Glory Be to God on High

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Glory be to God on high, And peace on earth descend; Now God comes down, He bows the sky, And shows Himself our friend! God the invisible appears, God the blest, the great I AM, He sojourns in this vale of tears, And Jesus is His name. 2. Him by the angels all adored, Their maker and their king; Lo, tidings of their humbled Lord They now to mortals bring; Emptied of His majesty, Of His dazzling glories shorn, Our being’s Source begins to be, And God Himself is born! 3. See the eternal Son of God A mortal Son of Man, Now dwelling in an earthly clod Whom Heaven cannot contain! Stand amazed, ye heavens, look at this! See the Lord of earth and skies Low humbled to the dust He is, And in a manger lies! 4. So do the sons of men rejoice The Prince of Peace proclaim, With Heaven’s host lift up our voice, And shout Immanuel’s name; Our knees and hearts to Him we bow; Of our flesh, and of our bone, See—Jesus is our brother now, And God is all our own!

A Light Came Out of Darkness

Author: William A. Hawley Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. A light came out of darkness; No light, no hope had we, Till Jesus came from Heaven Our light and hope to be. Oh, as I read the story From birth to dying cry, A longing fills my bosom To meet Him by and by. 2. How tender His compassion How loving was His call, How earnest His entreaty To sinners, one and all. He wooed, and won them to Him By love, and that is why I long to be like Jesus, And meet Him by and by. 3. Yet deeper do I ponder, His cross and sorrow see, And ever gaze and wonder Why Jesus died for me. And shall I fear to own Him? Can I my Lord deny? No! let me love Him, serve Him, And meet Him by and by. Used With Tune: EWING Text Sources: The Musical Salvationist, October 1901

While thus they sing your Monarch, Those bright angelic bands, Rejoice, ye vales and mountains; Ye oceans, clap your hands! 3 Since all He comes to ransom, By all be He adored, The Infant born in Bethl'hem, The Savior and the Lord! All idols forms shall perish, All error shall decay, And Christ shall wield His scepter, Our Lord and God for aye. Amen.

Sometimes a Light Surprises

Author: William Cowper Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 409 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises the Christian while he sings; it is the Lord, who rises with healing in his wings: when comforts are declining, he grants the soul again a season of clear shining, to cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation we sweetly then pursue the theme of God's salvation, and find it ever new; set free from present sorrow, we cheerfully can say, "Let the unknown tomorrow bring with it what it may." 3 It can bring with it nothing but he will bear us through; who gives the lilies clothing will clothe his people too: beneath the spreading heavens no creature but is fed; and he who feeds the ravens will give his children bread. 4 Though vine nor fig tree neither their wonted fruit shall bear, though all the field should wither, nor flocks nor herds be there; yet God the same abiding, his praise shall tune my voice, for, while in him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.

Awake, My Heart, And Marvel

Author: H. Brueckner; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, my heart, and marvel At nature's beauty fair; The woodlands and the meadows Are clad with blossoms rare; The earth is wrapt in sunlight, The birds with voices clear Extol their Maker's glory And fill the world with cheer. 2 Like waters undulating Our fields of grain are seen, And zephyrs bear sweet odors Like breaths from forests green. We hear the brances whisper Up in the linden tree, And now the woodbine arbor Love's home alone can be. 3 The early summer roses In rapture we behold, And ev'ry morn new flowers Their fragrant buds unfold. From heaven far above us Shines down the deepest blue, And from the earth below us Spring plants of verdant hue. 4 O heart of mine, throw open Thy windows wide and far, Lest from its deep recesses God's sun of love thou bar. He who suspends the rainbow Across the clouded sky Still with His hands sustains thee When storms are rising high. Topics: Praise Used With Tune: COMMIT THY WAY

Shine on Me, O Lord Jesus!

Author: Edward J. Bellerby Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Shine on me, O Lord Jesus Lyrics: 1. Shine on me, O Lord Jesus, And let me ever know The grace that shone from Calvary, Where Thou didst love me so. My child, I am thy Savior, ’Tis not what thou dost feel, But Mine own gracious promise Which does thy pardon seal. 2. Shine in me, O Lord Jesus, And let Thy searching light Reveal each hidden purpose, Each thought as in Thy sight. My child, I am thy Searcher, I try each loving heart, For I would have most holy All who in Me have part. 3. Shine through me then, Lord Jesus, That all the world may see The life I live is Thy life, And thus be drawn to Thee. My child, I am thy power; With those who hear My voice I ever dwell, and use them, Thus making them rejoice. 4. Shine out, shine out, Lord Jesus; Thou light of all the world; O let Thy Gospel banner Be everywhere unfurled. My child, hast thou forgotten That name is also thine? My fruit is borne on branches, Not by the parent vine. 5. Arise and shine, Lord Jesus, Thou Bright and Morning Star; I long for Thine appearing, When peace shall follow war. My child, before I gather My family in one, Its number needs completing; Towards thus, what hast thou done? 6. Alas, alas, Lord Jesus, My life has been but vain, How little satisfaction Have I brought for Thy pain! My child, I still desire thee; Go, spread the news afar; Then shalt thou shine in Heaven With glory like a star.
