My God, how wonderful thou art
Author: Frederick William Faber (1814-1863) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #729 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Devotion Lyrics: 1 My God, how wonderful thou art,
thy majesty how bright,
how beautiful thy mercy-seat
in depths of burning light!
2 How dread are thine eternal years,
O everlasting Lord,
by prostrate spirits day and night
incessantly adored!
3 How wonderful, how beautiful,
the sight of thee must be,
thine endless wisdom, boundless power,
and aweful purity!
4 O how I fear thee, living God,
with deepest, tenderest fears,
and worship thee with trembling hope
and penitential tears!
5 Yet I may love thee too, O Lord,
almighty as thou art,
for thou hast stooped to ask of me
the love of my poor heart.
6 No earthly father loves like thee,
no mother, e'er so mild,
bears and forbears as thou hast done
with me, thy sinful child.
7 Father of Jesus, love's reward,
what rapture will it be,
prostrate before thy throne to lie
and gaze and gaze on thee! Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 Languages: English Tune Title: WESTMINSTER
My God, how wonderful thou art
Oh, why are you cast down, my soul?
Author: Wm. Rinehart Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #730 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 Oh, why art thou cast down, my soul?
Why sunk within me so?
Hope thou in God--he is thy Guide
And Guardian here below.
2 Has not the Saviour died for thee,
And shed his precious blood?
Has he not groaned on Calvary,
To bring thee home to God?
3 Then why art thou cast down, my soul?
Shake off thy gloomy fears;
Thy toils and conflicts soon shall end
In this dark vale of tears.
4 What though the powers of earth and hell
Against thee should combine?
Amidst thy conflicts, O my soul,
A glorious hope is thine.
5 This world and all created things
In ruins soon shall lie;
But thou, my soul, shalt dwell secure,
Beyond the starry sky.
6 There thou shalt rest with Christ above,
Where he, eternal, reigns,
And ever sing redeeming love
With sweet, angelic strains.
Oh, why are you cast down, my soul?
My God, I love thee; not because
Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #730a (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Devotion Lyrics: 1 My God, I love thee; not because
I hope for heaven thereby,
nor yet because who love thee not
are lost eternally.
2 Thou, O my Jesus, thou didst me
upon the cross embrace;
for me didst bear the nails and spear,
and manifold disgrace;
3 And griefs and torments numberless,
and sweat of agony;
yea, death itself — and all for me
who was thine enemy.
4 Then why, O blessèd Jesu Christ,
should I not love thee well?
Not for the sake of winning heaven,
nor of escaping hell;
5 Not from the hope of gaining aught,
not seeking a reward;
but as thyself hast lovèd me,
O ever-loving Lord.
6 So would I love thee, dearest Lord,
and in thy praise will sing;
solely because thou art my God,
and my most loving King. Scripture: Romans 5:6-11 Languages: English Tune Title: ST FRANCIS XAVIER

2 Thou, O my Jesus, thou didst me

My God, I love thee; not because
I love to steal awhile away
Author: Mrs. Brown Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #732 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away
From every cumb'ring care;
And spend the hours of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer.
2 I love in solitude to shed
The penitential tear;
And all his promises to plead,
Where none but God can hear.
3 I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore;
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On him whom I adore.
4 I love by faith to take a view
Of brighter scenes in heaven:
The prospect does my strength renew,
While here by tempests driven.
5 Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er,
May its departing ray
Be calm as this impressive hour,
And lead to endless day. Scripture: Genesis 24:63
I love to steal awhile away
Only This I Want

Only This I Want
My faith looks up to thee
Author: Palmer Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #733 (1873) Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary:
Saviour divine,
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away:
Oh, let me from this day,
Be wholly thine.
2 May thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart;
My zeal inspire:
As thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be--
A living fire.
3 While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be thou my Guide:
Bid darkness turn to day;
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream;
When death's cold, sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll,
Blest Saviour, then, in love,
Fear and distress remove;
Oh, bear me safe above--
A ransomed soul. Scripture: John 3:14-15
My faith looks up to thee
Far from the world, O Lord, I flee
Author: Cowper Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #734 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 Far from the world, O Lord, I flee,
From strife and tumult far;
From scenes where Satan wages still
His most successful war.
2 The calm retreat, the silent shade,
With prayer and praise agree;
And seem by thy sweet bounty made
For those who follow thee.
3 There, if thy Spirit touch the soul,
And grace her mean abode,
Oh, with what peace, and joy, and love,
She communes with her God!
4 Author and guardian of my life,
Sweet source of light divine,
And all harmonious names in one,
My Saviour, thou art mine! Scripture: Genesis 24:63
Far from the world, O Lord, I flee
Thou, Savior, from thy throne on high
Author: Palmer Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #735 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 Thou, Saviour, from thy throne on high
Enrobed in light and girt with power,
Dost note the thought, the prayer, the sign,
Of hearts that love the tranquil hour.
2 Oft thou thyself didst steal away
At eventide, from labor done,
In some still, peaceful shade to pray
Till morning watches were begun.
3 Thou hast not, dearest Lord, forgot
Thy wrestling on Judea's hills;
And still thou lovest the quiet spot
Where praise the lowly spirit fills.
4 Now to our souls, withdrawn awhile
From earth's rude noise, thy face reveal;
And, as we worship, kindly smile,
And for thine own our spirits seal.
5 To thee we bring each grief and care,
To thee we fly while tempests lower;
Thou wilt the weary burdens bear
Of hearts that love the tranquil hour.
Thou, Savior, from thy throne on high
Rise up, and bless your God
Author: A. H. Bassett Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #736 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 Rise up, and bless your God,
Early his praise declare;
Make haste, attend upon his word,
And breathe your midnight prayer.
2 Let your first thoughts ascend,
And reach the Holy One;
Your earliest wishes ever tend
To his celestial throne.
3 Let not the world, nor care,
Nor sense, nor self have place;
Midnight be given to praise and prayer,
Through the Redeemer's grace.
4 Lord, in this solemn hour,
All thoughts be thoughts of thee;
Into my soul thy fullness pour--
Be all in all to me.
5 Keep, ever keep my heart,
Leaving no room for sin;
Wisdom, and strength, and love impart,
Making a heaven within.
6 Oh, may I live to love,
And fear, and honor thee;
Then sing with ransomed hosts above,
In blest eternity.
Rise up, and bless your God
