the world's foundations first were laid,
come, visit ev'ry waiting mind;
come, pour your joys on humankind.
From sin and sorrow set us free;
may we your living temples be.
2 O Source of light, our Counselor
the Father's help to us assure,
Come down, as promised, with your fire,
and hearts with heav'nly love inspire.
Your sacred, healing message bring
to sanctify us when we sing.
3 Giver of grace, descend from high
in answer to our earnest cry.
Help us eternal truths receive
and practice all that we believe.
Give us your wisdom that we see
the glory of the Trinity.
4 Immortal honor, endless fame,
attend th'almighty Father's name;
the Savior-Son be glorified,
who for all humankind has died;
and equal adoration rise
to you, O Spirit, in the skies. Topics: Work of the Spirit Used With Tune: ALL EHR UND LOB

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
