Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: The life of holiness Challenge Lyrics: 1 All things are possible to him That can in Jesus’ name believe; Lord, I no mote thy truth blaspheme, Thy truth I lovingly receive; I can, I do believe in thee; All things are possible to me. 2 The most impossible of all Is that I e’er from sin should cease; Yet shall it be; I know it shall; Jesus, look to thy faithfulness! If nothing is too hard for thee, All things are possible to me. 3 Though earth and Hell the word gainsay, The word of God can never fail; The Lamb shall take my sins away, ‘Tis certain, though impossible; The thing impossible shall be, All things are possible to me. 4 When thou the work of faith hast wrought, I here shall in thine image shine, Nor sin in deed or word or thought; Let men exclaim and fiends repine, They cannot break the firm decree; All things are possible to me. 5 Thy mouth, O Lord, to me hath sworn That I shall serve thee without fear, Shall find the pearl which others spurn, Holy and pure and perfect here; The servant as his Lord shall be; All things are possible to me. 6 All things are possible to God, To Christ, the power of God in man, To me, when I am all renewed, When I in Christ am formed again, And witness, from all sin set free, All things are possible to me.

Have I that ground maintained Wherein I walked in power with thee, And thou my soul sustained? 3 Have I a truthful heart, A conscience keen to feel The baseness of a false excuse, The touch of aught unreal? 4 Have I the zeal I had When thou didst me ordain To preach thy word and seek the lost, Or do I feel it pain? 5 O Lord, if I am wrong, I will not grieve thee more By doubting thy great love and power To make and keep me pure.

Christ, whose glory fills the skies

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Appears in 474 hymnals Topics: The life of holiness Challenge Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true, the only light, Sun of righteousness arise, Triumph o’er the shades of night; Dayspring from on high, be near; Day-star, in my heart appear. 2 O disclose thy lovely face! Quicken all my drooping powers; Gasps my fainting soul for grace As a thirsty land for showers. Haste, my Lord, no more delay; Come, my Saviour, come away. 3 Dark and cheerless is the morn Unaccompanied by thee; Joyless is the day’s return Till thy mercy’s beams I see, Till thou inward light impart, Glad my eyes and warm my heart. 4 Visit, then, this soul of mine, Pierce the gloom of sin and grief; Fill me, Radiancy divine, Scatter all my unbelief; More and more thyself display, Shining to the perfect day.
