O thou who gavest power to love

Author: Mandell Creighton, 1843-1901 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O thou who gavest power to love that we might fix our hearts on thee, preparing us for joys above by that which here on earth we see; 2 thy Spirit trains our souls to know the growing purpose of thy will, and gives to love the power to show that purpose growing larger still: 3 larger, as love to reverent eyes makes manifest another soul, and shows to life a richer prize, a clearer course, a nobler goal. 4 Lord, grant thy servants who implore thy blessing on the hearts they blend, that from that union evermore new joys may blossom to the end. 5 Make what is best in each combine to purge all earthly dross away, to strengthen, purify, refine, to beautify each coming day. 6 So may they hand in hand advance along life’s path from troubles free; brave to meet adverse circumstance because their love points up to thee.

Look from Thy sphere of endless day

Author: William Cullen Bryant Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 174 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Look from Thy sphere of endless day, O God of mercy and of might! In pity look on those who stray, Benighted in this land of light. 2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, In crowded mart, by stream or sea, How many of the sons of men Hear not the message sent from Thee! 3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call The thoughtless young, the hardened old, A scattered, homeless flock, till all Be gathered to Thy peaceful fold. 4 Send them Thy mighty Word to speak Till faith shall dawn, and doubt depart, To awe the bold, to stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart. 5 Then all these wastes,--a dreary scene, That fills with sadness as we gaze,-- Shall grow with living waters green, And lift to heaven the voice of praise. Amen. Topics: The Church Home and Inner Missions Used With Tune: MELCOMBE

O, deem not they are blest alone

Author: William Cullen Bryant Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O, deem not they are blest alone Whose lives a peaceful tenor keep; For God, who pities man, hath shown A blessing for the eyes that weep. 2 The light of smiles shall fill again The lids that overflow with tears, And weary hours of woe and pain Are promises of happier years. 3 There is a day of sunny rest For every dark and troubled night, And grief may bide an evening guest, 4 Nor let the good man's trust depart, Though life its common gifts deny; Though with a sad and broken heart, He sees his hopes most cherished die. 5 For God has marked each sorrowing day, And numbered every secret tear, And heaven's long age of bliss shall pay For all his children suffer here.
