God’s Light Shines Forth, Hymn Hymn

The music for this hymn was written originally by Edvard Grieg as part of his Lyric Pieces, Volume I, Opus 12 (1867).  It is an excerpt from movement III, “The Watchman’s Song”.  I have arranged his music in Hymn-form, and written lyrics to go along with the piece. I have also arranged this music for full SATB Choir.

The lyrics for this hymn focus on how God sends Light, as knowledge, for the blessing of as many of His children as are willing to receive it, and how that light can grow brighter and brighter unto a perfect day.
