Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Our Great Redeemer's Praise #173 (2022) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 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 heav'n and earth's Creator,
in our deepest darkness rise,
scatt'ring all the night of nature,
pouring eye-sight on our eyes.
2 Still we wait for Thy appearing,
life and joy Thy beams impart,
chasing all our fears, and hearing
ev'ry poor benighted heart.
Come, and manifest the favor
God hath for our ransom'd race,
come, Thou universal Savior,
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 thine all-sufficient merit
ev'ry burden'd soul release,
ev'ry weary wand'ring spirit,
guide into Thy perfect peace. Topics: Jesus, Conceived and Born Advent; Epiphany Scripture: Isaiah 9:1-7 Languages: English Tune Title: BEACH SPRING
