How Vast the Benefits Divine

Author: Rev. A. M. Toplady Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How vast the benefits divine, Which we in Christ possess! We're saved from guilt and ev'ry sin, And called to holiness. 2 'Tis not for works which we have done, Or shall hereafter do; But He, of His electing love, Salvation doth bestow. 3 The glory, Lord, from first to last, Is due to Thee alone; Aught to ourselves we dare not take, Or rob Thee of Thy crown. 4 Our glorious Surety undertook Redemption's wondrous plan; And grace was given us in Him, Before the world began. 5 Safe in the arms of sov'reign love We ever shall remain; Nor shall the rage of earth or hell Make Thy dear councils vain. 6 Not one of all the chosen race But shall to heav'n attain, Partake on earth the purposed grace, And then with Jesus reign.

Hushed Was the Evening Hymn

Author: Rev. James D. Burns Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 236 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hushed was the evening hymn, The temple courts were dark; The lamp was burning dim Before the sacred ark; When suddenly a voice divine Rang thro' the silence of the shrine. 2. The old man, meek and mild, The priest of Israel, slept; His watch the temple-child, The little Levite, kept; And what from Eli's sense was sealed The Lord to Hannah's son revealed. 3. O give my Samuel's ear, The open ear, O Lord, Alive and quick to hear Each whisper of Thy word, Like him to answer at Thy call, And to obey Thee first of all. 4. O give me Samuel's heart, A lowly heart, that waits Where in Thy house Thou art, Or watches at Thy gates; By day and night, a heart that still Moves at the breathing of Thy will. 5. O give me Samuel's mind, A sweet unmurm'ring faith, Obedient and resigned To Thee in life and death; That I may read with child-like eyes Truths that are hidden from the wise.
