Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 475 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 1:19 Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true and only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise,
triumph o'er the shades of night;
Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
unaccompanied by thee;
joyless is the day's return
till thy mercy's beams I see,
till they inward light impart,
glad my eyes and warm my heart.
3 Visit, then, this soul of mine,
pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, Radiancy divine,
scatter all my unbelief;
more and more thyself display,
shining to the perfect day!

The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 94 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 1:19 Lyrics: 1 The King shall come when morning dawns
and light triumphant breaks,
when beauty gilds the eastern hills
and life to joy awakes
2 not, as of old, a little child,
to bear and fight and die,
but crowned with glory like the sun
that lights the morning sky.
3 Oh, brighter than the rising morn
when Christ, victorious, rose
and left the lonesome place of death,
despite the rage of foes
4 oh, brighter than that glorious morn
shall dawn upon our race
the day when Christ in splendor comes
and we shall see his face.
5 The King shall come when morning dawns
and light and beauty brings.
Hail, Christ the Lord! Your people pray:
come quickly, King of kings.

the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide:
when other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
help of the helpless, O abide with me.

earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
change and decay in all around I see:
O thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need thy presence every passing hour;
what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless;
ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness:
where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still if thou abide with me.
5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes,
shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;
heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee:
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Devotion; Our Response to God in the morning and evening; The Church Celebrates Death and Grieving; Change; Death and Bereavement; God Faithfulness of; Jesus cross Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

may Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this the eternal song
through all the ages long:
may Jesus Christ be praised!

My former hopes are fled

In trespasses and sins.

The law proclaims destruction nigh,
And vengeance at the door.

I dread impending doom;
But hark! a friendly whisper says,
Flee from the wrath to come.

A glimmering from afar,
A beam of day that shines for me,
To save me from despair.

It marks the pilgrim's way;
I'll gaze upon it while I run,
And watch the rising day. Topics: The Christian System Condemnation; Trembling Solicitude
