My God, how wonderful thou art
Author: Frederick William Faber (1814-1863) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 343 hymnals Matching Instances: 44 Lyrics: 1 My God, how wonderful thou art,
thy majesty how bright,
how beautiful thy mercy-seat
in depths of burning light!
2 How dread are thine eternal years,
O everlasting Lord,
by prostrate spirits day and night
incessantly adored!
3 How wonderful, how beautiful,
the sight of thee must be,
thine endless wisdom, boundless power,
and aweful purity!
4 O how I fear thee, living God,
with deepest, tenderest fears,
and worship thee with trembling hope
and penitential tears!
5 Yet I may love thee too, O Lord,
almighty as thou art,
for thou hast stooped to ask of me
the love of my poor heart.
6 No earthly father loves like thee,
no mother, e'er so mild,
bears and forbears as thou hast done
with me, thy sinful child.
7 Father of Jesus, love's reward,
what rapture will it be,
prostrate before thy throne to lie
and gaze and gaze on thee! Topics: Adoration; Devotion; Future hope; God in grace and mercy; God in majesty; Love for God; Penitence; The Third Sunday before Advent Year C; Wisdom Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER

Give Me the Wings of Faith
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 514 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 First Line: Give me the wings of faith to rise Lyrics: 1 Give me the wings of faith to rise
within the veil, and see
the saints above, how great their joys,
how bright their glories be.
2 Once they were mourners here below,
and poured out sighs and tears;
they wrestled hard, as we do now,
with sins and doubts and fears.
3 I ask them whence their victory came;
they with united breath
ascribe their conquest to the Lamb,
their triumph to his death.
4 They marked the footsteps that he trod,
his zeal inspired their breast;
and, following their incarnate God,
possess the promised rest.
5 Our glorious Leader claims our praise,
for his own pattern given;
while the long cloud of witnesses
show the same path to heaven. Topics: Communion of Saints; Heaven; Yearning Scripture: Hebrews 11:29-40, 12:1-2 Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER

Lord, in Thy name Thy servants plead
Author: J. Keble Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 67 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 Lord, in Thy Name Thy servants plead,
And Thou hast sworn to hear;
Thine is the harvest, Thine the seed,
The fresh and fading year.
2 Our hope, when autumn winds blew wild,
We trusted, Lord, with Thee:
And now that spring has on us smiled,
We wait on Thy decree.
3 The former and the latter rain,
The summer sun and air,
The green ear, and the golden grain,
All Thine, are ours by prayer.
4 Thine too by right, and ours by grace,
The wondrous growth unseen,
The hopes that soothe, the fears that brace,
The love that shines serene.
5 So grant the precious things brought forth
By sun and moon below,
That Thee, in Thy new heavens and earth,
We never may forego.
Amen. Topics: Rogation Days; Rogation Days; Providence Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER

Hope points the upward gaze;
And Love, celestial Love, inspires
The eloquence of praise.

Unheard by human ear,
When God has made the heart rejoice,
And dried the bitter tear.

All utterance faileth there;
But God Himself doth comprehend
And answer silent prayer. Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER (Turle)

A glory gilds the sacred page
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 379 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic like the sun;
It gives a light to every age,
It gives, but borrows none.
2 The Hand that gave it still supplies
His gracious light and heat.
His truths upon the nations rise;
They rise, but never set.
3 Let everlasting thanks be Thine,
For such a bright display
As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heavenly day.
4 My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of Him I love,
Till glory break upon my view
In brighter worlds above. Topics: The Means of Grace The Word of God; Epiphany, Sixth Sunday; Sexagesima Sunday Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER
