Author: John Brownlie Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Now the sun at noon of day, Shines upon the earth below; And the fields in bright array, Spread their beauty in its glow;-- Jesus, Lord, when noon controls, May Thy beauty grace our souls. Weary, when the noon oppressed, Thou didst rest upon the well, And a sinning soul was blest, As Thy words divinely fell;-- Lord, Thy living water give, That our thirsting souls may live. 11 Once at noon, a midnight dread Blotted out the earth and sky, For the God-man bowed His head, And creation saw Him die;-- May Thy death our dying be, May we rise, O Christ, with Thee. In Thy realm of light above, Rising suns, nor setting, shine; Thou, Thyself, O Lord of Love, Ceaseless pour'st Thy light divine;-- Lord, where noontide shines alway Bring our souls, we humbly pray.

Light more glorious than the sun

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Light more glorious than the sun Dawns upon our fearful night, 44 And the longed-for day begun, Pours its everlasting light; Christ is risen, with gladness then Hail His rising, sons of men. Women came at early gloom, Sad at heart, and full of fears, Bearing to the dismal tomb, Spices, mingled with their tears; "Wherefore weep?" the angel said, "Christ is risen from the dead." Lone disciples all amazed Sought the place where He had lain, And they knew not as they gazed, That their Lord had risen again Mortals, hail the day begun, Christ hath risen, our glorious Sun. Mortals, lo! the Christ hath risen, God-man He, and Lord of life; Broken now is hades' prison, Sin is wounded in the strife; Lo, we hail Thy rising, now, Christ, the King immortal, Thou.
