O Blessèd Sun whose splendor

Author: Karl Johann Philipp Spitta; Richard Massie Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O blessèd Sun, whose splendor Dispels the shades of night; O Jesus, my Defender, My Soul's supreme delight, Though fortune should bereave me Of all I love the best, If Thou Thy love still leave me, I freely give the rest. 2 I know no life divided, O Lord of life, from Thee; In Thee is life provided For all mankind and me; I know no death, O Jesus, Because I live in Thee; Thy death it is which frees us From death eternally. 3 I fear no tribulation, Since, whatsoe'er it be, It makes no separation Between my Lord and me. If Thou, my God and Teacher, Vouchsafe to be my own, Though poor, I shall be richer Than monarch on his throne. 4 If, while on earth I wander, My heart is light and blest, Ah, what shall I be yonder, In perfect peace and rest? O blessèd thought in dying! We go to meet the Lord, Where there shall be no sighing, A kingdom our reward. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER

Desire of Every Nation

Author: Anna B. Hoppe Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Desire of every nation, Light of the Gentiles, Thou! In fervent adoration Before Thy throne we bow; Our hearts and tongues adore Thee, Blest Dayspring from the skies. Like incense sweet before Thee, Permit our songs to rise. 2. Thou Herald of the morning, They who in darkness dwell Behold Thy brightness dawning O’er realms of Israel. With glorious beams unclouded, Thy all-transcendent light Dispels the gloom that shrouded Earth’s dark and dismal night. 3. Arise and shine in splendor, Thou bright and morning Star! The Gentiles come to render Their gifts from realms afar. The word by prophets spoken In truth is now fulfilled. And yearning hearts, once broken, With sweetest hope are filled. 4. Arise and bring salvation To all who dwell below, Let earth in jubilation Reflect Thy radiant glow. O long expected Savior, Thou Hope of Israel, Let Gentiles gain Thy favor, And of Thy glory tell. 5. Our Life and Resurrection, Lord Jesus Christ, Thou art; O shed Thy light’s reflection To earth’s remotest part; Let Gentile tongues confess Thee, Rejoicing in Thy light, The ransomed thousands bless Thee, Thou hast dispelled the night.
