As stars adorn the night-veiled sky

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (b. 1944) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 5:16 Lyrics: 1 As stars adorn the night-veiled sky, arrayed like jewels rare and bright, so shine God's saints in every age to give the world new hop, new light. 2 The light saints bear is not their own but shines through them as gift and sign: to show how God can use and bless frail human means for ends divine. Through saints we glimpse the light of Christ, the Morning Star that crowns the night, whose rising heralds God's new day, the promised dawn of life and light. 4 That light is ours to claim and share, not merely praise or gaze upon: for all who are baptized become light-bearers through the Risen One. 5 The saints inspire and challenge us our holy calling to embrace: to bear Christ's light in our own day, to be the vessels of God's grace.

Our righteousness must far exceed

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 5:20-26 Lyrics: 1 Our righteousness must far exceed That of the Pharisees indeed; It must be of a diff'rent kind, Such as renews the heart and mind. 2 To sing and pray, and make a show, Is what the hypocrite can do; May seem to act the christian part, Yet not the cause of Christ at heart. 3 Where grace divine, reigns not within, The mind is still attach'd to sin; The best devotion, dead and cold, As was the Pharisees of old. 4 But diff'rent is the b'lievers state, He will not live at such a rate; His case unto himself is known, He pleads, no merits of his own. 5 He pleads not for self-righteousness, But all he pleads is pard'ning grade; All which he trusts he shall partake, And that alone for Jesus sake. 6 He gains that faith which works by love, And all within him live and move In Christ his Saviour, and his God, Who hath redeem'd him with his blood. 7 Here is the christian set to view: Lord grant that I may be such too; Grant me that righteousness I need, Which does the Pharisees exceed.

O God of Light, May Our Light Shine

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 5:13-16 Lyrics: O God of light, may our light shine In ways that serve and honor you. May we be loving, just and kind, Proclaiming Christ in all we do. God, where your people are oppressed And where they cry out in despair, Make us your light—to heal, to bless— A witness, Lord, that you are there. Christ, when your way is pushed aside By those who trust in wealth and might, Make us your lamps that we may guide A searching world to your love’s light. O Spirit, in this world of doubt, We often sin and drift away. When our own faith is flickering out, Shine on our path and light our way.
