That so the light of truth and grace
Before the world may shine.
Let us ne'er turn away from Thee;
O Saviour, hold us fast,
Till with unclouded eyes we see
Thy glorious face at last.
HYMN 125.
To God be glory, peace on earth,
To all mankind good will;
We bless, we praise, we worship Thee,
And glorify Thee still.
And thanks for Thy great glory give,
That fills our souls with light;
O Lord! God! Heav'nly King! the God
And Father of all might.
And Thou, begotten Son of God,
Before all time begun;
O Jesu Christ! God! Lamb of God!
The Father's only Son!
Have mercy, Thou that tak'st the sins
Of all the world away;
Have mercy Saviour of mankind
And hear us when we pray.
Thou, Lord, who with the Holy Ghost,
Whom earth and Heav'n adore;
In glory of the Father art
Most High for evermore.
