Love Divine, All Love Excelling

Author: Chas. Wesley Hymnal: ALH1930 #158 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: BEECHER Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all love excelling, Joy of heav'n, to earth come down! Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart! 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into ev'ry troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find the promised rest. Take away the love of sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Graciously return, and never, Never more Thy temples leave! Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy precious love. 4 Finish then Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee! Changed from glory into glory, Till in heav'n we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love and praise. Amen.

God's promise faileth never, Hosanna sound forever! O blest is He that came In God the Father's name! 3 Fling wide thy portals, Zion, And hail thy glorious King! His tidings of salvation To ev'ry people bring, Who, waiting yet in sadness, Would sing His praise with gladness. O blest is He that came In God the Father's name!

My Heart, Prepare To Give Account

Author: P. C. Paulsen; H. A. Brorson Hymnal: ALH1930 #69 (1930) Tune Title: BERGGREN Lyrics: 1 My heart, prepare to give account Of all thy sore transgression; To Him Who is all mercies' Fount Make thou a full confession. Recount what thou in all these years Of sin and guilt hast hoarded, And what in God's own book appears, With faithfulness recorded. 2 Soon will thy earthly course be run, No single day returning; But what thou good or ill hast done, Thy God is now discerning; When He to judgment calleth thee, Thou shalt with fear and trembling Thy sinful deeds in order see, No longer then dissembling. 3 Here thy conceit and ill desire Thou many times concealest; Thy evil lust, that burning fire, Thou nevermore revealest; Thou thinkest, This is hidden well, No soul shall ever know it. The day of judgment all shall tell, Its searching light will show it. 4 Remember, then, how swiftly went The years of grace He gave thee; What if today His call were sent, Without a chance to save thee! If thou hast still a few more days To be for death preparing, Then hasten to amend thy ways, By grace good fruitage bearing. 5 O bend thy knees, thy sins to take Before God's throne in heaven, And pray that grace for Jesus' sake To thee be freely given. Then by His power from above, By His own Holy Spirit, Thou shalt increase in faith and love, Till heaven thou inherit. Topics: The Means of Grace Penitence Languages: English

O Son Of God, In Co-Eternal Might

Author: Harriett Reynolds Spaeth; Wilhelm Loehe Hymnal: ALH1930 #183 (1930) Meter: Irregular Tune Title: BLESSIN Lyrics: 1 O Son of God, in co-eternal might, O Son of Man, clothed in the living light Of Godhead manifest, in pow'r and glory; Lord Jesus Christ, Thou sole Desire That doth Thy longing worshippers inspire, For Thee alone my spirit yearns in me: No bliss I find until I am with Thee. 2 The field is golden, flow'rs the meadow strew, The mountains rise sublime, the skies are blue; In these the child of earth may well find pleasure; I too, rejoice in all of them, But, not content, I want Jerusalem. Where Thou art throned, thither sets my sail; Home is not home, except within the veil. 3 Angelic legions, in Thy brightness bright, Gaze on Thy face; my fathers share the sight; The God-man's matchless glory is unshrouded, And from that vision, to the soul Unmeasured waves of joy supernal roll, That rise in full and ever fuller tone, Like ocean surges, to the Lamb's white throne. 4 Then let me go--what further hinders me?-- To mine own folk, the Son of Man to see. No glance will I; of that majestic beauty My eager soul would take her fill. Joy even now, and trembling, thro' me thrill. I must away! Thou hast prepared my place; My spirit panteth, Lord, to see Thy face. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Languages: English

Grant in mercy that I never Cease to love Thy precious Word. By its teachings so appealing May it keep me firm and true; At Thy feet with Mary kneeling, I would learn Thy will to do.
