O Splendor of God's Glory Bright
Author: Ambrose of Milan; Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 49 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Splendor of God's glory bright,
from light eternal bringing light,
O Light of light, light's living Spring,
true Day, all days illumining:
2 Come, very Sun of heaven's love,
in lasting radiance from above,
and pour the Holy Spirit's ray
on all we think or do today.
3 And now to thee our pray'rs ascend,
O Father, glorious without end;
we plead with Sovereign Grace for pow'r
to conquer in temptation's hour.
4 Confirm our will to do the right,
and keep our hearts from envy's blight;
let faith her eager fires renew,
and hate the false, and love the true.
5 O joyful be the passing day
with thoughts as pure as morning's ray,
with faith like noontide shining bright,
our souls unshadowed by the night.
6 Dawn's glory gilds the earth and skies,
let him, our perfect Morn, arise,
the Word in God the Father one,
the Father imaged in the Son.

On Jordan's Bank
Author: John Chandler, 1806-1876; Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 230 hymnals First Line: On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
Announces that the Lord is nigh;
Awake and harken, for he brings
Glad tidings of the King of kings.
2 Then cleansed be ev'ry life from sin;
Make straight the way for God within,
And let each heart prepare a home
Where such a mighty guest may come.
3 For you are our salvation, Lord,
Our refuge, and our great reward;
Without your grace we waste away
Like flow'rs that wither and decay.
4 To heal the sick stretch out your hand,
And bid the fallen sinner stand;
Shine forth and let your light restore
Earth's own true loveliness once more.
5 All praise to you, eternal Son,
Whose advent has our freedom won,
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Spirit, evermore. Topics: Advent; Advent III B; Advent III C; Advent II A Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW

Before Jehovah's Aweful Throne
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748; John Wesley, 1703-1791 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 965 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's aweful throne,
Ye nations bow with sacred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone,
He can create, and he destroy.
2 His sovereign power without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men;
And when, like wandering sheep, we strayed,
He brought us to his fold again.
3 We are his people, we his care,
Our souls, and all our mortal frame:
What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to thy Name?
4 We'll crowd your gates with thankful songs,
High as the heaven our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill your courts with sounding praise.
5 Wide as the world is thy command,
Vast as eternity thy love;
Firm as a rock thy truth must stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.
Amen.

Eternal One, Thou Living God
Author: Samuel Longfellow Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Eternal One, Thou living God,
Whom changing years unchanged reveal,
With Thee their way our fathers trod;
The hand they held, in ours we feel.
2. The same our trust, the same our need,
In sorrow’s stress, in duty’s hour;
We keep their faith, by Thee decreed,
That faith the fount of all our power.
3. We bless Thee for the growing light;
Th’advancing thought, the wid’ning view,
The larger freedom, clearer sight,
Which from the old unfolds the new.
4. With wider view, come loftier goal;
With fuller light, more good to see;
With freedom, truer self control,
With knowledge, deeper reverence be.
5. Anew we pledge ourselves to Thee,
To follow where Thy truth shall lead;
Afloat upon its boundless sea,
Who sails with God is safe indeed! Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW

To Him who merits all my love!
Let cheerful anthems fill His house,
While to that sacred shrine I move. [Refrain]

Charmed to confess the voice divine. [Refrain]

Fixed on this blissful centre, rest;
Nor ever from thy Lord depart,
With Him of every good possest. [Refrain]

Till in life's latest hour I bow,
And bless in death a bond so dear. [Refrain]

Author: Venerable Bede, 673-735; John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The great forerunner of the morn,
The herald of the Word, is born;
And faithful hearts shall never fail
With thanks and praise his light to hail.
2 With heav'nly message Gabriel came,
That John should be that herald's name,
And with prophetic utt'rance told
His actions great and manifold.
3 His mighty deeds exalt his fame
To greater than a prophet's name;
Of woman born shall never be
A greater prophet than was he.
