Author: John Ellerton Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 283 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:10 First Line: The day thou gavest, Lord is ended Lyrics: 1 The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended; the darkness falls at thy behest. To thee our morning hymns ascended; thy praise shall hallow now our rest. 2 We thank thee that thy church unsleeping, while earth rolls onward into light, through all the world a watch is keeping and rests not now by day or night. 3 As o’er each continent and island the dawn leads on another day, the voice of prayer is never silent, nor dies the song of praise away. 4 The sun that bids us rest is waking thy children ‘neath the western sky, and hour by hour fresh lips are making thy wondrous doings heard on high. 5 So be it, Lord; thy throne shall never, like earth's proud empires, pass away; thy kingdom stands, and grows forever until there dawns thy glorious day.

The unsearchable riches of Christ

Appears in 60 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:8 First Line: How shall I my savior set forth Lyrics: 1 How shall I my savior set forth? How shall I his beauties declare? Or how shall I speak of His worth, Or what His chief dignities are? His angels can never express, Nor saints who sit nearest his throne, How rich are his treasures of grace:— No! this is a mystery unknown. 2 In him all the fulness of God For ever transcendently shines; Tho' once like a mortal he stood To finish his gracious designs: Tho’ once he was nail'd to the cross, Vile rebels like me to set free, His glory sustained no loss, Eternal his kingdom shall be. 3 His wisdom, his love, and his power, Seem'd then with each other to vie, When sinners he stoop'd to restore, Poor sinners condemned to die! He laid all his grandeur aside, And dwelt in a cottage of clay, Poor sinners he lov'd, tillhe dy'd To wash their pollutions away. 4 O sinners, believe and adore This savior so rich to redeem! No creature can ever explore The treasure of goodness in him: Come, all ye who see yourselves lost, And feel yourselves burden'd with sin, Draw near while with terror you’re toss'd; Believe, and your peace shall begin. 5 Now, sinners, attend to his call, "Whoso hath an ear let him hear," He promises mercy to all Who feel their sad wants, far and near: He riches has ever in store, And treasures that never can waste: Here's Pardon, here's grace, yea and more, Here's glory eternal at last.

To redeem our Souls he comes

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Ephesians 3:10 Lyrics: 1 To redeem our Souls he comes, And our earthy Man assumes; All his Image fully bears, All his Curse, and Sin, and Fears, Sunk to all his Hell; Follow'd him where e'er he fell, Careful still for to expose Sin to all deserved Woes. 2 Thro' his Side and pierced Heart; Thro' each nervous tender Part, The awaken'd Sword of God, Bath'd in Heav'n, in Sinners Blood. O! the Mystery, Thro' his Body's Agony, The Battle enter'd to his Soul, Floods of Wrath did o'er him roll. 3 Sweat, and Blood, and streaming Wounds, Cover him, whilst dreadful Sounds Rend the frighted Atmosphere, Piercing ev'ry hearing Ear: Most confused Noise! Now we hear the Conq'ror's Voice; Then deep Groans and horrid Yell, All the wild uproar of Hell. 4 See the Battle fiercer grow; Blood in mighty Torrents flow; Quakes the Earth, and rends the Rocks, Nature fells tremendous Shocks, Whilst the Sun, by Flight, Speaks the near approach of Night; Bury'ng all the Conq'rors Wrath In the vanquish'd Rebels Death.
