O Christ, who art the light and day
Author: Anon. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Christ, who art the light and day,
Thy beams chase night's dark shades away;
The very Light of light Thou art,
Who dost that blessed light impart.
2 All-holy Lord, to Thee we bend,
Thy servants through this night defend,
And grant us calm repose in Thee,
A quiet night from perils free.
3 Let not dull sleep the soul oppress,
Nor secret foe the heart possess.
Nor Satan's wiles the flesh allure,
And make us in Thy sight impure.
4 Light slumbers let our eyelids take,
The heart to Thee be still awake;
And Thy right hand protection be
To those who love and trust in Thee.
5 O Lord, our strong defense, be nigh;
Bid all the powers of darkness fly;
Preserve and watch o'er us for good,
Whom Thou hast purchased with Thy blood.
6 Remember us, dear Lord, we pray,
Whilst burdened in the flesh we stay:
Thou only canst the soul defend;
Be with us, Savior, to the end. Topics: Family Prayer Evening Used With Tune: [O Christ, who art the light and day] Text Sources: Latin, 8th Century
O Christ, who art the light and day
O Glory Of Thy Chosen Race
Author: Johann Campanus; Christian Carol Josias Bunsen; Fenton J. A. Hort Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O glory of Thy chosen race,
Light of the nations, show Thy face;
We wait in faith Thy lowly birth,
God’s glory veiled to bless the earth.
2 Thee, Son of God, from Heaven’s high seat,
Thee, virgin born, we long to greet;
Redeemed by Thee, all worlds proclaim
The wonder of Thy twofold name.
3 This earth has seen Thy sojourn, Lord,
Who now art high in Heaven adored;
In Hell’s dim vale Thy footsteps trod:
The star-worlds hymned Thee back to God.
4 O mighty Savior, King divine,
Subdue this realm of flesh made Thine;
Its feeble frame cries out for Thee;
Thy touch, Thy life, alone make free.
5 E’en now Thy manger gleams afar,
To waiting eyes a morning star,
In each dark night to faith below
Its light unquenched shall ever glow.
6 All praise to God the Father be,
All praise, eternal Son, to Thee,
Whom with the Spirit we adore,
One God, both now and ever more. Used With Tune: LEONBURG Text Sources: Latin: Odarum Sacrarum, Lieber Posterior Prague: 1612; German: Allgemeinen Evangelischen Gesang- und Gebetbuchs ; English: Church Hymns, 1871
