From his throne his beams of glory Shine through all the world abroad. In his word his light arises, Brightest beams of truth and grace; Bind, oh, bind your sacrifice, In his courts your offerings place. 3 Jesus, thee our Saviour hailing, Thee our God in praise we own; Highest honors, never failing, Rise eternal round thy throne; Now, ye saints, his power confessing, In your grateful strains adore; For his mercy, never ceasing, Flows, and flows for evermore.

Author: Rev. Johannes Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 128 hymnals Topics: Advent Of Christ Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye My people, Speak ye peace, thus saith our God; Comfort those who sit in darkness, Mourning 'neath their sorrow's load. Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover, And her warfare now is over. 2 For the herald's voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance, Since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; Let the valleys rise to meet Him, And the hills bow down to greet Him. 3 Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain; Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign. For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad; And all flesh shall see the token, That His Word is never broken. Used With Tune: THIRSTING

Come, and bring the gospel grace. 5 Save us, in Thy great compassion, O Thou mild, pacific Prince! Give the knowledge of salvation, Give the pardon of our sins. 6 By Thine all-sufficient merit, Every burdened soul release: Every weary wandering spirit, Guide into Thy perfect peace. Amen.

How Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 497 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ, Our Lord Person of Christ; Advent Lyrics: 1 O Word of God incarnate, O Wisdom from on high, O Truth unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky: we praise Thee for the radiance that from the hallowed page, a lantern to our footsteps, shines on from age to age. 2 The church from Thee, our Savior, received the gift divine, and still that light she lifteth o'er all the earth to shine. It is the sacred vessel where gems of truth are stored; it is the heav'n-drawn picture of Christ, the living Word. 3 The Scripture is a banner before God's host unfurled; it is a shining beacon above the darkling world. It is the chart and compass that o'er life's surging tide, mid mists and rocks and quicksands, to Thee, O Christ, will guide. 4 O make Thy church, dear Savior, a lamp of purist gold, to bear before the nations Thy true light as of old. O teach Thy wandering pilgrims by this their path to trace, till, clouds and darkness ended, they see Thee face to face. Scripture: Luke 24:13-44 Used With Tune: MUNICH
