Far from My Thoughts
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 352 hymnals First Line: Far from my thoughts, vain world, begone Lyrics: 1. Far from my thoughts, vain world, begone,
Let my religious hours alone:
Fain would my eyes my Savior see;
I wait a visit, Lord, from Thee.
2. My heart grows warm with holy fire,
And kindles with a pure desire:
Come, my dear Jesus, from above,
And feed my soul with heav’nly love.
3. The trees of life immortal stand
In fragrant rows at Thy right hand;
And in sweet murmurs, by their side,
Rivers of bliss perpetual glide.
4. Haste, then, but with a smiling face,
And spread the table of Thy grace;
Bring down a taste of fruit divine,
And cheer my heart with sacred wine.
5. Bless’d Jesus, what delicious fare!
How sweet Thy entertainments are!
Never did angels taste above
Redeeming grace, and dying love.
6. Hail, great Immanuel, all divine!
In Thee Thy Father’s glories shine;
Thou brightest, sweetest, fairest One,
That eyes have seen or angels known. Used With Tune: HAMPTON Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-9, Book II, number 15

The Gospel Word
Appears in 340 hymnals First Line: God, in the gospel of his Son Lyrics: 1 God, in the gospel of his Son,
Makes his eternal counsels known:
Where love in all its glory shines,
And truth is drawn in fairest lines.
2 Here sinners, of a humble frame,
May taste his grace, and learn his name;
May read, in characters of blood,
The wisdom, power, and grace of God.
3 The prisoner here may break his chains;
The weary rest from all his pains;
The captive feel his bondage cease;
The mourner find the way of peace.
4 Here faith reveals to mortal eyes
A brighter world beyond the skies;
Here shines the light which guides our way
From earth to realms of endless day.
5 Oh, grant us grace, Almighty Lord,
To read and mark thy holy Word;
Its truth with meekness to receive,
And by its holy precepts live. Used With Tune: CELTERET

Through earth and heaven with rays divine;
Thy smile gives beauty to the flower,
Thine anger to the tempest power.
2 God of our lives! the throbbing heart
Doth at thy beck its action start;
Throbs on, obedient to thy will,
Or ceases at thy fatal chill.
3 God of eternal life! thy love
Doth every stain of sin remove;
The cross, the cross,--—its hallowed light
Shall drive from earth her cheerless night.

Our hearts in grateful anthems rise;
And to thy service shall be given
The rest of life, the whole of heaven. Used With Tune: HAMPTON
