Eternal Beam of Light Divine
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 96 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 49:25 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Beam of light divine,
Fountain of unexhausted love,
in whom the Father’s glories shine,
through earth beneath, and heav'n above:
2 Jesus, the weary wand'rer’s rest,
give me thine easy yoke to bear,
with steadfast patience arm my breast,
with spotless love and holy fear.
3 Thankful, I take the cup from thee,
prepared and mingled by thy skill,
though bitter to the taste it be,
pow'rful the wounded soul to heal.
4 Be thou, O Rock of ages, nigh;
so shall each murm'ring thought be gone,
and grief and fear and care shall fly,
ss clouds before the mid-day sun.
5 Speak to my warring passions, “Peace”'
day to my wounded heart, “Be still!”
Thy power my strength and fortress is,
and all things serve thy sovereign will.
6 O death, where is thy sting? Where now
thy boasted victory, O grave?
Who shall contend with God? or who
can hurt whom God delights to save?

O Christ, Our True and Only Light
Author: Johann Heermann, 1585-1647; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 96 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 49:6 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only light,
enlighten those who sit in night;
let those afar now hear your voice
and in your fold with us rejoice.
2 Fill with the radiance of your grace
the souls now lost in error's maze;
enlighten those whose inmost minds
some dark delusion haunts and blinds.
3 O gently call those gone astray
that they may find the saving way;
let ev'ry conscience sore oppressed
in you find peace and heav'nly rest.
4 Shine on the darkened and the cold,
recall the wand'rers to your fold;
unite all those who walk apart,
confirm the weak and doubting heart,
5 That they with us may evermore
such grace with wond'ring thanks adore
and endless praise to you be giv'n
by all your Church in earth and heav'n. Topics: Missions Used With Tune: O JESU CHRISTE, WAHRES LICHT

God Is Working His Purpose Out
Author: A. C. Ainger Meter: Irregular Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 49:1 Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out
as year succeeds to year:
God is working his purpose out,
and the time is drawing near;
nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
2 From utmost east to utmost west,
where human foot hath trod,
by the mouth of many messengers
goes forth the voice of God:
"Give ear to me, ye continents,
ye isles, give ear to me,"
that the earth may filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
3 March we forth in the strength of God,
with the banner of Christ unfurled,
that the light of the glorious gospel of truth
may shine throughout the world;
fight we the fight with sorrow and sin
to set their captives free,
that earth may filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
4 All we can do is nothing worth
unless God blessed the deed;
vainly we hope for the harvest-tide
till God gives life to the seed;
yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.

Zion klagt mit Angst und Schmerzen
Author: Johann Heermann Appears in 66 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 49:14-16 Lyrics: 1 Zion klagt mit Angst und Schmerzen,
Zion, Gottes werthe Stadt,
die Er trägt in seinem Herzen,
die Er Ihm erwählet hat:
ach! spricht sie, wie hat mein Gott
mich verlassen in der Noth,
und läßt mich so harte pressen,
meiner hat Er ganz vergessen.
2 Der Gott, der mir hat versprochen
seinen Beistand jederzeit,
der läßt sich vergebens suchen
jetzt in meiner Traurigkeit.
Ach, will Er denn für und für
grausam zürnen über mir?
kann und will Er sich der Armen
jetzt nicht, wie vorhin, erbarmen?
3 Zion, o du Vielgeliebte,
sprach zu ihr des Herren Mund:
zwar du bist jetzt die Betrübte,
Seel und geist ist dir verwund't?
doch stell alles Trauren ein,
wo mag eine Mutter sein,
die ihr eigen Kind kann hassen
und aus ihre Sorgen lassen.
4 Ja, wenn man auch solte finden
einen solchen Mutter-Sinn,
da die Liebe kann verschwinden:
so bleib ich doch, der ich bin;
meine Treu' bleibt gegen dir,
Zion, o du meine Zier,
du hast mir mein Herz besessen:
deiner kann ich nicht vergessen.
5 Laß dich nicht den Satan blenden,
der sonst nichts als schrecken kann;
siehe, hier in meinen Händen
hab ich dich geschrieben an;
wie mag es denn anders sein?
ich muß ja gedenken dein,
deine Mauren will ich bauen
und dich fort und fort anschauen.
6 Du bist mir stets für den Augen,
du liegst mir in meine Schooß,
wie die Kindlein, die noch saugen,
meine Treu zu dir ist groß;
mich und dich soll keine Zeit,
keine Noth, Gefahr und Streit,
ja der Satan selbst nicht scheiden,
bleib getreu in allen Leiden. Topics: Gesänge vom Worte Gottes und der chirstlichen Kirche; Songs from the Word of God and the Christian Church

Salvation, Righteousness and Strength
Author: Watts Appears in 59 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 49:6 First Line: The Lord on high proclaims Lyrics: 1 The Lord on high proclaims
His Godhead from his throne:
"Mercy and justice are the names
By which I will be known.

In darkness and distress,
Look from the borders of the pit
To my recov'ring grace."

Their thankful tongues shall own,
Our righteousness and strength is found
In thee, O Lord, alone.
4 In thee shall Isr'el trust,
And see their guilt forgiv'n;
God will pronounce the sinners just,
And take the saints to heav'n.

He will Hide Me
Author: M. E. Servoss Appears in 58 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 49:2 First Line: When the storms of life are raging Lyrics: 1 When the storms of life are raging,
Tempests wild on sea and land,
I will seek a place of refuge
In the shadow of God’s hand.
Chorus:
He will hide me, He will hide me,
Where no harm can e’er betide me;
He will hide me, safely hide me
In the shadow of His hand.
2 Though He may send some affliction,
’Twill but make me long for home;
For in love and not in anger,
All His chastenings will come. [Chorus]
3 Enemies may strive to injure,
Satan all his arts employ;
He will turn what seems to harm me
Into everlasting joy. [Chorus]
4 So, while here the cross I’m bearing,
Meeting storms and billows wild,
Jesus for my soul is caring,
Naught can harm His Father’s child. [Chorusn]
