God in His Love for Us
O perfect Love, all human thought transcending
Author: Dorothy F. Gurney Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 236 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O perfect Love, all human thought transcending,
lowly we kneel in prayer before thy throne,
that theirs may be the love which knows no ending,
whom thou in sacred vow dost join in one.
2 O perfect Life, be thou their full assurance
of tender charity and steadfast faith,
of patient hope and quiet, brave endurance,
with childlike trust that fears no pain or death.
3 Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow;
grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife;
grant them the vision of the glorious morrow
that will reveal eternal love and life.

Hope of the World
Author: Georgia Harkness Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 57 hymnals First Line: Hope of the world, Thou Christ of great compassion Lyrics: 1 Hope of the world, thou Christ of great compassion,
Speak to our fearful hearts by conflict rent.
Save us, Thy people, from consuming passion,
Who by our own false hopes and aims are spent.
2 Hope of the world, God's gift from highest heaven,
Bringing to hungry souls the bread of life,
Still let thy Spirit unto us be given
To heal earth's wounds and end her bitter strife.
3 Hope of the world, afoot on dusty highways,
Showing to wandering souls the path of light,
Walk thou beside us lest the tempting byways
Lure us away from Thee to endless night.
4 Hope of the world, who by Thy cross didst save us
From death and dark despair, from sin and guilt;
We render back the love Thy mercy gave us;
Take Thou our lives and use them as Thou wilt.
5 Hope of the world, O Christ, o'er death victorious,
Who by this sign didst conquer grief and pain,
We would be faithful to Thy Gospel glorious;
Thou art our Lord! Thou dost forever reign!
Amen. Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:1 Used With Tune: ANCIENT OF DAYS

Brightest and Best
Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 911 hymnals First Line: Brightest and best of the stars of the morning Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning,
dawn on our midnight and lend us your aid.
Star of the East the horizon adorning,
guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are shining,
God's holy Child with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore while this baby lies sleeping,
Maker and Monarch and Savior of all.
3 Shall we not offer our costly devotion,
fragrance of Edom and offerings divine,
Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
myrrh from the forest or gold from the mine?
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
vainly with gifts would his favor secure;
Richer by far is the heart's adoration;
dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

Here from All Nations
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 18 hymnals First Line: Here from all nations, all tongues, and all peoples Lyrics: 1 Here from all nations, all tongues, and all peoples,
countless the crowd, but their voices are one.
Vast is the sight and majestic their singing:
"God has the vict'ry: he reigns from the throne!"
2 These have come out of the great tribulation;
now they may stand in the presence of God,
serving their Lord day and night in his temple,
ransomed and cleansed by the Lamb's precious blood.
3 Gone is their thirst, and no more shall they hunger;
God is their shelter, his power at their side.
Sun shall not pain them, no burning will torture;
Jesus the Lamb is their shepherd and guide.
4 He will go with them to clear living water,
flowing from springs which his mercy supplies.
Gone is their grief, and their trials are over.
God wipes away ev'ry tear from their eyes.
5 Blessing and glory and wisdom and power
be to the Savior again and again.
Might and thanksgiving and honor forever
be to our God: Alleluia! Amen! Topics: Resurrection and Glorification Scripture: Revelation 7:9-14 Used With Tune: O QUANTA QUALIA
