Traditional Classic Hymn: Oh the Brightness of the Glory Author: Mrs J A Trench Hymn book: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs no. 365 Tune: Will the Circle be Unbroken (8.7.8.7.D) - tune source 'Alexander Hymns no. 3' no. 15 Oh, the brightness of the glory Shining in the Saviour’s face! Telling all the blessed story Of the ways of God in grace: Lowly, hated, and rejected In the world He came to save, By the glory of the Father Raised triumphant from the grave. Centre of the Father’s counsels, He for whom all things were made! Object of the Father’s pleasure, Who the Father’s name displayed! All the Father’s will accomplished, He to death obedient trod; Now in highest glory seated, Centre of the throne of God. There we see Him crowned with glory, Glory in His unveiled face, And in peace and rest before Him In that glory learn of grace: For it shineth in the visage Of the One who for us died, Bore our sins and all their judgment, Jesus Christ the crucified. Called to share the Father’s pleasure In His well-beloved Son, Seated on His throne in heaven For the work on earth well done, We adore Him, and are waiting To behold Him face to face, In His presence praise the glory, Learn the riches of His grace.
