LUX TREMENDA
God, we praise you. God we bless you.
Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God, we praise you. God, we bless you.
God, we name you sovereign Lord.
Mighty King whom angels worship,
Father, by your church adored:
all creation shows your glory,
heaven and earth draw near your throne
singing 'Holy, holy, holy,
Lord of hosts and God alone!'
2 True apostles, faithful prophets,
saints who set their world ablaze,
martyrs, once unknown, unheeded,
join one growing song of praise,
while your church on earth confesses
one majestic Trinity:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
God, our hope eternally.
3 Jesus Christ, the king of glory,
everlasting Son of God,
humble was your virgin mother,
hard the lonely path you trod:
by your cross is sin defeated,
hell confronted face to face,
heaven opened to believers,
sinners justified by grace.
4 Christ, at God's right hand victorious,
you will judge the world you made;
Lord, in mercy help your servants
for whose freedom you have paid:
raise us up from dust to glory,
guard us from all sin today;
King enthroned above all praises,
save your people, God, we pray. Topics: God in Trinity Scripture: 1 Timothy 3:16 Used With Tune: LUX TREMENDA Text Sources: Te Deum

Great and deep the Spirit's purpose
Bright the cloud and bright the glory
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 with refrain Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Bright the cloud and bright the glory,
brighter far than mere sun's rays,
opening up a glimpse of heaven
to disciples' awestruck gaze:
power past their comprehension,
splendour too profound for praise.
All was changed, all was changed;
and they would never be the same.
2 Bright the cloud but dark the glory
wrought by human enterprise,
opening wide with awful terror
stark new worlds before our eyes:
power grasped but far from mastered,
knowledge keen but not yet wise.
All has changed, all has changed;
and we shall never be the same.
3 From the cloud and from the glory
human need brought Jesus down:
down to death, then from death rising
to receive a victor's crown.
Lead us, Christ, to prize compassion
more than might, wealth, or renown.
Help us change, help us change,
that we may never be the same. Topics: Christ Incarnate Public Ministry; Change; Christian Year Season of Epiphany; Jesus transfiguration Scripture: Luke 23:49 Used With Tune: LUX TREMENDA
