Eternal God, Our Wondering Souls

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, our wondering souls Admire Thy matchless grace; That Thou wilt walk, that Thou wilt dwell, With Adam’s worthless race. 2 O lead me to that happy path, Where I my God may meet; Tho’ hosts of foes begird it round, Tho’ briars wound my feet. 3 Cheered with Thy converse I can trace The desert with delight: Thro’ all the gloom one smile of Thine Can dissipate the night. 4 Nor shall I thro’ eternal days A restless pilgrim roam: Thy hand, that now directs my course, Shall soon convey me home. 5 I ask not Enoch’s rapturous flight To realms of heav’nly day: Nor seek Elijah’s fiery steeds, To bear this flesh away. 6 Joyful my spirit will consent To drop its mortal load, And hail the sharpest pangs of death, That break its way to God.

Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 143 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All praise to our redeeming Lord Who joins us by His grace, And bids us, each to each restored, Together seek His face. 2 He bids us build each other up; And, gathered into one, To our high calling's glorious hope We hand in hand go on. 3 The gift which He on one bestows, We all delight to prove; The grace through every vessel flows, In purest streams of love. 4 And if our fellowship below In Jesus be so sweet, What heights of rapture shall we know, When round His throne we meet!

Commissioned By The Great I Am

Author: William Sanders; Hugh Bourne Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Commissioned by the great I AM I leave my friends and home, To spread the triumphs of His name, O’er desert wastes I roam. 2 While the whole counsel of the Lord, I shun not to declare, May sinners fall before the Word, And lift their hearts in prayer. 3 My soul, at times, is much cast down, And pressed with pain and toil, But I’ll not dread the sinner’s frown, Nor will I court their smile. 4 Though grief and sorrow be my lot, I shortly shall be free; And whether I’m reproached or not, May God remember me. 5 I soon shall quit this cumbrous clay, And fly to Jesus’ breast; Angels will bear my soul away, To everlasting rest.
