O Splendor of God's Glory Bright

Author: Ambrose of Milan, 340-97 Hymnal: ELH1996 #81 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Splendor of God's glory bright, Who bringest forth the light from Light; O Light of light, light's Fountain-spring; O Day, our days enlightening. 2 Come, very Sun of truth and love, Come in Thy radiance from above And shed the Holy Spirit's ray On all we think or do today. 3 Likewise to Thee our prayers ascend, Father of glory without end, Father of saving grace, for pow'r To conquer in temptation's hour. 4 Teach us to work with all our might; Beat back the devil's threat'ning spite; Turn all to good that seems most ill; Help us our calling to fulfil. 5 Direct and govern heart and mind, With body chaste and disciplined; Let faith her eager fires renew And hate the false and love the true. 6 On Christ, the true Bread, let us feed, Let Him to us be drink indeed, And let us taste with joyfulness The Holy Spirit's plenteousness. 7 O joyful be the livelong day, Our thoughts as pure as morning ray, Our faith like noonday's glowing height, Our souls undimmed by shades of night. 8 The dawn begins to speed her way, Let the true Dawn Himself display, The Son with God the Father One, And God the Father in the Son. 9 All praise to God the Father be, All praise, eternal Son, to Thee, Whom with the Spirit we adore Forever and forevermore.

In faith, my soul, now lift your voice in singing To God, your gladness show, Your hearts with joy aglow And praises ringing. 2 Like countless grains of sand Beyond all measure, And wide as sea and land Is Heaven's treasure Of grace, which God anew each day will give us, For like a gentle rain, Our lives of sinful stain Each morning bathes us. 3 God has throughout the night My bed surrounded With angel hosts of light And pow'r unbounded; So I in calm did rest in peaceful slumber Until from deep repose The light again arose From darkness somber. 4 Lord, keep my soul today From sin and blindness; Surround me on my way With loving-kindness And fill my heart, O God, with joy from heaven; I then can ask no more. My future is secure, By Wisdom given. 5 Lord, You know best my needs, My pains You're sharing; Your Word and grace now feeds The lamb You're bearing. What more could I desire with You deciding The course which I now take? I follow in the wake Where You are guiding! Languages: English Tune Title: NU RINDER SOLEN OP

Grant that our whole behavior, In truth and righteousness, May praise Thee, Lord, our Saviour, Whose holy name we bless. 5 O gently grant Thy blessing, That we may do Thy will, No more Thy ways transgressing, Our proper task fulfil; With Peter's full assurance Let down our nets again. Success will crown endurance If faithful we remain. 6 With craftiness unceasing Strives Satan to restrain What in Thy sight is pleasing And for Thy Church is gain; Yet vain is his endeavor, For Thou, O Christ, our Lord, Dost rule all things forever By Thine Almighty Word. 7 Thou art the Vine; O nourish The branches graft in Thee, And let them grow and flourish, A fair and fruitful tree. Thy Spirit pour within us, And let His gifts of grace To such good actions win us As best may show Thy praise. Languages: English

Marvel now, O heav'n and earth, That the Lord chose such a birth. 2 Not by human flesh and blood By the Spirit of our God Was the Word of God made flesh-- Woman's Offspring, pure and fresh. 3 Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child Of the Virgin undefiled! Though by all the world disowned, Still to be in heav'n enthroned. 4 From the Father forth He came And returneth to the same, Captive leading death and hell-- High the song of triumph swell! 5 Thou the Father's only Son, Hast o'er sin the vict'ry won. Boundless shall Thy kingdom be; When shall we its glories see? 6 Brightly doth Thy manger shine, Glorious is its light divine. Let not sin o'ercloud this light; Ever be our faith thus bright. 7 Praise to God the Father sing, Praise to God the Son, our King, Praise to God the Spirit be Ever and eternally.
