Eternal God, Your Love's Tremendous Glory
Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1, 2:1-4 Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, your love's tremendous glory
cascades through life in overflowing grace,
to tell creation's meaning in the story
of love evolving love from time and space.
2 Eternal Son of God, uniquely precious,
in you, deserted, scorned and crucified,
God's love has fathomed sin and death's deep darkness,
and flawed humanity is glorified.
3 Eternal Spirit, with us like a mother,
embracing us in love serene and pure:
you nurture strength to follow Christ our brother,
as full-grown children, confident and sure.
4 Love's trinity, self-perfect, self-sustaining;
love which commands, enables and obeys:
you give yourself, in boundless joy, creating
one vast increasing harmony of praise.
5 We ask you now, complete your image in us;
this love of yours, our source and guide and goal.
May love in us, seek love and serve love's purpose,
till we ascend with Christ and find love whole. Topics: Trinity; Baptism (general); Images of God Used With Tune: HIGHWOOD

Eternal Father, Strong to Save
Author: William Whiting, 1825-1878 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 425 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1:2-3 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm has bound the restless wave,
Who bade the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep:
O hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea.
2 O Savior, whose almighty word
The wind and waves submissive heard,
Who walked upon the foaming deep,
And calm amid its rage did sleep:
O hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea.
3 O Holy Spirit, who did brood
Upon the chaos wild and rude,
And bade its angry tumult cease,
And gave, for fierce confusion, peace:
O hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and pow'r,
All travelers guard in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them where-so-e'er they go;
Thus evermore shall rise to thee
Glad praise from air and land and sea.

Ever fainting with desire
Author: C. Wesley Meter: Irregular Appears in 44 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 15:1 Lyrics: 1 Ever fainting with desire,
For thee, O Christ, I call;
Thee I restlessly require;
I want my God, my all.
Jesus, dear redeeming Lord,
I wait thy coming from above;
Help me, Saviour, speak the word,
And perfect me in love.
2 Wilt thou suffer me to go
Lamenting all my days?
Shall I never, never know
Thy sanctifying grace?
Wilt thou not thy light afford?
The darkness from my soul remove?
Help me, Saviour, speak the word,
And perfect me in love.
3 Thou my life, my treasure be,
My portion here below:
Nothing would I seek but thee--
Thee only would I know;
My exceeding great reward--
My heaven on earth, my heaven above:
Help me, Saviour, speak the word,
And perfect me in love. Topics: The Christian System Adoption And Sanctification; Speak the Word

Eternal Power, whose high abode
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 226 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 18:27 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power, whose high abode
Becomes the grandeur of a God:
In vain the loftiest angel tries
To reach thy height with wondering eyes.
2 Thy dazzling glories while he sings,
He hides his face beneath his wings;
Seraphs that most with ardor glow,
Still at an humble distance bow.
3 Earth from afar has heard thy fame,
And worms have learned to lisp thy name;
But oh, the glories of thy mind
Leave all our soaring thoughts behind.
4 God is in heaven and man below;
Soft be our strains, our words be few;
A sacred reverence checks our songs,
And praise sits trembling on our tongues.

Eternal Power, whose high abode
Esau
Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 24:31 First Line: Poor Esau repented too late Lyrics: 1 Poor Esau repented too late,
That once he his Birth-Right despis'd;
And sold, for a Morsel of Meat,
What could not too highly be priz'd:
How great was his Anguish when told
The Blessing he sought to obtain,
Was gone with the Birth-Right he sold,
And none could recall it again!
2 He stands as a Warning to all,
Wherever the Gospel shall come:
O hasten and yield to the Call,
While yet for Repentance there's Room!
Your Season will quickly be past,
Then hear, and obey it to-day;
Lest when you seek Mercy at last,
The Saviour should frown you away.
3 What is it the World can propose?
A Morsel of Meat at the best!
For this are you willing to lose
A share in the Joys of the Blest?
Its Pleasures will speedily end,
Its Favour and praise are but Breath:
And what can its Profits befriend
Your Soul in the Moment of Death?
4 If Jesus for these you despise,
And Sin to the Saviour prefer,
In vain your Entreaties and Cries,
When summon'd to stand at his Bar:
How will you his Presence abide?
What Anguish will Torture your Heart?
The Saints all enthron'd by his Side,
And you be compell'd to depart!
5 Too often, Dear Saviour, have I
Preferr'd some Poor Trifle to Thee;
How is it thou dost not deny
The Blessing and Birth-Right to me?
No better than Esau I am,
Tho' Pardon and Heaven be mine;
To me belongs nothing but Shame,
The Praise and the Glory be thine. Topics: liturgical Confession Songs; Penitential Hymns
