Our life is but a span
Author: Stephen Greenleaf Bulfinch Hymnal: Singers and Songs of the Liberal Faith #239 (1875) Topics: Conversation with Nicodemus
Our life is but a span
Let Pharisees of high esteem
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #316 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Converse with God Lyrics:
Let Pharisees of high esteem
Their faith and zeal declare,
All their religion is a dream,
If love be wanting there.
Love suffers long with patient eye,
Nor is provoked in haste;
She lets the present injury die,
And long forgets the past.
[Malice and rage, those fires of hell,
She quenches with her tongue;
Hopes and believes, and thinks no ill,
Though she endure the wrong.]
[She nor desires nor seeks to know
The scandals of the time;
Nor looks with pride on those below,
Nor envies those that climb.]
She lays her own advantage by
To seek her neighbor's good;
So God's own Son came down to die,
And bought our lives with blood.
Love is the grace that keeps her power
In all the realms above;
There faith and hope are known no more,
But saints for ever love.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:2-7 Languages: English
Let Pharisees of high esteem
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #319 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Converse with God Lyrics:
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews,
And nobler speech, that angels use,
If love be absent, I am found,
Like tinkling brass, an empty sound.
Were I inspired to preach and tell
All that is done in heav'n and hell;
Or could my faith the world remove,
Still I am nothing without love.
Should I distribute all my store
To feed the bowels of the poor,
Or give my body to the flame,
To gain a martyr's glorious name;
If love to God and love to men
Be absent, all my hopes are vain;
Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal,
The work of love can e'er fulfil.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 Languages: English
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews
When Jesus, our great Master, came
Hymnal: The New Hymn Book, Designed for Universalist Societies #360 (1833) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: A Conversation becoming the Gospel
When Jesus, our great Master, came
To thee, before the dawning light
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #409 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Converse with God Lyrics:
To thee, before the dawning light
My gracious God, I pray;
I meditate thy name by night,
And keep thy law by day.
My spirit faints to see thy grace,
Thy promise bears me up;
And while salvation long delays,
Thy word supports my hope.
Seven times a day I lift my hands,
And pay my thanks to thee;
Thy righteous providence demands
Repeated praise from me.
When midnight darkness veils the skies,
I call thy works to mind;
My thoughts in warm devotion rise,
And sweet acceptance find.
Scripture: Psalm 119 Languages: English
To thee, before the dawning light
Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #453 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Converse with God Lyrics:
Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell
By faith and love in every breast;
Then shall we know, and taste, and feel
The joys that cannot be expressed.
Come, fill our hearts with inward strength,
Make our enlarged souls possess,
And learn the height, and breadth, and length
Of thine unmeasurable grace.
Now to the God whose power can do
More than our thoughts or wishes know,
Be everlasting honors done
By all the church, through Christ his Son.
Scripture: Ephesians 3:16 Languages: English
Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell
