Author: Sir Edward Denny Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #232 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Light of the lonely pilgrim's heart,
Star of the coming day,
Arise, and with thy morning beams
Chase all our griefs away.
2 Come, blessed Lord, bid ev'ry shore
And answ'ring island sing
The praises of thy royal Name,
And own thee as their King.
3 Bid the whole earth, responsive now
To the bright world above,
Break forth in rapturous strains of joy
In mem'ry of thy love.
4 Lord, Lord, thy fair creation groans,
The air, the earth, the sea,
In unison with all our hearts,
And calls aloud for thee.
5 Come, then, with all thy quick'ning pow'r,
With one awak'ning smile,
And bid the serpent's trail no more
Thy beauteous realms defile.
6 Thine was the cross, with all its fruits
Of grace and peace Divine:
Be thine the crown of glory now,
The palms of vict'ry thine.
Amen. Topics: Blessed Hope; Christ, The Lord Jesus; Christ Lord; Christ Second Coming and Judgment of; Gospel Triumph of; Longing for Christ and God Scripture: Romans 8:19-22 Languages: English Tune Title: EAGLEY
