A-men. 1 THE Spirit breathes upon the word, And brings the truth to sight; Precepts and promises afford A sanctifying light. 2 A glory gilds the sacred page, It gives a light to every age; 3 The hand that gave it still supplies 4 Let everlasting thanks be Thine, For such a bright display As makes a world of darkness shine With beams of heavenly day. William Cowper, 1779 Truth un-changed, un- changing, O Light of our dark sky, 3 It floateth like a banner 4 O make Thy Church, dear Saviour, Thy true light, as of old. Wm. Walsham How, 1867 |
