17- Lord of All Being, Throned Afar
Worship: Adoration and Praise
1
- Lord of all being, throned afar,
- Thy glory flames from sun and star;
- Center and soul of every sphere,
- Yet to each loving heart how near!
- Yet to each loving heart how near!
2
- Sun of our life, Thy quickening ray
- Sheds on our path the glow of day;
- Star of our hope, Thy softened light
- Cheers the long watches of the night,
- Cheers the long watches of the night.
3
- Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn;
- Our noontide is Thy gracious dawn;
- Our rainbow arch, Thy mercy's sign;
- All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine,
- All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine.
4
- Lord of all life, below, above,
- Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,
- Before Thy everblazing throne
- We ask no luster of our own,
- We ask no luster of our own.
5
- Grant us Thy truth to make us free,
- And kindling hearts that burn for Thee;
- Till all Thy living altars claim
- One holy light, one heavenly flame!
- One holy light, one heavenly flame.
