By your gospel true and holy, teach us, Lord, to love you solely. 2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight lie in deepest darkness shrouded, till your Spirit breaks our night, filling us with light unclouded. All good thoughts and all good living come but by your gracious giving. 3 Glorious Lord, yourself impart, Light of Light, from God proceeding.

Author: Arthur C. Ainger Meter: Irregular Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:7-13 Lyrics: 1 God is working this purpose out, as year succeeds to year; God is working this purpose out, and the time is drawing near; nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be: when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 From utmost east to utmost west, where human feet have trod, by the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God: “Give ear to me, ye continents, ye isles, give ear to me, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.” 3 Let us go forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled, that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world. Let us all fight with sorrow and sin to set the captives free, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 4 All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed. Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed. Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

Oh, gift of gifts! oh, grace of faith!

Author: Faber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 84 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:8 Lyrics: 1 Oh, gift of gifts! oh, grace of faith! My God, how can it be That thou, who hast discerning love, Shouldst give that gift to me? 2 There was a place, there was a time, Whether by night or day, Thy Spirit came, and left that gift, And went upon his way. 3 How many hearts thou might'st have had, More innocent than mine! How many souls more worthy far Of that sweet touch of mine. 4 Oh, happy, happy that I am! If thou canst be, O faith, The treasure that thou art in life, What wilt thou be in death? 5 This choice, O God of goodness, then, I lovingly adore; Oh, give me grace to keep thy grace, And grace to merit more.

O may we all one bread, one body be, through this blest sacrament of unity. 2 For all your church, O Lord, we intercede; make all our sad divisions soon to cease; draw us the nearer each to each, we plead, by drawing all to you, O Prince of Peace: thus may we all one bread, one body be, through this blest sacrament of unity. 3 We also pray for wanderers from your fold; O bring them back, Good Shepherd of the sheep, back to the faith which saints believed of old, back to your church which still that faith must keep: soon may we all one bread, one body be, through this blest sacrament of unity. 4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease may we be one with all your church above, one with your saints in one unbroken peace, one with your saints in one unbounded love; more blessèd still, in peace and love to be one with the Trinity in Unity.

The unsearchable riches of Christ

Appears in 60 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:8 First Line: How shall I my savior set forth Lyrics: 1 How shall I my savior set forth? How shall I his beauties declare? Or how shall I speak of His worth, Or what His chief dignities are? His angels can never express, Nor saints who sit nearest his throne, How rich are his treasures of grace:— No! this is a mystery unknown. 2 In him all the fulness of God For ever transcendently shines; Tho' once like a mortal he stood To finish his gracious designs: Tho’ once he was nail'd to the cross, Vile rebels like me to set free, His glory sustained no loss, Eternal his kingdom shall be. 3 His wisdom, his love, and his power, Seem'd then with each other to vie, When sinners he stoop'd to restore, Poor sinners condemned to die! He laid all his grandeur aside, And dwelt in a cottage of clay, Poor sinners he lov'd, tillhe dy'd To wash their pollutions away. 4 O sinners, believe and adore This savior so rich to redeem! No creature can ever explore The treasure of goodness in him: Come, all ye who see yourselves lost, And feel yourselves burden'd with sin, Draw near while with terror you’re toss'd; Believe, and your peace shall begin. 5 Now, sinners, attend to his call, "Whoso hath an ear let him hear," He promises mercy to all Who feel their sad wants, far and near: He riches has ever in store, And treasures that never can waste: Here's Pardon, here's grace, yea and more, Here's glory eternal at last.
