O love of God, how strong and true
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 110 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84 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 wide-embracing, wondrous love,
We read you in the sky above,
we read you in the earth below,
in seas that swell and streams that flow.
3 We read you best in him who came
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 your power to bless and save
ev'n in the darkness of the grave;
still more in resurrection light
we read the fullness of your might.
5 O love of God, our shield and stay
through all the perils of our way;
eternal love, in you we rest,
for ever safe, for ever blest.

through timeless years!

in prophet’s word it spoke of old—
is speaking still.
Established is God’s law,
and changeless it shall stand,
deep writ upon the human heart,
on sea, or land.
3 God plants eternal life
within the human soul.

while ages roll.

From Glory Unto Glory!
Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 64 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84:7 Lyrics: 1 From glory unto glory!
Be this our joyous song
As on our heavenly King’s highway,
We bravely march along.
From glory unto glory!
O word of stirring cheer,
As dawns the solemn brightness of
Another glad New Year.
2 The fullness of His blessing
Encompasseth our way;
The fullness of His promises
Crowns every brightening day;
The fullness of His glory
Is beaming from above,
While more and more we learn to know
The fullness of His love.
3 Oh, let our adoration
For all that He hath done
Peal out beyond the stars of God,
While voice and life are one;
And let our consecration
Be real and deep and true;
O even now our hearts shall bow,
And joyful vows renew.
4 Now onward, ever onward,
From strength to strength we go,
While grace for grace abundantly
Shall from His fullness flow,
To glory’s full fruition,
From glory’s foretaste here,
Until His very presence crown
Our happiest New Year.
Amen. Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE
From Glory Unto Glory!
