Lord of all being; throned afar

Author: Dr. O. W. Holmes Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 428 hymnals 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 now 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the glow of day; Star of our hope, Thy softened light Cheers the long watches of the night. 3 Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn; Our noontide is Thy gracious dawn; Our rainbow arch, Thy mercy's sign; All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine. 4 Lord of all life, below, above, Whose light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. 5 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. Amen. Topics: General; Processional Used With Tune: [Lord of all being; throned afar]

With One Consent, Let All the Earth

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 180 hymnals Lyrics: 1. With one consent, let all the earth To God their cheerful voices raise; Glad homage pay with awful mirth, And sing before Him songs of praise. 2. Convinced that He is God alone, From Whom both we and all proceed; We, whom He chooses for His own, The flock that He vouchsafes to feed. 3. O enter, then, His temple gate, Thence to His courts devoutly press, And still your grateful hymns repeat, And still His name with praises bless. 4. For He’s the Lord, supremely good; His mercy is forever sure; His truth, which always firmly stood, To endless ages shall endure.

What strange perplexities arise

Author: Samuel Davies Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What strange perplexities arise, What anxious fears and jealousies! What crowds in doubtful light appear, How few, alas, approved and clear! 2 And what am I?--my soul, awake, And an impartial survey take. Does no dark sign, no ground of fear, In practice or in heart appear? 3 What image does my spirit bear? Is Jesus formed and living there? Ah, do His lineaments divine In thought, and word, and action shine? 4 Searcher of hearts, O search me still; The secrets of my soul reveal; My fears remove; let me appear To God and my own conscience clear!
