Ye holy angels bright

Author: Richard Baxter, 1615-1691; John Hampden Gurney, 1802-1862 Hymnal: EH1982 #625 (1985) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Lyrics: 1 Ye holy angels bright, who wait at God's right hand, or through the realms of light fly at your Lord's command, assist our song, for else the theme too high doth seem for mortal tongue. 2 Ye blessed souls at rest, who ran this earthly race and now, from sin released, behold your Savior's face, God's praises sound, as in his sight with sweet delight ye do abound. 3 Ye saints, who toil below, adore your heavenly King, and onward as ye go some joyful anthem sing; take what he gives and praise him still, through good or ill, who ever lives! 4 My soul, bear thou thy part, triumph in God above: and with a well-tuned heart sing thou the songs of love! Let all thy days till life shall end, whate'er he send, be filled with praise. Topics: The Church Triumphant Languages: English Tune Title: DARWALL'S 148TH

Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace

Author: Bernard Barton, 1784-1849 Hymnal: EH1982 #627 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace our path when wont to stray; stream from the fount of heavenly grace, brook by the traveler's way; 2 bread of our souls, whereon we feed, true manna from on high; our guide and chart, wherein we read of realms beyond the sky; 3 pillar of fire, through watches dark, and radiant cloud by day; when waves would whelm our tossing bark, our anchor and our stay; 4 word of the ever-living God, will of his glorious Son; without thee how could earth be trod, or heaven itself be won? 5 Lord, grant us all aright to learn the wisdom it imparts; and to its heavenly teaching turn, with simple, childlike hearts.

We limit not the truth of God

Author: George Rawson, 1807-1889 Hymnal: EH1982 #629 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 We limit not the truth of God to our poor reach of mind, to notions of our day and place, crude, partial, and confined: no, let a new and better hope within our hearts be stirred: the Lord has yet more light and truth to break forth from his word. 2 Who dares to bind to one's own sense the oracles of heaven, for all the nations, tongues, and climes and all the ages given? That universe, how much unknown! The ocean unexplored! the Lord has 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 living souls to comprehend your love; and make us to go on to know with nobler powers conferred— the Lord has yet more light and truth to break forth from his word.

Deeds and words and death and rising, grace in human form declare. God has spoken: praise God for his open word. 3 Thanks to God whose word was written in the Bible's sacred page, record of the revelation showing God to every age. God has spoken: praise God for his open word. 4 Thanks to God whose word is published in the tongues of every race. See its glory undiminished by the change of time and place. God has spoken: praise God for his open word. 5 Thanks to God whose Word is answered by the Spirit's voice within. Here we drink of joy unmeasured, life redeemed from death and sin. God is speaking: praise God for his open word. Topics: Holy Scripture Languages: English Tune Title: WYLDE GREEN

Author: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Hymnal: EH1982 #631 (1985) Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Book of books, our people's strength, statesman's, teacher's, hero's treasure, bringing freedom, spreading truth, shedding light that none can measure: wisdom comes to those who know thee, all the best we have we owe thee. 2 Thank we those who toiled in thought, many diverse scrolls completing, poets, prophets, scholars, saints, each a word from God repeating; till they came, who told the story of the Word, and showed his glory. 3 Praise we God, who hath inspired those whose wisdom still directs us; praise him for the Word made flesh, for the Sprit which protects us. Light of knowledge, ever burning, shed on us thy deathless learning. Topics: Holy Scripture Languages: English Tune Title: LIEBSTER JESU

O Christ, the Word Incarnate

Author: William Walsham How, 1823-1897 Hymnal: EH1982 #632 (1985) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the Word Incarnate, O Wisdom from on high, O Truth, unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky; we praise thee for the radiance that from the scripture's page, a lantern to our footsteps, shines on from age to age. 2 The Church from our dear Master received the word divine, and still that light is lifted o'er all the earth to shine. It is the chart and compass that o'er life's surging sea, mid mists and rocks and quicksands, still guides, O Christ, to thee. 3 O make thy Church, dear Savior, a lamp of purest gold, to bear before the nations thy true light as of old; O teach thy wandering pilgrims by this their path to trace, till, clouds and darkness ended, they see thee face to face.
