O Christ, our true and only Light

Author: John Heermann; Miss Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 96 hymnals Matching Instances: 9 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light, Illumine those who sit in night; Let those afar now hear Thy voice, And in Thy fold with us rejoice. 2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace The souls now lost in error's maze, And all, O Lord, whose secret minds, Some dark delusion hurts and blinds. 3 And all who else have strayed from Thee, O gently seek! Thy healing be To every wounded conscience given, And let them also share Thy heaven. 4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word, And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 5 Shine on the darkened and the cold, Recall the wanderers to Thy fold, Unite those now who walk apart, Confirm the weak and doubting heart. 6 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wondering thanks adore, And endless praise to Thee be given, By all Thy Church in earth and heaven.

Lord Jesus Christ, My Life, My Light

Author: Martin Behm; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1. Lord Jesus Christ, my life, my light, My strength by day, my trust by night, On earth I’m but a passing guest And sorely with my sins oppressed. 2. Far off I see my fatherland, Where through Thy blood I hope to stand. But ere I reach that paradise, A weary way before me lies. 3. My heart sinks at the journey’s length, My wasted flesh and little strength; My soul alone still cries in me: Lord, take me home, take me to Thee! 4. Oh, let Thy sufferings give me power To meet the last and darkest hour! Thy blood refresh and comfort me; Thy bonds and fetters make me free. 5. Oh, let Thy holy wounds for me Clefts in the rock forever be Where as a dove my soul can hide And safe from Satan’s rage abide. 6. And when my spirit flies away, Thy dying words shall be my stay. Thy cross shall be my staff in life, Thy holy grave my rest from strife. 7. Lord, in Thy nail prints let me read That Thou to save me hast decreed And grant that in Thine opened side My troubled soul may ever hide. 8. Since Thou hast died, the pure, the just, I take my homeward way in trust. The gates of Heav’n, Lord, open wide When here I may no more abide. 9. And when the last great day shall come And Thou, our judge, shalt speak the doom, Let me with joy behold the light And set me then upon Thy right. 10. Renew this wasted flesh of mine That like the sun it there may shine Among the angels pure and bright, Yea, like Thyself in glorious light. 11. Ah, then I’ll have my heart’s desire, When, singing with the angels’ choir, Among the ransomed of Thy grace, Forever I’ll behold Thy face! Used With Tune: O JESU CHRIST, MEIN'S
