O God of Light

Text written by Sarah E. Taylor (1883-1954)

Sung to ATKINSON, composed by H. Barrie Cabena (1933 - ?)

Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

Proverbs 4:18 The path of the righteous is like the morning sun,

shining ever brighter till the full light of day.

V. 1 O God of light, Your Word, a lamp unfailing,

Shall pierce the darkness of our earthbound way

And show your grace, Your plan for us unveiling,

And guide our footsteps to the perfect day.

2 Peter 1:21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

V. 2 From days of old, through blind and willful ages,

Though we rebelled, You gently sought again,

And spoke through saints, apostles, prophets, sages,

Who wrote with eager or reluctant pen.

Matthew 9:36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

V. 3 Undimmed by time, those words are still revealing

To sinful hearts Your justice and Your grace;

And questing mortals longing for Your healing,

See Your compassion in the Savior's face.

Revelation 14:6 Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people.

V. 4 To all the world Your summons You are sending,

Through all the earth, to every land and race,

That myriad tongues, in one great anthem blending,

May praise and celebrate Your gift of grace.

And hidden glory lies.

It makes our sorrows blest;

Our fairest hope beyond the grave,

And our eternal rest.

God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens

God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens

Text written by Catherine Cameron (1927 - ?)

Sung to HENISEE, composed in 1984 by Eurydice V. Osterman (1950 - ?)

Psalm 104:2 The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment;

he stretches out the heavens like a tent.

V. 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens

Infinite in time and place,

Flung the suns in burning radiance

Through the silent fields of space:

We, Your children in Your likeness,

Share inventive powers with You;

Great Creator, still creating,

Show us what we yet may do.

Revelation 11:18 The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your people who revere your name, both great and small—and for destroying those who destroy the earth.

V. 2 We have ventured worlds undreamed of

Since the childhood of our race;

Known the ecstacy of winging

Through untraveled realms of space,

Probed the secrets of the atom,

Yielding unimagined power,

Facing us with life's destruction

Or our most triumphant hour.

V. 3 As each far horizon beckons,

May it challenge us anew:

Children of creative purpose,

Serving others, honoring You.

May our dreams prove rich with promise;

Each endeavor well begun;

Great Creator, give us guidance

Till our goals and Yours are one.

In unceasing chorus praising;

Unto them His grace He showeth, 

And their sorrows all He knoweth.

The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.

To preserve them pure and holy.

Firm as a rock His truth shall stand,

When rolling years shall cease to move.

Sing a New Song to the Lord

Sing a New Song to the Lord

Text written by Timothy Dudley-Smith (1926 - )

Hymn tune composed by David G. Wilson (1940 - )

Psalm 98 Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things;

his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.

The Lord has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations.

He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music;

make music to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing,

with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn—shout for joy before the Lord, the King.

Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.

Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy;

let them sing before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity.

V. 1 Sing a new song to the Lord,

He to whom wonders belong.

Rejoice in His triumph and tell of His power.

O sing a new song to the Lord.

V. 2 Now to the ends of the earth

See His salvation is shown.

And still He remembers His mercy and truth,

Unchanging in love to His own.

V. 3 Sing a new song and rejoice.

Publish His praises abroad.

Let voices in chorus with trumpet and horn,

Resound for the joy of the Lord.

V. 4 Join with the hills and the sea,

Thunders of praise to prolong.

In judgment and justice He comes to the earth.

O sing a new song to the Lord.
