[Joh 8:11] Neither Do I Condemn Thee
“Neither do I condemn thee,”
O words of wondrous grace;
Thy sins were born upon the cross,
Believe, and go in peace.Refrain
“Neither do I condemn thee,”
O sing it o’er and o’er;
“Neither do I condemn thee,
Go and sin no more.”“Neither do I condemn thee,”
For there is therefore now
No condemnation for thee,
As at the cross you bow.Refrain
“Neither do I condemn thee,”
I came not to condemn;
I came from God to save thee,
And turn thee from thy sin.Refrain
“Neither do I condemn thee,”
O praise the God of grace;
O praise His Son our Savior,
For this His word of peace.Refrain

[Joh 8:12] Eternal Beam Of Light Divine
Eternal Beam of light divine,
Fountain of unexhausted love,
In Whom the Father’s glories shine
Through earth beneath, and Heaven above;Jesu, the weary wanderer’s rest,
Give me Thy easy yoke to bear,
With steadfast patience arm my breast,
With spotless love, and lowly fear.Thankful I take the cup from Thee,
Prepared and mingled by Thy skill,
Though bitter to the taste it be,
Powerful the wounded soul to heal.Be Thou, O Rock of ages, nigh!
So shall each murmuring thought be gone,
And grief, and fear, and care, shall fly,
As clouds before the mid-day sun.Speak to my warring passions, “Peace!”
Say to my trembling heart, “Be still!”
Thy power my strength and fortress is,
For all things serve Thy sovereign will.O death! where is thy sting? Where now
Thy boasted victory, O grave?
Who shall contend with God? or who
Can hurt whom God delights to save?Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Joh 8:12] Follow The Gleam
To the knights in the days of old,
Keeping watch on the mountain height,
Came a vision of Holy Grail
And a voice through the waiting night:
Follow, follow, follow the gleam;
Banners unfurled o’er all the world;
Follow, follow, follow the gleam
Of the chalice that is the Grail.And we who would serve the King,
And loyally Him obey,
In the consecrate silence know
That the challenge still holds today,
Follow, follow, follow the gleam
Standards of worth o’er all the earth;
Follow, follow, follow the gleam
Of the Light that shall bring the dawn.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Reflects the Father’s love.Refrain

Ever walk in the Light of God;
Let us walk in the Light,
Ever walk in the Light of God.There is a Light, a glorious Light,
That falls upon our way;
And brighter shineth as we go,
Till lost in perfect day.Refrain
There is a Light, a Holy Light,
By which we now behold
The jasper walls, the pearly gates
And streets of shining gold.Refrain
O blessèd, blessèd, Holy Light,
To all so freely giv’n;
Shine forth, shine forth, O Light of Life,
And guide us safe to Heav’n.Refrain

[Joh 8:12] Light Of Bethlehem, The
’Tis Christmas night, the pure snow a flock unnumbered lies;
The old Judean flocks aglow keep watch within the skies
An icy stillness closer holds the pulses of the breathless night,
And all the Christmas night, the angel stars shine bright
For Bethlehem’s light, for Bethlehem’s light.A mystery deeper still folds the wondering hosts of light,
Till, lo, with holy reverence pale, that dims each diadem,
The lordliest bending, hail the living light of Bethlehem,
Glad Bethlehem’s living light, the holy Christmas light,
Glad Bethlehem’s light, the living light.source: Cyberhymnal -
[Joh 8:12] Light Of The World! Faint Were Our Weary Feet
Light of the world! Faint were our weary feet
With wand’ring far;
But Thou didst come, our lonely heart to greet,
Our Morning Star;
And Thou didst bid us lift our gaze on high
And see the glory of the glowing sky.In days long past we missed our homeward way,
We could not see;
Blind were our eyes, our feet were bound to stray,
How blind to Thee!
But Thou didst pity, Lord, our gloomy plight,
And Thou didst touch our eyes and give them sight.Where is death’s sting, where, grave, thy victory?
Where all the pain,
Now that thy King the veil that hung o’er thee
Hath rent in twain?
Light of the world, we hear Thee bid us come
To light and love, in Thine eternal home.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

True Light of life, all joy and health enshrining,

Today shines as the past;
All that Thou wast Thou art and shalt be ever,
Brightness from first to last.Night visits not Thy sky, nor storm, nor sadness;
Day fills up all its blue—
Unfailing beauty, and unfaltering gladness,
And lover forever new.Light of the world! undimming and unsetting,
O shine each mist away;
Banish the fear, the falsehood, and the fretting;
Be our unchanging Day.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

[Joh 8:12] Light Of The World, We Hail Thee
Light of the world, we hail Thee, flushing the eastern skies;
Never shall darkness veil Thee again from human eyes;
Too long, alas, withholden, now spread from shore to shore;
Thy light, so glad and golden, shall set on earth no more.Light of the world, Thy beauty steals into every heart,
And glorifies with duty life’s poorest, humblest, part;
Thou robest in Thy splendor the simple ways of men,
And helpest them to render light back to Thee again.Light of the world, before Thee our spirits prostrate fall;
We worship, we adore Thee, Thou Light, the Life of all;
With Thee is no forgetting of all Thine hand hath made;
Thy rising hath no setting, Thy sunshine hath no shade.Light of the world, illumine this darkened earth of Thine,
Till everything that’s human be filled with what’s divine;
Till every tongue and nation, from sin’s dominion free,
Rise in the new creation which springs from love and Thee.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Light of the world! Whose kind and gentle care
Is joy and rest;
Whose counsels and commands so gracious are,
Wisest and best;
Shine on my path, dear Lord, and guard the way,
Lest my poor heart, forgetting, go astray.Lord of my life! my soul’s most pure desire,
Its hope and peace;
Let not the faith Thy loving words inspire
Falter, or cease;
But be to me, true Friend, my chief delight,
And safely guide, that every step be right.My blessèd Lord! what bliss to feel Thee near,
Faithful and true;
To trust in Thee, without one doubt or fear,
Thy will to do.

Art blessing us, and wilt bless to the end.And then, O then! when sorrow’s night is o’er,
Life’s daylight come,
And we are safe within Heaven’s golden door,
At home! at home!

Light of the world’s dark story,
Jesus, Thy Name we praise;
Thou art the Lord of glory,
The brightness of our days.
We would go singing, singing,
Along our pilgrim road,
With love and hope upwinging,
Haste to our fixed abode.Joy for the world’s salvation
Wrought amid sins and fears,
Man’s glorious consummation
Shining beyond our tears.
Songs in the room of sighing,
Joy in despite of woe,
On God’s good care relying
That leads us as we go.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Joh 8:12] Lo! Golden Light Rekindles Day
Lo! golden light rekindles day:
Let paling darkness steal away,
Which all too long o’erwhelmed our gaze
And led our steps by winding ways.We pray Thee, rising Light serene,
E’en as Thyself our hearts make clean;
Let no deceit our lips defile,
Nor let our souls be vexed by guile.O keep us, as the hours proceed,
From lying word and evil deed;
Our roving eyes from sin set free,
Our body from impurity.For Thou dost from above survey
The converse of each fleeting day;
Thou dost foresee from morning light
Our every deed, until the night.All laud to the God the Father be,
All praise, eternal Son, to Thee;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Wide the gates of morning open,
Spreading far o’er land and sea,
Softly, gently passing thro’ them
Comes the morning light to me.Refrain
O blessèd morning light;
The Savior is that light;
He says it today as He said it of old,
“I am the light of the world.”Blessèd are the beams of glory,
Streaming thro’ the gates ajar,
Where the love of ages dwelling,
Shines upon us from afar.Refrain
So we wander, lone and helpless,
Hoping for a better day;
But we feel that God is near us,
When we see the heav’nly ray.Refrain

The eternal splendor wearing; celestial, holy blessed,
Our Savior Jesus Christ, joyful in Your appearing!As fades the day’s last light we see the lamps of night,
Our common hymn outpouring, O God of might unknown,

The world does glorify and shall exalt forever.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Joh 8:12] O Light Of Life
O Light of life, O Savior dear,
Before we sleep, bow down Thine ear;
Through dark and day, o’er land and sea,
We have no other hope but Thee.Oft from Thy royal road we part,
Lost in the mazes of the heart;
Our lamps put out, our course forgot,
We seek for God, and find Him not.What sudden sunbeams cheer our sight!
What dawning risen upon the night!
Thou giv’st Thyself to us, and we
Find Guide and Path and all in Thee.Through day and darkness, Savior dear,
Abide with us, more nearly near;
Till on Thy face we lift our eyes,
The Sun of God’s own paradise.Praise God, our Maker and our Friend;
Praise Him through time, till time shall end;
Till psalm and song His Name adore
Through heaven’s great day of evermore.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Joh 8:12] O Light, Whose Beams Illumine All
O Light, whose beams illumine all
From twilight dawn to perfect day,
Shine Thou before the shadows fall
That lead our wandering feet astray;
At morn and eve Thy radiance pour
That youth may love, and age adore.O Way, through Whom our souls draw near
To yon eternal home of peace,
Where perfect love shall cast our fear,
And earth’s vain toil and wandering cease;
In strength or weakness may we see
Our heavenward path, O Lord, through Thee.O Truth, before Whose shrine we bow,
Thou priceless Pearl for all who seek,
To Thee our earliest strength we vow,
Thy love will bless the pure and meek;
When dreams or mists beguile our sight,
Turn Thou our darkness into light.O Life, the Well that ever flows
To slake the thirst of those that faint,
Thy power to bless what seraph knows?
Thy joy supreme what words can paint?
In earth’s last hour of fleeting breath
Be Thou our Conqueror over death.O Light, O Way, O Truth, O Life,
O Jesus, born mankind to save,
Give Thou Thy peace in deadliest strife,
Shed Thou Thy calm on stormiest wave;
Be Thou our hope, our joy, our dread,
Lord of the living and the dead.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Joh 8:18] O Thou Who At Thy Creature’s Bar
O Thou who at Thy creature’s bar
Thy glorious Godhead didst declare,
A true and good confession make;
Come in Thy Spirit from above
And arm me with Thy faithful love,
For Thy own truth and mercy’s sake.
Called forth by Thee Thou know’st I am,
Thy truth and mercy to proclaim,
Thy Godhead, and eternal power,
The man whom God His fellow owns,
Whom angel-powers, dominions, thrones
Through all eternity adore.Thee, high enthroned above all height,
Thee God of God, and Light of Light,
I come undaunted to confess,
With God essentially the same,
JEHOVAH, JAH, the great I AM,
The Lord of Hosts, the Prince of Peace.
The sovereign, everlasting Lord,
The glorious, unbeginning Word,
The Son of God, the Son of Man,
God over heaven and earth supreme
Made flesh Thy creature to redeem,
For me incarnated, and slain.Slain for a sinful world, and me,
Our Surety hung upon the tree;
Thy body bore our guilty load:
My Lamb for sin an offering made,
The debt of all mankind hath paid,
And bought, and sprinkled us with blood.
That blood applied by faith I feel,
And come its healing power to tell,
Through which I know my sins forgiven
A witness I, that all may find
The peace deserved for all mankind,
And walk with God, my God, to heaven.I come to testify the grace
My Lord obtained for all our race,
Enough ten thousand worlds to save;
Salvation is in Jesu’s Name,
Which every soul of man may claim,
And all that seek the grace, shall have.
Salvation from the power of sin,
Salvation from the root within,
Salvation into perfect love,
(Thy grace to all hath brought it near,)
An uttermost salvation here,
Salvation up to heaven above.Thy power and saving grace to show,
A warfare at Thy charge I go,
Strong in the Lord, and Thy great might,
Gladly take up the hallowed cross,
And suffering all things for Thy cause,
Beneath that bloody banner fight.
A spectacle to fiends and men,
To all their fierce or cool disdain
With calmest pity I submit;
Determined naught to know beside
My Jesus, and Him crucified,
I tread the world beneath my feet.Superior to their smile, or frown,
On all their goods my soul looks down,
Their pleasures, wealth, and pomp, and state:
The man that dares their god despise,
The Christian, he alone is wise!
The Christian, he alone is great!
O God, let all my life declare
How happy all Thy servants are,
How far above these earthly things,
How pure when washed in Jesu’s blood,
How intimately one with God,
An heaven-born race of priests and kings.For this alone I live below,
The power of godliness to show,
The wonders wrought by Jesu’s Name.
O that I may but faithful prove,
Witness to all Thy pardoning love,
And point them to th’atoning Lamb!
Let me to every creature cry,
The poor and rich, the low and high,
“Believe, and feel thy sins forgiven!
Damned, till by Jesus saved, thou art,
Till Jesu’s blood hath washed thy heart
Thou canst not find the gate of heaven.”Thou, Jesu, Thou my breast inspire,
And touch my lips with hallowed fire,
And loose a stammering infant’s tongue;
Prepare the vessel of Thy grace,
Adorn me with the robes of praise,
And mercy shall be all my song.
Mercy for those that know not God,
Mercy for all, in Jesu’s blood,
Mercy that earth and heaven transcends;
Love, that overwhelms the saints in light,
The length, and breadth, and depth, and height
Of love Divine, which never ends.A faithful witness of Thy grace,
Long may I fill th’allotted space,
And answer all Thy great design;
Walk in the works by Thee prepared,
And find annexed the vast reward,
The crown of righteousness Divine.
When I have lived to Thee alone
Pronounce the welcome word, Well done,
And let me take my place above,
Enter into my Master’s joy,
And all eternity employ
In praise, and ecstasy, and love.Play source: Cyberhymnal
