How sure the Scriptures are!

Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How sure the Scriptures are! God's vital, urgent word, as true as steel, and far more sharp than any sword: So deep and fine, at his control they pierce where soul and spirit join. 2 They test each human thought, refining like a fire; they measure what we ought to do and to desire: For God know all — exposed it lies before his eyes to whom we call. 3 Let those who hear his voice confronting them today, reject the tempting choice of doubting or delay: For God speaks still — his word is clear, so let us hear and do his will!

Great Father of mankind

Author: Doddridge Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great Father of mankind, We bless that wondrous grace Which could for Gentiles find Within Thy courts a place. How kind the care Our God displays, For us to raise A house of prayer! 2 Though once estrangéd far, We now approach the throne; For Jesus brings us near, And makes our cause His own: Strangers no more, To Thee we come, And find our home, And rest secure. 3 To Thee our souls we join, And love Thy sacred Name; No more our own, but Thine, We triumph in Thy claim. Our Father-King, Thy covenant grace Our souls embrace, Thy titles sing. 4 May all the nations throng To worship in Thy house; And Thou attend the song, And smile upon their vows; Indulgent still, Till earth conspire To join the choir On Zion's hill.
