Ye golden lamps of heaven, farewell
Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 153 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 60 Lyrics: 1 Ye golden lamps of heaven, farewell,
With all your feeble light;
Farewell, thou ever-changing moon,
Pale empress of the night.
2 And thou, refulgent orb of day,
In brighter flames arrayed,
My soul, that springs beyond thy sphere,
No more demands thy aid.
3 Ye stars are but the shining dust
Of my divine abode,
The pavement of those heavenly courts
Where I shall see my God.
4 The Father of eternal light
Will there his beams display;
Nor shall one moment's darkness blend
With that unvaried day. Topics: Life and Death; The Christian's Farewell
Ye golden lamps of heaven, farewell

"Christ is near," we hear it say.
"Cast away the works of darkness,
All you children of the day!"
2 Startled at the solemn warning,
Let the earth-bound soul arise;
Christ, its sun, all sloth dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.
3 See, the Lamb, so long expected,
Comes with pardon down from heav'n.
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
One and all, to be forgiv'n:
4 So, when next He comes in glory
And the world is wrapped in fear,
He will shield us with His mercy
And with words of love draw near.
5 Honor, glory, might, dominion
to the Father and the Son
With the ever-living Spirit
While eternal ages run! Topics: End Times Used With Tune: MERTON Text Sources: Latin, c. 5th-10th cent.

Saw You Never, in the Twilight
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 85 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-3 Lyrics: 1 Saw you never, in the twilight,
when the sun had left the skies,
up in heav'n the clear stars shining
through the gloom, like silver eyes?
So of old the wise men, watching,
saw a little stranger star,
and they knew the King was given,
and they followed it from far.
2 Heard you never of the story
how they crossed the desert wild,
journeyed on by plain and mountain
till they found the holy child?
How they opened all their treasure,
kneeling to that infant King;
gave the gold and fragrant incense,
gave the myrrh in offering?
3 Know ye not that lowly baby
was the bright and morning Star?
He who came to light the Gentiles
and the darkened isles afar?
And we, too, may seek his cradle;
there our hearts' best treasures bring;
love and faith and true devotion
for our Savior, God, and King.

Lord Jesus, if the same you are
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-6 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, if the same you are,
if all your promises are sure,
set up your kingdom in my heart
and make me rich, for I am poor;
to me be all your treasure given,
the kingdom of an inward heaven.
2 You have pronounced the mourners blest;
for loss of you I ever mourn:
I cannot, and I will not rest
till you, my only rest, return;
till you, the Prince of Peace, appear,
and I receive the Comforter.
3 Where is the blessedness bestowed
on all that hunger after you?
I hunger now, I thirst for God:
now this poor sinner's life renew,
and satisfy with endless peace,
and fill me with your righteousness.
4 Shine on your work, disperse the gloom,
light in your light I'll see anew:
say to my soul, 'Your light is come,
glory divine is risen on you,
your warfare's done, your mourning's past;
look up, your tears shall end at last!'
