Author: John F. Wood Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16624 Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: O Thou, in power and majesty transcending Lyrics:
1 O Thou, in power and majesty transcending,
Ruling forever from Thy throne above,
May Thy blest Spirit, on our souls descending,
Fill every heart with firm, abiding love.
2 At early morn, when roseate tints are spreading,
Athwart the broad immensity of sky,
May we arise with gladness to adore Thee,
Great God our Father, friend and king on high.
3 As beacon light, on some bold headland shining,
Its warning gives, to shun the treacherous shore,
So may Thy Word, our pathway clear definining,
Guide us thro’ danger safely evermore.
4 And when for us shall end life’s passing story—
This fleeting dream by death be chased away—
Oh! take us, Lord, to reign with Thee in glory,
Where night and gloom dissolve in perfect day.
