O Spirit of the living God

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 375 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God, in all the fullness of thy grace, wherever human feet hath trod, descend on our rebellious race. 2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love to preach the reconciling word; give power and unction from above whene'er the joyful sound is heard. 3 Be darkness, at thy coming, light; confusion, order in thy path; souls without strength inspire with might; bid mercy triumph over wrath. 4 O Spirit of the Lord, prepare the whole round earth her God to meet; breathe thou abroad like morning air, till hearts of stone begin to beat. 5 Baptize the nations; far and nigh the triumphs of the cross record; the name of Jesus glorify till every kindred call him Lord.

Lord Jesus, when we stand afar

Author: William Washam How Appears in 97 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, when we stand afar, And gaze upon Thy holy Cross, In love of Thee, and scorn of self, O may we count the world as loss! 2 When we behold Thy bleeding wounds, The thorny path that Thou hast trod, Make us to hate the load of sin That lay so heavy on our God. 3 O Holy Lord, uplifted high, With outstretched arms in mortal woe, Embracing in Thy wondrous love The sinful world that lies below;-- 4 Give us an ever-living faith To gaze beyond the things we see: And in the mystery of Thy death Draw us and all men unto Thee. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Used With Tune: LUDBOROUGH
