Great God, indulge my humble claim

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #389 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience Communion with Christ, and love to him Lyrics: 1 Great God, indulge my humble claim: Be thou my hope, my joy, my rest! The glories, that compose thy name, Stand all engag'd to make me blest. 2 Thou great and good, thou just and wise, Thou art my Father and my God! And I am thine by sacred ties, Thy child and servant, bought with blood 3 With heart and eyes and lifted hands, For thee I long, for thee I look, As travellers in thirsty lands Pant for the cooling water-brook. 4 Ev'n life itself, without thy love, No lasting pleasure can afford: Yea, 'twould but a tiresome burden prove, If I were banish'd from thee, Lord. 5 I'll lift my hands, I'll raise my voice, While I have breath to pray or praise. This work shall make my heart rejoice, Throughout the remnant of my days.

Love divine, how sweet the sound!

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #391 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christian experience Communion with Christ, and love to him Lyrics: 1 Love divine, how sweet the sound! May the theme on earth abound: My the hearts of saints below, With the sacred rapture glow! 2 Love amazing, large and free, Love unknown, to think on me! Let that love upon me shine, Saviour, with its beams divine. 3 Better than earth's gilded toys, Or an age of carnal joys; Better far than Ophir's gold, Love that never can be told. 4 Better than this life of mine, Saviour, is thy love divine: Drop the veil, and let me see Rivers of this love in thee. 5 While in Mesech's tents I stay, Love divine shall tune my lay; When I soar to bliss above Still I'll praise a Saviour's love.

Thou art my shield, my hiding-place, My hope is in thy word. 6 Thou hast inclin'd this heart of mine Thy statutes to fulfil; And thus till mortal life shall end Would I perform thy will.

Each blessing to my soul more dear, Because bestow'd by thee. 4 In ev'ry joy that crowns my days, In ev'ry pain I bear, My heart shall find delight in praise, Or seek relief in pray'r. 5 When gladness wings my favour'd hour, Thy love my thoughts shall fill: Resign'd, when storms of sorrow low'r, My soul shall meet thy will. 6 My lifted eye, without a tear, The low'ring storm shall see; My steadfast heart shall know no fear: That heart will rest on thee!

Our Father, thron'd above the sky

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #394 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience Communion with Christ, and love to him Lyrics: 1 Our Father, thron'd above the sky, To thee our empty hands we spread; Thy children at thy footstool lie, And ask thy blessings on their head. 2 With cheerful hope and filial fear, In that august and precious name, By thee ordain'd, we now draw near, And would the promis'd blessing claim. 3 Does not an earthly parent hear The cravings of his famish'd son? Will he reject the filial pray'r, Or mock him with a cake of stone? 4 Our heav'nly Father, how much more Will thy divine compassions rise; And open thy unbounded store, To satisfy thy children's cries? 5 yes, we will ask, and seek, and press For gracious audience at thy seat; Still hoping, waiting for success, If persevering to entreat. 6 For Jesus in his faithful word The upright supplicant has blest; And all thy saints with one accord The prevalence of pray'r attest.

Freely now to thee I proffer This relenting heart of mine; Freely life and soul I offer, Gift unworthy love like thine. 3 Once the world's Redeemer, dying, Bore our sins upon the tree; On that sacrifice relying, Now I look in hope to thee: Father, take me; all forgiving, Fold me to thy loving breast; In thy love for ever living I must be for ever blest.

Lord, give us light thy truth to see, And make us wise in knowing thee. 2 We have not feared thee as we ought, Nor bowed beneath thine awful eye, Nor guarded deed, and word, and thought, Remembering that God was nigh. Lord, give us faith to know thee near, And grant the grace of holy fear. 3 We have not loved thee as we ought, Nor cared that we are loved by thee; Thy presence we have coldly sought, And feebly longed thy face to see. Lord, give a pure and loving heart To feel and own the love thou art. 4 We have not served thee as we ought; Alas! the duties left undone, The work with little fervor wrought, The battles lost, or scarcely won! Lord, give the zeal, and give the might, For thee to toil, for thee to fight. 5 When shall we know thee as we ought, And fear, and love, and serve aright! When shall we, out of trial brought, Be perfect in the land of light! Lord, may we day by day prepare To see thy face, and serve thee there. Amen.

Now hear me while I pray; Take all my guilt away; O let me from this day Be wholly Thine. 2 May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire; As Thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire. 3 While life’s dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread, Be Thou my Guide; Bid darkness turn to day, Wipe sorrow’s tears away, Nor let me ever stray From Thee aside. 4 When ends life’s transient dream, When death’s cold, sullen stream Shall o’er me roll; Blest Saviour, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove; O bear me safe above, A ransomed soul.
