Author: John Buttress Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #186 (1886) Hymnal Title: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book Lyrics: 1 Hail, sacred truth! whose piercing rays
Dispel the shades of night,
Diffusing o'er a ruined world
The healing beams of light.
2 Jesus, thy word, with friendly aid,
Restores our wandering feet;
Converts the sorrows of the mind
To joys divinely sweet.
3 O send thy light and truth abroad,
In all their radiant blaze;
And bid the admiring world adore
The glories of thy grace. Topics: Worship Holy Scriptures Tune Title: MAITLAND
