Send, O God, a gentle shower

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #121 (1893) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 SEND, O God, a gentle shower, For my heart is dry as sand; Father, bathe Thy drooping flower, Water Thou Thy thirsty land; Let Thy Holy Spirit's boon O'er me from Thy heavenly throne Like abundant streams be flowing Blessings on my heart bestowing 2 By a human father, even Though he is by sin defiled, Only good gifts will be given Unto a beloved child; How much more dost Thou the same For "Good Father" is Thy name! Thou wilt send to me Thy Spirit, Thy good gifts I shall inherit. 3 Jesus, who for my salvation To the Father didst ascend, Hear my earnest supplication, Unto me Thy Spirit send; Let the Comforter for aye Bide with me, my Strength and Stay, That in faith I may not waver, Steadfast in the truth forever. 4 Holy Ghost, Strength of the simple, O make Thine abode with me, Let me ever be Thy temple; Cheerfully I welcome Thee. Do Thou purify my heart, Cast out all things that might part Me from those sweet joys of heaven Which by Thee to faith are given. 5 With Thy gifts my heart endowing, Make it new and clean and fair; Let it in true love be glowing, Living in Thy grade fore'er; Give me courage bold and good, Sanctify my flesh and blood, Let me, trusting in Christ's merit, Worship God in truth and spirit. 6 Thus myself I will deliver, Lord, to Thee; my soul shall strive Only after heaven forever, Until there I shall arrive Where the Father, and the Son, And Thyself in heaven's high throne, I shall praise and all Thy treasures In angelic, heavenly measures.

The mystery hidden from the eyes

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #129 (1893) Meter: 8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 THE mystery hidden from the eyes Of learned men and sages, God hath revealed us from the skies, In Scriptures holy pages, That He alone is King above All other gods whatever, Great, mighty, faithful, full of love, His people's Shield and Saviour; One Essence, but three Persons. 2 As Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The righteous seed adore Him; So named, so praised, He is the boast Of all who bow before Him; He's Abraham's and Isaac's God, And Jacob's whom He knoweth, The Lord of hosts, who every good, Both night and day, bestoweth; Who only worketh wonders. 3 The Father hath the Son begot, First-born of every creature; The Son took our weak flesh, but not Our sinfulness of nature; Both from the Father and the Son Thy Holy Ghost proceedeth From all eternity; yet none In might and power exceedeth; All equal, co-eternal. 4 Be glad, my heart, thy Portion see, Thy priceless Pearl and Treasure! He is thy Friend, supply will He Thy needs with bounteous measure: He made thee in His image, was For thy offences smitten, With true faith fill thee, through His grace Doth all thy crosses sweeten With His dear word of promise. 5 Rise, then, to Him, the Ever-blest, And learn to know Him rightly; Such knowledge can alone bring rest, And make thy soul burn brightly With the pure flame of holy love, Which cheers thy course to heaven; For God will show thee things above, Which here 'tis only given To hear of, and see darkly. 6 But woe to the ungodly race In willful blindness living, Rejecting God and His dear grace, Their heart to creatures giving. On them, alas! the hellish gates Ere long will close forever; For him whom God rejects and hates God will reject and sever From His eternal kingdom. 7 O Prince of might! Thy mercy show, Thou God of earth and heaven; To every sinner here below Thy saving grace be given! Bring back Thy sheep that go astray, And blinded eyes enlighten, And turn Thou everything away That wickedly might frighten Thine own, whose faith is feeble. 8 Grant this, that we Thy people may All reach the heavenly portals, And in Thy kingdom sing for aye 'Mid all the blest immortals: That Thou, O Lord, art King alone, Above all gods whatever, The Father, Son, and Spirit, One, Thy people's Shield and Saviour, One Essence, but three Persons!

These things the seer Isaiah did befall

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #130 (1893) Lyrics: THESE things the seer Isaiah did befall; In spirit he beheld the Lord of all On a high throne raised up in splendor bright, His garment's border filled the choir with light Beside Him stood two Seraphim, which had Six wings, wherewith they both alike were clad: With twain they hid their shining face, with twain They hid their feet as with a flowing train, And with the other twain they both did fly. One to the other thus aloud did cry: "Holy is God, the Lord of Sabaoth! "Holy is God, the Lord of Sabaoth! Holy is God, the Lord of Sabaoth! His glory filleth all the trembling earth." With the loud cry the posts and thresholds shook, And the whole house was filled with mist and smoke. Topics: Trinity Languages: English
