Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 126 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye my people; speak ye peace: thus saith your God; comfort those who sit in darkness, bowed beneath oppression's load; of the peace that waits for thm speak ye to Jerusalem; tell her that her sins I cover, and her warfare now is over. 2 For the herald's voice is calling, in the desert far and near, bidding all to make repentance, since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for him a way; let the valleys rise to meet him, and the hills bow down to greet him. 3 Make ye straight what long was crookedl make the rougher places plain; let your hearts be true and humble, as befits his holy reign. For the glory of the Lord now o'er earth is shed abroad, and all flesh shall see the token that his word is never broken.

Light of Light, O Sun of Heaven

Author: Martin Opitz (1597-1639); Samuel Magnus Hill Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of light, O Sun of heaven, O Thou bright and morning Star, To mankind in mercy given, Send Thy radiance from afar, Bringing light to all the earth, Health and strength, and joy and mirth; Darkness past, the dawn is breaking, All creation is awaking. 2 Still my soul is thickly shrouded In the chilling mist of sin, And my conscience is beclouded By the ignorance within. Lead me by the hand, I pray, Lest in error's path I stray; Make Thy light my sole attraction, Guiding every thought and action. 3 Spirit of the heavenly morning, Shine into my darkened heart, That, the way of life discerning, I may choose the better part. Make my erring walk secure, Every thought and action pure; Whereso'er my feet be turning, Keep Thy zeal within me burning. 4 Deign Thy feeble flock to strengthen By the bonds of sacred love, And Thy lines of empire lengthen By Thy power from above. Help us govern in Thy sight, That our laws be just and right; That we suffer no oppression, Make our land Thine own possession. 5 Let our lamp of faith be burning On that awful judgment day. While in sin's domain sojourning, Guide us in the heavenward way: Then their praise and thanks to Thee, Lord, in all eternity Shall Thy happy children render, For Thy mercies, kind and tender. Amen.

Higbee Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, o’er the grave victorious, Conquering death, and conquering hell, Reign Thou in Thy might all glorious, Heav’n and earth Thy triumph swell. Saints in Thee approach the Father Asking in Thy name alone; He, in Thee, with love increasing, Gives and glorifies the Son. 2 Down to earth in all its darkness From the Father Thou didst come; Seeking sinners in their blindness, Calling earth’s poor exiles home; By a life of love and labor Doing all the Father’s will; Giving to each suppliant sufferer, Precious balm for every ill. 3 Patient ever in well-doing, Moving on in steps of blood, Thro’ the grave to heights of glory, Reconciling us with God. Here, in Thee, is peace forever; We can tribulation bear; Kiss Thy cross, with rapture knowing Thou hast conquered suffering there. Used With Tune: CHIGWELL
