Infinite Excellence Is Thine

Author: John Fawcett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 129 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Infinite excellence Is Thine Thou lovely Prince of grace! Thy uncreated beauties shine With never-fading rays. 2. Sinners from earth’s remotest end Come bending at Thy feet; To Thee their prayers and vows ascend; In Thee their wishes meet. 3. Thy name as precious ointment shed, Delights the Church around; Sweetly the sacred odor spreads Through all Immanuel’s ground. 4. Millions of happy spirits live On Thy exhaustless store; From Thee they all their bliss receive, And still Thou givest more. 5. Thou are their triumph and their joy, They find their all in Thee; Thy glories will their tongues employ To all eternity. Used With Tune: ANDREWS Text Sources: Hymns Adapted to the Circumstances of Public Worship and Private Devotion (Leeds, England: G. Wright & Son, 1782), number 42

See, Jesus, Thy Disciples See

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1. See, Jesus, Thy disciples see, The promised blessing give! Met in Thy name, we look to Thee, Expecting, to receive. 2. Thee we expect, our faithful Lord, Who in Thy name are joined; We wait, according to Thy Word, Thee in the midst to find. 3. With us Thou art assembled here, But O Thyself reveal! Son of the living God, appear! Let us Thy presence feel. 4. Breathe on us, Lord, in this our day, And these dry bones shall live; Speak peace into our hearts, and say, The Holy Ghost receive! 5. Whom now we seek, O may we meet! Jesus, the Crucified, Show us Thy bleeding hands and feet, Thou who for us hast died. 6. Cause us the record to receive, Speak, and the tokens show; O be not faithless, but believe In Me, who died for you! Used With Tune: ANDREWS Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749
