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!

that lights the morning sky.

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.

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.

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

I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary and worn and sad;
I found in him a resting-place,
and he has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
'Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down and drink and live.'
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
'I am this dark world’s light;
look unto me, your morn shall rise,
and all your day be bright.'
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in him my star, my sun;
and in that light of life I’ll walk,
till travelling days are done.

God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,129 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 1:19 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way
his wonders to perform;
he plants his footsteps in the sea,
and rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
of never failing skill,
he treasures up his bright designs
and works his sovereign will.
3 You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
the clouds you so much dread
are big with mercy and shall break
in blessings on your head.
4 His purposes will ripen fast,
unfolding every hour;
the bud may have a bitter taste,
but sweet will be the flower.
5 Blind unbelief is sure to err
and scan his work in vain:
God is his own interpreter,
and he will make it plain.

Author: Andrew Reed, 1787-1862 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 779 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 1:19 Lyrics: 1 Holy Ghost, with light divine,
Shine upon this heart of mine;
Chase the shades of night away,
Turn my darkness into day.
2 Holy Ghost, with power divine,
Cleanse this guilty heart of mine;
Long hath sin without control
Held dominion o'er my soul.
3 Holy Ghost, with joy divine,
Cheer this saddened heart of mine;
Bid my many woes depart,
Heal my wounded, bleeding heart.
4 Holy Spirit, all divine,
Dwell within this heart of mine;
Cast down every idol throne,
Reign supreme, and reign alone.
