O Light that knew no dawn
Author: Gregory Nazianzen, 325-390; John Brownlie, 1859-1925 Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #23 (1961) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Light that knew no dawn,
That shines to endless day,
All things in earth and heav'n
Are lustred by thy ray;
No eye can to thy throne ascend,
Nor mind thy brightness comprehend.
2 Thy grace, O Father, give,
That I may serve in fear;
Above all boons, I pray,
Grant me thy voice to hear;
From sin thy child in mercy free,
And let me dwell in light with thee:
3 That, cleansed from stain of sin,
I may meet homage give,
And, pure in heart, behold
Thy beauty while I live;
Clean hands in holy worship raise,
And thee, O Christ my Saviour, praise.
4 In supplication meek
To thee I bend the knee;
O Christ, when thou shalt come,
In love remember me,
And in thy kingdom, by thy grace,
Grant me a humble servant's place.
5 Thy grace, O Father, give,
I humbly thee implore;
And let thy mercy bless
Thy servant more and more.
All grace and glory be to thee,
From age to age eternally.

O Light that knew no dawn
Lord, Bring the Day to Pass
Author: Ian Fraser Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #24 (1985) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, bring the day to pass
when forest, rock and hill,
the beasts, the birds, the grass
will know your finished will:
when we attain our destiny,
and nature its lost unity.
2 Forgive our careless use
of water, ore, and soil--
the plenty we abuse,
supplied by others' toil:
save us from making self our creed:
turn us towards each other's need.
3 Give us, when we release
creation's secret powers,
to harness them for peace,
our children's peace and ours:
teach us the art of mastering
which makes life rich and draws death's sting.
4 Creation groans, travails;
futile its present plight,
bound till the hour it hails
the newfound heirs of light
who enter on their true estate.
Come, Lord! new heav'ns and earth create! Topics: In The Beginning The Earth is the Lord's Scripture: Isaiah 65:17 Languages: English Tune Title: CAMANO

Borne on the wings of light
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns from the Morningland #26 (1911) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics:
I
Borne on the wings of light,
Behold the Lord ascend,
Up to the portals bright
Where heavenly powers attend,
And fling the gates of glory wide,
While praises rise like flowing tide.
II
Back to the Father’s bliss
From war and strife below,
From toil and loneliness
’Mid scenes of sin and woe;—
Loud plaudits hail the Victor now,
Who comes with triumph on His brow.
III
Lord, in the peace of heaven,
Far from our toil and pain,
Think of the promise given,
And come to us again;—
Remember, Thou, the toilsome road,
That brought Thee to Thy blest abode.
IV
And see the toils we bear,
And hear the prayers we send;
In answer to our prayers,
Our needy souls befriend;—
We need not languish in the night,
Though heaven receive Thee from our sight.
V
O Promised Spirit, come,
And fill the empty place,
Till in our heavenly home
We look upon His face,
Who fought with us in earthly strife,
And won for us immortal life.

Jehovah is my light
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P27d (2004) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Jehovah is my light,
and my salvation he,
who then shall me affright?
The Lord is unto me
my life's sure stronghold, ever near,
of whom then shall I stand in fear?
2 When wicked men, my foes
an adversaries all,
to eat my flesh arose,
they stumbled and did fall.
Though hosts surround, I will not quail,
in this I trust, though war assail.
3 For one thing did I pray,
this I'll seek to obtain,
that all my life I may
in the Lord's house remain;
Jehovah's beauty to admire,
and in his temple to inquire.
4 Within his tent he will
me hide in evil days,
me in his tent conceal,
and on a rock me raise.
And now my hear shall lifted be
above my foes that compass me.
5 Into his courts with joy
I'll sacrifices bring;
songs shall my lips employ,
praise to the Lord I'll sing.
Lord, hear me when I cry to thee;
on me have mercy, answer me.
6 Thou saidst, Seek ye my face;
then did my heart reply,
In thine abundant grace,
thy face, Lord, seek will I.
In wrath hide not thy face from me,
nor put thy servant far from thee.
7 My help of old art thou,
to thee I me betake;
O God, my Saviour, now
leave me not, nor forsake.
When father, mother, both me leave,
the Lord himself will me receive.
8 Teach me, O Lord, thy way;
me in a plain path guide,
for foes my steps survey:
me give not to their pride:
for false accusers 'gainst me rise,
and such as breathe out cruelties.
9 I fainted had unless
I had believed to see
the Lord's own graciousness
'mong them that living be.
Wait on the Lord; be strong of heart;
yea, wait, and he shall strength impart.
