• [Isa 60:1] All Ye Gentile Lands Awake!

  All ye Gentile lands awake! Thou, O Salem, rise and shine! See the day-spring o’er you break, Heralding a morn divine, Telling, God hath called to mind Those who long in darkness pined. Lo! the shadows flee away, For our Light is come at length, Brighter than all earthly day, Source of being, life and strength! Whoso on this Light would gaze Must forsake all evil ways. Ah how blindly did we stray Ere shone forth this glorious Sun, Seeking each his separate way, Leaving Heaven, unsought, unwon; All our looks were earthward bent, All our strength on earth was spent. Earthly were our thoughts and low, In the toils of folly caught, Tossed of Satan to and fro, Counting goodness all for naught; By the world and flesh deceived, Heaven’s true joys we disbelieved. Then were hidden from our eyes All the law and grace of God; Rich and poor, the fools and wise, Wanting light to find the road Leading to the heavenly life, Wandered lost in care and strife. But the glory of the Lord Hath arisen on us today; We have seen the light outpoured That must surely drive away All things that to night belong, All the sad earth’s woe and wrong. Thy arising, Lord, shall fill All my thoughts in sorrow’s hour; Thy arising, Lord, shall still All my dread of death’s dark power; Through my smiles and through my tears Still Thy light, O Lord, appears. Let me, Lord in peace depart From this evil world to Thee; Where Thyself sole Brightness art, Thou hast kept a place for me: In the shining city there Crowns of light Thy saints shall wear.

In quiet splendor forth He comes, The scattered sheep and tender lambs To gather, and their fold prepare With all a shepherd’s tender care. The gentle Shepherd we behold Who, not with silver and with gold, But by His suffering and His death Will save us from eternal wrath. His Church, though small its seed may be, Shall grow into a mighty tree. With fruitful branches spreading o’er The earth till time shall be no more. Arise and shine, thy Light is come, O humankind, O Christendom; Thy glory and thy peace is here; The Savior of the world draws near. All praise and glory be to Thee; For wisdom, power, and majesty; And for Thy grace, and mercy, Lord, Forever be Thy Name adored.

• [Isa 60:15] O Zion, When Thy Savior Came

  O Zion, when thy Savior came In grace and love to thee, No beauty in thy royal Lord Thy faithless eye could see. Yet, onward in His path of grace, The holy Sufferer went, To feel, at last, that love on thee Had all in vain been spent. Yet not in vain; o’er Israel’s land The glory yet will shine; And He, thy once rejected King, Messiah, shall be thine. When thou, beneath the peaceful reign Of Jesus and His bride, Shalt sound His grace and glory forth To all the earth beside. The nations to thy glorious light, O Zion! yet shall throng; And all the listening islands wait To catch the joyful song. The name of Jesus yet shall ring Through earth and Heaven above, And all His ransomed people know The Sabbath of His love.

• [Isa 60:18] Gates Of Praise

  Lift up the Gates of Praise, That we may enter in, And o’er Salvation’s walls proclaim That Christ redeems from sin. Refrain The stars may praise the Hand That decks the sky above, But man alone can tell the power Of Christ’s redeeming love. God’s works reveal His might, His majesty and grace; But not the tender Father’s love That saves a dying race. Refrain Then let the voice of praise To heav’nly courts ascend, Till with the songs the angels sing Our hallelujahs blend. Refrain To Him that hath redeemed Our souls from sin’s dark maze; The Hope and Savior of mankind, Be everlasting praise. Refrain

• [Isa 60:18] Hear What God The Lord Hath Spoken

  Hear what God the Lord hath spoken, “O my people, faint and few, Comfortless, afflicted, broken, Fair abodes I build for you: Themes of heartfelt tribulation Shall no more perplex your ways; You shall name your walls, Salvation, And your gates shall all be praise. “There, like streams that feed the garden, Pleasures, without end, shall flow, For the Lord, your faith rewarding, All His bounty shall bestow; Still in undisturbed possession Peace and righteousness shall reign; Never shall you feel oppression, Hear the voice of war again. “Ye no more your suns descending, Waning moons no more shall see; But your griefs forever ending, Find eternal noon in Me: God shall rise, and shining o’er you, Change to day the gloom of night; He, the Lord, shall be your Glory, God your everlasting Light.”

• [Isa 60:19] Eternal Light

  Eternal Light! eternal Light! How pure the soul must be When, placed within Thy searching sight, It shrinks not, but with calm delight Can live, and look on Thee! The spirits that surround Thy throne May bear the burning bliss; But that is surely theirs alone, Since they have never, never known A fallen world like this. O how shall I, whose native sphere Is dark, whose mind is dim, Before the Ineffable appear, And on my naked spirit bear That uncreated beam? There is a way for man to rise To that sublime abode: An offering and a sacrifice, A Holy Spirit’s energies, An Advocate with God. These, these prepare us for the sight Of holiness above; The sons of ignorance and night, May dwell in the eternal Light, Through the eternal Love.

• [Isa 60:19] O Everlasting Light

  O Everlasting Light, Giver of dawn and day, Dispeller of the ancient night In which creation lay; O Everlasting Light, Shine graciously within; Brightest of all on earth that’s bright, Come, shine away my sin. O Everlasting Truth, Truest of all that’s true, Sure Guide of erring age and youth, Lead me, and teach me, too. O Everlasting Strength, Uphold me in the way; Bring me, in spite of foes, at length To joy and light and day. O Everlasting Love, Wellspring of grace and peace, Pour down Thy fullness from above, Bid doubt and trouble cease. O Everlasting Rest, Lift off life’s load of care; Relieve, revive this burdened breast, And every sorrow bear. Thou art in Heav’n our All, Our All on earth art Thou; Upon Thy glorious Name we call, Lord Jesus, bless us now.
