The Most High God

Author: Lange Hymnal: BHPPD866 #71 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Unchangeable, all-perfect Lord! Lyrics: Unchangeable, all-perfect Lord! Essential life’s unbounded sea! What lives and moves, lives by Thy word; It lives and moves and is, from Thee! Whate’er in earth, or sea, or sky, Or shuns, or meets, the wandering thought, Escapes, or strikes, the searching eye, By Thee was to existence brought. High is Thy power above all height, Whate’er Thy will decrees is done; Thy wisdom, holiness and might Can by no finite mind be known. What our dim eyes could never see, Is plain and naked in Thy sight; What thickest darkness veils, to Thee Shines clearly as the morning light; Thine, Lord, is holiness, alone: Justice and Truth before Thee stand: Yet, nearer to Thy sacred throne, Love ever dwells at Thy right hand. And to Thy love and ceaseless care, Father! this light, this breath, we owe; And all we have, and all we are From Thee, great Source of Life! doth flow. Languages: English

The All-Seeing God

Author: M. Gaskell Hymnal: BHPPD866 #72 (1866) First Line: Mighty God! the first, the last! Lyrics: Mighty God! the first, the last! What are ages, in Thy sight, But as yesterday when past, Or a watch within the night? All that being ever knew, Far, far back, ere time had birth, Stands as clear within Thy view As the present things of earth. All that being e’er shall know On, still on, through farthest years, All eternity can show, Bright before Thee now appears. In Thine all-embracing sight, Every change its purpose meets, Every cloud floats into light, Every woe its glory greets. Whatsoe’er our lot may be, Calmly in this thought we’ll rest,— Could we see as Thou dost see, We should choose it as the best. Languages: English

God is Truth and Love

Author: M. Bowring Hymnal: BHPPD866 #73 (1866) Meter: 7.7.7.7 First Line: God is love; His mercy brightens Lyrics: God is love; His mercy brightens All the path in which we move; Bliss He wakes, and woe He lightens; God is wisdom, God is love. Chance and change are busy ever; Man decays, and ages move; But His mercy waneth never; God is wisdom, God is love. E’en the hour that darkest seemeth Will His changeless goodness prove; From the gloom His brightness streameth; God is wisdom, God is love. He with earthly cares entwineth Hope and comfort from above; Everywhere His glory shineth; God is wisdom, God is love. Languages: English

God is Love

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #74 (1866) Meter: Irregular First Line: I cannot always trace the way Lyrics: I cannot always trace the way Where Thou, almighty One, dost move, But I can always, always say That God is love. When fear her chilling mantle throws O’er earth, my soul to heaven above, As to her native home, upsprings, For God is love. When mystery clouds my darkened path, I’ll check my dread, my doubts reprove; In this my soul sweet comfort hath, That God is love. Yes, God is love;—a thought like this Can every gloomy thought remove, And turn all tears, all woes, to bliss, For God is love. Languages: English

Love Supreme in God

Author: Sterling Hymnal: BHPPD866 #75 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O Source divine, and Life of all Lyrics: O Source divine, and Life of all, The Fount of being’s wondrous sea! Thy depth would every heart appall, That saw not Love supreme in Thee. We shrink before Thy vast abyss, Where worlds on worlds eternal brood; We know Thee truly but in this, That Thou bestowest all our good. And so, ’mid boundless time and space, O, grant us still in Thee to dwell, And through the ceaseless web to trace Thy presence working all things well! Nor let Thou life’s delightful play Thy truth’s transcendent vision hide; Nor strength and gladness lead astray From Thee, our nature’s only guide. Bestow on every joyous thrill Thy deeper tone of reverent awe; Make pure Thy children’s erring will, And teach their hearts to love Thy law! Languages: English

God Known Through Love

Hymnal: BHPPD866 #76 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: No human eyes Thy face may see Lyrics: No human eyes Thy face may see; No human thought Thy form may know; But all creation dwells in Thee, And Thy great life through all doth flow! And yet, O strange and wondrous thought! Thou art a God who hearest prayer, And every heart with sorrow fraught To seek Thy present aid may dare. And though most weak our efforts seem Into one creed these thoughts to bind, And vain the intellectual dream, To see and know the Eternal Mind,— Yet Thou wilt turn them not aside, Who cannot solve Thy life divine, But would give up all reason’s pride To know their hearts approved by Thine. And Thine unceasing love gave birth To our dear Lord, Thy holy Son, Who left a perfect proof on earth, That Duty, Love, and Truth are one. So, though we faint on life’s dark hill, And Thought grow weak, and Knowledge flee, Yet Faith shall teach us courage still, And Love shall guide us on to Thee! Languages: English

God’s Fatherly Care

Author: Jones Very Hymnal: BHPPD866 #77 (1866) First Line: Father! there is no change to live with Thee Lyrics: Father! there is no change to live with Thee; Save that in Christ I grow from day to day; In each new word I hear, each thing I see, I but rejoicing hasten on my way. The morning comes, with blushes overspread, And I, new-wakened, find a morn within; And in its modest dawn around me shed, Thou hear’st the prayer and the ascending hymn. Hour follows hour, the lengthening shades descend; Yet they could never reach as far as me. Did not Thy love its kind protection lend, That I, Thy child, might sleep in peace with Thee. Languages: English

Loving-Kindness of God

Author: Bryant Hymnal: BHPPD866 #78 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Father, to Thy kind love we owe Lyrics: Father, to Thy kind love we owe All that is fair and good below; Bestower of the health that lies On tearless cheeks and cheerful eyes! Giver of sunshine and of rain! Ripener of fruits on hill and plain! Fountain of light, that rayed afar, Fills the vast urns of sun and star! Who send’st Thy storms and frosts to bind The plagues that rise to waste mankind; Then breathest, o’er the naked scene, Spring gales, and life, and tender green. Yet deem we not that thus alone, Thy mercy and Thy love are shown; For we have learned, with higher praise, And holier names, to speak Thy ways. In woe’s dark hour, our kindest stay! Sole trust when life shall pass away! Teacher of hopes that light the gloom Of death, and consecrate the tomb! Languages: English

God Not Afar Off

Author: Jones Very Hymnal: BHPPD866 #79 (1866) First Line: Father! Thy wonders do not singly stand Lyrics: Father! Thy wonders do not singly stand, Nor far removed where feet have seldom strayed; Around us ever lies the enchanted land, In marvels rich to Thine own sons displayed. In finding Thee are all things round us found! In losing Thee are all things lost beside! Ears have we, but in vain sweet voices sound, And to our eyes the vision is denied. Open our eyes that we that world may see! Open our ears that we Thy voice may hear! And in the spirit-land may ever be, And feel Thy presence with us always near; No more to wander ’mid the things of time, No more to suffer death or earthly change; But-with the Christian’s joy and faith sublime, Through all Thy vast, eternal scenes to range.

The Earth Full of God

Author: Montgomery Hymnal: BHPPD866 #80 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: God, in the high and holy place Lyrics: God, in the high and holy place, Looks down upon the spheres; Yet in His providence and grace To every eye appears. He bows the heavens; the mountains stand, A highway for our God: He walks amidst the desert-land; ’Tis Eden where He trod. The forests in His strength rejoice; Hark! on the evening breeze, As once of old, the Lord God’s voice Is heard among the trees. In every stream His bounty flows, Diffusing joy and wealth; In every breeze His Spirit blows,— The breath of life and health. His blessings fall in plenteous showers Upon the lap of earth, That teems with foliage, fruits, and flowers, And rings with infant mirth. If God hath made this world so fair, Where sin and death abound, How beautiful beyond compare Will Paradise be found! Languages: English
