Author: John Julian Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #71 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Scripture: Psalm 43:3 Lyrics: 1 O God of God! O Light of light!
Thou Prince of Peace, Thou King of kings,
To Thee, where angels know no night,
The song of praise forever rings:
To Him who sits upon the throne,
The Lamb once slain for sinful men,
Be honor, might, all by Him won;
Glory and praise! Amen, Amen!
2 Deep in the prophets' sacred page,
Grand in the poets' winged word,
Slowly in type, from age to age,
Nations beheld their coming Lord;
Till through the deep Judean night
Rang out the song, "Good will to men!"
Hymned by the first-born sons of light,
Re-echoed now, "Good will!" Amen!
3 Nations afar, in ignorance deep;
Isles of the sea where darkness lay;
These hear Thy voice, they wake from sleep,
And throng with joy the upward way.
They cry with us, "Send forth Thy light,
O Lamb, once slain for sinful men;
Burst Satan's bonds, O God of might;
Set all men free! Amen, Amen!"
4 Sing to the Lord a glorious song,
Sing to His Name, His love forthtell;
Sing on, heaven's host, His praise prolong;
Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell:
"Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain;
From angels, praise; and thanks from men;
Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign,
Glory and power! Amen, Amen!"
Amen.
