ETERNAL Light! Eternal Light!
how pure the soul must be,
when, placed within Thy searching sight,
it shrinks not, but with calm delight
can live and look on Thee.
2 The spirits that surround Thy throne
may bear the burning bliss;
but that is surely theirs alone,
since they have never, never known
a fallen world like this.
3 O how shall I, whose native sphere
is dark, whose mind is dim,
before the Ineffable appear,
and on my naked spirit bear
the uncreated beam?
4 There is a way for man to rise
to that sublime abode:
an offering and a sacrifice,
a Holy Spirit’s energies,
an Advocate with God.
5 These, these prepare us for the sight
of holiness above;
the sons of ignorance and night
can dwell in the eternal Light,
through the eternal Love.
Thomas Binney, 1798-1874

ACCORDING to Thy gracious Word,
in meek humility,
this will I do, my dying Lord,
I will remember Thee.
2 Thy body, broken for my sake,
my bread from heaven shall be;
Thy covenantal cup I take,
and thus remember Thee.
3 Gethsemane can I forget?
Or there Thy conflict see,
Thine agony and bloody sweat,
and not remember Thee?
4 When to the cross I turn my eyes,
and rest on Calvary,
O Lamb of God, my sacrifice!
I must remember Thee:
5 Remember Thee, and all Thy pains,
and all Thy love to me:
yes, while a breath, a pulse remains,
will I remember Thee.
6 And when these failing lips grow dumb,
and mind and memory flee,
when Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come,
Jesus, remember me.
James Montgomery, 1771-1854

WHEN this passing world is done,
when has sunk yon radiant sun,
when I stand with Christ on high,
looking o’er life’s history,
then, Lord, shall I fully know,
not till then, how much I owe.
2 When I stand before the throne,
dressed in beauty not my own,
when I see Thee as Thou art,
love Thee with unsinning heart,
then, Lord, shall I fully know,
not till then, how much I owe.
3 When the praise of heaven I hear,
loud as thunders to the ear,
loud as many waters’ noise,
sweet as harp’s melodious voice,
then, Lord, shall I fully know,
not till then, how much I owe.
4 Chosen, not for good in me,
wakened up from wrath to flee,
hidden in the Saviour’s side,
by the Spirit sanctified,
teach me, Lord, on earth to show
by my love how much I owe.
Robert Murray M’Cheyne, 1813-43

TELL me the old, old story
of unseen things above,
of Jesus and His glory,
of Jesus and His love.
Tell me the story simply
as to a little child,
for I am weak and weary,
and helpless and defiled.
Tell me the old, old story,
tell me the old, old story,
tell me the old, old story,
of Jesus and His love.
2 Tell me the story slowly,
that I may take it in –
that wonderful redemption,
God’s remedy for sin.
Tell me the story often,
for I forget so soon;
the early dew of morning
has passed away at noon.
3 Tell me the story softly,
with earnest tones and grave:
remember, I’m the sinner
whom Jesus came to save.
Tell me that story always,
if you would really be,
in any time of trouble,
a comforter to me.
4 Tell me the same old story
when you have cause to fear
that this world’s empty glory
is costing me too dear.
Yes, and when that world’s glory
is dawning on my soul,
tell me the old, old story –
Christ Jesus makes you whole.
