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.

O Love Divine! what hast Thou done!

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 154 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Love Divine! what hast Thou done! The incarnate God hath died for me! The Father's co-eternal Son Bore all my sins upon the tree: The incarnate God for me hath died; My Lord, my Love, is crucified. 2 Behold Him, all ye that pass by, The bleeding Prince of Life and Peace! Come, sinners, see your Saviour die, And say, was ever grief like His! Come, feel with me His blood applied; My Lord, my Love, is crucified. 3 Is crucified for me and you, To bring us rebels back to God; Believer, believe the record true; Ye all are bought with Jesus' blood; Pardon for all flows from His side; My Lord, my Love, is crucified. 4 Then let us sit beneath His cross, And gladly catch the healing stream; All things for Him account but loss, And give up all our hearts to Him; Of nothing think or speak beside My Lord, my Love is crucified.
