Beautiful Savior!
Practical Atheism exposed; or, the Being and Attributes of God asserted
Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Creation and Providence; Creation and Providence First Line: While men grow bold in wicked ways Lyrics: 1 While men grow bold in wicked ways,
And yet a God they own,
My heart within me often says,
"Their thoughts believe there's none.
2 Their thoughts and ways at once declare,
(What e'er their lips profess)
God hath no wrath for them to fear,
Nor will they seek his grace.
3 What strange self-flattery blinds their eyes!
But there's a hastening hour,
When they shall see with sore surprise
The terrors of thy power.
4 Thy justice shall maintain its throne,
Though mountains melt away;
Thy judgements are a world unknown,
A deep, unfathom'd sea.
5 Above the heavens' created rounds,
Thy mercies, Lord, extend;
Thy truth out-lives the narrow bounds,
Where time and nature end.
6 Safety to man thy goodness brings,
Nor overlooks the beast;
Beneath the shadow of thy wings
Thy children chuse to rest.
7 [From thee, when creature-streams run low.
And mortal comforts die,
Perpetual springs of life shall flow,
And raise our pleasures high.
8 Though all created light decay,
And death close up our eyes,
Thy presence makes eternal day
Where clouds can never rise. Scripture: Psalm 36:9

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,855 hymnals Topics: New Creation Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling,

fix in us thy humble dwelling,
all thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, thou art all compassion,
pure, unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation,
enter every trembling heart.

let us all thy life receive;
suddenly return, and never,
nevermore thy temples leave.
Thee we would always blessing,
serve thee with thy hosts above,
pray and praise thee without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
3 Finish, then, thy new creation;
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee:
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise.

on God the Lord, who made the sky,

and none who seeks is turned away.

he calms and heals the troubled mind,
and sends the wounded conscience peace.
God helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner glad release.

and, when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my noblest powers;
my days of praise are never past

or immortality endures. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: OLD 113TH

Of the Father's Love Begotten
Author: Aurelius Clemens Prudentius; John Mason Neale; Henry Williams Baker Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 214 hymnals Topics: Creation Lyrics: 1 Of the Father's love begotten
ere the worlds began to be,
he is Alpha and Omega
he the source, the ending he,
of the things that are, that have been,
and that future years shall see
evermore and evermore.
2 O that birth forever blessed,
when a virgin, blest with grace,
by the Holy Ghost conceiving,
bore the Savior of our race;
and the babe, the world's Redeemer,
first revealed his sacred face,
evermore and evermore.
3 This is he whom seers in old time
chanted of with one accord,
whom the voices of the prophets
promised in their faithful word;
now he shines, the long-expected;
let creation praise its Lord
evermore and evermore.
4 Let the heights of heaven adore him;
angel hosts, his praises sing:
powers, dominions, bow before him
and extol our God and King;
let no tongue on earth be silent,
every voice in concert ring
evermore and evermore.
5 Christ, to you, with God the Father
and the Spirit, there shall be
hymn and chant and high thanksgiving
and the shout of jubilee:
honor, glory, and dominion
and eternal victory
evermore and evermore!
Amen.

the mournful broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.

your tongues again employ;
you blind, behold your Saviour comes,
and leap, you lame, for joy!

assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honours of your name. Used With Tune: AZMON
