Thou Fount of life and fire! Surpassing all the joys we know, All that we can desire,-- 4 May every heart confess Thy Name, And ever Thee adore; And, seeking Thee, itself inflame To seek Thee ore and more. 5 Thee may our tongues forever bless; Thee may we love alone; And ever in our lives express The image of Thine own.

Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee. 5 Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here's my heart; O take and seal it, Seal it from Thy courts above.

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,272 hymnals Topics: Advent, Second Sunday Lyrics: 1 When I can read my title clear To mansions in the skies, I bid farewell to every fear, And wipe my weeping eyes. 2 Should earth against my soul engage, And hellish darts be hurled; Then I can smile at Satan's rage, And face a frowning world. 3 Let cares like a wild deluge come, And storms of sorrow fall, May I but safely reach my home, My God, my heaven, my all! 4 There shall I bathe my weary soul In seas of heavenly rest; And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast.

Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 82 hymnals Topics: Second Sunday Before Advent Year B Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the anthem, cleave the skies with shouts of praise; sing to him who found the ransom, Ancient of eternal Days, God of God, the Word incarnate, whom the heaven of heaven obeys. 2 Ere he raised the lofty mountains, formed the seas, or built the sky, love eternal, free, and boundless, moved the Lord of life to die, fore-ordained the Prince of princes for the throne of Calvary. 3 There, for us and our redemption, see him all his life-blood pour! There he wins our full salvation, dies that we may die no more; then, arising, lives for ever, reigning where he was before. 4 High on yon celestial mountains stands his sapphire throne, all bright, midst unending alleluias bursting from the sons of light; Zion's people tell his praises, victor after hard-won fight. *5 Bring your harps, and bring your incense, sweep the string and pour the lay; let the earth proclaim his wonders, King of that celestial day; he the Lamb once slain is worthy, who was dead, and lives for ay. 6 Laud and honour to the Father, laud and honour to the Son, laud and honour to the Spirit, ever Three and ever One, consubstantial, co-eternal, while unending ages run.

Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days. 3 Cure thy children's warring madness, bend our pride to thy control; shame our wanton selfish gladness, rich in goods and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss thy kingdom's goal. 4 Set our feet on lofty places, gird our lives that they may be armoured with all Christlike graces in the fight till all be free. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, that we fail not earth nor thee. Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10 Used With Tune: WEBBE'S ST THOMAS
