Light

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CLXXXII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Light of those whose dreary dwelling Lyrics: 1 Light of those whose dreary dwelling Borders on the shades of death, Come! and thy dear self revealing, Dissipate the clouds beneath: The new heaven's and earth's creator, In our deepest darkness rise! Scattering all the night of nature, Pouring eye-sight on our eyes! 2 Still we wait for thine appearing, Life and joy thy beams impart; Chasing all our fears, and chearing Every poor benighted heart: Come and manifest the favor Thou hast for the ransom'd race: Come, thou dear exalted savior, Come, and bring thy 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, Every burden'd soul release; By the influence of thy spirit, Guide us into perfect peace.

And can these perish'd bones revive. That mighty God, to thee is known; That wondrous work is all thy own. 3 Thy ministers are sent in vain To prophesy upon the slain; In vain they call, in vain they cry, 'Till thine almighty aid is nigh. 4 But if thy spirit deign to breathe, Life spreads thro' all the realms of death: Dry bones obey thy powerful voice; They move, they waken, they rejoice, 5 So when thy trumpet's awful sound Shall shake the Heav'ns and rend the ground Dead saints shall from their tombs arise, And spring to life beyond the skies.

Is not thy pardon rich and free, Seal'd in the kind atoning flood? 2 Who then shall drive my trembling soul From thee to regions of despair? Who has survey'd the sacred roll, And found my name not written there? 3 Presumptuous thought! to fix the bound, To limit mercy's sovereign reign: What other happy souls have found, I'll seek, nor shall I seek in vain. 4 I own my guilt, my sins confess; Can men or devils make them more? Of Crimes already numberless, Vain the attempt to swell the score. 5 Were the black list before my sight, While I remember thou hast dy'd, 'Twould only urge my speedier flight, To seek salvation at thy side. 6 Low at thy feet I'll cast me down, To thee reveal my guilt and fear; And—if thou spurn me from thy throne— I'll be the first who perish'd there.
