Brightly Did the Light Divine

Author: Henry Alford Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Brightly did the light divine From his words and actions shine From the Twelve, with love unblamed, Son of consolation, named. 2.

Blessèd Spirit, who didst call Barnabas and holy Paul, And didst them with gifts endue, Mighty words and wisdom true, 4. Grant us, Lord of life, to be By their pattern full of Thee; That beside them we may stand In that day on Christ’s right hand. Used With Tune: VIENNA Text Sources: Poetical Works, 1868

The rip'ning fields ye see, Mighty shall the harvest be; But the reapers still are few, Great the work they have to do. 7 Lord of Harvest, let there be Joy and strength to work for Thee Till the nations far and near See Thy light, and learn Thy fear.

Blest Creator of the light

Author: Unknown Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blest Creator of the light, making day with radiance bright, thou didst o’er the forming earth give the golden light its birth. 2 Thou didst mark the night from day with the dawn's first piercing ray: darkness now is drying nigh; listen to our humble cry. 3 May we ne’er by guilt depressed lose the way to endless rest; nor with idle thoughts and vain bind our souls to earth again. 4 Rather may we heav'nward rise where eternal treasure lies; purified by grace within, hating ev'ry deed of sin. 5 Holy Father, hear our cry through thy Son our Lord most high, who our thankful hearts adore with the Spirit evermore.

Muller Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Good and pleasant 'tis to see Brethren dwell in unity, When the law which Jesus taught, Rules each word, and deed, and thought. 2 God has promised there, we know, Blessings richly to bestow, Life on earth, with all its store, Life in heaven for evermore. 3 Sun of righteousness, arise! Shine on our benighted eyes; To Thy Church Thy light unfold, That the nations may behold. 4 Jesus! Head of Christians all! Grant that we, both great and small, Through Thy gospel's light divine, May be one and wholly Thine. 5 Bring back all that go astray, Heavenly Shepherd! to Thy way; Neath Thy favor and Thy light, All Thy pasture-sheep unite.
