Thou Hidden Love of God
Author: John Wesley (1703-1791); Gerhard Tersteegen (1697-1769) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 265 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 20:3 First Line: Thou hidden love of God, whose height Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden love of God, whose height,
whose depth unfathomed, no one 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 Thy secret voice invites me still
the sweetness of thy yoke to prove;
and fain I would; but, though my will
seem fixed, yet wide my passions rove;
yet hindrances strew all the way;
I aim at thee, yet from thee stray.
3 'Tis mercy all, that thou hast brought
my mind to seek its peace in thee;
yet, while I seek but find thee not,
no peace my wandering soul shall see.
Oh, when shall all my wanderings end,
and all my steps to thee-ward tend?
4 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 hath found repose in thee. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in adoration and gratitude; God Love of; Longing Used With Tune: ST. PETERSBURG

The Catechism's doctrine plain
As Luther taught the Word of Truth
In simple style to tender youth.
2 Help us Thy holy Law to learn,
To mourn our sin, and from it turn
In faith to Thee and to Thy Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One.
3 Hear us, dear Father, when we pray
For needed help from day to day
That as Thy children we may live,
Whom Thou in Baptism didst receive.
4 Lord, when we fall and sin doth stain,
Absolve and lift us up again;
And thro' the Sacrament increase
Our faith till we depart in peace.
Amen.

O God, You Made the Sabbath Day
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 20:11 Lyrics: O God, you made the Sabbath day,
Your gift, your law, your healing way.
You also made, within each heart
A longing for this day apart.
You gave your children, long-oppressed,
Your freeing gift of Sabbath rest.
You give us Sabbath freedom, too:
Our lives are more than work we do!
Life’s sacred rhythm seems long gone;
The world, unblinking, carries on.
Your Spirit calls us! Slow our pace
That we may hear your word of grace.
Christ Jesus lives! He makes us new!
On Sundays now, we worship you.
With hearts uplifted, joy restored,
Your church goes out to serve you, Lord.
