Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #288 (2008) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Matthew 4:16 Lyrics: 1 Creator of the stars of night,
your people's everlasting light,
O Christ, redeemer of us all,
we pray you, hear us when we call.
2 When earth drew on to darkest night,
you came, but not in splendour bright,
not as a king, but as the child
of Mary, Virgin mother mild.
3 At your great name, majestic now,
all knees must bend, all hearts must bow:
all things on earth with one accord
join those in heaven to call you Lord.
4 To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, Three in One,
praise, honour, might, and glory be
from age to age eternally. Amen. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Promise of the Messiah; Mary Languages: English Tune Title: CONDITOR ALME
