Behold, The World's Redeeming Light
Author: Arthur T. Russell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9620 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Behold the world’s redeeming light Lyrics: 1 Behold the world’s redeeming light
Bursts on th’enraptured sages’ sight!
Children of faith they rise―they find
The hope and Savior of mankind.
2 They bless the meek and lowly Child,
Th’incarnate Lord, the Monarch mild;
And at His feet their treasures pour,
And with their hearts their king adore.
3 O heavenly Lord! O heavenly light!
Star of expiring nature’s night!
What wonders in Thy love we trace!
What power divine! what glorious grace!
4 Hail Star of Bethlehem! Morning Star!
Arise again and shine afar,
Till every tribe―till every land
Raise unto Thee the suppliant hand. Languages: English Tune Title: HESPERUS
Behold, The World's Redeeming Light
Bright King Of Glory
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9660 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Bright King of glory, dreadful God! Lyrics: 1 Bright King of glory, dreadful God!
Our spirits bow before Thy seat,
To Thee we lift a humble thought,
And worship at Thine awful feet.
2 Thy power hath formed, Thy wisdom sways,
All nature with a sovereign word;
And the bright world of stars obeys
The will of their superior Lord.
3 Mercy and truth unite in one,
And smiling sit at Thy right hand;
Eternal justice guards Thy throne,
And vengeance waits Thy dread command.
4 A thousand seraphs, strong and bright,
Stand round the glorious Deity;
But who amongst the sons of light
Pretends comparison with Thee?
5 Yet there is one of human frame,
Jesus, arrayed in flesh and blood,
Thinks it no robbery to claim
A full equality with God.
6 Their glory shines with equal beams,
Their essence is for ever one,
Though they are known by different names,
The Father God, and God the Son.
7 Then let the name of Christ our king
With equal honors be adored;
His praise let every angel sing,
And all the nations own their Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: HESPERUS
Bright King Of Glory
If Solomon For Wisdom Prayed
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10725 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 If Solomon for wisdom prayed,
The Lord before had made him wise;
Else he another choice had made,
And asked for what the worldlings prize.
2 Thus He invites his people still,
He first instructs them how to choose;
Then bids them ask whate’er they will,
Assured that He will not refuse.
3 Our wishes would our ruin prove,
Could we our wretched choice obtain;
Before we feel the Savior’s love,
Kindle our love to Him again.
4 But when our hearts perceive His worth,
Desires, till then unknown, take place;
Our spirits cleave no more to earth,
But pant for holiness and grace.
5 And dost Thou say, "Ask what Thou wilt?"
Lord, I would seize the golden hour;
I pray to be released from guilt,
And freed from sin and Satan’s power.
6 More of Thy presence, Lord, impart,
More of Thine image let me bear;
Erect thy throne within my heart,
And reign without a rival there.
7 Give me to read my pardon sealed,
And from Thy joy to draw my strength;
To have Thy boundless love revealed
In all its height, and breadth, and length.
8 Grant these requests, I ask no more
But to Thy care the rest resign;
Sick or in health, or rich or poor,
All shall be well if Thou art mine.

Let The Seventh Angel Sound On High
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10959 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Let the seventh angel sound on high,
Let shouts be heard through all the sky;
Kings of the earth, with glad accord,
Give up your kingdoms to the Lord.
2 Almighty God, Thy power assume,
Who wast, and art, and art to come:
Jesus, the Lamb who once was slain,
Forever live, forever reign!
3 The angry nations fret and roar,
That they can slay the saints no more
On wings of vengeance flies our God,
To pay the long arrears of blood.
4 Now must the rising dead appear;
Now the decisive sentence hear;
Now the dear martyrs of the Lord
Receive an infinite reward. Languages: English Tune Title: HESPERUS
Let The Seventh Angel Sound On High
Not To Ourselves
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11760 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Not to ourselves, who are but dust Lyrics: 1 Not to ourselves, who are but dust,
Not to ourselves is glory due,
Eternal God, Thou only just,
Thou only gracious, wise and true.
2 Shine forth in all Thy dreadful name;
Why should a heathen’s haughty tongue
Insult us, and, to raise our shame,
Say, Where’s the God you’ve served so long?
3 The God we serve maintains His throne
Above the clouds, above the skies;
Through all the earth His will is done;
He knows our groans, He hears our cries.
4 But the vain idols they adore
Are senseless shapes of stone and wood;
At best a mass of glittering ore,
A silver saint or golden god.
5 With eyes and ears they carve their head;
Deaf are their ears, their eyes are blind;
In vain are costly offerings made,
And vows are scattered in the wind.
6 Their feet were never made to move,
Nor hands to save when mortals pray;
Mortals that pay them fear or love
Seem to be blind and deaf as they.
7 O Israel! make the Lord thy hope,
Thy help, thy refuge, and thy rest;
The Lord shall build thy ruins up,
And bless the people and the priest.
8 The dead can no more speak Thy praise,
They dwell in silence and the grave;
But we shall live to sing Thy grace,
And tell the world Thy power to save. Languages: English Tune Title: HESPERUS

His Own Received Him Not
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12749 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Surely, if such a thing could be Lyrics: 1 Surely, if such a thing could be,
The best of sunlight fell on Thee;
The softest of the stars of night
Shed down on Thee its sweetest light.
2 Surely, if such a thing could be,
Noon kept its gentlest rays for Thee;
The lightest of the winds of morn
Across Thy weary brow was borne.
3 The freshest dew that eve ere shed
Fell in its coolness on Thy head;
The fairest of the flowers that bloom
Reserved for Thee their rich perfume.
4 Yet tho’ this earth which Thou hast made
Its best for Thee might hourly spread,
And tho’, if such a thing might be,
The best of sunlight fell on Thee,
5 Man had no love to give Thee here,
No words of peace, no look of cheer;
No tenderness his heart could move,
He gave Thee hatred for Thy love.
6 Thy best of love to him was giv’n,
The freest, truest grace of Heav’n;
His worst of hatred fell on Thee,
His worst of scorn and enmity.
7 Life, as its gift for him, Thy love
Brought in its fullness from above;
Death, of all deaths the sharpest, he
In his deep hate prepared for Thee.
8 O love and hate! thus face to face
Ye meet in this strange meeting place!
O sin and grace, O death and life,
Who, who shall conquer in this strife?
9 "Father, forgive," is love’s lone cry,
While hatred’s crowd shouts, "Crucify!"
How deeply man his God doth hate,
God’s love to man how true and great!
10 Love bows the head in dying woe,
And hatred seems to triumph now;
Life into death is fading fast,
And death seems conqueror at last.
11 But night is herald of the day,
And hate’s dark triumph but makes way
For love’s eternal victory,
When life shall live, and death shall die. Languages: English Tune Title: HESPERUS

When Jordan Hushed His Waters Still
Author: Thomas Campbell, 1777-1844 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13079 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: When Jordan hushed his wters still Lyrics: 1 When Jordan hushed his waters still,
And silence slept on Zion’s hill;
When Salem’s shepherds through the night
Watched o’er their flocks by starry light;
2 Hark! from the midnight hills around,
A voice, of more than mortal sound,
In distant hallelujahs stole,
Wild murmuring o’er the raptured soul.
3 Then swift to every startled eye,
New streams of glory gild the sky;
Heaven bursts her azure gates, to pour
Her spirits to the midnight hour.
4 On wheels of light, on wings of flame,
The glorious hosts to Zion came;
High Heaven with songs of triumph rung,
While thus they smote their harps and sung:
5 O Zion! lift thy raptured eye,
The long expected hour is nigh;
The joy of nature rise again,
The Prince of Salem comes to reign!
6 See Mercy, from her golden urn,
Pours a rich stream to those that mourn;
Behold, she binds with tender care,
The bleeding bosom of despair.
7 He comes to cheer the trembling heart,
Bids Satan and his host depart;
Again the day-star gilds the gloom,
Again the bowers of Eden bloom! Languages: English Tune Title: HESPERUS

De Quien Pagó Mi Redención
Author: Anónimo Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13668 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: De quien pagó mi redencíon Lyrics: 1 De quien pagó mi redencíon,
Podría siempre yo cantar,
Y con mi voz y corazón
Su nombre siempre alabar.
2 Por fe en él el pecador
Encuentra vida y perdón,
Y goza en su Redentor,
De Dios el inefable don.
3 Por redimirnos él sufrió
Amargas penas y dolor,
Y por la muerte demostró
La plenitud de su amor.
4 Oh Salvador, a ti mi voz
Levantaré con gratitud:
A ti, mi Redentor y Dios,
Autor de vida y salud. Languages: Spanish Tune Title: HESPERUS
De Quien Pagó Mi Redención
Come, Humble Saints, And Place Your Trust
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15756 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Come, humble souls, and place your trust Lyrics: 1 Come, humble souls, and place your trust
In God, the faithful, wise and just;
His promises will He fulfil,
To all who love and do His will.
2 When wrath o’erwhelms a guilty land,
His cov’nant truth shall firmly stand,
A sure retreat, a strong defense,
Nor shall you e’er be riven thence.
3 You, He’ll in perfect safety keep,
Amongst the number of His sheep;
Or if in public griefs you share,
His hand will still the faithful spare. Tune Title: HESPERUS
Come, Humble Saints, And Place Your Trust
His Flock The Heav'nly Shepherd Feeds
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16039 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: His flock the heav’nly Shepherd feeds Lyrics: 1 His flock the heav’nly Shepherd feeds,
By purling streams in flowery meads;
He guards them both by night and day,
And guides them lest they go astray.
2 Or if by Satan’s wiles misled,
They in forbidden paths should tread,
He timely warns them of their sin,
And turns their wandering feet again.
3 In danger He is always nigh,
No evil can escape His eye;
He calls His sheep, He knows their names,
And gently leads the tender lambs.
4 Beneath the shadow of a rock,
From scorching suns He screens His flock;
And should the prowling wolf appear,
They still are safe, for Christ is there. Languages: English Tune Title: HESPERUS
