and give us hearts and tongues of fire
to pray, and praise, and love.

and chase our gloom away,
with lustre shining more and more
towards the perfect day:
Spirit of truth! alone
in life and death our guide;

Lord God, the Spirit blest
The Spirit breathes upon the word
Author: Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 263 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 1:19 Lyrics: 1 The Spirit breathes upon the word,
And brings the truth to sight;
Precepts and promises afford
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.
3 The hand that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat;
Its truths upon the nations rise;--
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 heavenly day.
5 My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of him I love,
Till glory breaks upon my view,
In bright worlds above.
Topics: The Bible; Glory of the Gospel
The Spirit breathes upon the word
I love the volume of thy word
Author: Watts Appears in 175 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 1:19 Lyrics: 1 I love the volume of thy word;
What light and joy those leaves afford
To souls benighted and distressed!
Thy precepts guide my doubtful way,
Thy fear forbids my feet to stray,
Thy promise leads my heart to rest.
2 From the discoveries of thy law,
Thy perfect rules of life I draw:
These are my study and delight;
Not honey so invites the taste,
Nor gold that has the furnace passed,
Appears so pleasing to the sight.
3 Who knows the errors of his thoughts?
My God! forgive my secret faults,
And from presumptuous sins restrain;
Accept my poor attempts of praise,
That I have read thy book of grace,
And book of nature, not in vain.
Topics: The Bible; The Great Light
I love the volume of thy word

Star of the coming day,
Arise, and with thy morning beams
Chase all our griefs away.
2 Come, blessed Lord, bid ev'ry shore
And answ'ring island sing
The praises of thy royal Name,
And own thee as their King.
3 Bid the whole earth, responsive now
To the bright world above,
Break forth in rapturous strains of joy
In mem'ry of thy love.
4 Lord, Lord, thy fair creation groans,
The air, the earth, the sea,
In unison with all our hearts,
And calls aloud for thee.
5 Come, then, with all thy quick'ning pow'r,
With one awak'ning smile,
And bid the serpent's trail no more
Thy beauteous realms defile.
6 Thine was the cross, with all its fruits
Of grace and peace Divine:
Be thine the crown of glory now,
The palms of vict'ry thine.
Amen. Topics: Blessed Hope; Christ, The Lord Jesus; Christ Lord; Christ Second Coming and Judgment of; Gospel Triumph of; Longing for Christ and God Used With Tune: EAGLEY

Author of faith, eternal word
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 95 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 1:16-18 Lyrics: 1 Author of faith, eternal word,
whose Spirit breathes the active flame -
faith, like its Finisher and Lord,
today as yesterday the same:
2 to you our humble hearts aspire,
and ask the gift unspeakable;
increase in us the kindled fire,
in us the work of faith fulfil.
3 By faith we know you strong to save;
your saving presence let us know;
Whate'er we hope, by faith we have,
future and past are present now.
4 To us who in your name believe
eternal life with you is given;
into ourselves we all receive,
pardon, and happiness, and heaven.
5 The things unknown to feeble sense,
unseen by reason's glimmering ray,
with strong, commanding evidence,
their heavenly origin display.
6 Faith lends its realizing light,
the clouds disperse, the shadows fly,
the Invisible appears in sight,
and God is seen by mortal eye. Topics: Assurance; Confession of Faith; Consummation in Christ; Eternal Life; Faith; Revelation; Salvation Used With Tune: WARRINGTON
