New Every Morning

Author: John Keble Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 377 hymnals Topics: Proper 6 Year B First Line: New every morning is the love Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love our wakening and uprising prove; through sleep and darkness safely brought, restored to life, and power, and thought. 2 New mercies, each returning day, hover around us while we pray; new perils past, new sins forgiven, new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven. 3 If on our daily course our mind be set to hallow all we find, new treasures still of countless price God will provide for sacrifice. 4 The trivial round, the common task, will furnish all we ought to ask, room to deny ourselves, a road to bring us daily nearer God. 5 Only, O God, in your dear love, fit us for perfect rest above; and help us, this and every day, to live more nearly as we pray.

Incarnate God, Immortal Love

Author: Alfred Tennyson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 144 hymnals Topics: Year B Proper 6 Lyrics: 1 Incarnate God, immortal Love, whom we, that have not seen your face, by faith, and faith alone, embrace, Believing where we cannot prove; 2 You will not leave us in the dust; you gave us life, we know not why. We trust we were not made to die, for you have made us, you are just. 3 In you meet human and divine, the highest, holiest union known. We falsely call our powers our own until our wills with yours combine. 4 Our little systems have their day; they have their day and cease to be; They are but fleeting certainty, and you, O Christ, are more than they. 5 We have but faith; we cannot know, for knowledge is of things proved true; And yet we trust it comes from you, a sign of promise; let it grow. 6 Let knowledge grow from more to more, but more of reverence in us dwell; That mind and soul, according well, may make one music as before. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:7 Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM

O Worship the King

O sing of God's grace, whose robe is the light; whose canopy space; whose chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and broad is God's path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, your power has founded of old; has stablished it fast by a changeless decree, and round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Your bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in you do we trust, nor find you to fail; your mercies how tender, how firm to the end, our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 933 hymnals Topics: Proper 6 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.

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 389 hymnals Topics: Proper 6 Year A Lyrics: 1 O love divine, how sweet thou art! When shall I find my longing heart all taken up by thee? I thirst, I faint, I die to prove the greatness of redeeming love, the love of Christ to me. 2 Stronger his love than death or hell; its riches are unsearchable: the first-born sons of light desire in vain its depth to see; they cannot reach the mystery, the length and breadth and height. *3 God only knows the love of God; O that it now were shed abroad in this poor stony heart! For love I sigh, for love I pine; this only portion, Lord, be mine, be mine this better part. 4 For ever would I take my seat with Mary at the Master's feet: be this my happy choice; my only care, delight, and bliss, my joy, my heaven on earth, be this, to hear the Bridegroom's voice! 5 Thy only love do I require, nothing on earth beneath desire, nothing in heaven above: let earth and heaven, and all things go, give me thine only love to know, give me thine only love.
