Thou God of Power and God of Love

Author: John Walker Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Thou God of power and God of love, Whose glory fills the realms above, Whose praise archangels sing, And veil their faces while they cry, Thrice holy, to their God most high, Thrice holy, to their King. 2. Thee as our God we too would claim, And bless the Savior’s precious name, Through whom this grace is given: He bore the curse to sinners due, He forms their ruined souls anew, And makes them heirs of Heaven. 3. The veil that hides Thy glory rend, And here in saving power descend, And fix Thy blest abode; Here to our hearts Thyself reveal, And let each waiting spirit feel The presence of our God.

Lord, God Of Hosts, Who Dost Fulfill

Author: James Holme Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Lord, God of Hosts, who dost fulfill Lyrics: 1 Lord, God of Hosts, who dost fulfill In Heav’n and earth Thy sovereign will, For Heav’n and earth are Thine, The councils of our nation bless With wisdom, truth, and holiness, With light and love divine. 2 Whate’er they seek, whate’er decree, O may they lift their hearts to Thee, For Thine almighty aid. Free them from sin’s corrupting sway, Teach them to show the heav’nward way Where humbler men may tread. 3 Be it their cherished, fixed design To make Thy grace, Thy glory shine, And ground our laws in Thee. Thy Church from error to defend, Until its light to Heav’n ascend, And spread from sea to sea. 4 When Thou in terror risest forth To sweep the wicked from the earth With dread resistless stroke, Our nation shield with sheltering arm, Her tower of refuge from the storm, Her everlasting rock.

Eternal Mind, Who Rules The Fates

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Eternal mind, who rules the fates Of dying realms and rising states, With one unchanged decree, While we admire Thy vast affairs, Say, can our little trifling cares Afford a smile to Thee? 2 Thou scatter honors, crowns, and gold; We fly to seize, and fight to hold The bubbles and the oar: So emmets struggle for a grain; So boys their petty wars maintain For shells upon the shore. 3 Here a vain man his scepter breaks, The next a broken scepter takes, And warriors win and lose; This rolling world will never stand Plundered and snatched from hand to hand, As power decays or grows. 4 Earth’s but an atom: greedy swords Carve it amongst a thousand lords, And yet they can’t agree; Let greedy swords still fight and slay, I can be poor; but Lord, I pray To sit and smile with Thee.

The God of Holiness and Love

Author: Daniel Borges; Richard W. Adams; Daniel Borges Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. The God of holiness and love, His faithfulness I see above, Though I am prone to sin; But triumphing with His strong hand, I know with me He’ll ever stand, Till I reach Beulah Land. 2. Oh, Jesus’ light and boundless grace! How blest was I to see His face, His life He did not spare; This sinner He in love did seek, Enabling me His Word to speak, I walk as child and heir. 3. Yes, Jesus died upon the cross, To some it seems but pain and loss, But He the Lord obeyed; The Potter setting free His clay, To live above in endless day, With love that cannot fade. 4. In that celestial home I’ll see My brothers, sisters, family, I long for His reward; Then Jesus will my soul embrace, A crown of life my sins replace, As long as I believe! Used With Tune: MERIBAH

O could I speak the matchless worth

Author: Samuel Medley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 775 hymnals Lyrics: O could I speak the matchless worth, O could I sound the glories forth Which in my Savior shine, I'd soar, and touch the heavenly strings, And vie with Gabriel while he sings In notes almost divine. I'd sing the characters he bears, And all the forms of love he wears, Exalted on his throne: In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, I would to everlasting days Make all his glories known. O the delightful day will come When my dear Lord will bring me home, And I shall see his face; Then with my Savior, Brother, Friend, A blest eternity I'll spend, Triumphant in his grace.

Prophetic Era! Blissful Day!

Author: Edward Steane Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Prophetic era! blissful day! We catch thy warm, inspiring ray, Which gleams o’er India’s plains; We hail the dawn of morning light That breaks upon the gloomy night, Where superstition reigns. 2 We hasten thy advance to meet; With vivid joy the sign we greet, That brightens in the sky— The peaceful sign of heavenly love, Which like the holy mystic dove, Declares Messiah nigh. 3 Behold! He comes in triumph now; Before Him see the mountains bow, And all the valleys rise; He comes with majesty and grace, To sanctify the human race, And raise them to the skies. 4 We’ll aid Thy triumphs, mighty King! The glories of Thy cross we’ll sing, And shout salvation round; Till every nation, every land, From Greenland’s shore to Afric’s strand Shall echo back the sound. 5 Let earth commence the lofty praise; Let Heaven prolong th’enraptured lays, Swell every tuneful lyre; Bright seraphs! chant th’immortal song, And pour the bounding notes along, From Heaven’s eternal choir.
