I see your cross--there teach my heart to cling. O let me seek you and O let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that you are always nigh; teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love you as your angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame: the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, my heart an altar, and your love the flame.

Father, how wide thy glory shines!

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 311 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:6 Lyrics: 1 FATHER, how wide thy glory shines! How high thy wonders rise! Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousand through the skies. 2 Those mighty orbs proclaim thy power; Their motions speak thy skill; And on the wings of every hour We read thy patience still. 3 But when we read thy strange design To save rebellious worms, Where justice and compassion join In their divinest forms-- 4 Here the whole Deity is known; Nor dares a creature guess Which of the glories brightest shone, The justice or the grace. 5 Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heavenly plains; Bright cherubs chant Immanuel's name, And try their choicest strains. 6 Oh may I bear some humble part In that immortal song; Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue.
