O God of God, O Light of Light

Author: J. Julian, 1839-1913 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of God, O Light of Light, Thou Prince of Peace, Thou King of kings! To Thee where angels know no night The song of praise forever rings. To Him who sits upon the throne, The Lamb once slain for sinful men, Be honor, might, all by Him won, Glory and praise! Amen, Amen. 2 Deep in the prophets' sacred page, Grand in the poets' winged word, Slowly, in type, from age to age, Nations beheld their coming Lord, Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song "Good will to men!" Hymned by the first-born sons of light, Reechoed now, "Good will!" Amen. 3 That life of truth, those deeds of love, That death of pain, mid hate and scorn-- These all are past, and now above He reigns, our King, once crowned with thorn. Lift up your heads, ye heav'nly gates! So sang His hosts, unheard by men, Lift up your heads, for you He waits. We lift them up. Amen, Amen. 4 Nations afar, in ign'rance deep, Isles of the sea, where darkness lay, These hear His voice, they wake from sleep, And throng with joy the upward way. They cry with us, "Send forth Thy light, O Lamb, once slain for sinful men! Burst Satan's bonds, O God of might; Set all men free!" Amen, Amen. 5 Sing to the Lord a glorious song; Sing to His name, His love forthtell! Sing on, heav'n's host, His praise prolong; Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell! Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain! From angels praise and thanks from men! Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign, Glory and pow'r! Amen, Amen. Topics: Jesus, Savior of Gentiles Used With Tune: CREATION

O God of God! O Light of Light!

Author: John Julian Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #71 (1937) Lyrics: 1 O God of God! O Light of light! Thou Prince of Peace, Thou King of kings, To Thee, where angels know no night, The song of praise forever rings: To Him who sits upon the throne, The Lamb once slain for sinful men, Be honor, might, all by Him won; Glory and praise! Amen, Amen! 2 Deep in the prophets' sacred page, Grand in the poets' winged word, Slowly in type, from age to age, Nations beheld their coming Lord; Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song, "Good will to men!" Hymned by the first-born sons of light, Re-echoed now, "Good will!" Amen! 3 Nations afar, in ignorance deep; Isles of the sea where darkness lay; These hear Thy voice, they wake from sleep, And throng with joy the upward way. They cry with us, "Send forth Thy light, O Lamb, once slain for sinful men; Burst Satan's bonds, O God of might; Set all men free! Amen, Amen!" 4 Sing to the Lord a glorious song, Sing to His Name, His love forthtell; Sing on, heaven's host, His praise prolong; Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell: "Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain; From angels, praise; and thanks from men; Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign, Glory and power! Amen, Amen!" Amen.

O God of God, O Light of Light

Author: John Julian, 1839-1913 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #83 (1982) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1 O God of God, O Light of light, O Prince of Peace and King of kings: To you in heaven's glory bright The song of praise forever rings. To him who shares the Father's throne, The Lamb once slain but raised again, Be all the glory he has won, All thanks and praise! Amen, amen. 2 For deep in prophets' sacred page, And grand in poets' winged word, Slowly in type, from age to age The nations saw their coming Lord; Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song, "Good-will to men!" Sung once by first-born sons of light, It echoes now, "Good-will!" Amen. 3 That life of truth, those deeds of love, That death so steeped in hate and scorn-- These all are past, and now above He reigns, our king first crowned with thorn. Lift up your heads, O mighty gates! So sang that host beyond our ken. Lift up your heads, your king awaits. We lift them up, Amen, amen. 4 Then raise to Christ a mighty song, And shout his name, his glories tell! Sing, heav'nly host, your praise prolong, And all on earth, your anthem swell! All hail, O Lamb for sinners slain! Forever let the song ascend! All hail, O Lamb enthroned to reign! All hail, all hail! Amen, amen.

Joseph Haydn

1732 - 1809 Person Name: F. J. Haydn, 1732-1809 Composer of "CREATION" in Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music. Bert Polman

Joseph Barnby

1838 - 1896 Composer of "JORDAN" in The Hymnal Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barnby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873). Bert Polman
