Hymn 105
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 178 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 First Line: Nor eye hath seen, nor ear hath heard Lyrics:
Nor eye hath seen, nor ear hath heard,
Nor sense nor reason known,
What joys the Father hath prepared
For those that love the Son.
But the good Spirit of the Lord
Reveals a heav'n to come;
The beams of glory in his word
Allure and guide us home.
Pure are the joys above the sky,
And all the region peace;
No wanton lips nor envious eye
Can see or taste the bliss.
Those holy gates for ever bar
Po lution, sin, and shame
None shall obtain admittance there
But followers of the Lamb.
He keeps the Father's book of life,
There all their names are found;
The hypocrite in vain shall strive
To tread the heav'nly ground

Wake, Awake, for Night is Flying
Author: Philipp Nicolai; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.8.8 Appears in 218 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9 Lyrics: 1 "Wake, awake, for night is flying,"
the watchmen on the heights are crying;
"awake, Jerusalem, at last!"
Midnight hears the welcome voices,
and at the thrilling cry rejoices:
"Come forth, ye virgins, night is past!
The Bridegroom comes; awake,
your lamps with gladness take; alleluia!
And for his marriage feast prepare,
for you must go to meet him there."
2 Zion hears the watchmen singing,
and all her heart with joy is springing;
she wakes, she rises from her gloom:
for her Lord comes down all-glorious,
the strong in grace, in truth victorious;
her Star is ris'n, her Light is come!
Ah, come, thou blessed Lord,
O Jesus, Son of God, alleluia!
We follow till the halls we see
where thou hast bid us sup with thee.
3 Now let all the heav'ns adore thee,
and men and angels sing before thee,
with harps and cymbal's clearest tone;
of one pearl each shining portal,
where we are with the choir immortal
of angels round thy dazzling throne;
nor eye hath seen, nor ear
hath yet attained to hear what there is ours;
but we rejoice, and sing to thee
our hymn of joy eternally.

Wake, Awake, for Night is Flying
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,018 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:2 Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God;
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
3 See, from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee
Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,034 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of thee
with sweetness fills my breast;
but sweeter far thy face to see,
and in thy presence rest.
2 No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
nor can the mind recall
a sweeter sound than thy blest name,
O Savior of us all!
3 O hope of every contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek,
to those who ask, how kind thou art,
how good to those who seek!
4 But what to those who find? Ah, this
no tongue or pen can show;
the love of Jesus, what it is
none but his loved ones know.
5 Jesus, our only joy be thou,
as thou our prize wilt be;
in thee be all our glory now,
and through eternity.

Come Down, O Love Divine
Author: Richard Frederick Littledale (1833-1890); Bianco da Siena (d. 1434) Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 111 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9-12 Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love Divine,
seek out this soul of mine,
and visit it with your own ardour glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes, in its heat consuming;
and let your glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity
my outward vesture be,
and lowliness becomes my inner clothing;
true lowliness of heart,
which takes the humbler part,
and o'er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling;
we cannot guess its grace,
till he become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Penitence; The Holy Spirit The Coming of the Spirit; Holy Spirit as Comforter; Humility; Longing; Purity Of Heart Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY
