divine,
Breathe into our spirits,
Blending them with Thine.
Light and life immortal!
Hear us as we raise
Hearts, as well as voices,
Mingling prayer and praise.
2 When the sun ariseth
In a cloudless sky,
May we feel Thy presence,
Holy Spirit, nigh;
Shed Thy radiance o'er us,
Keep it cloudless still,
Through the day before us,
Perfecting Thy will.
Light and life immortal!
Hear us as we raise
Hearts, as well as voices,
Mingling prayer and praise.
3 When the fight is fiercest
In the noontide heat,
Bear us, Holy Spirit,
To our Saviour's feet;
There to find a refuge
Till our work is done,
There to fight the battle,
Till the battle's won.
Light and life immortal!
Hear us as we raise
Hearts, as well as voices,
Mingling prayer and praise.
4 If the day be falling
Sadly as it goes,
Slowly in its sadness
Sinking to its close,
May Thy love in mercy,
Kindling, ere it die,
Cast a ray of glory
O'er our evening sky.
Light and life immortal!
Hear us as we raise
Hearts, as well as voices,
Mingling prayer and praise.
5 Morning, noon, and evening,
Whenso'er it be,
Grant us, gracious Spirit,
Quickening life in Thee:
Life that gives us, living,
Life of heavenly love,
Life, that brings us, dying,
Life from heaven above.
Light and life immortal!
Hear us as we raise
Hearts, as well as voices,
Mingling prayer and praise.
Amen.
