Isaiah 60:3: And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Light of life eternal, rise.
Thy beams of glory dart,
Shine in all the nations' eyes,
And show them who Thou art:
To our dazzled king appear,
And let this image of Thy power
Trembling at a greater near
The rising Sun adore!
Drawn by thy grace the sons of night.

The Gentile world shall come to thee,
And kings o'erpower'd with heavenly light
Admire thy dazzling purity;
Soon as to thee their face they turn.

They shall their royal state forget.
On earth look down with holy scorn.
And lay their crowns at Jesu's feet.
