Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine To guide our souls to heav'n, To guide our souls to heav'n. 2 Its light, descending from above Our gloomy world to cheer, Displays a Savior's boundless love And brings His glories near, And brings His glories near. 3 It shows to us our wand'ring ways And where his feet have trod, And brings to view the matchless grace Of a forgiving God, Of a forgiving God. 4 O'er all the straight and narrow way Its radiant beams are cast; A light whose never weary ray Grows brightest at the last, Grows brightest at the last. 5 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts In this dark vale of tears, Life, light, and joy it still imparts And quells our rising fears, And quells our rising fears. 6 This lamp through all the tedious night Of life shall guide our way Till we behold the clearer light Of an eternal day, Of an eternal day.

The God by all adored, The God by all adored. 6 His righteous government and pow'r Shall over all extend; On judgment and on justice based, His reign shall have no end, His reign shall have no end. 7 Lord Jesus, reign in us, we pray, And make us Thine alone, Who with the Father ever art And Holy Spirit, one, And Holy Spirit, one.

Crull, 1845-1923 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise God the Lord, ye sons of men, Before His highest throne; Today He opens heav'n again And gives us His own Son, And gives us His own Son. 2 He leaves His heav'nly Father's throne, Is born an infant small, And in a manger, poor and lone, Lies in a humble stall, Lies in a humble stall. 3 He veils in flesh His pow'r divine A servant's form to take; In want and lowliness must pine Who heav'n and earth did make, Who heav'n and earth did make. 4 He nestles at His mother's breast, Receives her tender care, Whom angels hail with joy most blest, King David's royal Heir, King David's royal Heir. 5 'Tis He who in these latter days From Judah's tribe should come, By whom the Father would upraise The Church, His Christendom, The Church, His Christendom. 6 A wondrous change which He does make! He takes our flesh and blood, And He conceals for sinners' sake His majesty of God, His majesty of God. 7 He serves that I a lord may be; A great exchange indeed! Could Jesus' love do more for me To help me in my need, To help me in my need? 8 For us He opens wide the door Of Paradise today; The angel guards the gate no more, To God our thanks we pay, To God our thanks we pay.

The Blood of Christ, Thy Spotless Lamb

Author: William Pond Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. The blood of Christ, Thy spotless Lamb, O God, is all my plea; Naught else could for my sin atone; I have no merit of my own, Which I can bring to Thee. 2. No sacrifice save His who bore, My load upon the tree, No other plea which lips could frame, No other blood, no other name, Accepted is by Thee. 3. Since Christ has entered by His blood, The holiest on high; By that same hallowed blood stained track, Thou welcomest the wanderer back, And biddest me draw nigh. 4. Oh, wondrous cross! Oh precious blood! Oh death by which I live! The sinless One, for me made sin, Doth now His wondrous heart within, Eternal refuge give. 5. By that blest cross, that cleansing blood, I know His power to save; The merits of His work confess, I stand in Him completely blest, A conqueror o’er the grave.
