Oh Realm of Light
Author: Emily H. Miller Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Oh realm of light! whose morning star Lyrics: 1. Oh realm of light! whose morning star
To Bethlehem’s manger led the way,
Not yet upon our longing eyes
Shines the full splendor of thy day:
Yet still across the centuries fall,
Both strong and sweet, our Lord’s command;
And still with steadfast faith we cry,
Behold, the kingdom is at hand!
2. Oh realm of Heav’n! whose dawn began
With love’s divine, incarnate breath,
Our hearts were slow to understand
The lessons of that life and death:
Yet though with stammering tongues we tell
Redemption’s story, strange and sweet,
The world’s Redeemer, lifted up
Shall draw the nations to His feet.
3. Oh realm of peace! whose music clear
Swept through Judea’s starlit skies,
Still the harsh sounds of human strife
Break on thy heavenly harmonies;
Yet shall thy song of triumph ring
In full accord, from land to land,
And men with angels learn to sing,
Behold, the kingdom is at hand! Used With Tune: CREATION

The Church above forever rings
Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Church above forever rings
With praises of the King of kings;
Forever there, on harps divine,
Thy hymn th' eternal One in Trine;
We here below the strain prolong,
And faintly echo Zion's song.
2 O Lord of Lords invisible!
With Thy pure light this temple fill,
And hither, when invoked, descend;
Here to Thy people's prayer attend:
Here, in their hearts forevermore,
The Spirit's quick'ning graces pour.
3 Here may the faithful, day by day,
In humble adoration pray;
And here receive from Thy dear love
The blessings of that home above,
Till, loosened from this mortal chain,
Its everlasting joys they gain. Topics: The Church Year Church Dedication Used With Tune: CREATION Text Sources: Breviary

Lord In The Unbeginning Years
Author: John Bowring Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Lord! in the unbeginning years Lyrics: 1 Lord! in the unbeginning years,
Whose course is wrapped in trackless night,
Ere Thou hadst launched the heavenly spheres,
Or waked this wandering world to light;
What were Thy words, Thy works, and how
Didst Thou Thy glorious march record?
For Thou wert great and good, as now,
Of love the source, of light the Lord.
2 And in the unending ages, far
Beyond the utmost reach of mind,
When all that is, and all that are,
Shall leave not e’en a wreck behind:
Oh! what shall be Thy bright career,
Lord of the eternal, changeless will?
Thou will be there supreme, as here—
All wise, all good, almighty still!
3 Yes! shrouded in the mystery,
The past, the future’s dark abyss,
Bright clouds of splendor circle Thee,
And light Thy path from bliss to bliss.
This is our faith, our hope, our trust,
Through thought’s immeasurable range,
Time is a dream, and man is dust—
But Thou—but Thou canst never change!
