God, in the Gospel of His Son
Author: Benjamin Beddome; Thomas Cotterill Hymnal: TH1990 #141 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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, pow'r, and grace of God.
3 The pris'ner 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 O grant us grace, almighty Lord,
to read and mark your holy Word;
its truths with meekness to receive,
and by its holy precepts live.

Lord, Thy Word Abideth
Author: Henry Williams Baker Hymnal: TH1990 #142 (1990) Meter: 6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, thy Word abideth and our footsteps guideth;
who its truth believeth light and joy receiveth.
When our foes are near us, then thy Word doth cheer us;
word of consolation, message of salvation.
2 When the storms are o'er us, and dark clouds before us,
then its light directeth, and our way protecteth.
Who can tell the pleasure, who recount the treasure,
by thy Word imparted to the simple-hearted?
3 Word of mercy, giving succor to the living;
Word of life, supplying comfort to the dying!
O that we, discerning its most holy learning,
Lord, may love and fear thee, evermore be near thee.

How Precious Is the Book Divine
Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: TH1990 #143 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How precious is the book divine,
by inspiration given;
bright as a lamp its doctrines shine,
to guide our souls to heav'n.
2 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts,
in this dark vale of tears;
life, light, and joy it still imparts
and quells our rising fears.
3 This lamp, through all the tedious night
of life, shall guide our way,
till we behold the clearer light
of an eternal day.

Father of Mercies, in Your Word

what endless glory shines;
forever be your name adored
for these celestial lines.

exhaustless riches find;
riches above what earth can grant
and lasting as the mind.

spreads heav'nly peace around;
and life and everlasting joys
attend the blissful sound.
4 O may these heav'nly pages be
my ever-dear delight;
and still new beauties may I see,
and still increasing light.

O be forever near;
teach me to love your sacred Word,
and view my Savior there.

The Spirit Breathes upon the Word
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: TH1990 #145 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 with repeat Lyrics: 1 The Spirit breathes upon the Word,
And brings the truth to sight;
Precepts and promises afford
A sanctifying light,
A sanctifying light.
2 A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic, like the sun:
It gives a light to every age;
It gives, but borrows none,
It gives, but borrows none.
3 The Hand that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat:
His truths upon the nations rise;
They rise, but never set,
They rise, but never set.
4 Let everlasting thanks be thine
For such a bright display
As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heav'nly day,
With beams of heav'nly day.
5 My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of him I love.
Till glory break upon my view
In brighter worlds above,
In brighter worlds above.

Break Thou the Bread of Life
Author: Mary Artemesia Lathbury Hymnal: TH1990 #146 (1990) Meter: 6.4.6.4 D Lyrics: 1 Break thou the bread of life, dear Lord, to me,
as thou didst break the loaves beside the sea;
throughout the sacred page I seek thee, Lord,
my spirit pants for thee, O living Word.
2 Bless thou the truth, dear Lord, to me, to me,
as thou didst bless the bread by Galilee;
then shall all bondage cease, all fetters fall;
and I shall find my peace, my All in all.
3 Thou art the Bread of Life, O Lord, to me,
thy holy Word the truth that saveth me;
give me to eat and live with thee above;
teach me to love thy truth, for thou art love.
4 O send thy Spirit, Lord, now unto me,
that he may touch mine eyes, and make me see:
show me the truth concealed within thy Word,
and in thy Book revealed I see the Lord.

The Law of God is Good and Wise
Author: Matthias Loy Hymnal: TH1990 #150 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The law of God is good and wise
and sets his will before our eyes,
shows us the way of righteousness,
and dooms to death when we transgress.
2 Its light of holiness imparts
the knowledge of our sinful hearts
that we may see our lost estate
and seek deliv'rance ere too late.
3 To those who help in Christ have found
and would in works of love abound
it shows what deeds are his delight
and should be done as good and right.
4 When men the offered help disdain
and wilfully in sin remain,
its terror in their ear resounds
and keeps their wickedness in bounds.
5 The law is good; but since the fall
its holiness condemns us all;
it dooms us for our sin to die
and has no pow'r to justify.
6 To Jesus we for refuge flee,
who from the curse has set us free,
and humbly worship at his throne,
saved by his grace through faith alone.
