Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise

Author: Walter C. Smith Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 218 hymnals Topics: God Majesty and Power Lyrics: 1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise, in light inaccessible hid from our eyes, most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise. 2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might; thy justice like mountains high soaring above thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love. 3 To all life thou givest, to both great and small; in all life thou livest, the true life of all; we blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree, and wither and perish but naught changeth thee. 4 Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight; all praise we would render, O help us to see 'tis only the splendor of light hideth thee.

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Author: Robert Robinson; Martin Madan Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,242 hymnals Topics: Worship; liturgical Opening Hymns Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing; tune my heart to sing thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above; praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, mount of God’s unchanging love! 2 Here I raise my Ebenezer; hither by thy help I’m come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; he, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood. 3 O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be! Let that grace now, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here’s my heart; O take and seal it; seal it for thy courts above. Glory to God: the Presbyterian Hymnal (2003) Used With Tune: [Come, Thou fount of every blessing] (55776)

God helps the stranger in distress, the widow and the fatherless, and grants the prisoner glad release. 4 I'll praise you while you lend me breath, and, when my voice is lost in death, praise shall employ my noblest powers; my days of praise are never past while life and thought and being last or immortality endures.

Thou of life the fountain art; freely let me take of thee; spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity. Psalter Hymnal, 1987
