Ye Holy Angels Bright

Author: Richard Baxter (1615-1691) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #323 (1998) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-21 Lyrics: 1 Ye holy angels bright, who wait at God's right hand, or through the realms of light fly at your Lord's command, assist our song, for else the theme too high doth seem for mortal tongue. 2 Ye blessed souls at rest, who ran this earthly race and now, from sin released, behold the Saviour's face, your praises sound, as in God's sight with sweet delight ye do abound. 3 Ye saints, who toil below, adore your heavenly King, and onward as ye go some joyful anthem sing; in God rejoice, and thus proclaim the holy name with sounding voice. 4 My soul, bear thou thy part, triumph in God above, and with a well-tuned heart sing thou the songs of love! Let all thy days till life shall end, whate'er God send, be filled with praise.

O love of God, how strong and true!

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #73 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Ephesians 3:17-19 Lyrics: 1 O love of God, how strong and true! Eternal, and yet ever new; Uncomprehended and unbought, Beyond all knowledge and all thought. 2 O love of God, how deep and great! Far deeper than man's deepest hate; Self-fed, self-kindled like the light, Changeless, eternal, infinite. 3 O heav'nly love, how precious still, In days of weariness and ill, In nights of pain and helplessness, To heal, to comfort, and to bless! 4 O wide-embracing, wondrous love! We read thee in the sky above, We read thee in the earth below, In seas that swell, and streams that flow. 5 We read thee best in him who came To bear for us the cross of shame; Sent by the Father from on high, Our life to live, our death to die. 6 We read thy pow'r to bless and save, E'en in the darkness of the grave; Still more in resurrection light We read the fulness of thy might. 7 O love of God, our shield and stay Through all the perils of our way! Eternal love, in thee we rest, For ever safe, for ever blest. Amen.
