8.7.8.7 [391]Batty: Moravian Melody, 1745 [392]Sardis: From Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827); Adapted Charles Wesley, 1744 Light of those whose dreary dwelling Borders on the shades of death, Jesus, now thyself revealing, Scatter every cloud beneath. Still we wait for thine appearing; Life and joy thy beams impart, Chasing all our doubts, and cheering Every meek and contrite heart. Show thy power in every nation, O thou Prince of Peace and Love! Give the knowledge of salvation, Fix our hearts on things above. By thine all-sufficient merit, Every burdened soul release; By the presence of thy Spirit, Guide us into perfect peace. Amen. |
