O thou who gavest power to love

Author: Mandell Creighton, 1843-1901 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O thou who gavest power to love that we might fix our hearts on thee, preparing us for joys above by that which here on earth we see; 2 thy Spirit trains our souls to know the growing purpose of thy will, and gives to love the power to show that purpose growing larger still: 3 larger, as love to reverent eyes makes manifest another soul, and shows to life a richer prize, a clearer course, a nobler goal. 4 Lord, grant thy servants who implore thy blessing on the hearts they blend, that from that union evermore new joys may blossom to the end. 5 Make what is best in each combine to purge all earthly dross away, to strengthen, purify, refine, to beautify each coming day. 6 So may they hand in hand advance along life’s path from troubles free; brave to meet adverse circumstance because their love points up to thee.

New ev'ry morning is the love

Author: J. Keble Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 362 hymnals Lyrics: 1 New ev'ry morning is the love Our wakening and uprising prove; Through sleep and darkness safely brought, Restor'd to life, and pow'r, and tho't 2 New mercies, each returning day, Hover around us while we pray; New perils past, new sins forgiven, New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven. 3 If on our daily course our mind Be set to hallow all we find, New treasures still, of countless price, God will provide for sacrifice. 4 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be, As more of heaven in each we see; Some softening gleam of love and prayer Shall dawn on every cross and care. 5 The trivial round, the common task, Will furnish all we need to ask; Room to deny ourselves, a road To bring us daily nearer God. 6 Only, O Lord, in Thy dear love, Fit us for perfect rest above; And help us, this and every day, To live more nearly as we pray. Amen. Topics: Daily Prayer Morning Used With Tune: MELCOMBE

O, love, how deep, how broad, how high

Author: Benjamin Webb Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O, love, how deep, how broad, how high, How passing thought and fantasy, That God, the Son of God, should take Our mortal form for mortals' sake! 2 For us baptized, for us he bore His holy fast, and hungered sore, For us temptations sharp he knew, For us the tempter overthrew. 3 For us to wicked men betrayed, Scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed; For us he bore the cross's death, For us at length gave up his breath. 4 For us he rose from death again, For us he went on high to reign, For us he sent his Spirit here To guide, to strengthen and to cheer. 5 All honor, laud, and glory be, O Jesus, virgin-born, to thee; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen.

O For That Flame Of Living Fire

Author: William H. Bathurst Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 93 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O for that flame of living fire, Which shone so bright in saints of old! Which bade their souls to Heav’n aspire, Calm in distress, in danger bold. 2 Where is that Spirit, Lord, which dwelt In Abraham’s breast, and sealed him Thine? Which made Paul’s heart with sorrow melt, And glow with energy divine? 3 That Spirit which, from age to age, Proclaimed Thy love, and taught Thy ways? Brightened Isaiah’s vivid page, And breathed into David’s hallowed lays? 4 Is not Thy grace as mighty now As when Elijah felt its power; When glory beamed from Moses’ brow, Or Job endured the trying hour? 5 Remember, Lord, the ancient days; Renew Thy work; thy grace restore; Warm our cold hearts to prayer and praise, And teach us how to love Thee more.
