O God, of Good the Unfathomed Sea

Author: Johann Scheffler; John Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4888 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. O God, of good the unfathomed sea! Who would not give his heart to Thee? Who would not love Thee with his might? O Jesus, lover of mankind, Who would not his whole soul and mind, With all his strength, to Thee unite? 2. Thou shin’st with everlasting rays; Before the insufferable blaze Angels with both wings veil their eyes; Yet free as air Thy bounty streams On all thy works; Thy mercy’s beams Diffusive as Thy sun’s arise. 3. Astonished at Thy frowning brow, Earth, hell, and Heaven’s strong pillars bow; Terrible majesty is Thine! Who then can that vast love express Which bows Thee down to me, who less Than nothing am, till Thou art mine? 4. High throned upon Heaven’s eternal hill, In number, weight, and measure still Thou sweetly orderest all that is: And yet Thou deign’st to come to me, And guide my steps, that I, with Thee Enthroned, may reign in endless bliss. 5. Fountain of good, all blessing flows From Thee; no want Thy fullness knows; What but Thyself canst Thou desire? Yet, self-sufficient as Thou art, Thou dost desire my worthless heart; This, only this, dost Thou require. 6. Primeval beauty! in Thy sight The first-born, fairest sons of light See all their brightest glories fade: What then to me Thine eyes could turn, In sin conceived, of woman born, A worm, a leaf, a blast, a shade? 7. Hell’s armies tremble at Thy nod, And trembling own the almighty God, Sovereign of earth, hell, air, and sky: But who is this that comes from far, Whose garments rolled in blood appear? ’Tis God made man, for man to die! 8. O God, of good the unfathomed sea! Who would not give his heart to Thee? Who would not love Thee with his might? O Jesus, lover of mankind, Who would not his whole soul and mind, With all his strength, to Thee unite? Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETERSBURG

O Lord, Who in Thy Love Divine

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5164 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. O Lord, who in Thy love divine Didst leave in Heaven the ninety-nine, In pity for a world undone, And gav’st Thy life to save the one, And didst it on Thy shoulders bear In joy to Heaven, receive our prayer. 2. Thou who the night in prayer didst spend And then didst Thine apostles send And bidd’st us pray the harvest’s Lord To send forth sowers of Thy Word, Hear and Thy chosen servants bless With sev’nfold gifts of holiness. 3. Look down, with gracious eye behold, With watchful care protect Thy fold; Secure from hireling shepherds keep, Which feed themselves, and not the sheep, And when the prowling wolf is nigh, Forsake the flock in fear and fly. 4. O Thou, who didst at Pentecost Send down from Heaven the Holy Ghost That He might with Thy Church abide Forever to defend and guide, Illuminate and strengthen, Lord, The preachers of Thy holy Word. 5. Oh, may Thy pastors faithful be, Not lab’ring for themselves, but Thee! Give grace to feed with wholesome food The sheep and lambs bought by Thy blood, To tend Thy flock, and thus to prove How dearly they the Shepherd love. 6. That which the holy Scriptures teach, That, and that only, may they preach; May they the true Foundation lay, Build gold thereon, not wood or hay; And meekly preach in days of strife The sermon of a holy life. 7. As ever in Thy holy eyes, And stewards of Thy mysteries, May they the people teach to see Not, Lord, Thy ministers, but Thee; To see a loving Savior’s face Revealed in all the means of grace. 8. May they Thy Word with boldness speak And bear with tenderness the weak; Not seeking their own things as best, But what may edify the rest; With wisdom and simplicity And, most of all, with clarity. 9. Oh, may Thy people faithful be And in Thy pastors honor Thee And with them work and for them pray And gladly Thee in them obey, Receive the prophet of the Lord And gain the prophet’s own reward! 10. So may we, when our work is done Together stand before Thy throne And joyful hearts and voices raise In one united song of praise, With all the bright celestial host, To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Weary of Wandering from My God

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7177 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Weary of wandering from my God, And now made willing to return I hear and bow me to the rod For thee, not without hope, I mourn: I have an Advocate above A Friend before the throne of love. 2. O Jesus, full of truth and grace More full of grace than I of sin Yet once again I seek Thy face: Open Thine arms and take me in And freely my backslidings heal And love the faithless sinner still. 3. Thou know’st the way to bring me back My fallen spirit to restore O for Thy truth and mercy’s sake, Forgive, and bid me sin no more: The ruins of my soul repair And make my heart a house of prayer. 4. The stone to flesh again convert, The veil of sin again remove; Sprinkle Thy blood upon my heart, And melt it by Thy dying love; This rebel heart by love subdue, And make it soft, and make it new. 5. Give to mine eyes refreshing tears, And kindle my relentings now; Fill my whole soul with filial fears, To Thy sweet yoke my spirit bow; Bend by Thy grace, O bend or break, The iron sinew in my neck! 6. Ah! give me, Lord, the tender heart That trembles at the approach of sin; A godly fear of sin impart, Implant, and root it deep within, That I may dread Thy gracious power, And never dare to offend Thee more.
