The Brightness of God's Glory

Author: Michael Perry Hymnal: Singing the New Testament #215 (2008) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 The brightness of God’s glory and the image of God's being, the heir of richest majesty, the arm of regal might; creator of the universe all-knowing and all-seeing is Christ who brings forgiveness and the lifting of our night. 2 Far greater than the angels is the author of salvation, begotten of his Father's love before all time began; our offerings of righteousness, our refuge from temptation, one hope in all our sufferings is Christ, the Son of Man. 3 How awesome is his perfect life unending and unbroken, how faultless are his judgements and how faithful is his Word! Then hear, repent and worship him, obey, for God has spoken, receive his Holy Spirit and acknowledge Christ as Lord!

Michael Perry

1942 - 1996 Paraphraser of "The Brightness of God's Glory" in Singing the New Testament Initially studying mathematics and physics at Dulwich College, Michael A. Perry (b. Beckenham, Kent, England, 1942; d. England, 1996) was headed for a career in the sciences. However, after one year of study in physics at the University of London, he transferred to Oak Hill College to study theology. He also studied at Ridley Hall, Cambridge, and received a M.Phil. from the University of Southhampton in 1973. Ordained a priest in the Church of England in 1966, Perry served the parish of St. Helen's in Liverpool as a youth worker and evangelist. From 1972 to 1981 he was the vicar of Bitterne in Southhampton and from 1981 to 1989, rector of Eversley in Hampshire and chaplain at the Police Staff College. He then became vicar of Tonbridge in Kent, where he remained until his death from a brain tumor in 1996. Perry published widely in the areas of Bible study and worship. He edited Jubilate publications such as Hymns far Today's Church (1982), Carols far Today (1986), Come Rejoice! (1989), and Psalms for Today (1990). Composer of the musical drama Coming Home (1987), he also wrote more than two hundred hymns and Bible versifications. Bert Polman
