The Holiness of God
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 217 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 8:13 First Line: Holy and reverend is the name Lyrics: 1 Holy and reverend is the name
Of our eternal King;
Thrice holy Lord! the angels cry,
Thrice holy, let us sing.
2 Heaven's brightest lamps with him compar'd,
How mean they look, and dim!
The fairest angels have their spots
When once compar'd with him.
3 Holy is he in all his works,
And truth is his delight,
But sinners and their wicked ways
Shall perish from his sight.
4 The deepest reverence of the mind,
Pay, O my soul to God;
Lift with thy hands, a holy heart
To his sublime abode.
4 With sacred awe pronounce his name,
Whom words nor thoughts can reach;
A broken heart shall please him more
Than the best forms of speech.
5 Thou holy God! preserve my soul
From all pollution free;
The pure in heart are thy delight,
And they thy face shall see.

The Holiness of God
The Sands of Time Are Sinking
Author: Anne R. Cousin Appears in 311 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 8:8 Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking,
The dawn of heaven breaks;
The summer morn I've sighed for,
The fair, sweet morn awakes:
Dark, dark hath been the midnight,
But day-spring is at hand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land.
2 O Christ, He is the fountain,
The deep, sweet well of love!
The streams on earth I've tasted,
More deep I'll drink above:
There to an ocean fulness
His mercy doth expand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land.
3 O, I am my Beloved's,
And my Beloved's mine!
He brings a poor vile sinner
Into His "house of wine."
I stand upon His merit,
I know no other stand,
No e'en where glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land.
4 The Bride eyes not her garment,
But her dear Bridegroom's face;
I will not gaze at glory
But on my King of grace.
Not at the crown He giveth
But on His piercèd hand,
The Lamb is all the glory
Of Emmanuel's land.
Amen.

The Sands of Time Are Sinking
At the name of Jesus
Author: Carolin M. Noel, 1817-1877 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 252 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 8:6 Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus
every knee shall bow,
every tongue confess him
King of glory now:
'tis the Father's pleasure
we should call him Lord,
who from the beginning
was the mighty Word.
*2 At his voice creation
sprang at once to sight,
all the angel faces,
all the hosts of light,
thrones and dominations,
stars upon their way,
all the heavenly orders,
in their great array.
3 Humbled for a season,
to receive a name
from the lips of sinners
unto whom he came,
faithfully he bore it
spotless to the last,
brought it back victorious,
when from death he passed:
*4 Bore it up triumphant
with its human light,
through all ranks of creatures,
to the central height,
to the throne of Godhead,
to the Father's breast;
filled it with the glory,
of that perfect rest.
5 Name him, Christians, name him,
with love strong as death,
but with awe and wonder
and with bated breath:
he is God the Saviour,
he is Christ the Lord,
ever to be worshipped,
trusted, and adored.
*6 In your hearts enthrone him;
there let him subdue
all that is not holy,
all that is not true:
crown him as your Captain
in temptation's hour;
let his will enfold you
in its light and power.
7 Surely, this Lord Jesus
shall return again,
with his Father's glory,
with his angel train;
for all wreaths of empire
meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him
King of glory now. Topics: Lent II Year B; Easter VII Year C; Proper 5 Year A; Ascension Used With Tune: EVELYNS

Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Meter: 7.7.7.5 Appears in 204 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 8:6 Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost,
taught by thee, we covet most
of thy gifts at Pentecost,
holy, heavenly love.
2 Love is kind, and suffers long,
love is meek, and thinks no wrong,
love than death itself more strong;
therefore give us love.
3 Prophecy will fade away,
melting in the light of day;
love will ever with us stay;
therefore give us love.
4 Faith will vanish into sight;
hope be emptied in delight;
love in heaven will shine more bright;
therefore give us love.
5 Faith and hope and love we see
joining hand in hand agree;
but the greatest of the three,
and the best, is love.
6 From the overshadowing
of thy gold and silver wing
shed on us, who to thee sing,
holy, heavenly love. Topics: Pentecost; Pentecost Year B Used With Tune: CHARITY

Jesus, my all to heaven is gone
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 784 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus my all to heaven is gone,
He whom I fix my hopes upon:
His track I see, and I'll pursue
The narrow way, till him I view.
2 The way the holy prophets went,
The road that leads from banishment,
The King's high way of holiness--
I'll go, for all his paths are peace.
3 This is the way I long have sought,
And mourned because I found it not;
My grief a burden long has been,
Because I was not saved from sin.
4 The more I strove against its power,
I felt its weight and guilt the more;
Till late I heard my Saviour say,
Come hither, soul, I am the way.
5 Lo! glad I come, and thou blest Lamb
Shalt take me to thee, whose I am:
Nothing but sin have I to give;
Nothing but love shall I receive!
6 Then will I tell to sinners round,
What a dear Saviour I have found;
I'll point to thy redeeming blood,
And say, Behold the way to God! Topics: Spiritual Songs
Jesus, my all to heaven is gone
Hark, my soul, it is the Lord
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 685 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 8:6 Lyrics: 1 Hark, my soul, it is the Lord;
'tis thy Saviour, hear his word;
Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee,
'Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?
2 'I delivered thee when bound,
and, when wounded, healed thy wound;
sought thee wandering, set thee right,
turned thy darkness into light.
3 'Can a woman's tender care
cease towards the child she bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be,
yet will I remember thee.
4 'Mine is an unchanging love,
higher than the heights above,
deeper than the depths beneath,
free and faithful, strong as death.
5 'Thou shalt see my glory soon,
when the work of grace is done;
partner of my throne shalt be:
say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?'
6 Lord, it is my chief complaint
that my love is weak and faint;
yet I love thee, and adore;
O for grace to love thee more! Topics: Proper 12 Year C; Proper 20 Year C Used With Tune: ST BEES

O Love divine, how sweet thou art!
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 379 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 8:6 Lyrics: 1 O love divine, how sweet thou art!
When shall I find my longing heart
all taken up by thee?
I thirst, I faint, I die to prove
the greatness of redeeming love,
the love of Christ to me.
2 Stronger his love than death or hell;
its riches are unsearchable:
the first-born sons of light
desire in vain its depth to see;
they cannot reach the mystery,
the length and breadth and height.
*3 God only knows the love of God;
O that it now were shed abroad
in this poor stony heart!
For love I sigh, for love I pine;
this only portion, Lord, be mine,
be mine this better part.
4 For ever would I take my seat
with Mary at the Master's feet:
be this my happy choice;
my only care, delight, and bliss,
my joy, my heaven on earth, be this,
to hear the Bridegroom's voice!
5 Thy only love do I require,
nothing on earth beneath desire,
nothing in heaven above:
let earth and heaven, and all things go,
give me thine only love to know,
give me thine only love. Topics: Lent I Year A; Proper 6 Year A; Proper 11 Year C Used With Tune: CORNWALL
O Love divine, how sweet thou art!
