Full Of Wonder, Full Of Art

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15337 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Full of wonder, full of art, Full of wisdom, full of power, Full of kindness, grace, and heart, Full of comfort flowing o’er, Full of wonder, still I say, Is love’s chaste and gentle sway. 2 Those who’ve never met before, Ne’er each other known nor seen, Never in the idlest hour Thus employed their thoughts have been, Yet whose hearts and hands in love Tieth God who lives above! 3 His child doth this Father guide, That one traineth His each day, Each their special wind and tide Speed upon their separate way, When the time appointed’s there, Lo! they’re a well-mated pair! 4 Here grows up a prudent son, And a noble daughter there; One will be the other’s crown, One the other’s rest from care Each will be the other’s light, But from both ’tis hidden quite, 5 Till it’s pleasing in His sight Who the world holds in His power, To all giveth what is right Freely in th’appointed hour; Then appears in word and deed What hath been by Him decreed. 6 Then Ahasuerus’ eye First doth quiet Esther see; To where Sara peacefully Dwells, Tobias leadeth He; David then, with pliant will, Fetcheth prudent Abigail. 7 Jacob flees from Esau’s face, And he meeteth Rachel fair; Joseph in a foreign place Serves, and winneth Asnath there; Moses did with Jethro stay, And bore Zipporah away. 8 Each one taketh, each doth find What the Lord doth choose for him; What in Heaven is designed, Comes to pass on earth in time. And whatever happens thus Ordered wisely is for us. 9 This or that might better be, Oft this foolish thought is ours; But as midnight utterly Fails to be like noonday’s hours, So the feeble mind of man God’s great wisdom cannot scan. 10 Whom God joins together live, What the best is knoweth He, Our thoughts only can deceive, His from all defects are free; God’s work standeth firm for aye, When all other must decay. 11 Look at pious children who Entered have the holy state, How well for them God doth do, See what joys upon them wait; To their doings God doth send Evermore a happy end. 12 Of their virtues the renown Blossometh for evermore, As a shadow when is gone Of all other love the flower; When truth faileth everywhere, Theirs still bloometh fresh and fair, 13 Fresh their love is evermore, Ever doth its youth renew, Love their table covers o’er, Sweetens all they say and do. Love their hearts aye giveth rest, When they’re burdened and oppressed. 14 Though things oft go crookedly, Even then this love is still, Can the cross bear patiently, Thinking ’tis the Father’s will. From this thought doth comfort taste, Better days will come at last. 15 Meanwhile streams of blessing gives God with bounty rich and free, Mind and body He relieves, And the house too foundeth He; What is small and men despise, Makes He great and multiplies. 16 And when all is over here That the Lord designs in love, For His faithful children dear, Taketh them to courts above, And with great delight in grace Folds them in His warm embrace. 17 Now ’tis ever full of heart, Full of comfort flowing o’er, Full of wonder, full of art, Full of wisdom, full of power, Full of wonder, still I say, Is love’s chaste and gentle sway.

Work Is Sweet, for God Has Blest

Author: Godfrey Thring Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7505 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1. Work is sweet, for God has blest Honest work with quiet rest, Rest below and rest above In the mansions of His love, When the work of life is done, When the battle’s fought and won. 2. Work ye, then, while yet ’tis day, Work ye Christians, while ye may, Work for all that’s great and good, Working for your daily food. Working whilst the golden hours, Health, and strength, and youth are yours. 3. Working not alone for gold, Not the work that’s bought and sold, Not the work that worketh strife, But the working of a life Careless both of good or ill, If ye can but do His will. 4. Working ere the day is gone, Working till your work is done, Not as traffickers at marts, But as fitteth honest hearts, Working till your spirits rest With the spirits of the blest.

Every Morning Mercies New

Author: Greville Phillimore, 1821-84 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #580 (1993) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 First Line: Ev'ry morning mercies new Lyrics: 1 Ev'ry morning mercies new Fall as fresh as morning dew; Ev'ry morning let us pay Tribute with the early day. For your mercies, Lord, are sure; Your compassion will endure. 2 Still your kindness and your love Ev'ry day our sins remove; Daily, far as east from west, Lift the burden from the breast; Give unbought to those who pray Strength to live for you each day. 3 Let our prayers each morn prevail That these gifts may never fail. And as we confess our sin And the tempter's pow'r within, Feed us with the bread of life; Fit us for our daily strife. 4 As the morning light returns, As the sun with splendor burns, Teach us still to turn to you; With your light our souls renew. Then shall we our voices raise In unfailing prayer and praise. Topics: Morning; Morning Languages: English Tune Title: VOLLER WUNDER

Joseph Humphreys

b. 1720 Author of "Blessed Are the Sons of God" in The Lutheran Hymnal Humphreys, Joseph, son of Asher Humphreys, minister at Burford, Oxfordshire, was born at Burford, Oct. 28, 1720, and educated at a grammar school at Fairford, and at an academy for the training of young men for the ministry in London. From the latter he was expelled, Dec. 25, 1739, because of his attachment to Whitefield. For a short time he associated with the Wesleys, but eventually joined G. Whitefield, and subsequently preached at Bristol, London, and Deptford. He died in London (date unknown), and was buried in the Moravian Cemetery at Chelsea. He was a contributor to Whitefield's Christian History (1741-1748), 1742, &c, and published, 1742, An Account of Joseph Humphreys's Experiences, &c. As a hymnwriter he is not widely known. His hymns were contributed to J. Cennick'e Sacred Hymns for the Use of Religious Societies (Bristol), 1743, pt. ii., and are thus introduced: "These were done by Mr. Joseph Humphreys." Of these hymns, two only are in common use:— 1. Blessed are the sons of God. Adoption. 2. Come, guilty souls, and flee away. Invitation. These are given in Spurgeon's Our Own Hymn Book, 1866, and other collections. No. 1 is the more popular of the two. It is sometimes abbreviated, and has the concluding lines of st. viii. added as a refrain to each stanza. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ================= Born: October 28, 1720, Burford, Oxfordshire, England. Died: London, England. Buried: Moravian Cemetery, Chelsea, England. Joseph was the son of Asher Humphreys, Rector of Barton, Hertfordshire, and subsequently Burford, Oxfordshire. At age 10, Joseph was sent to a grammar school at Fairfield, Gloucestershire. His father died in 1732, and Joseph was sent, at age 12, to a theological school in London. In 1738, having been converted to the doctrines of the Wesleys, he began to preach at the Foundry, London, in Bristol, and elsewhere. He attached himself particularly to John Cennick, and accompanied him frequently on his evangelistic tours. Hatfield reports, "For his irregularities in these respects, he was expelled, December 25, 1739, from the school." Following Cennick’s example, Humphreys separated from the Wesleys in April 1741 and became associated with Whitefield. The same year, he preached for the Moravians at Deptford, West Greenwich. He was also one of the four principal contributors to The Weekly History, just then established, in the interest of the new religious movement. Several of his "Letters to John Wesley," opposing his views, appeared in this journal. Humphreys frequently preached at the Bowling Green, Bristol, and the Tabernacle, London. In January 1743, he united with several clergymen and lay preachers in organizing, near Cardiff, Wales, the first Calvinistic Methodist Society. In 1790, according to John Wesley’s journal, Humphreys left Whitefield and was ordained a Presbyterian minister. He later received an Episcopal ordination. Humphreys’ works include: A Letter to the Religious Societies, in Testimony Against the Errors of Universal Redemption and Sinless Perfection (Bristol, England: 1741) An Account of Joseph Humphreys’ Experience at the Work of Grace upon His Heart (Bristol, England: 1742) --www.hymntime.com/tch
