O very God of very God
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 51 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O very God of very God,
and very Light of Light,
whose feet this earth's dark valley trod
that so it might be bright:
2 Our hopes are weak, our fears are strong,
thick darkness blinds our eyes;
cold is the night; thy people long
that thou, their Sun, wouldst rise.
3 And even now, though dull and gray,
the east is brightening fast,
and kindling to the perfect day
that never shall be past.
4 O guide us till our path is done,
and we have reached the shore
where thou, our everlasting Sun,
art shining evermore!
5 We wait in faith, and turn our face
to where the daylight springs,
till thou shalt come our gloom to chase,
with healing in thy wings. Topics: The Christian Life Used With Tune: BANGOR

God, You have given us power to sound
Author: George Wallace Briggs, 1875-1959 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God, You have given us power to sound
depths hitherto unknown;
to probe earth's hidden mysteries,
and make their might our own;
2 Great are Your gifts; yet greater far
this gift, O God, bestow,
that as to knowledge we attain
we may in wisdom grow.
3 Let wisdom's godly fear dispel
all fears that hate impart;
give understanding to the mind
and with new mind new heart.
4 So for Your glory and our good
may we Your gifts employ,
lest, maddened by the lust of power,
we shall ourselves destroy. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Adapt.: Compilers
God, You have given us power to sound
Long Has Divine Compassion Strove
Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Long has divine compassion strove
With this rebellious land;
O justice, long has pleading love
Withheld thy dreadful hand.
2 At lengths, ye people, lift your eyes,
Your crimes no more pursue;
Behold the gathering tempest rise,
And tremble at the view!
3 See, fraught with vengeance, how it spreads!
To mercy instant fly;
E’er yet it burst upon your heads,
Repent, repent—or die.
4 Late raging storm, ’twas mercy stayed,
Her voice destruction heard,
Th’impetuous winds her voice obeyed,
And awful justice spared.
5 Shall every warning be in vain
Your ruin to prevent?
Indulgent mercy calls again,
Return, repent! repent!
6 The voice, ye people, hear with awe,
O hear, and turn to God;
Lest mercy, long abused, withdraw,
And leave you to the rod.
7 Almighty God, Thy powerful grace
Can change us, and forgive;
Can save a guilty rebel race,
And say, Repent, and live.
8 O let Thy powerful grace appear,
And justice sheath her sword;
Then shall a rescued nation fear
And love and praise the Lord. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760, alt.

Deepen the wound Thy hands have made
Hark! from the Tombs a Doleful Sound
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 344 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hark! from the tombs a doleful sound;
My ears, attend the cry;
“Ye living men, come view the ground
Where you must shortly lie.
2. Princes, this clay must be your bed,
In spite of all your towers;
The tall, the wise, the reverend head
Must lie as low as ours!
3. Great God! is this our certain doom?
And are we still secure?
Still walking downward to our tomb,
And yet prepare no more?
4. Grant us the powers of quickening grace,
To fit our souls to fly,
Then, when we drop this dying flesh,
We’ll rise above the sky. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-9, Book II, number 63
