The Spirit breathes upon the word
Author: Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 263 hymnals Scripture: Romans 15:4 Lyrics: 1 The Spirit breathes upon the word,
And brings the truth to sight;
Precepts and promises afford
A sanctifying light.
2 A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic, like the sun;
It gives a light to every age;--
It gives, but borrows none.
3 The hand that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat;
Its truths upon the nations rise;--
They rise, but never set.
4 Let everlasting thanks be thine,
For such a bright display
As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heavenly day.
5 My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of him I love,
Till glory breaks upon my view,
In bright worlds above.
Topics: The Bible; Glory of the Gospel

in humble hope our charge resign:
when the good Shepherd shall appear,

Rest upon this congregation,
great distributor of grace!

Through the love of God our Saviour
Father of mercies! send thy grace
Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 178 hymnals Scripture: Romans 15:2-3 Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies! send thy grace,
All-powerful from above,
To form, in our obedient souls,
The image of thy love.
2 Oh, may our sympathizing breasts
The generous pleasure know,
Kindly to share in others' joy,
And weep for others' woe!
3 When the most helpless sons of grief
In low distress are laid,
Soft be our hearts their pains to feel,
And swift our hands to aid.
4 So Jesus looked on dying men,
When throned above the skies;
And 'mid the embraces of his God,
He felt compassion rise.
5 On wings of love the Saviour flew,
To raise us from the ground,
And made the richest of his blood
A balm for every wound. Topics: The Christian Church Fellowship; Brotherly Kindness
Father of mercies! send thy grace
I love the volume of thy word
Author: Watts Appears in 175 hymnals Scripture: Romans 15:4 Lyrics: 1 I love the volume of thy word;
What light and joy those leaves afford
To souls benighted and distressed!
Thy precepts guide my doubtful way,
Thy fear forbids my feet to stray,
Thy promise leads my heart to rest.
2 From the discoveries of thy law,
Thy perfect rules of life I draw:
These are my study and delight;
Not honey so invites the taste,
Nor gold that has the furnace passed,
Appears so pleasing to the sight.
3 Who knows the errors of his thoughts?
My God! forgive my secret faults,
And from presumptuous sins restrain;
Accept my poor attempts of praise,
That I have read thy book of grace,
And book of nature, not in vain.
Topics: The Bible; The Great Light
I love the volume of thy word
