Author: Frank von Christierson Hymnal: The Worshipbook #316 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Break forth, O living light of God,
Upon the world's dark hour!
Show us the way the Master trod;
Reveal his saving power.
2 Remove the veil of ancient words,
With message long obscure;
Restore to us your truth, O God,
And make its meaning sure.
3 Show us the prophets and the priests,
The kings, the common men,
Who kept the faith and walked with you;
O make them live again!
4 O let your Word be light anew
To every nation's life;
Unite us in your will, O Lord,
And end all sinful strife.
5 O may one Lord, one faith, one Word,
One Spirit lead us still;
And one great church go forth in might
To work God's perfect will.
Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day After Creed; Acts of the Church Confirmation; Christian Year Advent; Other Observances Christian Education; Other Observances Ecumenism; Other Observances Mission Scripture: John 8:12 Tune Title: ST. PETER
