O Word of God Incarnate
Author: William Walsham How Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 490 hymnals Scripture: John 1:1-14 Lyrics: 1 O Word of God incarnate,
O Wisdom from on high,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
O Light of our dark sky:
we praise you for the radiance
that from the Scripture's page,
a lantern to our footsteps,
shines on from age to age.
2 The church from you, dear Master,
received this gift divine;
and still that light is lifted
o'er all the earth to shine.
It is the chart and compass
that all life's voyage through,
mid mists and rocks and quicksands,
still guides, O Christ, to you.
3 O make your church, dear Savior,
a lamp of burnished gold
to bear before the nations
your true light as of old.
O teach your traveling pilgrims
by this their path to trace
till, clouds and darkness ended,
we see you face to face.

That brightens up the sky. (Refrain)

The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden:
He made them, every one. (Refrain)

And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well. (Refrain)

And shall exalt forever.

glad when thy gracious smile we see,
blest when our faith can hold thee fast.

make all our moments calm and bright;
chase the dark night of sin away,
shed o'er the world thy holy light.

Thou Whose Almighty Word
Author: John Marriott Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 449 hymnals Scripture: John 1:1-14 Lyrics: 1 Thou whose almighty word
Chaos and darkness heard
And took their flight,
Hear us, we humbly pray,
And where the Gospel day
Sheds not its glorious ray,
Let there be light!
2 Thou who didst come to bring,
On Thy redeeming wing,
Healing and sight,
Health to the sick in mind,
Sight to the inly blind:
Oh, now to all mankind
Let there be light!
3 Spirit of Truth and Love,
Life-giving, holy Dove,
Speed forth Thy flight;
Move on the water's face,
Bearing the lamp of grace,
And in earth's darkest place
Let there be light!
4 Holy and blessed Three,
Glorious Trinity,
Wisdom, Love, Might!
Boundless as ocean's tide,
Rolling in fullest pride,
Thro' the earth, far and wide,
Let there be light!
Amen.

announces that the Lord is nigh:
awake and listen for he brings
glad tidings of the King of kings.
2 Let every heart be cleansed from sin,
make straight the way for God within,
and so prepare to be the home
where such a mighty guest may come.
3 For you are our salvation, Lord,
our refuge and our great reward;
without your grace we waste away
like flowers that wither and decay.
4 To heal the sick, stretch out your hand,
and make the fallen sinner stand;
shine out, and let your light restore
earth's own true loveliness once more.
5 To you, O Christ, all praises be,
whose advent set your people free;
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Spirit evermore! Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS

God Has Spoken by His Prophets
Author: George W. Briggs, 1875-1959 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 53 hymnals Scripture: John 1:1-14 Lyrics: 1 God has spoken by His prophets,
Spoken His unchanging Word;
Each from age to age proclaiming
God the one, the righteous Lord.
In the world's despair and turmoil
One firm anchor holds us fast:
God is king, His throne eternal;
God the first, and God the last.
2 God has spoken by Christ Jesus,
Christ, the everlasting Son,
Brightness of the Father's glory,
With the Father ever one;
Spoken by the Word Incarnate,
God of God, before time was;
Light of Light, to earth descending,
He reveals our God to us.
3 God is speaking by His Spirit,
Speaking to our hearts again,
In the ageless Word declaring
His own message, now as then.
Through the rise and fall of nations
One sure faith yet standing fast;
God abides, His Word unchanging;
God the first, and God the last.
