The Good Will of God
No Human Eyes Thy Face May See
Author: Thomas W. Higginson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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.
3 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—
4 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.
5 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.
6 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! Used With Tune: EATON Text Sources: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion, by Samuel Longfellow and Samuel Johnson, 1846

One Awful Word Which Jesus Spoke
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 One awful word which Jesus spoke,
Against the tree which bore no fruit;
More piercing than the lightning’s stroke,
Blasted and dried it to the root.
2 But could a tree the Lord offend,
To make Him show His anger thus?
He surely had a farther end,
To be a warning word to us.
3 The fig tree by its leaves was known,
But having not a fig to show;
It brought a heavy sentence down,
Let none hereafter on thee grow.
4 Too many, who the Gospel hear,
Whom Satan blinds and sin deceives;
We to this fig tree may compare,
They yield no fruit, but only leaves.
5 Knowledge, and zeal, and gifts, and talk,
Unless combined with faith and love,
And witnessed by a Gospel walk,
Will not a true profession prove.
6 Without the fruit the Lord expects
Knowledge will make our state the worse;
The barren trees He still rejects,
And soon will blast them with His curse.
7 O Lord, unite our hearts in prayer!
On each of us Thy Spirit send;
That we the fruits of grace may bear,
And find acceptance in the end. Used With Tune: EATON Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)
