O Love of God, How Strong and True!

Author: Horatiu s Bonar (1808-1889) Hymnal: SDAH1985 #79 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O love of God, how strong and true! Eternal, and yet ever new; Uncomprehended and unbought, Beyond all knowledge and all thought. 2 O love of God, how deep and great, Far deeper than man’s deepest hate; Self-fed, self-kindled like the light, Changeless, eternal, infinite. 3 We read thee best in Him who cam To bear for us the cross of shame; Sent by the Father from on high, Our life to live, our death to die. 4 We read thy power to bless and save, E’en in the darkness of the grave; Still more in resurrection light We read the fullness of thy might. 5 O love of God, our shield and stay Through all the perils of our way! Eternal love, in thee we rest, Forever safe, forever blest. Topics: God the Father Love of God Tune Title: OMBERSLEY

Hymnal: SDAH1985 #82 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah’s awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone; He can create, and He destroy. 2 His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; and when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to His fold again. 3 We’ll crowd His gates with thankful songs, High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill His courts with sounding praise. 4 Wide as the world is His command, Vast as Eternity His love; Firm as a rock His truth shall stand, When rolling years shall cease to move Topics: God the Father Majesty and Power of God Scripture: Psalm 100 Tune Title: DUKE STREET

Nature With Open Volume Stands

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) alt. Hymnal: SDAH1985 #94 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands, To spread its Maker’s praise abroad; And every labor of His hands Shows something worthy of our God. 2 But in the grace that rescued us His brightest form of glory shines; ‘Tis fairest drawn upon the cross In precious blood and crimson lines. 3 Here His whole name appears complete. Nor wit can guess, nor reason prove, Which of the letters best is writ, The pow’r, the wisdom, or the love. 4 We would forever speak His name In sounds to mortal ears unknown, With angels join to praise the Lamb, And worship at His Father’s throne.
