Light of those whose dreary dwelling

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 359 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of those whose dreary dwelling Borders on the shades of death, Come, and by Thy love's revealing Dissipate the clouds beneath: The new heaven and earth's Creator, In our deepest darkness rise, Scattering all the night of nature, Pouring eyesight on our eyes. 2 Still we wait for Thine appearing; Life and joy Thy beams impart, Chasing all our fears, and cheering Every poor benighted heart: Come, and manifest the favour God hath for our ransomed race; Come, thou universal Saviour, Come and bring the gospel grace. 3 Save us in Thy great compassion, O Thou mild, pacific Prince! Give the knowledge of salvation, Give the pardon of our sins: By Thy all-restoring merit Every burdened soul release; Every weary, wandering spirit Guide into Thy perfect peace.

Winter reigns o'er many a region

Author: Leonhard Meisser; Joseph Augustus Seiss Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Winter reigns o’er many a region, Many a seed-field fallow lies; When, O Lord, shall come the spring-time, With its quickening energies? When shall this long night be ended? When the morning dawn appear? When shall drought give place to freshness? When these deserts bloom with cheer? 2 Lord, Thy Church is ever praying: Now her anxious yearnings hear; Speed the triumphs of Thy Kingdom, Spread its victories far and near. Own the work, Thy grace attend it, Which we undertake for Thee; Let a holy love inflame us; Kindle zeal and fervency. 3 That Thy fields be rightly cultured, Send the laborers that we need, Men to light the heavy darkness, Sow the wastes with precious seed. Then send down the gentle showers, Make Thy gracious sunlight shine, That each field may joy with blessing, Bringing forth the fruits divine. 4 By the breezes of Thy Spirit, Fan all deadness into life; Bless the seeds to Thee upspringing, Keep each plant from blast and strife. And, ye toilers in this seeding, Know the promise God hath given: Glorious crowns await the faithful, And eternal gains in heaven. Amen. Topics: The Church Foreign Missions Used With Tune: BETHANY
