Behold the amazing gift of love
Paraphrase 22, verses 3-8
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 First Line: Art thou afraid his power shall fail Lyrics: 1 Art thou afraid his power shall fail
when comes thy evil day?
And can an all-creating arm
grow weary or decay?
2 Supreme in wisdom as in power
the Rock of ages stands;
though him thou canst not see, nor trace
the working of his hands.
3 He gives the conquest to the weak,
supports the fainting heart;
and courage in the evil hour
his heavenly aids impart.
4 Mere human power shall fast decay,
and youthful vigour cease;
but they who wait upon the Lord
in strength shall still increase.
5 They with unwearied feet shall tread
the path of life divine;
with growing ardour onward move,
with growing brightness shine.
6 On eagles' wings they mount, they soar,
their wings are faith and love,
till, past the cloudy regions here,
they rise to heaven above. Topics: Our Response to God in adoration and gratitude; Encouragement Scripture: Isaiah 40:28-31 Used With Tune: ST. STEPHEN (ABRIDGE) Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, 1781

O for a Faith that will not shrink
Author: William Hiley Bathurst Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 688 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O for a Faith that will not shrink,
Though prest by many a foe;
That will not tremble on the brink
Of poverty or woe;
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod:
But in the hour of grief or pain
Can lean upon its God.
3 A Faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without;
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt:
4 That bears unmoved the world's dread frown,
Nor heeds its scornful smile;
That sin's wild ocean cannot drown,
Nor Satan's arts beguile:
5 A Faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life's last hour is fled,
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Lights up a dying bed.
6 Lord, give us such a Faith as this,
And then whate'er may come,
We'll taste e'en here the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home. Topics: The Christian Life Trust; Epiphany, Fourth Sunday; Twenty First Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: ABRIDGE
O for a Faith that will not shrink
Long have I sat beneath the sound
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 162 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Long have I sat beneath the sound
Of thy salvation, Lord;
But still how weak my faith is found,
And knowledge of Thy Word!
2 My Hope, my Portion, and my God,
How little art Thou known
By all the judgments of Thy rod,
And blessings of Thy throne!
3 How cold and feeble is my love
How negligent my fear!
How low my hope of joys above!
How few affections there!
4 Great God, Thy sovereign power impart
To give Thy Word success;
Write Thy salvation in my heart,
And make me learn Thy grace.
5 Show my forgetful feet the way
That leads to joys on high;
There knowledge grows without decay,
And love shall never die. Topics: Worship; Worship Public Worship; Sexagesima Sunday Used With Tune: ABRIDGE
