Immortal, invisible, God only wise

Author: Walter Chalmers Smith, 1824-1908 Hymnal: The Church Hymnary (3rd Ed.) #32 (1973) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Approach to God The Majesty of God Lyrics: 1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible hid from our eyes, Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Almighty, victorious, thy great Name we praise. 2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, Nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might; Thy justice like mountains high soaring above Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love. 3 To all, life thou givest— to both great and small; In all life thou livest, the true life of all; We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree, And wither and perish— but naught changeth thee. 4 Great Father of Glory, pure Father of Light, Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight; All laud we would render; O help us to see 'Tis only the splendour of light hideth thee! Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:17 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. DENIO (JOANNA)

How lovely is thy dwelling-place

Hymnal: The Church Hymnary (3rd Ed.) #4 (1973) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Approach to God The House of God Lyrics: 1 How lovely is thy dwelling-place, O Lord of hosts, to me! The tabernacles of thy grace How pleasant, Lord, they be! 2 My thirsty soul longs vehemently, Yea faints, thy courts to see: My very heart and flesh cry out, O living God, for thee. 3 Behold, the sparrow findeth out An house wherein to rest; The swallow also for herself Hath purchased a nest; 4 Even thine own altars, where she safe Her young ones forth may bring, O thou almighty Lord of hosts, Who art my God and King. 5 Blest are they in thy house that dwell, They ever give thee praise. Blest is the man whose strength thou art, In whose heart are thy ways. 6 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom we adore, Be glory, as it was, and is, And shall be evermore. Amen.

I love the Lord, because my voice

Hymnal: The Church Hymnary (3rd Ed.) #8 (1973) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Approach to God The House of God Lyrics: 1 I love the Lord, because my voice And prayers he did hear. I, while I live, will call on him, Who bowed to me his ear. 2 The cords of death on every side Encompassed me around; The sorrows of the grave he seized, I grief and trouble found. 3 Upon the Name of God the Lord Then did I call, and say, Deliver thou my soul, O Lord, I do thee humbly pray. 4 God merciful and righteous is, Yea, gracious is our Lord. God saves the meek: I was brought low, He did me help afford. 5 O thou my soul, do thou return Unto thy quiet rest; For largely, lo, the Lord to thee His bounty hath expressed. 6 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom we adore, Be glory, as it was, and is, And shall be evermore.
