Now May the God of Peace and Love

Author: Thomas Gibbons Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now may the God of peace and love, Who from the impris'ning grave Restored the Shepherd of the sheep, Omnipotent to save. 2 Through the rich merits of that blood, Which He on Calv'ry spilt, To make the eternal cov'nant sure, On which our hopes are built. 3 Perfect our souls in every grace, To accomplish all His will; And all that's pleasing in His sight, Inspire us to fulfil. 4 For the great Mediator's sake We every blessing pray; With glory let His name be crown'd, Through heaven's eternal day. Amen. Topics: Book Four: Occasional Selections, Gospel Songs and Hymns; Services, Occasions Closing Hymns, Doxologies Scripture: Hebrews 13:20-21 Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL

Great God! To Me the Sight Afford

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Great God! to me the sight afford To him of old allowed; And let my faith behold its Lord Descending in a cloud. 2. In that revealing Spirit come down, Thine attributes proclaim, And to my inmost soul make known The glories of Thy name. 3. Jehovah, Christ, I Thee adore, Who gav’st my soul to be! Fountain of being, and of power, And great in majesty. 4. The Lord, the mighty God, Thou art; But let me rather prove That name in-spoken to my heart, That favorite name of Love. 5. Merciful God, Thyself proclaim In this polluted breast; Mercy is Thy distinguished name, Which suits a sinner best. 6. Our misery doth for pity call, Our sin implores Thy grace; And Thou art merciful to all Our lost, apostate race. Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL Text Sources: Short Hymns, 1762, cento

Come, Holy Ghost, Creator, come From Thy bright heav’nly throne; Come, take possession of our souls, And make them all Thine own. 2. Thou who art called the Paraclete, Best gift of God above, The living spring, the living fire, Sweet unction and true love. 3. Thou who art sevenfold in Thy grace, Finger of God’s right hand; His promise, teaching little ones To speak and understand. 4. O guide our minds with Thy blest light, With love our hearts inflame; And with Thy strength, which ne’er decays, Confirm our mortal frame. 5. Far from us drive our deadly foe; True peace unto us bring; And through all perils lead us safe Beneath Thy sacred wing. 6. Through Thee may we the Father know, Through Thee th’eternal Son, And Thee the Spirit of them both, Thrice-blessèd Three in One. 7. All glory to the Father be, With His co-equal Son: The same to Thee, great Paraclete, While endless ages run. Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL Text Sources: Hymns for the Year, 1867
