O God of God! O Light of light!

Author: John Julian Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of God! O Light of light! Thou Prince of Peace, Thou King of kings, To Thee, where angels know no night The song of praise forever rings: To Him Who sits upon the throne, The Lamb once slain for sinful men, Be honor, might; all by Him won; Glory and praise! Amen, Amen. 2 Deep in the prophets' sacred page, Grand in the poets' wingèd word, Slowly in type, from age to age, Nations beheld their coming Lord; Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song, "Good-will to men!" Hymned by the first-born sons of light, Re-echoed now, "Good-will!" Amen. 3 That life of truth, those deeds of love, That death of pain, 'mid hate and scorn; These all are past, and now above, He reigns our King! once crowned with thorn. Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates; So sang His hosts, unheard by men; Lift up your heads, for you He waits. We lift them up! Amen, Amen! 4 Nations afar, in ignorance deep; Isles of the sea, where darkness lay; These hear His voice, they wake from sleep, And throng with joy the upward way. They cry with us, "Send forth Thy light," O Lamb, once slain for sinful men; Burst Satan's bonds, O God of might; Set all men free! Amen, Amen! 5 Sing to the Lord a glorious song, Sing to His Name, His love forth tell; Sing on, heaven's hosts, His praise prolong; Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell; Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain; From angels, praise; and thanks from men; Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign, Glory and power! Amen, Amen! Topics: The Church Missions; The Church Missions; Angels; Missions Used With Tune: [O God of God! O Light of light!]

The radiant morn hath passed away

Author: G. Thring Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 156 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The radiant morn hath passed away, And spent too soon her golden store; The shadows of departing day Creep on once more. 2 Our life is but an autumn day, Its glorious noon how quickly past! Lead us, O Christ, Thou living way, Safe home at last. 3 O by Thy soul-inspiring grace Uplift our hearts to realms on high; Help us to look to that bright place Beyond the sky, 4 Where light and life and joy and peace In undivided empire reign, And thronging angels never cease Their deathless strain; 5 Where saints are clothed in spotless white, And evening shadows never fall, Where Thou, eternal Light of light, Art Lord of all.

Wilt Thou not, my Shepherd true

Author: J. Scheffler Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wilt Thou not, my Shepherd true, Spare Thy sheep, in mercy spare me? Wilt Thou not, as shepherds do, In Thine arms rejoicing bear me; Bear me where all troubles cease, Home to folds of joy and peace? 2 With thy flock I long to be, With the flock to whom 'tis given Safe to feed, and, praising Thee, Roam the happy plains of heaven: Free from fear of sinful stain, They can never stray again. 3 Lord! I here am sore beset, Fears at every step confound me; Lo! my foes have spread their net, And with craft and might surround me; Such their snares on every side, Safe Thy sheep can ne'er abide. 4 See, on earth's wide desert way How my truant steps mislead me; Bring me back, no more to stray, In Thine own green pastures feed me. Gather me within the fold, Where Thy lambs Thy light behold.

What our Father does is well

Author: B. Schmolk Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What our Father does is well: Blessed truth! His children tell! Though He send, for plenty, want, Though the harvest store be scant, Yet we rest upon His love, Seeking better things above. 2 What our Father does is well: Shall the willful heart rebel, If a blessing He withhold In the field, or in the fold? Is He not Himself to be All our store eternally? 3 What our Father does is well: Though He sadden hill and dell, Upward yet our praises rise For the strength His word supplies, He has called us sons of God; Can we murmur at His rod? 4 What our Father does is well: May the thought within us dwell; Though nor milk nor honey flow In our barren Canaan now, God can save us in our need, God can bless us, God can feed. 5 Therefore unto Him we raise Hymns of glory, songs of praise; To the Father and the Son, And the Spirit, Three in One, Honor, might, and glory be, Now and through eternity.

We all believe in one true God

Luther Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We all believe in one true God, Maker of all earth and heaven; The Father, who to us in love Hath the right of children given; He both soul and body feedeth, All we want He doth provide us; He through snares and perils leadeth, Watching that no harm betide us; He cares for us by day and night, All things are governed by His might. 2 And we believe in Jesus Christ, His own Son, our Lord, possessing An equal Godhead, throne and might, Through whom comes the Father's blessing; Of the Holy Spirit conceivéd, Born of Mary, virgin-mother, That lost man might life inherit, Made true Man, our Elder Brother, Was crucified by sinful men, And raised by God to life again. 3 Also the Holy Ghost we own, Who sweet grace and comfort giveth, And with the Father and the Son In eternal glory liveth; Who the Christian church doth even Keep in unity of spirit; Sins are truly here forgiven Through the blest Redeemer's merit: All flesh shall rise again, and we Shall live with God eternally.
