O Spirit of the living God

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 382 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God, In all Thy plenitude of grace, Where’er the foot of man hath trod, Descend on our apostate race. 2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love To preach the reconciling Word; Give power and unction from above, Where’er the joyful sound is heard. 3 Be darkness at Thy coming light, Confusion, order in Thy path; Souls without strength inspire with might; Bid mercy triumph over wrath. 4 Baptize the nations; far and nigh The triumphs of the Cross record; The Name of Jesus glorify, Till every kindred call Him Lord. 5 God from eternity hath willed All flesh shall His salvation see: So be the Father’s love fulfilled, The Saviour’s sufferings crowned through Thee. Amen. Topics: The Church Foreign Missions Used With Tune: GERMANY

Nature with Open Volume Stands

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 148 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands to spread her Maker's praise abroad; and every labor of his hands shows something worthy of a God. 2 But in the grace that saved the world his brightest form of glory shines; see on the cross the tale unfold, in precious blood, and crimson lines. 3 Here his whole name appears complete, nor wit can guess, nor reason prove, which of the letters best is writ, the power, the wisdom, or the love. 4 O the sweet wonders of that cross where Christ my Savior loved and died! Her noblest life my spirit draws from his dear wounds and bleeding side. 5 I would forever speak his name in sounds to mortal ears unknown, with angels join to praise the Lamb, and worship at his Father's throne.
