Thou grace divine, encircling all

Author: Faber Hymnal: VoP1873 #93 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 THOU grace divine, encircling all, A soundless, shoreless sea! Wherein at last our souls shall fall, O love of God, most free! 2 When over dizzy steeps we go, One soft hand blinds our eyes, The other leads us safe and slow, O love of God, most wise! 3 And though we turn us from thy face, And wander wide and long, Thou hold'st us still in thine embrace, O love of God, most strong! 4 But not alone thy care we claim, Our wayward steps to win; We know thee by a dearer name, O love of God within! 5 And filled and quickened by thy breath, Our souls are strong and free To rise o'er sin and fear and death, O love of God, to thee!

Oh, for a shout of joy

Author: Young Hymnal: VoP1873 #94 (1873) Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a shout of joy, Worthy the theme we sing! To this divine employ Our hearts and voices bring: Sound, sound through all the earth abroad, The love, the eternal love of God. 2 Unnumbered myriads stand, Of seraphs bright and fair, Or bow at thy right hand, And pay their homage there; But strive in vain with loudest chord, To sound thy wondrous love, O Lord. 3 Yet sinners saved by grace, In songs of lower key, In every age and place, Have sung the mystery-- Have told in strains of sweet accord Thy love, thy sovereign love, O Lord. 4 Though earth and hell assail, And doubts and fears arise, The weakest shall prevail, And grasp the heavenly prize, And through an endless age record Thy love, thy changeless love, O Lord.

Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #95 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O love of God, how strong and true! Eternal and yet ever new; Above all price, and still unbought, Beyond all knowledge and all thought. 2 O wide embracing, wondrous love, We read thee in the sky above, We read thee in the earth below, In seas that swell and streams that flow. 3 We read thee best in him who came To bear for us the cross of shame; Sent by the Father from on high, Our life to live, our death to die. 4 O love of God, our shield and stay, Through all the perils of our way; Eternal love, in thee we rest, For ever safe, for ever blest.

Earth, with her ten thousand flowers

Author: Taylor Hymnal: VoP1873 #96 (1873) Lyrics: 1 Earth, with her ten thousand flowers, Air, with all its beams and showers, Ocean's infinite expanse, Heaven's resplendent countenance; All around, and all above, Hath this record--God is love. 2 Sounds among the vales and hills, In the woods and by the rills, Of the breeze and of the bird, By the gentle murmur stirred; All these songs, beneath, above, Have one burden--God is love. 3 All the hopes and fears that start From the fountain of the heart; All the quiet bliss that lies In our human sympathies; These are voices from above, Sweetly whispering--God is love.
