• [1Jo 1:5] Father Of Lights

  Father of lights, in Whom there is no shadow, Giver of every good and perfect gift! With one accord we seek Thy holy presence, Gladly our hearts to Thee in praise we lift. Glad for the cause that binds our lives together, Through Thee united, worshiping as one; Glad for the crowning gift that Thou hast given, Sending, to light the world, Thine only Son. Light of the world, through Whom we know the Father! Pour out upon us Thine abiding love, That we may know its depth and height and splendor, That heaven may come to earth from heaven above. Thou art the Christ! To Thee we own allegiance. May our devotion sweep from sea to sea, Even as we, the gift from Thee receiving, Joyfully minister that gift for Thee.

• [1Jo 1:5] Heavenly Sunlight

  Walking in sunlight all of my journey; Over the mountains, through the deep vale; Jesus has said, “I’ll never forsake thee,” Promise divine that never can fail. Refrain Heavenly sunlight, heavenly sunlight, Flooding my soul with glory divine: Hallelujah, I am rejoicing, Singing His praises, Jesus is mine. Shadows around me, shadows above me, Never conceal my Savior and Guide; He is the Light, in Him is no darkness; Ever I’m walking close to His side. Refrain In the bright sunlight, ever rejoicing, Pressing my way to mansions above; Singing His praises gladly I’m walking, Walking in sunlight, sunlight of love. Refrain

• [1Jo 1:5] Holy Spirit, Lord Of Light

  Holy Spirit, Lord of light, From Thy clear celestial height Thy pure beaming radiance give. Come, Thou Father of the poor, Come with treasures which endure, Come, Thou Light of all that live. Thou, of all consolers best, Thou, the soul’s delightsome Guest, Dost refreshing peace bestow. Thou in toil art comfort sweet, Pleasant coolness in the heat, Solace in the midst of woe. Light immortal, Light divine, Visit Thou these hearts of Thine, And our inmost being fill. If Thou take Thy grace away, Nothing pure in man will stay; All his good is turned to ill. Heal our wounds; our strength renew; On our dryness pour Thy dew; Wash the stains of guilt away. Bend the stubborn heart and will; Melt the frozen, warm the chill; Guide the steps that go astray. Thou, on those who evermore Thee confess and Thee adore, In Thy sevenfold gifts descend: Give them comfort when they die, Give them life with Thee on high; Give them joys that never end.

• [1Jo 1:5] Light Of Light, Enlighten Me

  Light of Light, enlighten me, Now anew the day is dawning; Sun of grace, the shadows flee; Brighten Thou my Sabbath morning; With Thy joyous sunshine blest, Happy is my day of rest. Fount of all our joy and peace, To Thy living waters lead me; Thou from earth my soul release, And with grace and mercy feed me; Bless Thy word, that it may prove Rich in fruits that Thou dost love. Kindle Thou the sacrifice That upon my lips is lying; Clear the shadows from my eyes, That, from every error flying, No strange fire may in me glow That Thine altar doth not know. Let me with my heart today, Holy, Holy, Holy singing, Rapt awhile from earth away, All my soul to Thee upbringing, Have a foretaste inly given How they worship Thee in heaven. Rest in me, and I in Thee; Build a paradise within me; O reveal Thyself to me, Blessèd Love, who diedst to win me; Fed from Thine exhaustless urn, Pure and bright my lamp shall burn. Hence all care, all vanity, For the day to God is holy; Come, Thou glorious majesty, Deign to fill this temple lowly; Naught today my soul shall move, Simply resting in Thy love.

• [1Jo 1:5] O God Of Light

  O God of light, O God of love, Shine on my soul from Heaven above! Let sin appear in Thy pure ray As black as on the judgment day; Let perfect love apply the test, And all that’s wrong make manifest. O take Thy plummet and Thy line, Apply them to this heart of mine, And thus reveal each crooked place, By contrast with true righteousness! Let holy truth condemn each sham; Show what Thou art, and what I am. O smite and spare not, faithful God! A Father’s hand still holds the rod; O make my sin-stained conscience smart, And write Thy law upon my heart So plainly, that my will shall bow In full surrender, here and now! Work on in me Thy perfect will, In me Thy promise, Lord, fulfill; O make me quick to fight for Thee, And set my soul in liberty! My soul can rest in nothing less Than in a spotless holiness.

• [1Jo 1:5] O Light That Knew No Dawn

  O Light that knew no dawn, That shines to endless day, All things in earth and Heav’n Are lustered by Thy ray; No eye can to Thy throne ascend, Nor mind Thy brightness comprehend. Thy grace, O Father, give, That I might serve in fear; Above all boons, I pray, Grant me Thy voice to hear; From sin Thy child in mercy free, And let me dwell in light with Thee. That, cleansed from stain of sin, I may meet homage give; And pure in heart, behold Thy beauty while I live; Clean hands in holy worship raise, And Thee, O Christ my Savior, praise. In supplication meek To Thee I bend the knee; O Christ, when Thou shalt come, In love remember me, And in Thy kingdom, by Thy grace, Grant me a humble servant’s place. Thy grace, O Father, give, I humbly Thee implore; And let Thy mercy bless Thy servant more and more. All grace and glory be to Thee, From age to age eternally.

• [1Jo 1:5] O Unity Of Threefold Light

  O Unity of threefold light, Send out Thy loveliest ray, Add scatter our transgressions’ night, And turn it into day; Make us those temples pure and fair Thy glory loveth well, The spotless tabernacles, where Thou may’st vouchsafe to dwell. The glorious hosts of peerless might, That ever see Thy face, Thou mak’st the mirrors of Thy light, The vessels of Thy grace. Thou, when their wondrous strains they weave, Hast pleasure in the lay: Deign thus our praises to receive, Albeit from lips of clay. And yet Thyself they cannot know, Nor pierce the veil of light That hides Thee from the thrones below, As in profoundest night. How then can mortal accents frame Due tribute to their King? Thou, only, while we praise Thy Name, Forgive us as we sing.

1 John 1:9

• [1Jo 1:9] Father, Whose Love We Have Wronged By Transgression

  Father, whose love we have wronged by transgression Christ, who wast nailed for our sins on the tree, Spirit, who givest the grace of repentance; Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord. Jesu, adorable Savior of sinners, Author of penitence, Hope of our souls, Plentiful Fountain of grace and compassion; Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord. Thou Who didst empty Thyself of Thy glory, Thou Who Thy parents on earth didst obey, Thou Who for our sake enduredst temptation, Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord. Thou Who hast shown us the love of the Father, Meeting with mercy the prodigal son, Sonship and home to the lost one restoring, Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord. Jesu, who once by the well to the sinner Clearly the sins of her heart did reveal, Leading her gently to faith and repentance, Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord. Thou Who didst enter the house of Zaccheus, Blessing his faith and accepting his love, When for wrongdoing he made restitution, Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord. Christ, with the Twelve the last Passover keeping, Ere on the cross the true Lamb should be slain, Sacrifice offered for all and for ever, Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord. Jesu, alone with the blood-sweat upon Thee, Jesu, in agony bowed to the earth, Jesu, Thy will to the Father resigning, Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord. Jesu, from Annas to Caiaphas hurried, Blindfolded, stricken, and falsely accused, Rudely blasphemed, and declared a blasphemer, Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord. Jesu, denied by Thine eager Apostle, Whom with a look Thou didst straightway recall, Moving him straightway to tears and contrition; Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord. Thou Who wast wounded to heal our transgression, Lifted on high to draw all men to Thee, There on the cross in Thy majesty reigning, Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord. That Thou wouldst draw us to heartfelt contrition, That Thou wouldst help us our sins to confess, That Thou wouldst grant us the grace of amendment, Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord. That we may bring forth works meet for repentance, That we give place to the devil no more, That Thou wouldst lead us to sure perseverance, Hear us, we pray Thee, good Lord.

• [1Jo 1:9] He, Whose Confession God Of Old Accepted

  He, whose confession God of old accepted, Whom through the ages all now hold in honor, Gaining his guerdon this day came to enter Heaven’s high portal. God-fearing, watchful, pure of mind and body, Holy and humble, thus did all men find him, While, through his members, to the life immortal Mortal life called him. Thus to the weary, from the life enshrinèd, Potent in virtue, flowed humane compassion; Sick and sore laden, howsoever burdened, There they found healing. So now in chorus, giving God the glory, Raise we our anthem gladly to his honor, That in fair kinship we may all be sharers Here and hereafter. Honor and glory, power and salvation, Be in the highest unto Him Who reigneth Changeless in Heaven over earthly changes Triune, eternal.

• [1Jo 1:9] No, Not Despairingly

  No, not despairingly come I to Thee; No, not distrustingly bend I the knee: Sin hath gone over me, yet is this still my plea, Jesus hath died. Ah! mine iniquity crimson hath been, Infinite, infinite—sin upon sin: Sin of not loving Thee, sin of not trusting Thee— Infinite sin. Lord, I confess to Thee sadly my sin; All I am tell with Thee, all I have been: Purge Thou my sin away, wash Thou my soul this day; Lord, make me clean. Faithful and just art Thou, forgiving all; Loving and kind art Thou when poor ones call: Lord, let the cleansing blood, blood of the Lamb of God, Pass o’er my soul. Then all is peace and light this soul within; Thus shall I walk with Thee, the loved Unseen; Leaning on Thee, my God, guided along the road, Nothing between.

• [1Jo 1:9] O God, To Know That Thou Art Just

  O God, to know that Thou art just Gives hope and peace within; We could not in a mercy trust Which takes no count of sin. I fain would open to Thy sight My utmost wickedness; Set, Lord, in Thy most searching light What I have done amiss. No stern and needless law was Thine— Hard to be understood— But plainly read in every line, Holy, and just, and good. Though basely weak my fallen race, And masterful my foes, I had th’omnipotence of grace To conquer, if I chose. Well did I know the tender Heart I outraged by my sin, Yet with the world I would not part, Nor reign my passions in. My fault it was, O Lord, most high, And not my fate alone: Thou canst not suffer sin, nor I In any way atone. Yet there’s a plea that I may trust— Christ died that I might live! Cleanse me, my God, for Thou art just; Be faithful, and forgive.
