To Our Redeemer's Glorious Name

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 358 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To our Redeemer's glorious name Awake the sacred song. Oh, may His love, immortal flame, Tune ev'ry heart and tongue! 2 His love, what mortal thought can reach, What mortal tongue portray? Imagination's utmost stretch In wonder dies away. 3 He left His radiant throne on high, Left realms of heav'nly bliss, And came to earth to bleed and die-- Was ever love like this? 4 Dear Lord, while we adoring pay Our humble thanks to Thee, May every heart with rapture say, "The Savior died for me!" 5 Oh, may the sweet, the blissful theme Fill every heart and tongue Till strangers love Thy charming name, And join the sacred song! Amen. Topics: The Redeemer Scripture: Psalm 135:1 Used With Tune: BEDFORD

Spirit of Truth, on This Thy Day

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Spirit of truth, on this Thy day To Thee for help we cry, To guide us through the dreary way Of dark mortality. 2. We ask not, Lord, Thy cloven flame, Or tongues of various tone; But long Thy praises to proclaim With fervor in our own. 3. We mourn not that prophetic skill Is found on earth no more; Enough for us to trace Thy will In Scripture’s sacred lore. 4. We neither have nor seek the power Ill demons to control; But Thou in dark temptation’s hour Shalt chase them from the soul. 5. No heavenly harpings soothe our ear, No mystic dreams we share; Yet hope to feel Thy comfort near, And bless Thee in our prayer. 6. When tongues shall cease, and power decay, And knowledge empty prove, Do Thou Thy trembling servants stay, With faith, with hope, with love.

The life, which God's Incarnate Word

Author: Anonymous; Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The life, which God’s Incarnate Word lived here below with men, three blest evangelists record with heaven-inspirèd pen: 2 John soars on high, beyond the three, to God the Father’s throne; and shows in what deep mystery the Word with God is One. 3 Upon the Saviour’s loving breast invited to recline, ’twas thence he drew, in moments blest, rich stores of truth divine. 4 And thence did that angelic love his inmost spirit fill, which, once enkindled from above, breathes in his pages still. 5 Jesu, the virgin’s Holy Son, we praise thee and adore, who art with God the Father One and Spirit evermore.
