MHB 980 – O LIGHT, from age to age the same

Methodist-Hymns-980

1: O LIGHT, from age to age the same,
O ever-living Word,
Here have we felt Thy kindling flame,
Thy voice within have heard.

2: Here holy thought and hymn and prayer
Have winged the Spirit’s powers,
And made these walls divinely fair,
Thy temple, Lord, and ours.

3: What visions rise above the years;
What tender memories throng,
Till the eye fills with happy tears,
The heart with happy song.

4: Vanish the mists of time and sense;
They come, the loved of yore,
And one encircling providence
Holds all for evermore.

5: O not in vain their toil who wrought
To build faith’s freer shrine;
Nor theirs whose steadfast love and thought
Have watched the fire divine.

6: Burn, holy Fire, and shine more wide!
While nations rise and fall,
Faith, hope, and charity abide,
The heart and soul of all.
