O Jesu Christ, mein schönstes Licht
God of the living, in Whose eyes
Author: John Ellerton Appears in 59 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of the living, in Whose eyes
Unveiled Thy whole creation lies,
All souls are Thine; we must not say
That those are dead who pass away,
From this our world of flesh set free;
We know them living unto Thee.
2 Released from earthly toil and strife,
With Thee is hidden still their life;
Thine are their thoughts, their works, their powers,
All thine, and yet most truly ours;
For well we know, where'er they be,
Our dead are living unto Thee.
3 Not spilt like water on the ground,
Not wrapped in dreamless sleep profound,
Not wandering in unknown despair
Beyond Thy voice, Thine arm, Thy care;
Not left to lie like fallen tree;
Not dead, but living unto Thee.
4 Thy Word is true, Thy will is just;
To Thee we leave them, Lord, in trust,
And bless Thee for the love which gave
Thy Son to fill a human grave,
That none might fear that world to see
Where all are living unto Thee.
5 O Breather into man of breath,
O Holder of the keys of death,
O Giver of the life within,
Save us from death, the death of sin;
That body, soul, and spirit be
For ever living unto Thee!
Amen.

Come, O thou Traveller unknown
Author: Charles Wesley 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 289 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, O thou Traveller unknown,
whom still I hold, but cannot see;
my company before is gone,
and I am left alone with thee;
with thee all night I mean to stay,
and wrestle till the break of day.
2 I need not tell thee who I am,
my misery or sin declare;
thyself hast called me by my name;
look on thy hands, and read it there!
But who, I ask thee, who art thou?
Tell me thy name, and tell me now.
3 In vain thou strugglest to get free;
I never will unloose my hold.
Art thou the man that died for me?
The secret of thy love unfold:
wrestling, I will not let thee go,
till I thy name, thy nature know.
4 Yield to me now, for I am weak,
but confident in self-despair;
speak to my heart, in blessings speak,
be conquered by my instant prayer.
Speak, or thou never hence shalt move,
and tell me if thy name is Love!
5 'Tis Love! 'tis Love! Thou diedst for me!
I hear thy whisper in my heart!
The morning breaks, the shadows flee;
pure universal Love thou art:
to me, to all, thy mercies move;
thy nature and thy name is Love. Topics: Lent II Year C; Proper 6 Year C; Proper 13 Year A Scripture: 1 John 4:8 Used With Tune: DAVID'S HARP

Thou hidden Love of God, Whose height
Author: Gerhard Tersteegen; John Wesley Appears in 265 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden Love of God, Whose height,
Whose depth unfathomed no man knows:
I see from far Thy beauteous light,
Inly I sigh for Thy repose.
My heart is pained, nor can it be
At rest, till it finds rest in Thee.
2 Is there a thing beneath the sun
That strives with Thee my heart to share?
Ah, tear it thence, and reign alone,
The Lord of every motion there;
Then shall my heart from earth be free,
When it has found repose in Thee.
3 Each moment draw from earth away
My heart, that lowly waits Thy call;
Speak to my inmost soul, and say:
I am thy Love, thy God, thy All!
To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice,
To taste Thy Love, be all my choice.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Used With Tune: DAVID'S HARP Text Sources: Revised, 1753
