Father, how wide Thy glory shines!
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 311 hymnals Topics: Septuagesima Sunday Lyrics: 1 Father, how wide Thy glory shines!
How high thy wonders rise!
Known through the earth by thousand signs,
By thousands through the skies.
2 Those mighty orbs proclaim Thy power,
Their motions speak Thy skill;
And on the wings of every hour
We read Thy patience still.
3 But when we view Thy grand design
To save rebellious worms,
Where justice and compassion join
In their divinest forms;
4 Our thoughts are lost in reverent awe:
We love and we adore;
Thy first archangel never saw
So much of God before.
5 Then sinners break the Father's laws,
The dying Son atones;
Oh, the dear mysteries of His Cross!
The triumph of His groans! Used With Tune: ABRIDGE
Father, how wide Thy glory shines!
All that I was, my sin, my guilt
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: Septuagesima Sunday Lyrics: 1 All that I was, my sin, my guilt,
My death, was all my own;
All that I am, I owe to Thee,
My gracious God, alone.
2 The evil of my former state
Was mine, and only mine;
The good in which I now rejoice
Is Thine, and only Thine.
3 The darkness of my former state,
The bondage, all was mine;
The light of life in which I walk,
The liberty, is Thine.
4 Thy grace first made me feel my sin,
It taught me to believe;
Then in believing, peace I found,
And now I live, I live.
5 All that I am, even here on earth,
All that I hope to be,
When Jesus comes and glory dawns,
I owe it, Lord, to Thee. Used With Tune: DUNDEE
All that I was, my sin, my guilt
The King of heaven His table spreads
Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 233 hymnals Topics: Septuagesima Sunday Lyrics: 1 The King of heaven His table spreads,
And dainties crown the board.
Not all the boasted joys of earth
Could such delight afford.
2 Pardon and peace to dying men,
And endless life are given;
And the rich Blood that Jesus shed
To raise the soul to heaven.
3 Ye hungry poor, who long have strayed
In sin’s dark mazes, come;
Come from the hedges and highways,
And Grace shall find you room.
4 Thousands of souls, in glory now,
Were fed and feasted here;
And thousands more, still on the way,
Around the board appear.
5 Yet are His house and heart so large,
That thousands more may come;
Nor could the wide assembled world
O’erfill the spacious room.
6 All things are ready: enter in,
Nor weak excuses frame.
Come, take your places at the feast,
And bless the Founder’s Name. Used With Tune: NUN DANKET ALL' U. BRINGET EHR
The King of heaven His table spreads
Teach me, my God and King
Author: John Wesley; George Herbert Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 263 hymnals Topics: Septuagesima Sunday Lyrics: 1 Teach me, my God and King,
In all things Thee to see,
And what I do in anything,
To do it as for Thee!
2 To scorn the senses' sway,
While still to Thee I tend:
In all I do be Thou the Way,
In all be Thou the End!
3 All may of Thee partake;
Nothing so small can be,
But draws, when acted for Thy sake,
Greatness and worth from Thee.
4 If done to obey Thy laws,
Even servile labors shine:
Hallowed is toil, if this the cause,
The meanest work divine. Used With Tune: LYTE
Teach me, my God and King
Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates!
Author: George Weissel; Miss Winkworth Meter: 8.8.6 Appears in 273 hymnals Topics: Septuagesima Sunday Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates!
Behold, the King of glory waits;
The King of kings is drawing near,
The Saviour of the world is here;
Life and salvation He doth bring,
Wherefore rejoice, and gladly sing:
We praise Thee, Father, now,
Creator, wise art Thou!
2 The Lord is just, a Helper tried,
Mercy is ever at His side;
His kingly crown is holiness,
His sceptre, pity in distress,
The end of all our woe He brings;
Wherefore the earth is glad and sings:
We praise Thee, Saviour, now,
Mighty in deed are Thou!
3 O blest the land, the city blest,
Where Christ the Ruler is confest!
O happy hearts and happy homes
To whom this King in triumph comes!
The cloudless Sun of joy He is,
Who bringeth pure delight and bliss:
O Comforter Divine,
What boundless grace is Thine!

4 Fling wide the portals of your heart;
make it a temple, set apart
from earthly use for heaven's employ,
adorned with prayer, and love, and joy;
So shall your Sovereign enter in,
And new and nobler life begin:
To Thee, O God, be praise,
For word and deed and grace!
5 Redeemer, come! I open wide
My heart to Thee; here, Lord, abide!
Let me Thy inner presence feel,
Thy grace and love in me reveal;
Thy Holy Spirit guide us on,
Until our glorious goal be won!
Eternal praise and fame
We offer to Thy Name.

Unchangeable Thou hast me viewed.

Thy tender mercies me pursued.
Ever with me may they abide,
And close me in on every side.

How wondrous things Thy Love hath wrought!
Still lead me, lest I go astray;
Direct my work, inspire my thought;
And if I fall, soon may I hear
Thy voice, and know that Love is near.

In weakness be Thy love my power;
And when the storms of life shall cease,
Jesus, in that important hour,
In death as life be Thou my Guide,
And save me, who for me hast died! Used With Tune: MACHS MIT MIR GOTT NACH DEINER GÜT

And well deserves the praise. Used With Tune: DOVER

To all about him, "Come!"

And freely drink the stream of life;

For ever by Thy Love adored,
Thy Name for ever blest. Used With Tune: LONDON NEW
