Thy ceaseless, unexhausted Love

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 116 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy ceaseless, unexhausted Love, Unmerited and free, Delights our evil to remove, And help our misery. 2 Thou waitest to be gracious still; Thou dost with sinners bear; That, saved, we may Thy goodness feel, And all Thy grace declare. 3 Thy goodness and Thy truth, to me, To every soul abound; A vast unfathomable sea, Where all our thoughts are drowned. 4 Its streams the whole creation reach, So plenteous is the store; Enough for all, enough for each, Enough for evermore. 5 Faithful, O Lord, Thy mercies are, A rock that cannot move: A thousand promises declare Thy constancy of love. 6 Throughout the universe it reigns, Unalterably sure; And, while the truth of God remains, His goodness must endure.

A Living Stream, as Crystal Clear

Author: John Mason; John Keble Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. A living stream, as crystal clear, Welling from out the throne, Of God and of the Lamb on high, The Lord to man hath shown. 2. This stream doth water Paradise, It makes the angels sing: One precious drop within the heart Is of all joy the spring: 3. Joy past all speech, of glory full, But stored where none may know, As manna hid in dewy heaven, As pearls in ocean low. 4. Eye hath not seen, nor ear hath heard, Nor to man’s heart hath come What for those loving Thee in truth Thou hast in love’s own home. 5. But by His Spirit He to us The secret doth reveal: Faith sees and hears: but O for wings That we might taste, and feel; 6. Wings like a dove to waft us on High o’er the flood of sin! Lord of the Ark, put forth Thine hand, And take Thy wanderers in. 7. O praise the Father, praise the Son, The Lamb for sinners given, And Holy Ghost, through whom alone Our hearts are raised to Heav’n.

How shall we show our love to Thee

Author: Isaac Williams Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How shall we show our love to Thee, Thou living God most high, But loving this Thy family, For which Thou deignedst to die? 2 If Thou for me such Love didst bear, Shall I not love again? For all are objects of Thy care; Thy Love doth all sustain. 3 If we have love for Thee in heaven, 'Tis seen by love on earth: Love only, love which God hath given, Doth prove our heavenly birth. 4 For all we know of God above, And of His saints below, And all we know of heaven, is Love, And all we need to know. 5 Love is of life the only sign, Love is our vital breath; Love only shows the child divine, Love only conquers death. 6 Whate'er we do, where'er we go, Let love our sonship prove: Our lives the first celestial show, Our thoughts and words be love. 7 O deign to send the love of Thee From highest heaven above; For then our life Thy praise shall be, When all our life is love. 8 With praise to Thee our strains began, With love of Thee shall end; The love of Thee, and love of man, From heaven O deign to send!
