Thy majesty how bright!
How glorious is thy mercy-seat,
In depths of burning light!

O everlasting Lord!
By prostrate spirits day and night
Incessantly adored.
3 Oh, how I fear the, living God,
With deepest, tenderest fears,
And worship thee with trembling hope,
And penitential tears.
4 Yet I may love thee too, O Lord,
Almighty as thou art,
For thou hast stooped to ask of me
The love of my poor heart.
5 No earthly father loves like thee,
No mother half so mild
Bears and forbears, as thou hast done
With me, thy sinful child.

Thou everlasting Friend!
On thee I stay my trusting heart,
Till faith in vision end. Topics: God: The Father Used With Tune: CORINTH

of rocks and trees, of skies and seas,
his hand the wonders wrought.

O, let me ne'er forget
that though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father's world.
The battle is not done:
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
and earth and heaven be one.

Come, O thou traveler unknown
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 298 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 3:8 Lyrics: 1 Come, O thou traveler unknown,
whom still I hold, but cannot see!
My company before is gone,
and I am left alone with thee.
With thee all night I mean to stay,
and wrestle till the break of day.
With thee all night I mean to stay,
and wrestle till the break of day.
2 I need not tell thee who I am,
my misery or sin declare;
thyself hast called me by my name,
look on thy hands and read it there.
But who, I ask thee, who art thou?
Tell me thy name, and tell me now.
But who, I ask thee, who art thou?
Tell me thy name, and tell me now.
3 Yield to me now for I am weak,
but confident in self-despair!
Speak to my heart, in blessing speak;
be conquered by my instant prayer.
Speak, or thou never hence shalt move,
and tell me if thy name is Love.
Speak, or thou never hence shalt move,
and tell me if thy name is Love.
4 'Tis Love!'tis Love! thou diedst for me,
I hear thy whisper in my heart.
The morning breaks, the shadows flee;
pure, universal love thou art.
To me, to all, thy mercies move;
thy nature and thy name is Love.
To me, to all, thy mercies move;
thy nature and thy name is Love. Topics: God Mercy of; God Love and Grace of; One Life in Christ Love; Prayer / Prayers / Poems; Salvation; Sin / Sinner; Struggle Used With Tune: CANDLER

How helpless fallen nature lies
Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 233 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 3:13 Lyrics: 1 How helpless fallen nature lies,
Unconscious of her load!
The heart unchanged can never rise
To happiness and God.
2 Can aught beneath a power divine
A stubborn will subdue?
'Tis thine, eternal Spirit, thine
To form the heart anew.
3 'Tis thine the passions to recall,
And bid them upward rise;
To make the scales of error fall
From reason's darkened eyes;--
4 To chase the shades of death away,
And bid the sinner live:
A beam of heaven, a vital ray,
'Tis thine alone to give.
5 Renew these wretched hearts of ours;
Oh, give us life divine!
Then shall our passions and our powers,
Almighty Lord, be thine.
