Not Far Beyond The Sea
O love divine, how sweet thou art!
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 379 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1 O love divine, how sweet thou art!
When shall I find my longing heart
all taken up by thee?
I thirst, I faint, I die to prove
the greatness of redeeming love,
the love of Christ to me.
2 Stronger his love than death or hell;
its riches are unsearchable:
the first-born sons of light
desire in vain its depth to see;
they cannot reach the mystery,
the length and breadth and height.
3 God only knows the love of God;
O that it now were shed abroad
in this poor stony heart!
For love I sigh, for love I pine;
this only portion, Lord, be mine,
be mine this better part.
4 For ever would I take my seat
with Mary at the Master's feet:
be this my happy choice;
my only care, delight, and bliss,
my joy, my heaven on earth, be this,
to hear the Bridegroom's voice!
5 Thy only love do I require,
nothing on earth beneath desire,
nothing in heaven above:
let earth and heaven, and all things go,
give me thine only love to know,
give me thine only love. Topics: God in mystery; God Love of; Jesus Names and images for; Longing; Love for God; Proper 11 Year C Scripture: Romans 5:1-8 Used With Tune: CORNWALL

Eterna Dio en ĉiel'
The golden rule she has pursued
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The golden rule she has pursued,
and did to others as she would others should do to her:
justice composed her upright soul,
justice did all her thoughts control, and formed her character.
2 Affliction, poverty, disease,
drew out her soul in soft distress, the wretched to relieve:
in all the works of love employed,
her sympathizing soul enjoyed the blessedness to give.
3 Her Savior in his members seen,
a stranger she received him in, an hungry Jesus fed,
tended her sick, imprisoned Lord,
and flew in all his wants to afford her ministerial aid.
4 A nursing mother to the poor,
for them she husbanded her store, her life, her all, bestowed;
for them she labored day and night,
in doing good her whole delight, in copying after God.
5 Away, my tears and selfish sighs!
The happy saint in paradise requires us not to mourn;
but rather keep her life in view,
and still her shining steps pursue, till all to God return. Topics: Discipleship; Justice; Ministry with the poor; Service Used With Tune: CORNWALL
The golden rule she has pursued
We sing of God, the mighty source
Author: Christopher Smart, 1722-1771 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 34 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 We sing of God, the mighty source
of all things; the stupendous force
on which all strength depends;
from whose right arm, beneath whose eyes,
all period, power, and enterprise
commences, reigns, and ends.
2 Tell them I AM, the Lord God said,
to Moses while on earth in dread
and smitten to the heart,
at once, above, beneath, around,
all nature without voice or sound
replied, O Lord, thou art.
3 Glorious the sun in mid career;
glorious the assembled fires appear;
glorious the comet's train:
glorious the trumpet and alarm;
glorious the almighty stretched-out arm;
glorious the enraptured main:
4 Glorious, most glorious, is the crown
of him that brought salvation down
by meekness, Mary's son;
seers that stupendous truth believed,
and now the matchless deed's achieved,
determined, dared, and done. Topics: Praise to God Used With Tune: CORNWALL

To Us The Joyful News Is Brought
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 To us the joyful news is brought,
Both unexpected and unsought,
Of mercy rich and free;
Jesus awhile forsakes His throne,
And for our lives resigns His own,
Upon the bloody tree.
2 For us He lived, for us He died,
By Him was justice satisfied,
The law no longer frowns;
Now pardon, peace through Him are giv’n,
A door is opened into Heav’n
To scepters and to crowns.
3 Then let the Gospel trumpet blow,
Till distant lands the Savior know,
And own His power divine;
Nations unborn learn to adore,
His sovereign grace and conquering power,
And in one concert join. Used With Tune: CORNWALL Text Sources: Hymns Adapted to Public Worship (London: Burton & Briggs, 1818)
