Lord of all being, throned afar
Author: Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 430 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 1:19 Lyrics: 1 Lord of all being, throned afar,
thy glory flames from sun and star;
centre and soul of every sphere,
yet to each loving heart how near!
2 Sun of our life, thy quickening ray
sheds on our path the glow of day;
Star of our hope, thy softened light
cheers the long watches of the night.
3 Our midnight is thy smile withdrawn,
our noontide is thy gracious dawn,
our rainbow arch thy mercy's sign;
all, save the clouds of sin, are thine.
3 Lord of all life, below, above,
whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,
before thy ever-blazing throne
we ask no lustre of our own.
4 Grant us thy truth to make us free,
and kindling hearts that burn for thee,
till all thy living altars claim
one holy light, one heavenly flame. Topics: God in majesty; Light Used With Tune: OMBERSLEY

Spirit of God, descend upon my heart
Author: George Croly (1780-1860) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 1:16-18 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
wean it from earth; through all its pulses move;
stoop to my weakness, mighty as thou art,
and make me love thee as I ought to love.
2 I ask no dream, no prophet-ecstasies,
no sudden rending of the veil of clay,
no angel-visitant, no opening skies:
but take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Hast thou not bid me love thee, God and King --
all, all thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind?
I see thy cross -- there teach my heart to cling:
oh, let me seek thee, and oh, let me find!
4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh:
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh:
teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame --
the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove,
my heart an altar, and thy love the flame. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Penitence; The Holy Spirit The Coming of the Spirit; Holy Spirit illunination of; Patience; Prayer Used With Tune: SONG 22

Author: Norman Macleod (1812-1872) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 181 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 1:19 Lyrics: 1 Courage, brother! do not stumble,
though your path be dark as night;
there's a star to guide the humble:

trust in God, and do the right.

perish all that fears the light!
Whether losing, whether winning,

some will flatter, some will slight;
heed them not, and look above you:
trust in God, trust in God,
trust in God, and do the right.
3 Simple rule and safest guiding,
inward peace and inward might,
star upon our path abiding,
trust in God and do the right.
Courage, sister! do not stumble,
though your path be dark as night;

trust in God, trust in God,
trust in God, and do the right. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship; Courage; Guidance; Trust Used With Tune: COURAGE BROTHER

Hark! A Thrilling Voice Is Sounding
Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 133 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 1:19 First Line: Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding! Lyrics: 1 Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding!
"Christ is near," we hear it say.
"Cast away the works of darkness,
all you children of the day!"
2 Startled at the solemn warning,
from the darkness we arise;
Christ, our sun, all ill dispelling,
shines upon the morning skies.
3 See, the Lamb so long expected
comes with pardon down from heaven.
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
one and all, to be forgiven;
4 so when next he comes in glory
and the world is wrapped in fear,
he will shield us with his mercy
and with words of love draw near.
5 Honor, glory, might, dominion
to the Father and the Son,
with the everliving Spirit
while eternal ages run. Topics: Church Year Christ the King; Powers of Darkness; Doxologies; Jesus Christ Lamb; Jesus Christ Second Coming Used With Tune: MERTON Text Sources: Latin, ca. 6th c.; tr. Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1861, alt.
