Let Those Who Doubt The Heavenly Source

Author: John Bowring Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Let those who doubt the heavenly source Of revelation’s page divine, Use as their weapons fraud and force— No such unhallowed arms are mine. I only wield its holy word— Reason its shield, and truth its sword. 2 I doubt not—my religion stands A beacon on the eternal rock— Let malice throw her fiery brands; Its sacred fane has stood the shock Of ages—and shall tower sublime Above the waves and winds of time. 3 Infinite wisdom formed the plan; Infinite power supports the pile; Infinite goodness poured on man Its radiant light—its cheering smile. Need they thy aid? Poor worm! Thy aid? O mad presumption—vain parade! 4 Thou wilt not trust th’Almighty One With His own thunders—thou wouldst throw The bolts of Heaven! O senseless son Of dust and darkness! Spider! Go, And with thy cobweb bind the tide, And the swift, dazzling comet guide. 5 Yes! Force has conquering reasons given, And chains and tortures argue well— And thou hast proved thy faith from Heaven, By weapons thou hast brought from hell. Yes! Thou hast made thy title good, For thou hast signed the deed with blood. 6 Daring impostor! Sure that God Whose advocate thou feign’st to be, Will smite thee with that awful rod Which thou wouldst seize—and pour on thee The vial of that wrath, which thou Wouldst empty on thy brother’s brow.

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me

Author: J. Wesley; P. Gerhardt Appears in 355 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; O knit my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there! Thine wholly, thine alone, I am; Be Thou alone my constant flame. 2 O grant that nothing in my soul May dwell, but Thy pure love alone! O may Thy love possess me whole, My joy, my treasure, and my crown! Strange flames far from my heart remove; May every act, word, thought, be love! 3 O love, how cheering is thy ray! All pain before thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek, but Thee! 4 Still let Thy love point out my way! What wondrous things Thy love hath wrought! Still lead me, lest I go astray; Direct my word, inspire my thought; And if I fall, soon may I hear Thy voice, and know that love is near. 5 In suffering, be Thy love my peace; In weakness, be Thy love my power; And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in that dark, final hour Of death, be Thou my Guide and Friend, That I may love Thee without end.

We have not known thee as we ought

Author: Thomas Benson Pollock Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 49 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We have not known thee as we ought, Nor learned thy wisdom, grace and pow'r; The things of earth have filled our thought, And trifles of the passing hour. Lord, give us light thy truth to see, And make us wise in knowing thee. 2 We have not feared thee as we ought, Nor bowed beneath thine awful eye, Nor guarded deed, and word, and thought, Remembering that God was nigh. Lord, give us faith to know thee near, And grant the grace of holy fear. 3 We have not loved thee as we ought, Nor cared that we are loved by thee; Thy presence we have coldly sought, And feebly longed thy face to see. Lord, give a pure and loving heart To feel and own the love thou art. 4 We have not served thee as we ought; Alas! the duties left undone, The work with little fervor wrought, The battles lost, or scarcely won! Lord, give the zeal, and give the might, For thee to toil, for thee to fight. 5 When shall we know thee as we ought, And fear, and love, and serve aright! When shall we, out of trial brought, Be perfect in the land of light! Lord, may we day by day prepare To see thy face, and serve thee there. Amen.
