Shall foolish, weak, short-sighted man

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9807 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Shall foolish, weak, short-sighted man Beyond archangels go, The great Almighty God explain, Or to perfection know? His attributes divinely soar Above the creature’s sight, And prostrate seraphim adore The glorious Infinite. 2 Jehovah’s everlasting days, They cannot numbered be; Incomprehensible the space Of Thine immensity; Thy wisdom’s depths by reason’s line In vain we strive to sound, Or stretch our laboring thought to assign Omnipotence a bound. 3 The brightness of Thy glories leave Description far below; Nor man, nor angel’s heart conceives How deep Thy mercies flow; Thy love is most unsearchable, And dazzles all above; They gaze, but cannot count or tell The treasures of Thy love!

The shadows of the evening hours

Author: Miss Adelaide A. Procter, 1825-1864 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #207 (1917) Lyrics: 1 The shadows of the evening hours Fall from the darkening sky; Upon the fragrance of the flowers The dews of evening lie: Before Thy throne, O Lord of heaven, We kneel at close of day; Look on Thy children from on high, And hear us while we pray. 2 The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord, O do not Thou despise, But let the incense of our prayers Before Thy mercy rise: The brightness of the coming night Upon the darkness rolls; With hopes of future glory chase The shadows on our souls. 3 Slowly the rays of daylight fade: So fade within our heart The hopes in earthly love and joy, That one by one depart: Slowly the bright stars, one by one, Within the heavens shine; Give us, O Lord, fresh hopes in heaven, And trust in things divine. 4 Let peace, O Lord, Thy peace, O God. Upon our souls descend; From midnight fears and perils Thou Our trembling hearts defend; Give us a respite from our toil, Calm and subdue our woes; Through the long day we labour, Lord, O give us now repose.

My heart is resting, O my God

Author: Miss A. L. Waring, 1823-1910 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #487b (1917) Lyrics: 1 My heart is resting, O my God, I will give thanks and sing; My heart is at the secret source Of every precious thing. Now the frail vessel Thou hast made No hand but Thine shall fill; For the waters of the earth have failed, And I am thirsty still. 2 I thirst for springs of heavenly life, And here all day they rise; I seek the treasure of Thy love, And close at hand it lies. And a "new song" is in my mouth, To long-loved music set: Glory to Thee for all the grace I have not tasted yet. 3 Glory to Thee for strength withheld, For want and weakness known; And the fear that sends me to Thyself For what is most my own. I have a heritage of joy That yet I must not see; But the hand that bled to make it mine Is keeping it for me. 4 My heart is resting, O my God, My heart is in thy care; I hear the voice of joy and health Resounding everywhere. "Thou art my portion," saith my soul, Ten thousand voices say, And the music of their glad Amen Will never die away.
