At the Cross
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748; Ralph E. Hudson, 1843-1901 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2,376 hymnals Topics: Light First Line: Alas! And did my Savior bleed? Refrain First Line: At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light Lyrics: 1 Alas! And did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sov'reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a one as I?
Refrain:
At the cross, at the cross
where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away–
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!
2 Was it for crimes that I have done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree! [Refrain]
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut His glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For man the creature's sin. [Refrain]
4 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away–
'Tis all that I can do! [Refrain]
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18 Used With Tune: HUDSON

Christ's Word to Us
O worship the King all-glorious above
Author: Robert Grant, 1779-1838 Meter: 5.5.5.5.6.5.6.5 Appears in 1,178 hymnals Topics: Light Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all-glorious above,
O gratefully sing his power and his love:
our shield and defender, the ancient of days,
pavilioned in splendour, and girded with praise.
2 O tell of his might, O sing of his grace,
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space;
his chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form,
and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.
3 The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, your power has founded of old,
established it fast by a changeless decree,
and round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea.
4 Your bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light,
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.
5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in you do we trust, nor find you to fail:
your mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
Our maker, defender, redeemer and friend.
6 O measureless might, ineffable love.
While angels delight to hymn you above,
the humbler creation, though faltering their praise,
With true adoration shall sing all their days.
Scripture: Deuteronomy 31:6-8 Used With Tune: HANOVER

We Limit Not the Truth of God
Author: George Rawson, 1807-1889; Rosemary Fishburn, 1928-2002; F. Augé-Daullé, 1875-1972 Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Light Lyrics: English -
1 We limit not the truth of God
to our poor reach of mind
by notions of our day and sect,
crude, partial, and confined.
No, let a new and better hope
within our hearts be stirred–
the Lord hath yet more light and truth
to break forth from his word.
2 Who dares to bind to their dull sense
the oracles of heav'n
for all the nations, tongues, and climes,
and all the ages given?
That universe, how much unknown!
that ocean unexplored!
The Lord hath yet more light and truth
to break forth from his word.
3 O Father, Son, and Spirit, send
us increase from above;
enlarge, expand all Christian souls
to comprehend thy love;
and make us all go on to know,
with nobler pow'rs conferred,
he Lord hath yet more light and truth
to break forth from his word.

1 No limitemos la verdad
del omnisciente Dios
con nuestra humana comprensión
e ingenio más precoz
Hay esperanza para mi
y toda humanidad;
Jehová palabras tiene aún
de luz y de verdad.
2 ¿Quién es capaz de comprender
la mente celestial?
El universo enigma es,
su obra inmortal.
Su creación la prueba es
de su divinidad.
Jehová palabras tiene aún
de luz y verdad.
3 Oh, Padre, Hijo, Espíritu,
danos inspiración,
que pueda el hombre comprender
tu amor y compasión.
Ayúdanos a entender
tu amor y compasión.
Ayúdanos a entender
tu plan, tu voluntad.
Jehová palabras tiene aún
de luz y de verdad.

1 La vérité de notre Dieu,
pourquoi la limiter
á nos faibles conceptions,
á notre pauvreté?
Sachons mieux èmouvoir nos coerus,
avez plus de clarté:
plus de lumiére, le Seigneur
doit encore révéler.
2 Les vieux prophétes du passé
ne pouvons rejeter;
á nous, l'évangile est donné
pour mieux nous éclairer;
cherchons toujours á découvrir
les mystères sacrés!
Plus de lumière, le Seigneur
doit encore révéler.
3 Ô Père, Fils, et Saint-Esprit,
de ton divin séjour,
fais que, plus nobles, les chrétiens
comprennent ton amour,
pour en rayonner le pouvoir,
l'incessante beauté:
plus de lumière ō cher Seigneur,
dois encore révéler!

How good thy thoughts toward us, how great their sum!
We work with thee, we go where thou wilt lead us,
Until in all the earth thy kingdom come.
