Strong Son of God, immortal Love

Author: Alfred Tennyson, 1809-92 Hymnal: NEH1985 #455 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 STRONG Son of God, immortal Love, Whom we, that have not seen thy face, By faith, and faith alone, embrace, Believing where we cannot prove: 2 Thou wilt not leave us in the dust; Thou madest man, he knows not why; He thinks he was not made to die: And thou hast made him, thou art just. 3 Thou seemest human and divine, The highest, holiest manhood thou: Our wills are ours, we know not how; Ours wills are ours, to make them thine. 4 Our little systems have their day; They have their day and cease to be: They are but broken lights of thee, And thou, O Lord, art more than they.

Teach me, my God and King

Author: George Herbert, 1593-1632 Hymnal: NEH1985 #456 (1986) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 TEACH me, my God and King, In all things thee to see; And what I do in anything To do it as for thee! 2 A man that looks on glass, On it may stay his eye; Or if he pleaseth, through it pass, And then the heaven espy. 3 All may of thee partake; Nothing can be so mean, Which, with this tincture, 'for thy sake', Will not grow bright and clean. 4 A servant with this clause Makes drudgery divine; Who sweeps a room, as for thy laws, Makes that and the action fine. 5 This is the famous stone That turneth all to gold; For that which God doth touch and own Cannot for less be told.

The King of love my Shepherd is

Baker, 1821-77 Hymnal: NEH1985 #457a (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 THE King of love my Shepherd is, Whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am his And he is mine for ever. 2 Where streams of living water flow My ransomed soul he leadeth, And where the verdant pastures grow With food celestial feedeth. 3 Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, But yet in love he sought me, And on his shoulder gently laid, And home, rejoicing, brought me. 4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill With thee, dear Lord, beside me; Thy rod and staff my comfort still, Thy cross before to guide me. 5 Thou spread'st a table in my sight; Thy unction, grace bestoweth: And O what transport of delight From thy pure chalice floweth! 6 And so through all the length of days Thy goodness faileth never; Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise Within thy house for ever.

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: NEH1985 #458 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 THE Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noonday walks he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads My weary wandering steps he leads, Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow. 3 Though in a bare and rugged way Through devious lonely wilds I stray, Thy bounty shall my pains beguile; The barren wilderness shall smile With sudden greens and herbage crowned, And streams shall murmur all around. 4 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For thou, 0 Lord, art with me still: Thy friendly staff shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade.

The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want

Hymnal: NEH1985 #459 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 THE Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want; He makes me down to lie In pastures green; he leadeth me The quiet waters by. 2 My soul he doth restore again, And me to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness, E'en for his own name's sake. 3 Yea, though I walk through death's dark vale, Yet will I fear no ill: For thou art with me, and thy rod And staff me comfort still. 4 My table thou hast furnishèd In presence of my foes; My head thou dost with oil anoint, And my cup overflows. 5 Goodness and mercy all my life Shall surely follow me; And in God's house for evermore My dwelling-place shall be.

There is a land of pure delight

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: NEH1985 #460 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never-withering flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides That heavenly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. 4 But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross the narrow sea, And linger shivering on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy doubts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes! 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o'er, Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood, Should fright us from the shore!

There's a wideness in God's mercy

Author: F. W. Faber, 1814-63 Hymnal: NEH1985 #461 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 THERE's a wideness in God's mercy Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in his justice Which is more than liberty. 2 There is no place where earth's sorrows Are more felt than up in heaven; There is no place where earth's failings Have such kindly judgement given. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. 4 But we make his love too narrow By false limits of our own; And we magnify his strictness With a zeal he will not own. 5 There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 6 There is grace enough for thousands Of new worlds as great as this; There is room for fresh creations In that upper home of bliss. 7 If our love were but more simple, We should take him at his word; And our lives would be all gladness In the joy of Christ our Lord.

They whose course on earth is o'er

Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: NEH1985 #462 (1986) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 THEY whose course on earth is o’er, Think they of their brethren more? They before the throne who bow, Feel they for their brethren now? 2 We by enemies distrest, They in paradise at rest; We the captives, they the freed; We and they are one indeed: 3 One in all we seek or shun, One, because our Lord is one; One in home and one in love; We below, and they above. 4 They whom space on earth divides, Mountains, rivers, ocean-tides; Have they with each other part? Have they fellowship in heart? 5 Each to each may be unknown, Wide apart their lots be thrown; Yet in sacrament and prayer Each with other hath a share. 6 Saints departed, even thus Hold communion still with us; Still with us, beyond the veil, Praising, pleading without fail. 7 So with them our hearts we raise, Share their work and join their praise, Rendering worship, thanks and love To the Trinity above.
