Beyond, Beyond That Boundless Sea
Author: Josiah Conder Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 80 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Beyond, beyond that boundless sea,
Above the dome of sky,
Farther than thought itself can flee,
Thy dwelling is on high;
Yet dear the awful thought to me,
That Thou, my God, art nigh.
2. Art nigh, and yet my laboring mind
Feels after Thee in vain,
Thee in these works of power to find,
Or to Thy seat attain;
Thy messenger, the stormy wind;
Thy path, the trackless main;
3. These speak of Thee with loud acclaim:
They thunder forth Thy praise,
The glorious honor of Thy name,
The wonders of Thy ways;
But Thou art not in tempest-flame,
Nor in day’s glorious blaze.
4. We hear Thy voice, when thunders roll
Through the wide fields of air:
The waves obey Thy dread control;
Yet still Thou art not there.
Where shall I find Him, O my soul,
Who yet is everywhere?
5. O! not in circling depth or height,
But in the conscious breast,
Present to faith, though veiled from sight,
There doth His Spirit rest.
O come, Thou Presence infinite!
And make Thy creature blest. Used With Tune: SHERWOOD Text Sources: The Star in the East, 1824
Beyond, Beyond That Boundless Sea
From Bethlehem to Calvary
Author: Meredith Nicholson, 1866-1947 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. From Bethlehem to Calvary,
The Savior’s journey lay;
Doubt, unbelief, scorn, fear and hate
Beset Him day by day,
But in His heart He bore God’s love
That brightened all the way.
2. O’er the Judean hills He walked,
Serene and brave of soul,
He sought the beaten paths of men,
He touched and made them whole;
He died at last for love of man,
On Calvary’s darkened knoll.
3. He went with patient steps and slow,
As one who scatters seed;
Like a fierce hunger in His heart,
He felt the world’s great need,
And the negations Moses gave
He changed to loving deed.
4. From Bethlehem to Calvary
The world still follows on,
E’en as the halt and blind of old
Along His path were drawn;
Through Calvary’s clouds they seek the light
That led Him to the dawn. Used With Tune: SHERWOOD
