HYMN 22. L. M.

The Great and Glorious Gospel Light

Frederick G. Williams 1787–1842


1

The great and glorious gospel light,
Has usher’d forth into my sight,
Which in my soul I have receiv’d,
From death and bondage being freed.

2

With Saints below and Saints above,
I’ll join to praise the God I love;
Like Enoch too, I will proclaim,
A loud Hosanna to his name.

3

Hosanna, let the echo fly
From pole to pole, from sky to sky,
And Saints and angels, join to sing,
Till all eternity shall ring.

4

Hosanna, let the voice extend,
Till time shall cease, and have an end;
Till all the throngs of heav’n above,
Shall join the Saints in songs of love.

5

Hosanna, let the trump of God,
Proclaim his wonders far abroad,
And earth, and air, and skies, and seas,
Conspire to sound aloud his praise.
