O God of God, O Light of Light

Author: J. Julian, 1839-1913 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 50 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 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.

O God, I Cried, No Dark Disguise

Author: Edna St. Vincent Millay Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. O God, I cried, no dark disguise Can e’er hereafter hide from me Thy radiant identity, Thy radiant identity! I know the path that tells the way Thro’ the cool eve of every day. God, I can push the grass apart And lay my finger on Thy heart. 2. The world stands out on either side No wider than the heart is wide; Above the world is stretched the sky— No higher than the soul is high. The heart can push the sea and land Farther away on either hand; The soul can split the sky in two, And let the face of God shine thro’.

Oh Realm of Light

Author: Emily H. Miller Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Oh realm of light! whose morning star Lyrics: 1. Oh realm of light! whose morning star To Bethlehem’s manger led the way, Not yet upon our longing eyes Shines the full splendor of thy day: Yet still across the centuries fall, Both strong and sweet, our Lord’s command; And still with steadfast faith we cry, Behold, the kingdom is at hand! 2. Oh realm of Heav’n! whose dawn began With love’s divine, incarnate breath, Our hearts were slow to understand The lessons of that life and death: Yet though with stammering tongues we tell Redemption’s story, strange and sweet, The world’s Redeemer, lifted up Shall draw the nations to His feet. 3. Oh realm of peace! whose music clear Swept through Judea’s starlit skies, Still the harsh sounds of human strife Break on thy heavenly harmonies; Yet shall thy song of triumph ring In full accord, from land to land, And men with angels learn to sing, Behold, the kingdom is at hand!

On mountain height, by peaceful shores, O’er sunny meads, in shaded dells; Awake, your sacred echoes, wake, Ring out your chimes, sweet Easter bells! Let humble fane and lofty dome Each answer each in tuneful swells, O’er every temple to His praise, Ring loud and clear sweet Easter bells. 2. The orb of day his course pursues, And in his path all shade dispels; With him encircling earth around, Ring out, ring out sweet Easter bells. Sweet Easter bells, glad Easter bells, Your liquid melody foretells That morn when death itself shall die, And Heaven ring, sweet Easter bells.
