Thou Hidden Love of God
Author: Gerhard Tersteegen; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 270 hymnals Topics: God the Father, Creator God's Love First Line: Thou hidden love of God, whose height Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden love of God, whose height,
whose depth unfathomed, no man knows,
I see from far Thy beauteous light,
inly I sigh for Thy repose;
my heart is pained, nor can it be
at rest till it finds rest in Thee.
2 'Tis mercy all that Thou hast brought
my mind to seek its peace in Thee;
yet while I seek, but find Thee not,
no peace my wand'ring soul shall see.
O when shall all my wand'rings end,
and all my steps to Thee-ward tend?
3 Is there a thing beneath the sun
that strives with Thee my heart to share?
Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,
the Lord of ev'ry motion there;
then shall my heart from earth be free,
when it has found repose in Thee.
4 O hide this self from me, that I
no more, but Christ in me, may live;
My vile affections crucify,
nor let one darling lust survive;
in all things nothing may I see,
nothing desire or seek, but Thee.
5 Each moment draw from earth away
my heart, that lowly waits Thy call;
speak to my inmost soul, and say
"I am thy Love, thy God, thy all!"
To feel Thy pow'r, to hear Thy voice,
to taste Thy love, be all my choice! Scripture: Job 23:8-9 Used With Tune: ST. CHRYSOSTOM

God is love: let earth rejoice;
let creation sing before Him,
and exalt Him with one voice.

He who spread the heav'ns above,
He who breathes through all creation:
He is love, eternal love.
2 God is love; and He enfoldeth
all the world in one embrace;
with unfailing grasp He holdeth,
ev'ry child of ev'ry race.
And when human hearts are breaking
under sorrow's iron rod,
then they find that selfsame aching
deep within the heart of God.

sin afflicts the human soul,
God's eternal loving-kindness
guides and heals and makes us whole.

o'er us final triumph gain;
God is love, so love forever
o'er the universe must reign. Scripture: Psalm 102:25 Used With Tune: BEECHER

visit us with Thy salvation,
enter ev'ry trembling heart.

into ev'ry troubled breast;
let us all in Thee inherit,
let us find that second rest.

let us all Thy life receive;
suddenly return, and never,
nevermore Thy temples leave.

serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
pray and praise Thee without ceasing,
glory in Thy perfect love.

pure and spotless let us be;
let us see Thy great salvation
perfectly restored in Thee;
changed from glory into glory,
till in heav'n we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before Thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise. Scripture: Matthew 9:35-38 Used With Tune: BEECHER
