O Spirit of the living God!
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 376 hymnals Topics: The Word and the Church Mission Lyrics: 1 O SPIRIT of the living God!
In all Thy plenitude of grace,
Where’er the foot of man hath trod,
Descend on our apostate race!
2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love,
To preach the reconciling Word;
Give power and unction from above,
Where’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
A sinful world their 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.
6 God from eternity hath willed,
All flesh shall His salvation see;
So be the Father’s love fulfilled,
The Saviour’s sufferings crowned through Thee.
O Spirit of the living God!
From Greenland's icy mountains
Meter: 7.6 Appears in 1,691 hymnals Topics: The Word and the Church Mission Lyrics: 1 FROM Greenland's icy mountains,
From India's coral strand,
Where Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand,--
From many an ancient river,
From many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chain.
2 What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle;
Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile;
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strown;
The heathen in his blindness,
Bows down to wood and stone.
3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high,--
Shall we to men benighted
The lamp of life deny?
Salvation, O salvation!
The joyful sound proclaim,
Till earth's remotest nation
Has learned Messiah's name.
4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story,
And you, ye waters, roll,
Till, like a sea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole;
Till, o'er our ransomed nature
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
In bliss returns to reign.
From Greenland's icy mountains
The Saviour calls; let every ear
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 324 hymnals Topics: The Word and the Church Invitation Lyrics: 1 THE Saviour calls; let every ear
Attend the heavenly sound.
Ye doubting souls, dismiss your fear;
Hope smiles reviving round.
2 For every thirsty, longing heart,
Here streams of bounty flow,
And life, and health, and bliss impart,
To banish mortal woe.
3 Here springs of sacred pleasure rise
To ease your every pain;
Immortal fountain! full supplies!
Nor shall you thirst in vain.
4 Ye sinners, come, ’tis mercy’s voice;
The gracious call obey:
Mercy invites to heavenly joys,
And can you yet delay?
5 Dear Saviour, draw reluctant hearts;
To Thee let sinners fly,
And take the bliss Thy love imparts,
And drink and never die.
The Saviour calls; let every ear
Hark! the Church proclaims her honor
Meter: 8.7 Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: The Word and the Church Protection of Lyrics: 1 HARK! the Church proclaims her honor,
And her strength is only this:
God hath laid his choice upon her,
And the work she doth is His.
2 He His Church has firmly founded,
He will guard what He began;
We by sin and foes surrounded,
Build her bulwarks as we can.
3 Frail and fleeting are our powers,
Short our days, our foresight dim,
And we own the choice not ours,
We were chosen first by Him.
4 Onward, then! for nought despairing,
Calm we follow at His Word,
Thus through joy and sorrow bearing
Faithful witness to our Lord.
5 Though we here must strive in weakness,
Though in tears we often bend,
What His might began in meekness
Shall achieve a glorious end.
Hark! the Church proclaims her honor
O God, from heaven look down and see
Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Word and the Church Power Lyrics: 1 O God, from heaven look down and see
A sight which well may move Thee:
Of godly men how few there be,
Forsaken we who love Thee!
Withheld is Thy pure Word, the light
Of faith itself extinguished quite
In all the sons of Adam.
2 Fictions they teach with cunning art,
And lies of man's invention;
Not grounded on God's Word, their heart
Breeds naught but strange dissension;
One chooses this, another that,
Untold division they create,
Though saint-like in appearance.
3 May God root out all heresy,
And of false teachers rid us,
Who proudly say: Tush, who is he
That shall our speech forbid us!
We have the right and might alone,
And what we say must stand, we own
None as our lord and master."
4 Therefore saith God, "I must arise,
The poor suffer wrong-doing;
To me ascend my people's sighs,
And I have heard their suing:
My saving Word shall take the field,
Shall be the poor man's strength and shield,
Shall conquer all opposers."
5 As silver seven times furnace-tried;
Is pure from all its drosses,
So doth the Word of God abide
The brighter for its crosses;
For trial shows its worth aright,
And manifests its strength, and light,
That through all lands it shineth.
6 O God, preserve it pure and free
From this vile generation,
And let us be preserved by Thee
From their abomination;
The wicked walk on every side,
When 'mid Thy flock the vile abide
In power and are exalted.
O God, from heaven look down and see
Lord, In Thy kingdom there shall be
Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: The Word and the Church Communion of Saints Lyrics: 1 LORD, In Thy kingdom there shall be
No aliens from each other,
But even as he loves himself
Each saint shall love his brother.
2 When in Thy courts below we meet
To mourn our sinful living,
And with united hearts repeat
Confession, creed, thanksgiving:
3 Make us to hear in each sweet word
Thy Holy Spirit calling
To oneness with Thy Church and Thee,
That heavenly bond forestalling.
4 One Baptism and one faith have we,
One Spirit sent to win us,
One Lord, one Father, and one God,
Above, and through, and in us.
5 Never, by schism, or by sin,
May we that union sever,
Till all, to perfect stature grown,
Are one with Thee forever.
Lord, In Thy kingdom there shall be

the domed sky bears the Maker’s mark.
New praises sound from day to day
and echo through the knowing dark.
Without a word their songs roll on;
into all lands their voices run.
And with a champion’s strength and grace
from farthest heaven comes forth the sun.
2 God’s perfect law revives the soul;
its precepts make the simple wise.
Its just commands rejoice the heart;
its truth gives light unto the eyes.
Forever shall this law endure:
unblemished, righteous, true, complete.
No gold we ever found so fine,
no honey in the comb more sweet.
3 God’s servant may I ever be:
this world my joy, that word my guide.
O cleanse me, LORD, from secret sin;
deliver me from selfish pride.
Accept my thoughts and words and deeds;
let them find favor in your sight.
For you alone can make me whole,
O LORD, my refuge and my might. Scripture: Psalm 19 Used With Tune: CREATION
