Christ, Whose Glory Fills The Skies
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 475 hymnals First Line: Christ whose glory fills the skies Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise!
Triumph o'er the shades of night;
Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
Unaccompanied by you;
Joyless is the day's return,
Till your mercy's beams I view;
Till they inward light impart,
Glad my eyes, and warm my heart.
3 Visit then this soul of mine!
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief!
Fill me radiancy divine;
Scatter all my unbelief;
More and more yourself display,
Shining to the perfect day. Topics: Epiphany; Jesus Christ; Light; Morning; Renewal; Transfiguration Scripture: Luke 1:78 Used With Tune: LUCERNA LAUDONAIE
Christ, Whose Glory Fills The Skies
When Jesus Left His Father's Throne
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 128 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Jesus left his Father's throne,
He chose a humble birth;
Like us, unhonored and unknown,
He came to dwell on earth.
Like him may we be found below,
In wisdom's paths of peace;
Like him in grace and knowledge grow,
As years and strength increase.
2 Sweet were his words and kind his look,
When mothers round him pressed;
Their infants in his arms he took,
And on his bosom blessed.
Safe from the world's alluring harms,
Beneath his watchful eye,
Thus in the circle of his arms
May we for ever lie.
3 When Jesus into Zion rode,
The children sang around;
For joy they plucked the palms and strowed
Their garments on the ground.
Hosanna our glad voices raise,
Hosanna to our King!
Should we forget our Savior's praise,
The stones themselves would sing. Topics: Jesus Christ; Palm/Passion Sunday Scripture: Matthew 21:1-11 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Binding all the Church in one;
Holy Zion's help for ever,
And her confidence alone.

Come, O Lord of hosts, today;
With your wonted loving-kindness
Hear our servants as they pray,
And our fullest benediction
Shed in all its bright array.
3 Grant, we pray, to all your people,
All the grace they ask to gain;
What they gain from you for ever
With the blessed to retain,
And hereafter in your glory
Evermore with you to reign.
