CALL UPON THE LORD! “And Thy Radiance…”

CALL UPON THE LORD!
“And Thy Radiance. . .”

Words and music by Mark L. Prophet

Lanello:
And thy radiance shall cover
The heart of the world
Will cover the heart of the world.

O shadows disappear
And the restless sea and tide
Speak of the torrents of thy love
Never to be denied
Never to be denied.

When the stars seem to fade
And the world and its senses are gone
All thy angels shall gather
For they are unafraid.
Thy love like lightning
Covers the heart of the world.

Thy tender magnificence
Born of the sun
Spins forth the garment
To cover everyone.

All darkness will fade
And all sorrows be gone
For thy love, like the sun
Shall restore everyone.

O come, blessed Saviour
And guard thy dear sheep
For thy light from the palace
Each stable will keep
Thy light from the palace
Of the stable shall keep.
And the sunbeams be dusted
And purified bright
For they come from thy heart
And they are thy own light.

Though mankind by thoughts
That are impure and wrong
Have erred in their judgment
And put out the song
Thy sweetness revealeth
The end then will come
And thy glory of ages
In each one will hum.
HUM—3 measures, 3-1/2 beats, 4/4 time

For thy songcraft of ages
Will bless every soul
With the feeling of greatness
That makes each one whole.
Thy love like a torrent
Flows over the soul
Its crystal waters
Will make all men whole. (hold 8 beats)
