Author: Johann Rist; Miss Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ Sun Lyrics: 1 Rise, O Salem, rise and shine; Lo, the Gentiles hail thy waking: Herald of a morn divine, See the Dayspring o’er us breaking, Telling God hath called to mind Those who long in darkness pined. 2 O how blindly did we stray, Ere this Sun our earth had brightened; Heaven we sought not, for no ray Had our wildered eyes enlightened: All our looks were earthward bent, All our strength on earth was spent. 3 But the Dayspring from on high Hath arisen with beams unclouded, And we see before Him fly All the heavy gloom that shrouded This sad earth, where sin and woe Seemed to reign o’er all below. 4 Thine appearing, Lord, shall fill All my thoughts in sorrow’s hour; Thine appearing, Lord, shall still All my dread of death’s dark power; Whether joys or tears be mine, Through them still Thy light shall shine. 5 Let me, when my course is run, Calmly leave a world of sadness For the place that needs no sun,-- For Thou art its light and gladness,-- For the mansions fair and bright, Where Thy saints are crowned with light. Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-6 Used With Tune: JESUS ALLT MITT GODA ÄR

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 559 hymnals Topics: Sun Of Righteousness Lyrics: 1 My God, the spring of all my joys, The life of my delights, The glory of my brightest days, And comfort of my nights! 2 In darkest shades, if Thou appear, My dawning is begun; Thou art my soul's bright morning star, And Thou my rising sun. 3 The opening heavens around me shine, With beams of sacred bliss, If Jesus shows His mercy mine, And whispers I am His. 4 My soul would leave this heavy clay At that transporting word; Run up with joy the shining way, To see and praise my Lord. 5 Fearless of hell and ghastly death, I'd break through every foe; The wings of love, and arms of faith, Would bear me conqueror through.

One sweetly solemn thought

Author: Phoebe Cary, 1824-1871 Appears in 706 hymnals Topics: Christ Sun of Righteousness Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er I am nearer home today Than I ever have been before. 2 Nearer my Father's house, Where the many mansions be; Nearer the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea; 3 Nearer the bound of life Where we lay our burdens down; Nearer leaving the cross, Nearer gaining the crown. 4 But lying darkly between, Winding down through the night, Is the deep and unknown stream To be crossed ere we reach the light. 5. Jesu, perfect my trust, Strengthen the grasp of my faith: Let me feel Thee near when I stand On the edge of the shore of death; 6 Feel Thee near when my feet Are slipping over the brink; For it may be I'm nearer home, Nearer now than I think. Amen. Used With Tune: JACOBS' CHANT

Great God, attend, while Zion sings

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 359 hymnals Topics: Sun God, our Lyrics: 1 Great God, attend, while Zion sings The joy that from Thy presence springs; To spend one day with Thee on earth Exceeds a thousand days of mirth. 2 Might I enjoy the meanest place Within Thine house, O God of grace, Not tents of ease, nor thrones of power, Should tempt my feet to leave Thy door. 3 God is our sun, He makes our day; God is our shield, He guards our way From all the assaults of hell and sin, From foes without and foes within. 4 All needful grace will God bestow, And crown that grace with glory too; He gives us all things, and withholds No real good from upright souls. 5 O God our King, whose sovereign sway The glorious hosts of heaven obey, And devils at Thy presence flee, Blest is the man that trusts in Thee.

Christ on the Cross

Author: Richard Lee Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Christ Sun First Line: When I view my Saviour bleeding Lyrics: 1 When I view my Saviour bleeding, For my sins, upon the tree; Oh, how wondrous!--how exceeding Great his love appears to me! Floods of deep distress and anguish, To impede his labors, came; Yet they all could not extinguish Love's eternal, burning flame. 2 Now redemption is completed, Full salvation is procured; Death and Satan are defeated, By the sufferings he endured. Now the gracious Mediator Risen to the courts of bliss, Claims for me, a sinful creature, Pardon, righteousness, and peace! 3 Sure such infinite affection Lays the highest claims to mine; All my powers, without exception, Should in fervent praises join. Jesus, fit me for thy service; Form me for thyself alone; I am thy most costly purchase,-- Take possession of thine own. Scripture: Numbers 21:8 Used With Tune: AUSTRIA

Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face

Author: Dr. H. Bonar, 1808-1889 Appears in 316 hymnals Topics: Sun Of Righteousness Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face; Here would I touch and handle things unseen, Here grasp with firmer hand the eternal grace, And all my weariness upon Thee lean. 2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God, Here drink with Thee the royal wine of heaven; Here would I lay aside each earthly load, Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. 3 This is the hour of banquet and of song; This is the heavenly table spread for me; Here let me feast, and feasting still prolong The brief bright hour of fellowship with Thee. 4 Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear; The feast, though not the love, is past and gone; The bread and wine remove, but Thou art here, Nearer than ever; still my Shield and Sun. 5 I have no help but Thine; nor do I need Another arm save Thine to lean upon; It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed; My strength is in Thy might, Thy might alone.

Come, O Thou Traveller unknown

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 289 hymnals Topics: Sun Of Righteousness Lyrics: 1 Come, O Thou Traveller unknown, Whom still I hold, but cannot see! My company before is gone, And I am left alone with Thee; With Thee all night I mean to stay, And wrestle till the break of day. 2 I need not tell Thee who I am, My misery and sin declare; Thyself hast called me by my name, Look on Thy hands, and read it there; But who, I ask Thee, who art Thou? Tell me Thy name, and tell me now. 3 In vain Thou strugglest to get free, I never will unloose my hold! Art Thou the man that died for me? The secret of Thy love unfold; Wrestling, I will not let Thee go, Till I Thy name, Thy nature know. 4 Wilt Thou not yet to me reveal Thy new, unutterable name? Tell me, I still beseech Thee, tell; To know it now resolved I am; Wrestling, I will not let Thee go, Till I Thy name, Thy nature know. 5 'Tis Love! 'tis Love! Thou diest for me! I hear Thy whisper in my heart; The morning breaks, the shadows flee, Pure, universal love Thou art: To me, to all, Thy mercies move, Thy nature and Thy name is Love. Used With Tune: CAREY'S
