O God, Whose Healing Power
Light of the World, We Hail Thee
Author: John S. B. Monsell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 125 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of the world, we hail Thee,
Flushing the eastern skies;
Never shall darkness veil Thee
Again from human eyes;
Too long, alas, withholden,
Now spread from shore to shore;
Thy light, so glad and golden,
Shall set on earth no more.
2 Light of the world, Thy beauty
Steals into every heart,
And glorifies with duty
Life's poorest, humblest part;
Thou robest in Thy splendor
The simple ways of men,
And helpest them to render
Light back to Thee again.
3 Light of the world, before Thee
Our spirits prostrate fall;
We worship, we adore Thee,
Thou Light, the Life of all;
With Thee is no forgetting
Of all Thy hand hath made;
Thy rising hath no setting
Thy sunshine hath no shade.
4 Light of the world, illumine
This darkened earth of Thine,
Till everything that's human
Be filled with what's divine;
Till every tongue and nation,
From sin's dominion free,
Rise in the new creation
Which springs from love and Thee.
Amen. Topics: Christ Adoration and Praise; Christ Light; Missions; Peace on Earth; Jesus Christ Adoration and Praise Scripture: John 9:4-5 Used With Tune: SALVE DOMINE
Light of the World, We Hail Thee
O Father, all creating
Author: John Ellerton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics:
O Father, all creating,
Whose wisdom, love, and power
First bound two lives together
In Eden's primal hour,
Today to these thy children
Thine earliest gifts renew--
A home by thee made happy,
A love by thee kept true.
O Savior, Guest most bounteous
Of old in Galilee,
Vouchsafe today thy presence
With these who call on thee;
Their store of earthly gladness
Transform to heavenly wine,
And teach them, in the tasting,
To know the gift is thine.
O Spirit of the Father,
Breathe on them from above,
So mighty in thy pureness,
So tender in thy love;
That, guarded by thy presence,
From sin and strife kept free,
Their lives may own thy guidance,
Their hearts be ruled by thee.
348
Except thou build it, Father,
The house is built in vain;
Except thou, Savior, bless it,
The joy will turn to pain;
But naught can break the marriage
Of hearts in thee made one,
And love thy Spirit hallows
Is endless love begun.
Amen.

Bless Now, O God, the Journey
A Day, A Day of Glory!
Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: A day, a day of glory Lyrics: 1. A day, a day of glory!
A day that ends our woe!
A day that tells of triumph
Against our vanquished foe!
Yield, summer’s brightest sunrise,
To this December morn:
Lift up your gates, ye princes,
And let the child be born!
2. With Gloria in excelsis
Archangels tell their mirth:
With Kyrie elëyson
Men answer upon earth:
And angels swell the triumph,
And mortals raise the horn,
Lift up your gates, ye princes,
And let the Child be born.
3. He comes, His throne the manger;
He comes, His shrine the stall;
The ox and ass His courtiers,
Who made and governs all:
The House of Bread His birth-place,
The Prince of wine and corn:
Lift up your gates, ye princes,
And let the child be born.
4. Then bar the gates, that henceforth
None thus may passage win,
Because the Prince of Israel
Alone hath entered in:
The earth, the sky, the ocean
His glorious way adorn:
Lift up your gates, ye princes,
And let the child be born. Used With Tune: DAY OF GLORY
A Day, A Day of Glory!
Forward In His Name
Author: Salathial C. Kirk Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: The long roll-call is sounding Lyrics: 1 The long roll-call is sounding,
Let Israel awake!
And every heart responding,
New zeal and courage take.
With all upon the altar
And spirit all aglow,
We cannot stay nor falter
When duty bids us go.
2 We’ll find the way retarded
By lions in the path,
And every stronghold guarded
By mighty men of Gath.
But if these things affright us,
When shall the way be free?
When Satan shall invite us—
And that will never be.
3 If Christians did not weaken
When nearing Satan’s grounds,
His kingdom would be shaken
From center to its bounds.
Our weakness shall not matter,
Unless it comes of doubt;
One shall a thousand scatter
And two ten thousand rout.
4 The hour is here for moving,
Wait not the morrow’s sun;
The Church our faith is proving,
The victory must be won.
Then gird the armor, brother,
To loiter would be shame;
Press close to one another,
And forward in His name.

In heavenly love abiding
Author: Anna L. Waring Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 564 hymnals Lyrics:
In heavenly love abiding,
No change my heart shall fear,
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here.
The storm may roar without me,
My heart may low be laid;
But God is round about me,
And can I be dismayed?
206
Wherever He may guide me,
No want shall turn me back;
My Shepherd is beside me,
And nothing can I lack.
His wisdom ever waketh,
His sight is never dim;
He knows the way He taketh,
And I will walk with Him.
Green pastures are before me,
Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be o'er me,
Where the dark clouds have been.
My hope I cannot measure,
The path to life is free;
My Savior has my treasure,
And He will walk with me.

Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus, ca. 675-749; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 379 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness!
God has brought forth Israel
into joy from sadness,
loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke
Jacob’s sons and daughters;
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 ’Tis the spring of souls today:
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days’ sleep in death
as a sun has risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from the Light to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the tomb’s dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal,
hold you as a mortal:
but today, among your own,
you appear, bestowing
your deep peace, which evermore
passes human knowing.
4 Alleluia! Now we cry
to our Lord immortal,
who, triumphant, burst the bars
of the tomb’s dark portal;
Alleluia! With the Son,
God the Father praising;
Alleluia! Yet a gain
to the Spirit raising.
