HYMN 325 Transfiguration Wreathed in Bright Divinity/The Light Shines Through the Darkness

Text: Gracia Grindal Tune: Amanda Husberg 1. Wreathed in bright divinity, Jesus’ light is all they see, Luminous with dread and wonder, Terrified they hear heav’n thunder “This is my beloved Son!

Not my will but your be done.” 3. In the darkest night of all, In the wormwood and the gall, D

Latin: Jam lucis Orto Sidere Text: St. Ambrose (340-397). Tune: Dale Wood (1934-2003) 1. Now that the daylight fills the sky, We lift our hearts to God on high That He, in all we do or say, Would keep us free from harm today, 2.

So we, when this new day is gone, And night in turn is drawing on, With conscience by th

Mark 4:3-20 Text: Norman P. Olsen Tune: Frederick F. Jackisch 1. When seed falls on good soil It’s born through quiet toil, Where soil receives, The earth conceives The blade, the stem, the fruit, the leaves Good soil, oh, mother earth, The womb, where seed takes birth. 2. God’s Word in Christ is seed; Good soil its urgent need; For it must find In human kind The fertile soil in heart and mind. Good soil! A human field A hundred-fold to yield. 3. Plow up the tr
