Author: Anonymous; Thomas Benson Pollock, 1836-1896 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #105 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Father’s sole-begotten Son
was born, the Virgin’s Child, on earth;
his cross for us adoption won—
the life and grace of second birth.
2 Forth from the height of heaven he came,
in form of man with man abode;
redeemed his world from death and shame,
the joys of endless life bestowed.
3 Redeemer, come with power benign,
dwell in the souls that look for thee;
O let thy light within us shine
that we may thy salvation see.
4 Abide with us, O Lord, we pray,
dispel the gloom of doubt and woe;
wash every stain of guilt away,
thy tender healing grace bestow.
5 Lord, thou hast come, and well we know
that thou wilt likewise come again;
thy kingdom shield from every foe,
thy honour and thy rule maintain.
6 Eternal glory, Lord, to thee,
whom, now revealed, our hearts adore;
to God the Father glory be,
and Holy Spirit evermore. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: TRINITY COLLEGE
