Eternal Light! Eternal Light! (Hymn 39)

Click "Show More" For Full Song Lyrics

1. Eternal Light! Eternal Light!
How pure that 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 surely that is theirs alone
Who, undefiled, have 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 means prepare us for the sight,
Of holiness above.
The sons of ignorance and night
May dwell in the eternal light
Through the Eternal love!

Amen and amen!

[CrabMeatElite]

Praise God for His wonderful grace in verse 5: The sons of ignorance and night may dwell in the eternal light through the eternal love! Reminds me of Ephesians 5:13-14!

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord

For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
