keep free from all deceiving,
the eyes which saw thy love be bright,
thy blessèd hope perceiving.

from your light do not banish,
the bodies by your body fed
with your new life replenish. Used With Tune: ACH GOTT UND HERR

There's a wideness in God's mercy
Author: Frederick William Faber (1814-1863) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 900 hymnals Scripture: James 1:5-8 Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy,
like the wideness of the sea;
there’s a kindness in his justice,
which is more than liberty.
2 There is no place where earth's sorrows
are more felt than in God's heaven:
there is no place where earth's failings
have such kindly judgment given.
3 For the love of God is broader
than the measure of the mind:
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 If our love were but more simple,
we should take him at his word;
and our lives be filled with glory
from the glory of the Lord. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in adoration and gratitude; God in glory; God in grace and mercy; God Love of Used With Tune: ALL FOR JESUS

him from whom all good proceeds
let earth and heaven adore.

with harp and psaltery,
timbrels soft and cymbals loud
in this high praise agree;
praise him, every tuneful string;
all the reach of heavenly art,
all the powers of music bring,
the music of the heart.
3 God, in whom they move and live,
let every creature sing,
glory to their Maker give,
and homage to their King.
Hallowed be his name beneath,
as in heaven on earth adored;
praise the Lord in every breath,
let all things praise the Lord.

O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: John E. Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 621 hymnals Scripture: James 1:17 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
be thou forever near me,
my Master and my Friend:
I shall not fear the battle
if thou art by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if thou wilt be my guide.
2 O let me feel thee near me,
the world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear:
my foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw thou nearer,
and shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear thee speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will.
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
thou guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, thou hast promised
to all who follow thee,
that where thou art in glory,
there shall thy servant be;
and,Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
my Master and my Friend.
