God, Whose Almighty Word
Author: John Marriott, 1780-1825 Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 449 hymnals Topics: Lent 3 (Year A) Lyrics: 1 God, whose almighty word
Chaos and darkness heard
And took their flight:
Hear us, we humbly pray,
And where the Gospel's day
Sheds not its glorious ray,
Let there be light!
2 Lord, who once came to bring,
On your redeeming wing,
Healing and sight,
Health to the sick in mind,
Sight to the inly blind:
Oh, now to all humankind
Let there be light!
3 Spirit of truth and love,
Life-giving, holy dove,
Speed forth your flight;
Move on the water's face,
Bearing the lamp of grace,
And in earth's darkest place
Let there be light!
4 Holy and blessed three,
Glorious Trinity,
Wisdom, love, might!
Boundless as ocean's tide,
Rolling in fullest pride,
Through the earth, far and wide,
Let there be light! Used With Tune: ITALIAN HYMN

Thou our mortal griefs hast borne,
Thou hast shed the human tear;

With the thought of all its sin;
When the spirit shrinks with fear,

Though the sins were not Thine own,
Thou hast deigned their load to bear;
Jesus, Son of Mary, hear!

Thou the blood of life hast shed,
Thou hast filled a mortal bier;
Jesus, Son of Mary, hear!

Eternal life; on these I live;
Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart,
Than all the powers of nature give.

Thou art the true, the living Way:
Let Thy good Spirit be my Guide
To the bright realms of endless day.

To shake my faith with treacherous art,
I scorn as vanity and lies,
And bind Thy Gospel to my heart. Used With Tune: MELCOMBE

And can it be that I should gain

God's riches through the Saviour's blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain?
For me, who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
that thou, my God, should'st die for me?
Amazing love! how can it be
that thou, my God, should'st die for me?

to sound the depths of love divine.

let angel minds inquire no more.

let angel minds inquire no more.

for, O my God, it found out me.
'Tis mercy all, immense and free,
for, O my God, it found out me.

I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
my chains fell off; my heart was free.
I rose, went forth and followed thee.
My chains fell off; my heart was free.
I rose, went forth and followed thee.
5 No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in him, is mine;
alive in him, my living head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach the eternal throne,
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own.
Bold I approach the eternal throne,
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. Scripture: Acts 22:8 Used With Tune: SAGINA
