Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise

Author: Walter C. Smith Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 226 hymnals Topics: God Majesty and Power Lyrics: 1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise, in light inaccessible hid from our eyes, most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise. 2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might; thy justice like mountains high soaring above thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love. 3 To all life thou givest, to both great and small; in all life thou livest, the true life of all; we blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree, and wither and perish but naught changeth thee. 4 Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight; all praise we would render, O help us to see 'tis only the splendor of light hideth thee. Worship and Rejoice, 2003

Even though it be a cross Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me, still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! 2 Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down, darkness be over me, my rest a stone; yet in my dreams I'd be nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! 3 There let the way appear, steps unto heaven; all that thou sendest me, in mercy given; angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! 4 Then, with my waking thoughts bright with thy praise, out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; so by my woes to be nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! 5 Or if, on joyful wing cleaving the sky, sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly, still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! United Methodist Hymnal, 1989

Now I Have Found the Ground Wherein

Author: J. A. Rothe, 1688-1758; J. Wesley, 1703-91 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 158 hymnals Topics: Trinity 19 Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the ground wherein Sure my soul’s anchor may remain-- The wounds of Jesus, for my sin Before the world’s foundation slain; Whose mercy shall unshaken stay, When heav'n and earth are fled away. 2 Father, Thine everlasting grace Our scanty thought surpasses far, Thy heart still melts with tenderness, Thy arms of love still open are, Returning sinners to receive, That mercy they may taste and live. 3 O Love, Thou bottomless abyss, My sins are swallowed up in thee! Covered is my unrighteousness, Nor spot of guilt remains on me, While Jesus’ blood, through earth and skies Mercy, free, boundless mercy! cries. 4 With faith I plunge me in this sea, Here is my hope, my joy, my rest; Hither, when hell assails, I flee, I look into my Savior’s breast. Away, sad doubt and anxious fear! Mercy is all that’s written there. 5 Though waves and storms go o’er my head, Though strength, and health, and friends be gone, Though joys be withered all and dead, Though every comfort be withdrawn, On this my steadfast soul relies-- Father, Thy mercy never dies! 6 Fixed on this ground will I remain, Though my heart fail and flesh decay; This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth’s foundations melt away. Mercy’s full pow'r I then shall prove, Loved with an everlasting love. Used With Tune: VATER UNSER

God of the Prophets

Author: D. Wortman, 1835-1922 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 63 hymnals Topics: Trinity 19 First Line: God of the prophets, bless the prophets' sons Lyrics: 1 God of the prophets, bless the prophet's sons; Elijah's mantle o'er Elisha cast. Each age its solemn task may claim but once; Make each one nobler, stronger, than the last. 2 Anoint them prophets, Make their ears attent To Thy divinest speech, their hearts awake To human need, their lips make eloquent To gird the right and ev'ry evil break. 3 Anoint them priests, strong intercessors, they, For pardon and for charity and peace, Ah, if with them the world might, now astray, Find in our Lord from all its woes release. 4 Anoint them kings, aye, kingly kings, O Lord. Anoint them with the Spirit of Thy Son. Theirs not a jeweled crown, a blood-stained sword; Theirs, by sweet love, for Christ a kingdom won. 5 Make them apostles, heralds of Thy cross; Forth may they go to tell all realms Thy grace. Inspired of Thee, may they count all but loss And stand at last with joy before Thy face. Used With Tune: OLD 124TH
