Thee Will I Love, My Strength, My Tower
Author: Johann Scheffler (1624-1677); John Wesley (1703-1791) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 165 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:15-23 Lyrics: 1 Thee will I love, my strength, my tower;
thee will I love, my joy, my crown;
thee will I love with all my power,
in all thy works, and thee alone:
thee will I love, till sacred fire
fill my whole soul with pure desire.
2 I thank thee, uncreated Sun,
that thy bright beams on me have shined;
I thank thee, who hast overthrown
my foes, and healed my wounded mind;
I thank thee, whose enlivening voice
bids my freed heart in thee rejoice.
3 Uphold me in the doubtful race,
nor suffer me again to stray;
strengthen my feet, with steady pace
still to press forward in thy way;
that all my powers, with all their might,
in thy sole glory may unite.
4 Thee will I love, my joy, my crown;
thee will I love, my Lord, my God;
thee will I love, beneath thy frown
or smile -- thy sceptre or thy rod;
what though my flesh and heart decay,
thee shall I love in endless day. Topics: Call and Vocation; Discipleship Used With Tune: SURREY

Come Down, O Love Divine
Author: Bianco da Siena, c. 1350-1434; Richard F. Littledale, 1833-1890 Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 109 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:17-19 Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine, seek thou this soul of mine,
and visit it with thine own ardor glowing.
O Comforter, draw near; within my heart appear,
and kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn, till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let thy glorious light shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity mine outward vesture be,
and loneliness become mine inner clothing—
true lowliness of heart, which takes the humbler part,
and o'er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong, with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling;
no soul can guess its grace till it become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.

There is a balm in Gilead

and think my work’s in vain,
but then the Holy Spirit
revives my soul again. [Refrain]

if you cannot pray like Paul,
you can tell the love of Jesus,
and say, "He died for all." [Refrain]

and if you lack for knowledge
he'll ne'er refuse to lend. [Refrain]

He who on earth as man was known
Author: Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 80 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:19-23 Lyrics: 1 He who on earth as man was known,
And bore our sins and pains,
Now, seated on th' eternal throne,
The God of glory reigns.
2 His hands the wheels of nature guide,
With an unerring skill,
And countless worlds, extended wide,
Obey his sovereign will.
3 While harps unnumbered sound his praise
In yonder world above,
His saints on earth admire his ways,
And glory in his love.
4 When troubles, like a burning sun,
Beat heavy on their head,
To this almighty Rock they run,
And find a pleasing shade.
5 How glorious he! how happy they,
In such a glorious Friend!
Whose love secures them all the way,
And crowns them at the end. Topics: Christ Intercession and Reign; At the Right Hand of the Majesty on High
