Eternal Maker
Eternal Maker, Lord of light,
You rule the day, You crown the night.
You set the rhythm time obeys,
And lift our hearts in songs of praise.
The herald calls, the shadows flee,
Your mercy wakes the world and me.
Eternal Maker, dawn of grace,
Shine Your truth in every place;
Darkness falls, but You remain—
Light of the world, forever reign!
The storm grows calm beneath Your hand,
The weary rise, the faithful stand;
A stone restored, his tears are dried
One broken healed, his loss supplied
The rooster cries, the sleepers wake,
Hope returns for mercy’s sake.
Eternal Maker, dawn of grace,
Shine Your truth in every place;
Darkness falls, but You remain—
Light of the world, forever reign!
Look on the hearts that wander far,
Your gaze can heal each hidden scar;
Awake our souls from sin’s disguise,
Let faith like morning light arise!
Eternal Maker, dawn of grace,
Shine Your truth in every place;
Darkness falls, but You remain—
Light of the world, forever reign!
Through every night, through every dawn,
Your endless light is leading on.
Creator of All
O God, Creator of the skies,
Who set the sun and stars to rise,
You clothe the day in golden light,
And bless the world with peace tonight.
The work is done, the shadows fall,
Your mercy holds and heals us all.
Creator of all, our rest, our stay,
Guard every heart till break of day;
When darkness comes, still let us see—
The night made bright by faith in Thee.
You lift the weary, calm the mind,
And leave no wounded soul behind;
Our voices sing, our hearts adore,
The One we need forevermore.
Through fading light Your love is near,
Our peace beyond all earthly fear.
Creator of all, our rest, our stay,
Guard every heart till break of day;
When darkness comes, still let us see—
The night made bright by faith in Thee.
Let dreams be pure, let tempers sleep,
Let faith its holy vigil keep;
No fear disturb, no shadows bind—
Your light remains within the mind.
Creator of all, our rest, our stay,
Guard every heart till break of day;
When darkness comes, still let us see—
The night made bright by faith in Thee.
O Father, Son, and Spirit One,
Eternal love, Thy will be done.
The Third Hour
The third hour burns the morning sky,
The hour the Lamb was lifted high.
Pride falls quiet, hearts awake—
We pray, we watch, we break.
When love is nailed, the world can see,
The chains are gone, the soul is free.
At the third hour, mercy reigns,
Blood and water wash our stains;
Heaven opens, darkness dies—
At the third hour, we come alive.
This hour ends the reign of sin,
A brand-new world begins within;
Faith ignites, the Church is born,
Hope sings where hearts were torn.
Your Spirit moves through every land,
Truth rising from Your wounded hand.
At the third hour, mercy reigns,
Blood and water wash our stains;
Heaven opens, darkness dies—
At the third hour, we come alive.
“Behold your son! Behold your mother!”
The voice of love binds all together;
From word and wound the family starts,
One beating cross of living hearts.
God made flesh, the Virgin’s child,
He bore our sin, He reconciled;
The grave gave way, the light returned—
For every soul His glory burns.
At the third hour, mercy reigns,
Blood and water wash our stains;
Heaven opens, darkness dies—
At the third hour, we come alive.
At the third hour, mercy reigns,
Grace forever, love remains;
Heaven opens, darkness dies—
At the third hour, we come alive.
The third hour shines beyond the years—
Love’s voice still conquers fear.
Redeemer of the Nations
Come, Redeemer of the nations,
Show the wonder of Your birth;
Let every heart in silence stand—
God has walked upon the earth.
Not born of mortal seed or flame,
But Spirit-breathed, divine;
The Word of God took human frame,
And life became our sign.
The Virgin bore the light of grace,
Her honor still untorn;
The temple stands, the banners rise—
The Mighty One is born.
Redeemer of the nations, come,
And set this world alight;
The darkness fades, the dawn appears,
Our hearts are filled with light.
From heaven’s hall You came to run
The race of love and pain;
You crossed the depths, then rose again—
And opened heaven’s gate.
Equal with the Eternal One,
You wore our mortal clay;
You strengthened what was weak in us,
And taught our hearts to stay.
Redeemer of the nations, come,
And set this world alight;
The darkness fades, the dawn appears,
Our hearts are filled with light.
Behold, the manger shines tonight,
The stars in wonder sing;
No shadow stands before Your flame—
O Christ, eternal King.
Signs of the Savior
O Highest One who lights the stars,
True Peace, and Life, and Way;
O Jesus, Light and Truth of all,
Hear us who humbly pray.
You stood within the Jordan’s stream,
To bless its holy flow;
The waters turned in trembling awe,
Their Maker now they know.
The star that marked the Virgin’s child
Still burns across the skies;
And by its flame the seekers come
To worship where You lie.
Signs of the Savior, wonders of grace,
Heaven and earth behold Your face;
Every miracle calls Your name—
Jesus, forever the same.
At Cana’s feast the jars were filled,
The water turned to wine;
Creation blushed with holy joy,
The power was all divine.
You fed the crowds with broken bread,
And still the loaves increased;
The hungry hearts were satisfied,
The Lord Himself their feast.
Signs of the Savior, wonders of grace,
Heaven and earth behold Your face;
Every miracle calls Your name—
Jesus, forever the same.
The streams still sing, the stars still shine,
Your glory never wanes;
O Light of light, our hearts proclaim—
The Savior lives and reigns.
Signs of the Savior, wonders of grace,
Heaven and earth behold Your face;
Every miracle calls Your name—
Jesus, forever the same.
Heart and Spirit
Heart and spirit—one fire,
Rising higher, rising higher.
Heart and spirit, never fade—
Love unbroken, unafraid.
When the noise takes hold,
Let truth unfold—
Heart and spirit, stay bold.
Heart and spirit, never fade—
Love unbroken, unafraid.
Brightness of the Father’s Glory
Brightness of the Father’s glory,
Light from Light, eternal Son;
Morning dawn of endless mercy,
Day from which all days are sprung.
O true and everlasting Sun,
Pour down Your holy flame;
Shine with the Spirit’s living fire,
And set our hearts ablaze.
O Father, Lord of endless grace,
Remove the stains of sin;
Shape every work our hands may touch,
And light our hearts within.
Shine, O Christ, through all we are,
Let faith burn bright, let hope reach far;
You are the flame that will not fade—
The dawn by which we’re made.
Direct our minds, our bodies keep
In purity and peace;
Let faith burn warm, let love be strong,
Let every shadow cease.
With Christ our food, our bread and wine,
The Spirit’s song our rest;
A sober joy, a holy fire,
Alive within our chest.
Shine, O Christ, through all we are,
Let faith burn bright, let hope reach far;
You are the flame that will not fade—
The dawn by which we’re made.
Rise within us, radiant Lord,
Through Father and through Word;
Till all the world reflects Your light—
The brightness of the Lord.
The Eternal Gifts of Christ
The lasting gifts of Christ our Lord,
The triumphs of the saints;
With joyful hearts we lift our song,
And praise the One who reigns.
They are the captains of the Church,
Victorious in the fight;
The soldiers of the courts of heaven,
True lamps that pierce the night.
They conquered fear, despised the pain,
The body’s wounds they bore;
Through holy death they entered life,
To live forevermore.
The eternal gifts of Christ remain,
The blood, the hope, the holy flame;
Through every storm, through every cost,
We stand beneath the cross.
The fire could not consume their hearts,
The beasts could not destroy;
Their courage blazed, their faith endured,
Their souls were filled with joy.
Their faith unbroken, hope unbowed,
Love stronger than the grave;
The world’s dark prince was overcome—
The Lamb of God still saves.
The eternal gifts of Christ remain,
The blood, the hope, the holy flame;
Through every storm, through every cost,
We stand beneath the cross.
In them the Father’s glory shines,
The Spirit fills the sky;
O Christ, unite us with the saints,
And lift our hearts on high.
After the Night
Our limbs refreshed by quiet sleep,
We rise to see the day;
O Father, hear the song we bring,
Be near us as we pray.
Let first our tongues give praise to You,
Let hearts be pure and true;
May every act that follows now
Begin and end in You.
Let darkness yield to rising light,
Let night give way to flame;
And sin that crept through evening’s fall
Be washed in dawn again.
After the night, the light returns,
Grace awakens, mercy burns;
You lift us up, our hearts renewed—
All morning shines with You.
We beg You, Lord, remove our wrongs,
Restore the love we’ve lost;
That every voice that sings Your name
May praise You without cost.
Most holy Father, hear our song,
And You, O equal Son;
With Spirit bright and ever near,
Forever make us one.
After the night, the light returns,
Grace awakens, mercy burns;
You lift us up, our hearts renewed—
All morning shines with You.
From sleep to song, from dark to day,
Your mercy leads us through;
After the night, the light remains—
Eternal, strong, and true.
Light of the Father
O Light that shares the Father’s light,
The Day that will not fade;
With song we break the night apart,
And rise in love remade.
Drive out the shadows of the mind,
Cast out the fears within;
Awaken hearts that drift in sleep,
And cleanse the weight of sin.
Let holy fire consume the dark,
Let weary eyes be clear;
Revive the soul that’s grown too still,
And draw Your presence near.
Light of the Father, shine again,
Through every heart, through every man;
Let every dawn repeat Your call—
You are the Light of all.
The powers of night can hold no sway,
Where faith begins to sing;
The trembling heart grows strong in You,
And hope is born again.
Grant grace to all who trust Your name,
Your mercy never ends;
Let every prayer and every song
Bring healing where it bends.
Light of the Father, shine again,
Through every heart, through every man;
Let every dawn repeat Your call—
You are the Light of all.
O radiant Christ, eternal flame,
Be near us as we stand;
Light of the Father, shine within—
Forever in this land.
Blessed Light, O Trinity
O blessed Light, O Trinity,
O Unity most bright;
The fiery sun now fades away,
Your grace becomes our light.
We praise You in the morning song,
We call on You at night;
Through every age, our humble hearts
Lift up Your name in light.
The stars arise, the shadows fall,
Yet You remain the same;
The earth grows still beneath Your gaze,
And whispers out Your name.
Blessed Light, O Trinity,
Endless love and majesty;
Father, Spirit, holy Son,
Three in One, forever One.
Through every dawn, through every dusk,
Your mercy fills the skies;
The night will never silence You—
Your glory never dies.
Blessed Light, O Trinity,
Endless love and majesty;
Father, Spirit, holy Son,
Three in One, forever One.
As daylight fades, our hearts remain,
Enflamed with holy fire;
O blessed Light, O Trinity,
Our souls to You aspire.
The Gate of Grace
The gate of grace stands open wide,
Yet pure and whole remains;
The King has passed, the light abides,
Forever uncontained.
From heaven’s light a child is born,
Through Mary’s holy frame;
The Savior, Maker, Bridegroom comes—
All nations praise His name.
The joy of her who bore the Word,
The hope of all who trust;
Through death’s dark cup He conquered sin,
And raised us from the dust.
The gate of grace, the holy way,
Where love eternal reigns;
The King of kings has entered in—
And broken every chain.
Her honor shines, her heart is pure,
Her faith forever true;
And He’s the Giant of His Church
Making all creation new.
Through death’s black night He tore the veil,
The grave became His throne;
Our boundless hope, our endless life—
In Him we stand alone.
The gate of grace, the holy way,
Where love eternal reigns;
The King of kings has entered in—
And broken every chain.
O Word made flesh, forever bright,
Redeemer, Lord, and friend;
The gate of grace still open stands—
Your kingdom has no end.
