Only-Begotten Word of God Eternal
Author: M. J. Blacker Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 28:17 Lyrics: 1 Only-begotten, Word of God eternal,
Lord of Creation, merciful and mighty,
hear now thy servants when their joyful voices
rise to thy presence.
2 Here in our sickness healing grace aboundeth;
light in our blindness, in our toil refreshment:
sin is forgiven, hope o'er fear prevaileth,
joy over sorrow.
3 Hallowed this dwelling where the Lord abideth;
this is none other than the gate of heaven;
strangers and pilgrims seeking homes eternal,
pass through its portals.
4 Lord, we beseech thee, as we throng thy temple,
by thy past blessings, by thy present bounty,
smile on thy children, and with tender mercy
hear our petitions.
5 God in three persons, Father everlasting,
Son co-eternal, ever-blessèd Spirit,
thine be the glory, praise, and adoration,
now and for ever.

Creating God, Your Fingers Trace
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn (1934-) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 28:10-22 Lyrics: 1 Creating God, your fingers trace
the bold designs of farthest space;
let sun and moon and stars and light
and what lies hidden praise your might.

earth's mysteries known or yet untold;

enabling life, proclaim your care.

all now despised for creed or race;
let peace, descending like a dove,
make known on earth your healing love.

one family with a billion names;

until we praise you face to face. Topics: Creation; Creation; Healing; Stewardship Used With Tune: KEDRON

Come, Jesus, from the Sapphire Throne
Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 28:17 Lyrics: 1 Come, Jesus, from the sapphire throne,
Where Thy redeemed behold Thy face;
Enter this temple, now Thine own,
And let Thy glory fill the place.
2 We praise Thee that today we see
Its sacred walls before Thee stand;
'Tis Thine for us, 'tis ours for Thee;
Reared by Thy kind, assisting hand.
3 Oft as returns the day of rest,
Let heartfelt worship here ascend;
With Thine own joy fill ev'ry breast,
With Thine own pow'r Thy Word attend.
4 Here in the dark and sorr'wing day
Bid Thou the throbbing heart be still.
Oh, wipe the mourner's tears away
And give new strength to meet Thy will!
5 Here in baptismal water pure
We find for sin a gracious cure;
Our children here to Thee we bring
To be Thine heirs, O heavenly King.
6 When at Thine altar we shall meet
And keep the feast of dying love,
Be our communion ever sweet
With Thee and with Thy Church above.
7 Come, faithful Shepherd, feed Thy sheep;
In Thine own arms the lambs enfold,
Give help to climb the heavenward steep
Till Thy full glory we behold.
Amen. Topics: Special Occasions Dedication Used With Tune: WAREHAM
