It passes knowledge, that dear love of thine
Author: Mary Shekleton, 1827-83 Meter: 10.10.10.10.4 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: John 16:12-15 Lyrics: 1 It passes knowledge, that dear love of thine,
my Saviour Jesus; yet this soul of mine
would of thy love, in all its breadth and length,
its height and depth and everlasting strength,
know more and more.
2 It passes telling, that dear love of thine,
my Saviour Jesus; yet these lips of mine
would fain proclaim to sinners far and near
a love which can remove all guilty fear
and love beget.
3 It passes praises, that dear love of thine,
my Saviour Jesus; yet this heart of mine
would sing a love, so full, so rich, so free,
Which brings a rebel sinner, such as me,
nigh unto God.
4 At last, when Jesus face to face I see,
when at his lofty throne I bow the knee,
then of his love, in all its breadth and length,
its height and depth, its everlasting strength,
my soul shall sing. Topics: Consummation in Christ; Fear; God's Love to Us; Grace; Heaven; Jesus Christ Redeemer; Majesty of God; Personal Response to Jesus; Proclamation: Witness; Saints Days and Holy Days St Paul; Sin Used With Tune: IT PASSES KNOWLEDGE

Spirit of truth, essential God
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Scripture: John 16:12-15 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of truth, essential God,
who did your ancient saints inspire,
shed in their hearts your love abroad
and touch their hallowed lips with fire,
to you that through all ages live
our worship without end we give.
2 Still we believe, almighty Lord,
whose presence fills both earth and heaven,
the meaning of the written word
is by your inspiration given;
you only do yourself explain,
the secret mind of God make plain.
3 Come then, divine Interpreter,
the scriptures to our hearts apply;
and, taught by you, we God revere
and in three persons magnify;
in each the triune God adore,
who was, and is for evermore. Topics: Divine Inspiration; Eternity of God; Holy Spirit; Jesus Christ Friend and Companion; Prayer for Illimination; Sanctification; Scripture; Worship The Word Used With Tune: SURREY
