Author: Christian Gregor, 1723-1801; Kenneth G. Hamilton; Donald M. McCorkle Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #596 (1995) Meter: 8.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 What splendid rays of truth and grace,
all other light excelling!
This I know when he in love
makes my heart his dwelling!
2 He blesses me so sensibly
that, though I’m poor and lowly,
yet in him I can rejoice
as my Savior holy.
3 Had I the grace to seek His face
in any trying hour!
Help from none will he withhold
who implores his power.
4 Therefore I pray, while here I stay
and look to him with yearning:
fixed in him may I abide,
kept from ever turning. Topics: Gifts of the Spirit; Christ--Abiding with believers; Christ--Love of; Gifts of the Spirit; Steadfastness Scripture: 1 John 2:28 Languages: English Tune Title: INGHAM
