Father, how wide Thy glory shines!

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 313 hymnals Topics: Sin and Redemption; Epiphany, Fifth Sunday; Septuagesima Sunday; Quinquagesima Sunday; Lent, Second Sunday; Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Father, how wide Thy glory shines! How high thy wonders rise! Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousands through the skies. 2 Those mighty orbs proclaim Thy power, Their motions speak Thy skill; And on the wings of every hour We read Thy patience still. 3 But when we view Thy grand design To save rebellious worms, Where justice and compassion join In their divinest forms; 4 Our thoughts are lost in reverent awe: We love and we adore; Thy first archangel never saw So much of God before. 5 Then sinners break the Father's laws, The dying Son atones; Oh, the dear mysteries of His Cross! The triumph of His groans! Used With Tune: ABRIDGE

Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee

Author: Francis Scott Key Meter: 8.7 Appears in 283 hymnals Topics: Sin and Redemption; Quinquagesima Sunday; Lent, Second Sunday; Third Sunday after Trinity; Twelfth Sunday after Trinity; Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee For the bliss Thy love bestows, For the pardoning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows. Help, O God, my weak endeavor; This dull soul to rapture raise: Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise. 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, Wretched wanderer, far astray; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away. Praise, with love's devoutest feeling, Him who saw Thy guilt-born fear, And the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stained Cross appear. 3 Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express: Low before Thy footstool kneeling, Deign Thy suppliant's prayer to bless. Let thy grace, my soul's chief treasure, Love's pure flame within me raise: And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth Thy praise. Used With Tune: ADORATION

Jesus Christ, my sure defence

Author: Miss Winkworth; Louisa Henrietta of Brandenburg Meter: 7.8.7 Appears in 60 hymnals Topics: Easter; Lent, Third Sunday; Easter Sunday; Easter Season, Second Sunday; Easter Season, Fourth Sunday; Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure defense And my Saviour, ever liveth; Knowing this, my confidence Rests upon the hope it giveth, Though the night of death be fraught Still with many an anxious thought. 2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives! I too, life must waken: He will have me where He is; Shall my courage then be shaken? Shall I fear? Or could the Head Rise and leave its members dead? 3 Nay, too closely am I bound Unto Him by hope for ever; Faith's strong hand the Rock hath found, Grasped it, and will leave it never; Not the ban of death can part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4 What now sickens, mourns, and sighs, Christ with Him in glory bringeth: Earthly is the seed and dies, Heavenly from the grave it springeth. Natural is the death we die, Spiritual our life on high. 5 Saviour, draw away our heart Now from pleasures base and hollow, Let us there with Thee have part, Here on earth Thy foot-steps follow. Fix our hearts beyond the skies, Whither we ourselves would rise. Used With Tune: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT

Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart! 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving spirit Into every troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find Thy promised rest. Take away the love of sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty, to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Graciously return, and never, Never more Thy temples leave! Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy precious love. 4 Finish then Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee! Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Used With Tune: RIPLEY

The King of heaven His table spreads

Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 237 hymnals Topics: Second Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The King of heaven His table spreads, And dainties crown the board. Not all the boasted joys of earth Could such delight afford. 2 Pardon and peace to dying men, And endless life are given; And the rich Blood that Jesus shed To raise the soul to heaven. 3 Ye hungry poor, who long have strayed In sin’s dark mazes, come; Come from the hedges and highways, And Grace shall find you room. 4 Thousands of souls, in glory now, Were fed and feasted here; And thousands more, still on the way, Around the board appear. 5 Yet are His house and heart so large, That thousands more may come; Nor could the wide assembled world O’erfill the spacious room. 6 All things are ready: enter in, Nor weak excuses frame. Come, take your places at the feast, And bless the Founder’s Name. Used With Tune: NUN DANKET ALL' U. BRINGET EHR
