O Love divine, how sweet thou art!

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 379 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:8 Lyrics: 1 O love divine, how sweet thou art! When shall I find my longing heart all taken up by thee? I thirst, I faint, I die to prove the greatness of redeeming love, the love of Christ to me. 2 Stronger his love than death or hell; its riches are unsearchable: the first-born sons of light desire in vain its depth to see; they cannot reach the mystery, the length and breadth and height. *3 God only knows the love of God; O that it now were shed abroad in this poor stony heart! For love I sigh, for love I pine; this only portion, Lord, be mine, be mine this better part. 4 For ever would I take my seat with Mary at the Master's feet: be this my happy choice; my only care, delight, and bliss, my joy, my heaven on earth, be this, to hear the Bridegroom's voice! 5 Thy only love do I require, nothing on earth beneath desire, nothing in heaven above: let earth and heaven, and all things go, give me thine only love to know, give me thine only love.

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 347 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:8 Lyrics: 1. Jesus, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; O bind my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there: Thine wholy, Thine alone, I am; Be Thou alone my constant flame. 2. O grant that nothing in my soul May dwell but Thy pure love alone; O may Thy love possess my whole, My joy, my treasure, and my crown: All coldness from my heart remove; May ev'ry act, word, thought, be love. 3. O Love, how gracious is Thy way! All fear before Thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow melt away, Where'er Thy healing beams arise: O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee. 4. In suff'ring, be Thy love my peace; In weakness, be Thy love my pow'r; And when the storms of life shall cease, O Jesus, in that solemn hour, In death as life be Thou my guide, And save me, who for me hast died.

Author: George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 340 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, who dwells within my heart, wean it from sin, through all its pulses move. Stoop to my weakness, mighty as you are, and make me love you as I ought to love. 2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies, no sudden rending of the veil of clay, no angel visitant, no opening skies; but take the dimness of my soul away. 3 Did you not bid us love you, God and King, love you with all our heart and strength and mind? I see the cross– there teach my heart to cling. O let me seek you and O let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that you are always nigh; teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; teach me the patience of unceasing prayer. 5 Teach me to love you as your angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame: the fullness of the heaven-descended Dove; my heart an altar, and your love the flame.

Father, how wide thy glory shines!

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 311 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:10 Lyrics: 1 FATHER, how wide thy glory shines! How high thy wonders rise! Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousand through the skies. 2 Those mighty orbs proclaim thy power; Their motions speak thy skill; And on the wings of every hour We read thy patience still. 3 But when we read thy strange design To save rebellious worms, Where justice and compassion join In their divinest forms-- 4 Here the whole Deity is known; Nor dares a creature guess Which of the glories brightest shone, The justice or the grace. 5 Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heavenly plains; Bright cherubs chant Immanuel's name, And try their choicest strains. 6 Oh may I bear some humble part In that immortal song; Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue.

To thee our morning hymns ascended; thy praise shall hallow now our rest. 2 We thank thee that thy church unsleeping, while earth rolls onward into light, through all the world a watch is keeping and rests not now by day or night. 3 As o’er each continent and island the dawn leads on another day, the voice of prayer is never silent, nor dies the song of praise away. 4 The sun that bids us rest is waking thy children ‘neath the western sky, and hour by hour fresh lips are making thy wondrous doings heard on high. 5 So be it, Lord; thy throne shall never, like earth's proud empires, pass away; thy kingdom stands, and grows forever until there dawns thy glorious day.

Where high the heavenly temple stands

Author: Logan Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 204 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:12 Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands, The house of God not made with hands, A great High-Priest our nature wears, The guardian of mankind appears. 2 Though now ascended up on high, He bends to earth a brother's eye; Partaker of the human name, He knows the frailty of our frame. 3 Our fellow-sufferer yet retains A fellow-feeling of our pains; And still remembers, in the skies, His tears, his agonies, and cries. 4 In every pang that rends the heart, The Man of Sorrows had a part; He sympathizes with our grief, And to the sufferer sends relief. 5 With boldness, therefore, at the throne, Let us make all our sorrows known, And ask the aid of heavenly power To help us in the evil hour.
