O Love of God, How Strong and True

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 116 hymnals Topics: Christ As Substitute; God; God Incomprehensibility; God Infinity and Eternity of; God Love and Grace of; God in Nature; Preparatory Service; Union with Christ Lyrics: 1 O love of God, how strong and true, eternal and yet ever new, uncomprehended and unbought, beyond all knowledge and all thought! O love of God, how deep and great, far deeper than man's deepest hate; self-fed, self-kindled like the light, changeless, eternal, infinite. 2 O heav'nly love, how precious still, in days of weariness and ill, in nights of pain and helplessness, to heal, to comfort, and to bless! O wide-embracing, wondrous love! We read you in the sky above, we read you in the earth below, in seas that swell and streams that flow. 3 We read you best in him who came bearing for us the cross of shame; sent by the Father from on high, our life to live, our death to die. We read your pow'r to bless and save, e'en in the darkness of the grave; still more in resurrection light we read the fullness of your might. 4 O love of God, our shield and stay through all the perils of our way! Eternal love, in you we rest, forever safe, forever blest. We will exalt you, God and King, and we will ever praise your name; we will extol you ev'ry day, and evermore your praise proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 145:1-2 Used With Tune: JERUSALEM (Parry)

Be thou my troubled soul at peace

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: The Love of God in Christ Lyrics: 1 Be thou my troubled soul at peace, And let thy sorrows end; Remember Christ, thy Saviour is: Thy brother and thy friend. 2 Should Satan, sin and world upbraid Thy doubts and fears to raise; Let not their threats make thee afraid, Or doubt of pard'ning grace. 3 He knows thy wants and thy complaints, Should he awhile forbear; Remember that the greatest saints Had many doubts and fears. 4 Should God appear from thee to hide, And all thy pray'rs disdain: Yet shall his love to thee abide, And shew his face again. 5 The bruised reed will he not break, The broken heart he heals' He pities such for Jesus' sake, Who for their sorrows feels. 6 He will not quench the smoking flax, But as his promise saith: The troubled mind will he not vex, But help the weak in faith. 7 Were all the pow'rs of darkness join'd, To take thy peace away, In Christ the feeble saint shall find; Such faith as gains the day.
