Mysterious Presence, source of all

Author: Rev. Seth Curtis Beach Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Mysterious presence, source of all— The world without, the soul within, Fountain of life, O hear our call, And pour Thy living waters in! 2 Thou breathest in the rushing wind; Thy spirit stirs in leaf and flower; Nor wilt Thou from the willing mind Withhold Thy light and love and power. 3 Thy hand unseen to accents clear Awoke the psalmist’s trembling lyre, And touched the lips of holy seer With flame from Thine own altar fire. 4 That touch divine, still, Lord, impart; Still give the prophet’s burning word; And, vocal in each waiting heart, Let living psalms of praise be heard. [Refrain] Amen. Topics: God the Father His Abiding Presence; God Presence, His Abiding; Inner Life, The; Installations Pastor; Musical Services; Ordination Services Used With Tune: ABENDS

Desiring To Love Christ

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals First Line: Come, let me love: or is my mind Lyrics: 1 Come, let me love: or is my mind Hardened to stone, or froze to ice? I see the blessèd Fair One bend And stoop t’embrace me from the skies! 2 O! ’tis a thought would melt a rock, And make a heart of iron move, That those sweet lips, that heav’nly look, Should seek and wish a mortal love! 3 I was a traitor doomed to fire, Bound to sustain eternal pains; He flew on wings of strong desire, Assumed my guilt, and took my chains. 4 Infinite grace! almighty charms! Stand in amaze, ye whirling skies, Jesus the God, with naked arms, Hangs on a cross of love, and dies. 5 Did pity ever stoop so low, Dressed in divinity and blood? Was ever rebel courted so In groans of an expiring God? 6 Again He lives, and spreads His hands, Hands that were nailed to torturing smart; "By these dear wounds," says He; and stands And prays to clasp me to His heart. 7 Sure I must love; or are my ears Still deaf, nor will my passion move? Then let me melt this heart to tears; This heart shall yield to death or love. Used With Tune: ABENDS Text Sources: Horae Lyricae Book I, 1706

The Grief Of Pleasures

Author: Phillip S. Worsley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Through miry paths I labored on Lyrics: 1 Through miry paths I labored on; Dark fell the mist, I could not see; But when my feet were almost gone, A voice said—"Turn, and look on Me." 2 Who com’st Thou, taunted like a thief By hard men, joyous in Thy fall? Who art Thou, yearning pale with grief To some friend in the judgment hall? 2 O glance too kind for broken vow, For crime sinned often and afresh! O thorns, that wring the purest brow Made ever yet from human flesh! 3 O printed hands, O printed feet, O side, dug to the quick with steel! I marvel, but no answering heat Strikes through my breast, to make it feel. 4 Ah Lord! but if Thy grace impart True sorrow for my inward stain, That look will pierce me to the heart, That crown will tear me to the brain. 5 Those marks upon Thy feet and hands, That furrow in Thy sinless side, Will sear me as with iron brands While I with Thee hang crucified. 6 Nay, but the world—too far, too much She lures me with her power to please. How can I bear Thy healing touch To rob me of my sweet disease? 7 For e’en again that path of mire, That dim place, where the mist came down, Seems, for its joy, worth endless fire, Such dreams my soul in poison drown. 8 I bathe me in a false delight, Chew dust for bread: yet, Lord, I pray, Come, for without Thee day is night, Come now, for with Thee night is day. 9 Yea, by Thy love, Thy toil to save, Thy prayer, Thy groans, Thy bloody sweat, Thy death, Thy rising from the grave, Look down from Heav’n, and hear me yet.
