Lo, God is here; let us adore

Author: Gerhard Tersteegen 1697-1769; John Wesley 1703-91 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 293 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo! God is here; let us adore! How awe-inspiring is this place! Let all within us feel his power, and silent bow before his face; who know this power, his grace who prove, serve him with fear, with reverence love. 2 Lo, God is here! whom day and night the choirs of holy angels sing; to him, enthroned above all height, heaven's host their noblest praises bring; do not despise our humbler song, who praise you with a faltering tongue. 3 Being of beings! may our praise your courts with grateful fragrance fill; still may we stand before your face, still hear and do your sovereign will; to you may all our thoughts arise, ceaseless, accepted sacrifice.

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 562 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, and feed me with a shepherd's care; his presence shall my wants supply, and guard me with a watchful eye; my noonday walks he shall attend, and all my midnight hours defend. 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint, or on the thirsty mountain pant, to fertile vales and dewy meads my weary wandering steps he leads, where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, amid the verdant landscape flow. 3 Though in a bare and rugged way through devious lonely wilds I stray, thy bounty shall my pains beguile; the barren wilderness shall smile with sudden greens and herbage crowned, and streams shall murmur all around. 4 Though in the paths of death I tread, with gloomy horrors overspread, my steadfast heart shall fear no ill, for thou, 0 Lord, art with me still: thy friendly crook shall give me aid, and guide me through the dreadful shade.

And can it be, that I should gain

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 307 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And can it be, that I should gain an interest in the Saviour's blood? Died he for me, who caused his pain -- for me, who him to death pursued? Amazing love! how can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me? 2 'Tis mystery all: the Immortal dies! Who can explore his strange design? In vain the firstborn seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine. 'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, let angel minds inquire no more. 3 He left his Father's throne above, -- so free, so infinite his grace -- emptied himself of all but love, and bled for Adam's helpless race: 'tis mercy all, immense and free; for, O my God, it found out me! 4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay fast bound in sin and nature's night; thine eye diffused a quickening ray; I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; my chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed thee. 5 No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in him, is mine! Alive in him, my living Head, and clothed in righteousness divine, bold I approach the eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ, my own.
