O Lord, Who in Thy Love Divine
Author: C. Wordsworth, 1807-85 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #505 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, Who in Thy love divine
Didst safely leave the ninety-nine,
In pity for a world undone,
And gav'st Thy life to save the one,
And didst it on Thy shoulders bear
In joy to heav'n, receive our prayer.
2 Thou who the night in pray'r didst spend
And then Thy Twelve Apostles send;
And bidd'st us pray the harvest's Lord
To send forth sowers of the Word,
Hear us and these Thy servants bless
With sev'nfold gifts of holiness.
3 Look down, with gracious eye behold,
With watchful care protect Thy fold;
Secure from hireling shepherds keep,
Which feed themselves, and not the sheep,
And when the prowling wolf is nigh,
Forsake the flock in fear and fly.
4 O Thou, who didst at Pentecost
Send down from heav'n the Holy Ghost
That He might with Thy Church abide
Forever to defend and guide,
Illuminate and strengthen, Lord,
The preachers of Thy holy Word.
5 May all Thy pastors faithful be;
Not lab'ring for themselves, but Thee;
And may they feed with wholesome food
The sheep and lambs bought by Thy blood;
Tending Thy flock, O may they prove
How dearly they the Shepherd love!
6 That which the Holy Scriptures teach,
That, and that only, may they preach;
May they the true foundation lay,
Build gold thereon, not wood or hay;
And meekly preach in days of strife
The sermon of a holy life.
7 As ever in Thy holy eyes,
And stewards of Thy mysteries,
May they the people teach to see
Not, Lord, Thy ministers, but Thee;
To see a loving Savior's face
Revealed in all the means of grace.
8 May they Thy Word with boldness speak
And bear with tenderness the weak;
Not seeking their own things as best,
But what may edify the rest;
With wisdom and simplicity
And, most of all, with charity.
9 O may Thy people faithful be,
And in Thy pastors honor Thee,
And working with them for them pray,
And gladly Thee in them obey;
Receive the prophet of the Lord
And gain the prophet's own reward.
10 So may we, when our work is done,
Together stand before the throne;
And joyful hearts and voices raise,
In one united song of praise,
With all the bright celestial host,
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Thou Who the Night in Prayer Didst Spend

Thou Who the Night in Prayer Didst Spend
A heavenly splendour from on high
Author: George Boorne Timms, 1910-1997 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #757 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A heavenly splendour from on high,
a light too great for mortal eye,
deprives the hunter of his prey
and turns his threatening wrath away.
2 In darkened eyes, an inward light
begins to shine upon his sight,
as in his heart he hears the call
to follow, and surrender all.
3 The Christ, for sinners crucified,
whose risen power he had denied,
now claims this servant for his own,
and bids him make the gospel known.
4 The nations listen to his voice,
and in the peace of Christ rejoice;
the Church on earth his praises sing,
who led the Gentiles to their King.
5 Blest Paul, the convert of the Lord,
may heaven's light to us afford
a blindness to the lures of sin,
that we with thee a crown may win
6 To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, Three in One,
from saints on earth and saints in heaven,
let everlasting praise be given. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days Conversion of St. Paul Languages: English Tune Title: ST PETERSBURG
A heavenly splendour from on high
O God, of Good the Unfathomed Sea
Author: Johann Scheffler; John Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4888 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. O God, of good the unfathomed sea!
Who would not give his heart to Thee?
Who would not love Thee with his might?
O Jesus, lover of mankind,
Who would not his whole soul and mind,
With all his strength, to Thee unite?
2. Thou shin’st with everlasting rays;
Before the insufferable blaze
Angels with both wings veil their eyes;
Yet free as air Thy bounty streams
On all thy works; Thy mercy’s beams
Diffusive as Thy sun’s arise.
3. Astonished at Thy frowning brow,
Earth, hell, and Heaven’s strong pillars bow;
Terrible majesty is Thine!
Who then can that vast love express
Which bows Thee down to me, who less
Than nothing am, till Thou art mine?
4. High throned upon Heaven’s eternal hill,
In number, weight, and measure still
Thou sweetly orderest all that is:
And yet Thou deign’st to come to me,
And guide my steps, that I, with Thee
Enthroned, may reign in endless bliss.
5. Fountain of good, all blessing flows
From Thee; no want Thy fullness knows;
What but Thyself canst Thou desire?
Yet, self-sufficient as Thou art,
Thou dost desire my worthless heart;
This, only this, dost Thou require.
6. Primeval beauty! in Thy sight
The first-born, fairest sons of light
See all their brightest glories fade:
What then to me Thine eyes could turn,
In sin conceived, of woman born,
A worm, a leaf, a blast, a shade?
7. Hell’s armies tremble at Thy nod,
And trembling own the almighty God,
Sovereign of earth, hell, air, and sky:
But who is this that comes from far,
Whose garments rolled in blood appear?
’Tis God made man, for man to die!
8. O God, of good the unfathomed sea!
Who would not give his heart to Thee?
Who would not love Thee with his might?
O Jesus, lover of mankind,
Who would not his whole soul and mind,
With all his strength, to Thee unite? Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETERSBURG
