God is love, his mercy brightens

Author: Bowring Hymnal: VoP1873 #63 (1873) Lyrics: 1 GOD is love; his mercy brightens All the path in which we move; Bliss he wakes, and woe he lightens; God is wisdom, God is love. 2 Chance and change are busy ever; Man decays, and ages moves; But his mercy waneth never; God is wisdom, God is love. 3 Even the hour that darkest seemeth, Will his changeless goodness prove; From the gloom his brightness streameth, God is wisdom, God is love. 4 He with earthly cares entwineth Hope and comfort from above: Everywhere his glory shineth; God is wisdom, God is love.

Oh, who is it like the Mighty One

Author: Moir Hymnal: VoP1873 #64 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Oh, who is like the Mighty One, Whose throne is in the sky? Who compasseth the universe With his all-searching eye; At whose creative word appeared The dry land and the sea: My spirit thirsts for thee, O Lord, My spirit thirsts for thee! 2 Around him suns and systems swim In harmony and light; Before him, harps angelic hymn His praises day and night. Yet to the contrite, night and day, In mercy turneth he: My spirit thirsts for thee, O Lord, My spirit thirsts for thee! 3 Yea! though his works are infinite, His power upholds them all; He clothes the lilies of the field, And marks the sparrow's fall. Who listens to the raven's cry, Will bend his ear to me: My spirit thirsts for thee, O Lord, My spirit thirsts for thee!

Scott Hymnal: VoP1873 #65 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Great God! thy penetrating eye Pervades my inmost powers; With awe profound my wondering soul Falls prostrate and adores. 2 To be encompassed round with God, The Holy and the Just, Armed with omnipotence to save Or crush me to the dust-- 3 Oh, how tremendous is the thought! Deep may it be impressed; And may thy Spirit firmly grave This truth within my breast. 4 Begirt with thee, my fearless soul The gloomy vale shall tread; And thou wilt bind the immortal crown Of glory on my head.

Almighty God, thy piercing eye

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #66 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, thy piercing eye Strikes through the shades of night, And our most secret actions lie All open to thy sight. 2 There's not a sin that we commit, Nor wicked word we say, But in thy dreadful book 't is writ Against the judgment-day. 3 Lord, at thy foot ashamed I lie, Upward I dare not look: Pardon my sins before I die, And blot them from thy book. 4 Remember all the dying pains, Thou, my Redeemer, felt, And let thy blood wash out my stains, And answer for my guilt. 5 Oh, may I now forever fear To indulge a sinful thought, Since the great God can see and hear, And writes down every fault.

Father of all, omniscient Mind

Author: Blacklock Hymnal: VoP1873 #67 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Father of all, omniscient Mind, Thy wisdom who can comprehend? Its highest point what eye can find, Or to its lowest depths descend? 2 If up to heaven's ethereal height, Thy prospect to elude, I rise, In splendor there, supremely bright, Thy presence shall my sight surprise. 3 Thee, mighty God, my wondering soul, Thee, all her conscious powers adore, Whose being circumscribes the whole, Whose eyes the universe explore. 4 Thine essence fills this breathing frame; It glows in every vital part, Lights up our souls with livelier flame, And feeds with life each beating heart. 5 To thee, from whom our being came, Whose smile is all the heaven we know, Inspired with this exalted theme, To thee our grateful strains shall flow.

Lord, all I am is known to thee

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #68 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 LORD, all I am is known to thee; In vain my soul would try To shun thy presence, or to flee The notice of thine eye. 2 Thy all-surrounding sight surveys My rising and my rest, My public walks, my private ways, The secrets of my breast. 3 My thoughts lie open to thee, Lord, Before they're formed within, And ere my lips pronounce the word, Thou knowest the sense I mean. 4 Oh, wondrous knowledge! deep and high; Where can a creature hide? Within thy circling arms I lie, Beset on every side. 5 So let thy grace surround me still, And like a bulwark prove, To guard my soul from every ill, Secured by sovereign love.

Now let the feeble all be strong

Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #70 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now let the feeble all be strong, And make Jehovah's arm their song; His shield is spread o'er every saint; And, thus supported, who shall faint? 2 What though the hosts of hell engage, With mingled cruelty and rage! A faithful God restrains their hands, And chains them down in iron bands. 3 Bound by his word, he will display A strength proportioned to our day. And when united trials meet, Will show a path of safe retreat. 4 Thus far we prove that promise good, Which Jesus ratified with blood: Still is he gracious, wise, and just; And still in him let Israel trust.

The promises I sing

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: VoP1873 #71 (1873) Lyrics: 1 The promises I sing, Which love supreme once spoke; Nor will the eternal King His words of grace revoke. They stand secure And steadfast still: Not Sion's hill Abides so sure. 2 The mountains melt away, When once the Judge appears; And sun and moon decay, That measure mortal years: But still the same In radiant lines His promises shines Through all the flame. 3 Their harmony shall sound Through my attentive ears, When thunders cleave the ground And dissipate the spheres. 'Midst all the shock Of that dread scene I'll stand serene, Thy word my rock. Topics: Attributes of God Faithfulness; God Faithful Scripture: Deuteronomy 7:9

My never-ceasing song shall show

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #72 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My never-ceasing song shall show The mercies of the Lord, And make successive ages know How faithful is his word. 2 The sacred truth his lips pronounce Shall firm as heaven endure; And if he speaks a promise once, The eternal grace is sure. 3 How long the race of David held The promised Jewish throne! But there's a nobler covenant sealed To David's greater Son. 4 His seed forever shall possess A throne above the skies; The meanest subject of his grace Shall to that glory rise. 5 Lord God of hosts, thy wondrous ways Are sung by saints above; And saints on earth their honors raise To thy unchanging love.
