The Holiness of God

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 217 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 8:13 First Line: Holy and reverend is the name Lyrics: 1 Holy and reverend is the name Of our eternal King; Thrice holy Lord! the angels cry, Thrice holy, let us sing. 2 Heaven's brightest lamps with him compar'd, How mean they look, and dim! The fairest angels have their spots When once compar'd with him. 3 Holy is he in all his works, And truth is his delight, But sinners and their wicked ways Shall perish from his sight. 4 The deepest reverence of the mind, Pay, O my soul to God; Lift with thy hands, a holy heart To his sublime abode. 4 With sacred awe pronounce his name, Whom words nor thoughts can reach; A broken heart shall please him more Than the best forms of speech. 5 Thou holy God! preserve my soul From all pollution free; The pure in heart are thy delight, And they thy face shall see.

The Sands of Time Are Sinking

Author: Anne R. Cousin Appears in 314 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 8:8 Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking, The dawn of heaven breaks; The summer morn I've sighed for, The fair, sweet morn awakes: Dark, dark hath been the midnight, But day-spring is at hand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Emmanuel's land. 2 O Christ, He is the fountain, The deep, sweet well of love! The streams on earth I've tasted, More deep I'll drink above: There to an ocean fulness His mercy doth expand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Emmanuel's land. 3 O, I am my Beloved's, And my Beloved's mine! He brings a poor vile sinner Into His "house of wine." I stand upon His merit, I know no other stand, No e'en where glory dwelleth In Emmanuel's land. 4 The Bride eyes not her garment, But her dear Bridegroom's face; I will not gaze at glory But on my King of grace. Not at the crown He giveth But on His piercèd hand, The Lamb is all the glory Of Emmanuel's land. Amen. Topics: Adoration; Adoration Used With Tune: [The sands of time are sinking]

At the name of Jesus

Noel, 1817-1877 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 253 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 8:6 Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, every tongue confess him King of glory now: 'tis the Father's pleasure we should call him Lord, who from the beginning was the mighty Word. *2 At his voice creation sprang at once to sight, all the angel faces, all the hosts of light, thrones and dominations, stars upon their way, all the heavenly orders, in their great array. 3 Humbled for a season, to receive a name from the lips of sinners unto whom he came, faithfully he bore it spotless to the last, brought it back victorious, when from death he passed: *4 Bore it up triumphant with its human light, through all ranks of creatures, to the central height, to the throne of Godhead, to the Father's breast; filled it with the glory, of that perfect rest. 5 Name him, Christians, name him, with love strong as death, but with awe and wonder and with bated breath: he is God the Saviour, he is Christ the Lord, ever to be worshipped, trusted, and adored. *6 In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue all that is not holy, all that is not true: crown him as your Captain in temptation's hour; let his will enfold you in its light and power. 7 Surely, this Lord Jesus shall return again, with his Father's glory, with his angel train; for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow, and our hearts confess him King of glory now.

Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Meter: 7.7.7.5 Appears in 205 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 8:6 Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost, taught by thee, we covet most of thy gifts at Pentecost, holy, heavenly love. 2 Love is kind, and suffers long, love is meek, and thinks no wrong, love than death itself more strong; therefore give us love. 3 Prophecy will fade away, melting in the light of day; love will ever with us stay; therefore give us love. 4 Faith will vanish into sight; hope be emptied in delight; love in heaven will shine more bright; therefore give us love. 5 Faith and hope and love we see joining hand in hand agree; but the greatest of the three, and the best, is love. 6 From the overshadowing of thy gold and silver wing shed on us, who to thee sing, holy, heavenly love.

Jesus, my all to heaven is gone

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 785 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus my all to heaven is gone, He whom I fix my hopes upon: His track I see, and I'll pursue The narrow way, till him I view. 2 The way the holy prophets went, The road that leads from banishment, The King's high way of holiness-- I'll go, for all his paths are peace. 3 This is the way I long have sought, And mourned because I found it not; My grief a burden long has been, Because I was not saved from sin. 4 The more I strove against its power, I felt its weight and guilt the more; Till late I heard my Saviour say, Come hither, soul, I am the way. 5 Lo! glad I come, and thou blest Lamb Shalt take me to thee, whose I am: Nothing but sin have I to give; Nothing but love shall I receive! 6 Then will I tell to sinners round, What a dear Saviour I have found; I'll point to thy redeeming blood, And say, Behold the way to God!

I thirst, I faint, I die to prove the greatness of redeeming love, the love of Christ to me. 2 Stronger his love than death or hell; its riches are unsearchable: the first-born sons of light desire in vain its depth to see; they cannot reach the mystery, the length and breadth and height. *3 God only knows the love of God; O that it now were shed abroad in this poor stony heart! For love I sigh, for love I pine; this only portion, Lord, be mine, be mine this better part. 4 For ever would I take my seat with Mary at the Master's feet: be this my happy choice; my only care, delight, and bliss, my joy, my heaven on earth, be this, to hear the Bridegroom's voice! 5 Thy only love do I require, nothing on earth beneath desire, nothing in heaven above: let earth and heaven, and all things go, give me thine only love to know, give me thine only love.
