Eternal Light! Eternal Light!

Author: Thomas Binney Hymnal: RITL1985 #41 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Scripture: Exodus 33:20 Lyrics: 1 Eternal light! Eternal light! How pure that soul must be, when, placed within thy searching sight, it shrinks not, but with calm delight can live and look on thee. 2 The spirits that surround thy throne may bear the burning bliss; but that is surely theirs alone, since they have never, never known a fallen world like this. 3 O how shall I, whose native sphere is dark, whose mind is dim, before th'ineffable appear, and on my naked spirit bear the uncreated beam? 4 There is a way for us to rise to that sublime abode, an off'ring and a sacrifice, a Holy Spirit's energies, an Advocate with God. 5 These, these prepare us for the sight of holiness above; the heirs of ignorance and night may dwell in the eternal light, through the eternal Love!

Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow

Author: B. S.

All, all thine own: soul, heart, and strength and mind; I see the cross--there teach my heart to cling; O let me seek thee and O let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh; teach me the struggles of the soul to bear; to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love: one holy passion filling all my frame, the baptism of the heav'n-descended Dove: my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.

Immortal Love, Forever Full

Author: J. G. Whittier Hymnal: RITL1985 #254 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Deuteronomy 30:11 Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love, forever full, forever flowing free, forever shared, forever whole, a never ebbing sea. 2 Our outward lips confess the name all other names above; love only knoweth whence it came, and comprehendeth love. 3 We may not climb the heav'nly steeps to bring the Lord Christ down; in vain we search the lowest deeps, for him no depths can drown. 4 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet a present help is he; and faith has still its Olivet, and love its Galilee. 5 The healing of his seamless dress is by our beds of pain; we touch him in life's throng and press, and we are whole again. 6 Alone, O love ineffable, thy saving name is given; to turn aside from thee is hell; to walk with thee is heaven.
