203. Shine Forth, O Lord, Thou Bright and Morning Star | 10s. |
|
|
| | |
|
| 1 | Shine forth, O Lord, Thou bright and morning Star! |
| Come, quickly come! Thy people waiting are, |
| Shout, shout the word that bids Thy dead arise, |
| And calls Thy saints to meet Thee in the skies. |
|
| Amen, come, Lord Jesus! |
| Claim Thy people for Thine own! |
| Crown Thy church in glory, |
| Seated in Thy throne! |
|
| 2 | Shine forth, O Lord, come soon for Thy redeemed, |
| For those on whom Thy tender love has beamed; |
| Thy pilgrim saints oft weary in the way |
| Cry out for Thee—Star of the coming day! |
|
| 3 | Shine forth, O Lord, and claim Thy blood-bought bride, |
| Put forth Thy power and raise her to Thy side, |
| We wait the hour when our glad shout shall be |
| That death is swallowed up in victory. |
|
| 4 | Shine forth, O Lord, and bring to pass the day |
| When every clime shall own Thy rightful sway, |
| When all mankind before Thy throne shall fall, |
| And heaven and earth shall crown Thee Lord of all. |
