The Hymnary, Revival and Light, Life and Love
Wow is all I can say!
It seems the latter years of the
Third Great Awakening,
the great American
religious revival
(1884-1910)
were musically alive with theology
that employed the gifts of
Light, Life and Love
Check out this list of 333 first lines
I found at http://www.hymnary.org:
and a rainbow kicker...
Beautiful Rainbow of Promise |
Beautiful rainbow of promise, |
Arching the lowering sky, |
Glorious hope of tomorrow, |
Life, endless life by and by. |
Refrain: |
With joy, with joy, we bask in the sunlight of love, |
O promise of God never failing, |
We’ll rise with our Savior above. |
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! |
We’ll rise with our Savior, our Savior above. |
Rise in our hearts blessed Jesus, |
From our dead selves set us free, |
Keep us, we pray, from all evil, |
Till Thy dear face we shall see. [Refrain] |
Beautiful rainbow of promise, |
Telling of weeping long past, |
Christ, like the sun, has arisen, |
Lighting our darkness at last. [Refrain] |
Sincerely yours in Jesus through Mary,
Mike Rizzio
Imitate Mary
Become like Jesus
Live for the Triune God
Seek the Light of Our Lord Jesus Christ
See you on the High Ground!
