|
<p>Rise, Thou Light of Gentile nations,<br>
|
|
Jesus, bright and Morning Star;<br>
|
|
Let Thy Word, the gladsome tidings,<br>
|
|
Ring out loudly near and far,<br>
|
|
Bringing freedom to the captives,<br>
|
|
Peace and comfort to the slave,<br>
|
|
That the heathen, free from bondage,<br>
|
|
May proclaim Thy power to save.
|
|
<p>See the blindness of the heathen,<br>
|
|
Strangers to Thy glorious light,<br>
|
|
Straying hopeless till they find Thee,<br>
|
|
Wandering aimless in the night.<br>
|
|
See their pitiful condition;<br>
|
|
Lo, gross darkness covers all,<br>
|
|
And no ray of hope refreshes<br>
|
|
Nor dispels the dreadful pall.</p>
|
|
<p>If Thou, merciful Redeemer,<br>
|
|
Hadst not saved us from this plight,<br>
|
|
In like darkness we would languish<br>
|
|
Hopeless, helpless, in sin’s night.<br>
|
|
Lovingly Thou, Lord, didst seek us<br>
|
|
In the beauty of Thy grace;<br>
|
|
Now with joy we freely serve Thee,<br>
|
|
We, Thy blessèd, chosen race.</p>
|
|
<p>Knowing Thee and Thy salvation,<br>
|
|
Grateful love dare never cease<br>
|
|
To proclaim Thy tender mercies,<br>
|
|
Gracious Lord, Thy heavenly peace.<br>
|
|
Sound we forth the Gospel tidings<br>
|
|
To the earth’s remotest bound<br>
|
|
That the sinner has been pardoned<br>
|
|
And forgiveness can be found.</p>
