Author: J. Fawcett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 637 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How precious is the Book divine, By inspiration giv'n! Bright as a lamp its precepts shine, To guide our souls to heav'n. 2. It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts, In this dark vale of tears; Life, light, and joy it still imparts, And quells our rising fears. 3. This lamp, thro' all the tedious night Of life, shall guide our way, Till we behold the clearer light Of an eternal day. Topics: The Church; Means of Grace The Scriptures Used With Tune: WARWICK

Beyond the Glittering, Starry Skies

Author: James Fanch Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 100 hymnals First Line: Beyond the glittering starry skies Lyrics: 1. Beyond the glittering starry skies, Far as th’eternal hills, There, in those boundless worlds of light, Our great Redeemer dwells. 2. Legions of angels strong and fair, In countless armies shine, At His right hand with golden harps, To offer songs divine. 3. Hail, Prince! they cry, for ever hail! Whose unexampled love Moved Thee to quit those glorious realms, And royalties above. 4. While He did condescend on earth To suffer rude disdain, They cast their honors at His feet, And waited in His train. 5. Through all His travels here below They did His steps attend! Oft gazed and wondered where at last This scene of love would end. 6. They saw His heart transfixed with wounds, His crimson sweat and gore, They saw Him break the bars of death, Which none e’er brake before. 7. They brought His chariot from above, To bear Him to His throne, Clapped their triumphant wings and cried, The glorious work is done! Used With Tune: WARWICK Text Sources: Gospel Magazine, June 1776

Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,218 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all Thy quickening powers; Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours. 2 Look how we grovel here below, Fond of these trifling toys; Our souls, how heavily they go, To reach eternal joys! 3 Dear Lord, and shall we ever live At this poor, dying rate? Our love so cold, so faint to Thee, And Thine to us so great? 4 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all Thy quickening powers, Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love, And that shall kindle ours. Amen.
