O perfect Love
Author: Dorothy Frances Gurney, 1858-1932 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 236 hymnals Topics: Sacraments and Ordinances Marriage First Line: O perfect Love, all human though transcending Lyrics: 1 O perfect Love, all human thought transcending,
lowly we kneel in prayer before your throne,
that theirs may be the love which knows no ending,
whom you in holy love now join in one.
2 O perfect Life, be now their full assurance
of tender charity and steadfast faith,
of patient hope and quiet, brave endurance,
with childlike trust that fears nor pain nor death.
3 Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow;
grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife,
and to life's day the glorious morrow
that dawns upon eternal love and life.

O Jesus, I have promised
Author: John Ernest Bode, 1816-1874 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 621 hymnals Topics: Sacraments and Ordinances Profession of Faith Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
be thou for ever near me,
my Saviour and my friend:
I shall not fear the struggle
if thou art by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if thou wilt be my guide.
2 Oh let me feel thee near me:
the world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me,
around me and within,
but, Jesus, draw thou nearer,
and shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear thee speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
oh speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
oh speak, and make me listen,
thou guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, thou hast promised
to all who follow thee,
that where thou art in glory
there shall thy servant be,
and, Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
oh give me grace to follow
my Saviour and my friend.

here would I touch and handle things unseen,
here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace,
and all my weariness upon thee lean.
2 Here would we feed upon the bread of God,
here drink with thee the royal wine of heaven;
here would we lay aside each earthly load,
here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.
3 This is the hour of banquet and of song;
this is the heavenly table for us spread;
here let us feast, and, feasting, still prolong
this fellowship in thee, our living bread.
4 Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear.
The feast, though not the love, is past and gone;
the bread and wine remove, but thou art here,
nearer than ever, still our shield and sun.
5 We have no help but thine, nor do we need
another arm but thine to lean upon;
it is enough, my Lord, enough indeed;
our strength is in thy might, thy might alone.
6 Mine is the sin, but thine the righteousness;
mine is the guilt, but thine the cleansing blood.
Here is my robe, my refuge and my peace,
thy blood, thy righteousness, O Lord, my God.
7 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by,
yet, passing, points to the glad feast above,
giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,
the Lamb's great marriage feast of bliss and love. Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-5 Used With Tune: LANGRAN
Here, O my Lord, I see thee

and sink the mountain to a plain;
give me the childlike praying love,
which longs to build thy house again;
thy love, let it my heart o'er-power,
and all my simple soul devour.
2 I would the precious time redeem,
and longer live for this alone,
to spend and to be spent for them
who have not yet my Saviour known;
fully on these my mission prove,
and only breathe, to breathe thy love.
3 My talents, gifts and graces, Lord,
into thy blessed hands receive,
and let me live to preach thy word,
and let me to thy glory live;
my every sacred moment spend
in publishing the sinner's Friend.
4 Enlarge, inflame and fill my heart
with boundless charity divine,
so shall I all my strength exert,
and love them with a zeal like thine,
and lead them to thy open side,
the sheep for whom the Shepherd died. Scripture: Psalm 69:9 Used With Tune: COLCHESTER

Praise to thy eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
