There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick William Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 933 hymnals Topics: Proper 8 Year C Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy
like the wideness of the sea;
there's a kindness in God's justice
which is more than liberty.
2 There is no place where earth's sorrows
are more felt than up in heaven;
there is no place where earth's failings
have such gracious judgement given.
3 There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that Christ has shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the Head.
4 Troubled souls, why will you scatter
like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why will you wander
from a love so true and deep?
5 For the love of God is broader
than the measures of the mind,
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind. Used With Tune: GOTT WILL'S MACHEN

We Give Thee but Thine Own
Author: William Walsham How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 512 hymnals Topics: Proper 8 Year B Lyrics: 1 We give thee but thine own,
whate’er the gift may be:

Immortal Love, Forever Full
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 323 hymnals Topics: Year B Proper 8 Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love, forever full,
forever flowing free,
Forever shared, forever whole,
a never-ebbing sea!
2 Our outward lips confess the Name
all other names above;
love only knows from where it came
and comprehends God's love.
3 We may not climb the heavenly steeps
to bring the Sovereign down;
In vain we search the lowest deeps
for One no depths can drown.
4 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
this One our help will be;
For faith has still its Olivet,
and love its Galilee.
5 The healing of Christ's seamless dress
still soothes our beds of pain;
We touch it in life's throng and press,
and we are whole again.
6 Through Christ our earliest prayers are said
with words we scarce can frame;
The last low whispers of our dead
still echo with Christ's name. Scripture: Philippians 2:9-11 Used With Tune: SERENITY
Immortal Love, Forever Full

when thou camest to earth for me;
but in Bethlehem's home was there found no room
for thy holy nativity:
Refrain:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus;
there is room in my heart for thee.
2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang,
proclaiming thy royal degree;
but in lowly birth didst thou come to earth,
and in great humility: [Refrain]
3 The foxes found rest, and the bird had its nest
in the shade of the cedar tree;
but thy couch was the sod, O thou Son of God,
in the desert of Galilee: [Refrain]
4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word
that should set thy people free;
but with mocking scorn and with crown of thorn
they bore thee to Calvary: [Refrain]
5 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing,
at thy coming to victory,
let thy voice call me home, saying, 'Yet there is room,
there is room at my side for thee:' [Refrain] Scripture: Ephesians 3:17 Used With Tune: MARGARET

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,191 hymnals Topics: Proper 8 Year A Lyrics: 1 O for a heart to praise my God,
a heart from sin set free;
a heart that's sprinkled with the blood
so freely shed for me:

my great Redeemer's throne;
where only Christ is heard to speak,
where Jesus reigns alone:
3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart,
believing, true, and clean,
which neither life nor death can part
from him that dwells within:
4 A heart in every thought renewed,
and full of love divine;
perfect and right and pure and good —
a copy, Lord, of thine.
5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart,
come quickly from above;
write thy new name upon my heart,
thy new best name of Love. Scripture: Psalm 51:10 Used With Tune: STOCKTON

O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: John Ernest Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 649 hymnals Topics: Proper 8 Year A Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
remain for ever near me,
my Saviour and my friend:
I shall not fear the journey
if you are by my side,
not wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide.
2 O let me feel you near me:
the world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear;
my foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, then draw nearer
and shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear you speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
now speak, and make me listen,
O guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, you have promised
to all who follow you,
that where you are in glory
your servant shall be too.
And, Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end:
O give me grace to follow,
my Saviour and my friend. Used With Tune: DAY OF REST
O Jesus, I Have Promised
Love divine, all loves excelling
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,932 hymnals Topics: Year B Proper 8 Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling,
joy of heav'n, to earth come down,
fix in us thy humble dwelling,
all thy faithful mercies crown.
2 Jesu, thou art all compassion,
pure unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation,
enter ev'ry trembling heart.
3 Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit
into ev'ry troubled breast;
let us all in thee inherit,
let us find thy promised rest.
4 Take away our love of sinning.
Alpha and Omega be;
end of faith, as its beginning,
set our hearts at liberty.
5 Come, almighty to deliver,
let us all thy grace receive;
suddenly return, and never,
nevermore thy temples leave.
6 Thee we would be always blessing,
serve thee as thy hosts above;
pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
5 Finish then thy new creation,
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee.
6 Changed from glory into glory
till in heav'n we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise. Used With Tune: BLAENWERN

The God of Abraham praise
Author: Thomas Olivers, 1725-1799 Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 466 hymnals Topics: Year A Proper 8; Year C Proper 8 Lyrics: 1 The God of Abraham praise
who reigns enthroned above,
Ancient of everlasting Days,
and God of love:
Jehovah, great I AM,
by earth and heav'n confessed;
we bow and bless the sacred name,
for ever blest.
2 The God of Abraham praise,
at whose supreme command
from earth we rise, and seek the joys
at his right hand:
we all on earth forsake,
its wisdom, fame and pow'r;
and him our only portion make,
our shield and tow'r.
3 The God of Abraham praise,
whose all-sufficient grace
shall guide us all our happy days,
in all our ways:
he is our faithful friend;
he is our gracious God;
and he will save us to the end,
through Jesus' blood.
4 He by himself has sworn -
we on his oath depend -
we shall, on eagles' wings upborne,
to heav'n ascend:
we shall behold his face,
we shall his pow'r adore,
and sing the wonders of his grace
for evermore.
5 The whole triumphant host
give thanks to God on high;
'Hail, Father, Son and Holy Ghost!'
they ever cry:
Hail, Abraham's God and ours!
We join the heav'nly throng,
and celebrate with all our pow'rs
in endless song.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:12 Used With Tune: LEONI Text Sources: Hebrew "Yigdal"
