Author: Sir Edward Denny, Bart., 1796-1889 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #273a (1917) Topics: Cross And Crown Lyrics: 1 Light of the lonely pilgrim's heart,
Star of the coming day,
Arise, and with Thy morning beams
Chase all our griefs away!
2 Come, blessed Lord, let every shore
And answering island sing
The praises of Thy royal name,
And own Thee as their King.
3 Bid the whole earth, responsive now
To the bright world above,
Break forth in sweetest strains of joy,
In memory of Thy love.
4 Jesus, Thy fair creation groans,
The air, the earth, the sea,
In unison with human hearts,
And calls aloud for Thee.
5 Thine was the cross, with all its fruits
Of grace and peace divine;
Be Thine the crown of glory now,
The palm of victory Thine! Languages: English Tune Title: NOX PRAECESSIT
