O Bow Thine Ear, Eternal One

Author: John Pierpont Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 90 hymnals First Line: O bow Thine ear, eternal One! Lyrics: 1 O bow Thine ear, eternal One! On Thee our heart adoring calls; To Thee the followers of Thy Son Have raised and now devote these walls. 2 Here let Thy holy days be kept; And be this place―to worship given― Like that bright spot where Jacob slept, The house of God, the gate of Heaven. 3 Here may Thine honor dwell; and here As incense, let Thy children’s prayer, From contrite hearts and lips sincere, Rise on the still and holy air. 4 Here be Thy praise devoutly sung; Here let Thy truth beam forth to save, As when, of old, Thy Spirit hung On wings of light o’er Jordan’s wave. 5 And when the lips, that with Thy name Are vocal now, to dust shall turn, On others may devotion’s flame Be kindled here, and purely burn.

I love, I love Thee, Lord most high

Author: Edward Caswall Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I love, I love Thee, Lord most high, Because Thou first hast lovèd me; I seek no other liberty, But that of being bound to Thee. 2 May memory no thought suggest, But shall to Thy pure glory tend; My understanding find no rest Except in Thee, its only ed. 3 My God, I here protest to Thee, No other will have I than Thine; Whatever Thou hast given me, I here again to Thee resign. 4 All mine is Thine,—say but the word, Whate’er Thou willest shall be done; I know Thy love, all-gracious Lord; I know it seeks my good alone. 5 Apart from Thee all things are naught; Then grant, O my supremest bliss, Grant me, to love thee as I ought;— Thou givest all in giving this.

Father! To Thy Kind Love We Owe

Author: William C. Bryant Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father! to Thy kind love we owe All that is fair and good below; Bestower of the health that lies On tearless cheeks and cheerful eyes! 2 Giver of sunshine and of rain! Ripener of fruits on hill and plain! Fountain of light, that rayed afar, Fills the vast urns of sun and star! 3 Who send’st Thy storms and frosts to bind The plagues that rise to waste mankind; Then breathest, o’er the naked scene, Spring gales, and life, and tender green. 4 Yet deem we not that thus alone, Thy mercy and Thy love are shown; For we have learned, with higher praise, And holier names, to speak Thy ways. 5 In woe’s dark hour, our kindest stay! Sole trust when life shall pass away! Teacher of hopes that light the gloom Of death, and consecrate the tomb! 6 Patient, with headstrong guilt to bear; Slow to avenge, and kind to spare; Listening to prayer, and reconciled Full quickly to Thy erring child!
