Break Forth, O Living Light of God

Author: Frank von Christierson Hymnal: The Worshipbook #316 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Break forth, O living light of God, Upon the world's dark hour! Show us the way the Master trod; Reveal his saving power. 2 Remove the veil of ancient words, With message long obscure; Restore to us your truth, O God, And make its meaning sure. 3 Show us the prophets and the priests, The kings, the common men, Who kept the faith and walked with you; O make them live again! 4 O let your Word be light anew To every nation's life; Unite us in your will, O Lord, And end all sinful strife. 5 O may one Lord, one faith, one Word, One Spirit lead us still; And one great church go forth in might To work God's perfect will. Amen.
