Author: William Williams Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #505 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 O’er those gloomy hills of darkness,
Cheered by no celestial ray,
Sun of Righteousness, arising,
Bring the bright, the glorious day.
Let the morning
Of thy blessed Gospel dawn.
2 Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness,
Grant them ,Lord, the glorious light;
And from eastern coast to western
May the morning chase the night
And redemption,
Freely purchased, win the day!
3 Fly abroad, eternal Gospel;
Win and conquer, never cease.
May thy lasting wide dominions
Multiply and still increase;
May Thy scepter
Sway th'enlightened world around!
Amen. Topics: The Church Missions Scripture: Revelation 14:6 Languages: English Tune Title: GUIDE ME
