O Christ, our true and only Light

Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 96 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light, Illumine those who sit in night; Let those afar now hear Thy voice And in Thy fold with us rejoice. 2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace The souls now lost in error's maze; And all whom in their secret minds Some dark delusion haunts and blinds. 3 And all who else have strayed from Thee, Oh gently seek! Thy healing be To every wounded conscience given, And let them share the peace of heaven. 4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word, And help the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 5 Shine on the darkened and the cold; Recall those wandered from Thy fold. Unite all those who walk apart, Confirm the weak and doubting heart, 6 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wondering thanks adore And endless praise to Thee be given By all Thy Church in earth and heaven.

The law of God is good and wise

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 20 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise And sets His will before our eyes, Shows us the way of righteousness, And dooms to death when we transgress. 2 Its light of holiness imparts The knowledge of our sinful hearts That we may see our lost estate And seek deliv'rance ere too late. 3 To those who help in Christ have found And would in works of love abound, It shows what deeds are His delight And should be done as good and right. 4 When men the offered help disdain And dead in sin and woe remain; Its terror in their ear resounds And keeps their wickedness in bounds. 5 The law is good; but since the fall Its holiness condemns us all: It dooms us for our sin to die, And has no power to justify. 6 To Jesus we for refuge flee, Who from the curse has set us free, And humbly worship at His throne, Saved by His grace through faith alone.

The Gospel shows the Father's grace

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 17 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The Gospel shows the Father's grace, Who sent His Son to save our race: Proclaims how Jesus lived and died That we might thus be justified. 2 It sets the Lamb before our eyes, Who made th' atoning sacrifice, And calls the souls with guilt oppressed To come and find eternal rest. 3 It brings the Savior's righteousness Our souls to robe in royal dress; From all our guilt it brings release, And gives the troubled conscience peace. 4 It is the power of God to save From sin and Satan and the grave; It works the faith, which firmly clings To all the treasures which it brings. 5 It bears to all the tidings glad And bids their hearts no more be sad: The heavy laden soul it cheers And banishes their guilty fears. 6 May we in faith its tidings learn Nor thanklessly its blessings spurn; May we in faith its truth confess, And praise the Lord our righteousness.
