Victorious rapture
Morning
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Laudes Domini #10 (1888) Topics: Christ Sun First Line: Christ, whose glory fills the skies Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the only light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise,
Triumph o'er the shades of night;
Day-spring from on high, be near,
Day-star in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn,
If thy light is hid from me;
Joyless is the day's return,
Till thy mercy's beams I see;
Till they inward light impart,
Warmth and gladness to my heart.
3 Visit, then, this soul of mine,
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, radiant Sun divine!
Scatter all my unbelief;
More and more thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day. Scripture: Malachi 4:2 Languages: English Tune Title: HALLE

O Very God of Very God
Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #11 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Names and Office of Christ Sun Lyrics: 1 O very God of very God,
And very Light of Light,
Whose feet this earth's dark valley trod,
That so it might be bright!
2 Our hopes are weak, our fears are strong,
Thick darkness binds our eyes;
Cold is the night, and O we long
For Thee, our Sun, to rise!
3 And even now, though dull and gray,
The east is brightening fast,
And kindling to the perfect day
That never shall be past.
4 O guide us till our path be done,
And we have reached the shore
Where Thou, our everlasting Sun,
Art shining evermore!
5 We wait in faith, and turn our face
To where the daylight springs,
Till Thou shalt come our gloom to chase,
With healing on Thy wings.
Amen.
Scripture: Malachi 4:2 Languages: English Tune Title: NOTTINGHAM (ST. MAGNUS)
O Very God of Very God
Rise, O Salem, Rise and Shine
Author: Johann Rist; Miss Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #68 (1926) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: Names and Office of Christ Sun Lyrics: 1 Rise, O Salem, rise and shine;
Lo, the Gentiles hail thy waking:
Herald of a morn divine,
See the Dayspring o’er us breaking,
Telling God hath called to mind
Those who long in darkness pined.
2 O how blindly did we stray,
Ere this Sun our earth had brightened;
Heaven we sought not, for no ray
Had our wildered eyes enlightened:
All our looks were earthward bent,
All our strength on earth was spent.
3 But the Dayspring from on high
Hath arisen with beams unclouded,
And we see before Him fly
All the heavy gloom that shrouded
This sad earth, where sin and woe
Seemed to reign o’er all below.
4 Thine appearing, Lord, shall fill
All my thoughts in sorrow’s hour;
Thine appearing, Lord, shall still
All my dread of death’s dark power;
Whether joys or tears be mine,
Through them still Thy light shall shine.
5 Let me, when my course is run,
Calmly leave a world of sadness
For the place that needs no sun,--
For Thou art its light and gladness,--
For the mansions fair and bright,
Where Thy saints are crowned with light.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-6 Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS ALLT MITT GODA ÄR

My heart doth sing for joy:
And sing I must, for Christ is mine--
Christ shall my song employ.

My Prophet full of light;
My great High Priest before the throne;
My King of heavenly might.
3 For He indeed is Lord of lords,
And He the King of kings;
He is the Sun of Righteousness,
With healing in His wings.
4 Christ is my Peace: He died for me,
For me He gave His blood;
And, as my wondrous sacrifice,
Offered Himself to God.
5 Christ Jesus is my All in All,
My comfort and my love;
My life below, and He shall be
My joy and crown above.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: SAVERY

The Love that Clothes Itself in Light
Author: Alan Gaunt Hymnal: Voices United #137 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sun Lyrics: 1 The Love that clothes itself in light,
stands naked now, despised, betrayed,
receiving blows to face and head
from hands that Love itself has made.
2 The Love that lifts the stars and sun,
collapses, spent, beneath the cross;
the Love that fills the universe,
goes on to death and total loss.
3 Love, helpless, comes to Calvary,
rejected, scorned and crucified;
Love hangs in shame, and dies alone,
but Love abased, is glorified.
4 Extinguished with the sun at noon,
Love's light transcends all history;
Love, wrapped in linen, Love entombed,
still wraps all heaven in mystery.
5 Though Love is lost, Love finds us here;
though Love is absent, Love remains;
where Love is finished, Love begins;
where Love is dead, Love lives and reigns! Languages: English Tune Title: APANÁS
The Love that Clothes Itself in Light
The Heavenly King Must Come
Author: Henry Arthur Martin Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #201 (1926) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Names and Office of Christ Sun First Line: The heav'nly King must come Lyrics: 1 The heav'nly King must come
His desert realm to see;
Must leave His own eternal home
And all His majesty.
2 And lo! before Him sent
His herald who must cry
And never spare, "Repent, repent!
Your King, your God, is nigh!"
3 He, when his work is done,
Must see his light decay,
Must hail with joy the brighter Sun,
The glorious King of day.
4 O Lord, O King, O Sun,
Whose messenger he came,
Baptize us all, most holy One,
In Thy refining flame.
5 Give us Thy grace, that we
All evil may forsake,
May boldly speak the truth for Thee,
The lowest place may take.
6 So, when Thou com'st again,
Thy realm redeemed to see,
Thy steps shall find 'mid hearts of men
A way made straight for Thee.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: FRANCONIA

How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of Thy love,
Thy earthly temples, are!
To Thine abode my heart aspires,
With warm desires to see my God.

Where God delights to hear!
O happy men that pay
Their constant service there!
They praise Thee still, and happy they
Who love the way to Zion's hill!

Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each o'ercomes at length,
Till each in heaven appears;
O glorious seat! Thou God, our King,
Shalt thither bring our willing feet.

Our light and our defence;
With gifts His hands are filled,
We draw our blessings thence;
He shall bestow upon our race
His saving grace, and glory too
5 The Lord His people loves;
His hand no good withholds
From those His heart approves,
From holy, humble souls;
Thrice happy he, O Lord of hosts,
Whose spirit trust alone in Thee!
