Let There Be Light, Lord God of Hosts

Author: William Merrell Vories Hymnal: The Worshipbook #451 (1972) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Let there be light, Lord God of Hosts, Let there be wisdom on the earth! Let broad humanity have birth! Let there be deeds instead of boasts! 2 Within our passioned hearts instill The calm that ends all strain and strife; Make us your ministers of life; Purge us from lusts that curse and kill! 3 Give us the peace of vision clear To see our brothers' good our own, To joy and suffer not alone— The love that casts away all fear! 4 Let woe and waste of warfare cease, That useful labor yet may build Its homes with love and laughter filled! God, give your wayward children peace! Amen.

LeCroy Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #766 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Word whom earth and sea and sky adore and laud and magnify, whose might they show, whose praise they tell, in Mary's body deigned to dwell. 2 To Mary the archangel came and God's new message did proclaim, 'Hail, Mary, you shall bear a son who shall be called the Holy One.' 3 Blest in the message Gabriel brought, blest in the work the Spirit wrought, most blest to bring to human birth the long-desired of all the earth. 4 Lord Jesus, virgin-born, to thee eternal praise and glory be, whom with the Father we adore and Holy Spirit evermore.

Go Labor On

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 Hymnal: Worship Supplement #775 (1969) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Go, labor on; spend and be spent Lyrics: 1 Go labor on; spend and be spent-- Your joy to do the Father's will; It is the way the Master went, Should not the servant tread it still? 2 Go labor on; 'tis not for naught; Your earthly loss is heavenly gain; Men heed you, love you, praise you not? The Master praises--what are men? 3 Go labor on, while it is day, The world's dark night is hastening on; Speed, speed your work, cast sloth away; It is not thus that souls are won. 4 Men die in darkness at your side, Without a hope to cheer the tomb; Take up the torch and wave it wide, The torch that lights time's thickest gloom. 5 Toil on, faint not, keep watch, and pray; Be wise the erring soul to win; Go forth into the world's highway, Compel the wanderer to come in. 6 Toil on, and in your toil rejoice; For toil comes rest, for exile home; Soon shall you hear the Bridegroom's voice, The midnight cry, "Behold, I come!"

God Of Eternal Majesty

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11112 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God of eternal majesty, High as Thou art, from Heaven look down, Holy, and just, we cry to Thee, Behold us from Thy glorious throne! 2 Where is Thy strength to conquer sin? Thy zeal to save a fallen race? Thy bowels sounding from within? Thy mercies, and Thy pardoning grace? 3 Thy pity, and paternal care, The tender yearnings of Thy heart, Are they restrained? Is fury there? Ah no! Thou still our Father art. 4 Doubtless Thou art our Father still, Though Abraham his seed disowns Debased by sin, though Israel Renounces his degenerate sons. 5 Our Lord, and our Redeemer now Thou art, and will be still the same, Our everlasting Father Thou; Jehovah is Thy glorious name. 6 Why then, O Lord, if ours Thou art, Why hast Thou suffered us to rove? Withdrawn Thy Spirit from our heart, And left us to our want of love? 7 Why hast Thou hid Thy lovely face, And caused us from Thy paths to err? Abandoned by restraining grace Our hearts were hardened from Thy fear. 8 Yet, Lord, for Thee again we mourn, Now let our prayers Thine aid engage, Now for Thy servant’s sake return, And cheer Thy drooping heritage. 9 The land we fondly deemed our own (Alas, how short a time enjoyed!) Our adversaries have o’erthrown, And trampled on the house of God. 10 Yet we are Thine, though dispossessed, And outcasts from the promised land, They never have Thy sway confessed, Or yielded to Thy just command. 11 We, we are called by Thy great name, Accept our plea, Thine ear incline, Thine, Lord, we are, renew Thy claim, Receive, and seal us ever Thine.
