O vision blest of heavenly light
Author: George Boorne Timms, 1910-1997 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O vision blest of heavenly light,
which meets the three disciples' sight,
when on the holy mount they see
their Lord's transfigured majesty.
2 More bright than day his raiment shone;
the Father's voice proclaimed the Son
beloved before the worlds were made,
for us in mortal flesh arrayed.
3 And with him there on either hand
lo, Moses and Elijah stand,
to show how Christ, to those who see,
fulfils both law and prophecy.
4 O Light from Light, by love inclined,
Jesu, redeemer of mankind,
accept thy people's prayer and praise
which on the mount to thee they raise.
5 Be with us, Lord, as we descend
to walk with thee to journey's end,
that through thy cross we too may rise,
and share thy triumph in the skies.
6 To thee, O Father; Christ, to thee,
let praise and endless glory be,
whom with the Spirit we adore,
one Lord, one God, for evermore. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days The Transfiguration Used With Tune: WARRINGTON

God of all power, and truth, and grace
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 71 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of all power, and truth, and grace,
Which shall from age to age endure,
Whose word, when heaven and earth shall pass,
Remains and stands for ever sure;
2 That I Thy mercy may proclaim,
That all mankind Thy truth may see,
Hallow Thy great and glorious name,
And perfect holiness in me.
3 Purge me from every sinful blot;
My idols all be cast aside;
Cleanse me from every sinful thought,
From all the filth of self and pride.
4 Give me a new, a perfect heart,
From doubt, and fear, and sorrow free;
The mind which was in Christ impart,
And let my spirit cleave to Thee.
5 O that I now, from sin released,
Thy word may to the utmost prove,
Enter into the promised rest,
The Canaan of Thy perfect love!

Nature with open volume stands
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 148 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands
to spread her Maker's praise abroad,
and every labour of his hands
shows something worthy of our God.
2 But in the grace that rescued man
his brightest form of glory shines;
here on the cross 'tis fairest drawn
in precious blood and crimson lines.
3 Here his whole name appears complete;
nor wit can guess, nor reason prove
which of the letters best is writ,
the power, the wisdom, or the love.
4 O the sweet wonders of that cross
where God the Saviour loved and died;
her noblest life my spirit draws
from his dear wounds and bleeding side.
5 I would for ever speak his name
in sounds to mortal ears unknown,
with angels join to praise the Lamb,
and worship at his Father's throne. Topics: Church Year Good Friday; Good Friday; Jesus Names and images for; Praise; Proper 11 Year C Scripture: Romans 11:33-34 Used With Tune: WARRINGTON

O God, Thou Bottomless Abyss
Author: Ernst Lange; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God, Thou bottomless abyss!
Thee to perfection who can know?
O height immense! What words suffice
Thy countless attributes to show?
2. Unfathomable depths Thou art;
O plunge me in Thy mercy’s sea!
Void of true wisdom is my heart;
With love embrace and cover me:
3. While Thee, all-infinite, I set
By faith before my ravished eye,
My weakness bends beneath the weight;
O’erpowered I sink, I faint, I die.
4. Eternity Thy fountain was,
Which, like Thee, no beginning knew;
Thou wast ere time began his race,
Ere glowed with stars the ethereal blue.
5. Greatness unspeakable is Thine,
Greatness, whose undiminished ray,
When short-lived worlds are lost, shall shine,
When earth and Heaven are fled away.
6. Unchangeable, all-perfect Lord,
Essential life’s unbounded sea,
What lives and moves, lives by Thy Word;
It lives, and moves, and is from Thee.
7. Thy parent-hand, Thy forming skill,
Firm fixed this universal chain;
Else empty, barren darkness still
Had held his unmolested reign.
8. Whate’er in earth, or sea, or sky,
Or shuns or meets the wandering thought,
Escapes or strikes the searching eye,
By Thee was to perfection brought.
9. High is Thy power above all height,
Whate’er Thy will decrees is done;
Thy wisdom, equal to Thy might,
Only to Thee, O God, is known!
10. Heaven’s glory is Thy awful throne,
Yet earth partakes Thy gracious sway:
Vain man! Thy wisdom folly own,
Lost is thy reason’s feeble ray.
11. What our dim eye could never see,
Is plain and naked to Thy sight;
What thickest darkness veils, to Thee
Shines clearly as the morning light.
12. In light Thou dwell’st; light that no shade,
No variation, ever knew;
Heaven, earth, and hell, stand all displayed,
And open to Thy piercing view. Used With Tune: WARRINGTON Text Sources: Neues geistreiches Gesangbuch, by Johann A. Freylinghausen, 1714; translation in Collection of Psalms and Hymns (Charleston, South Carolina: 1737), number 16

Our Saviour comes to raise the just
Author: Anon. Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our Saviour comes to raise the just,
Who long have slumbered in the dust;
His voice will break their long repose;
And snatch them from the last of foes.
2 He comes to change the waiting ones
Who now endure the world's cold frowns;
Their feet are planted on the Rock;
They fear not, though a little flock.
3 Sinner, dost thou not dread thy doom?
The retribution hastens on;
Stern justice lifts the avenging sword
To slay the mocker of God's word.
4 O then repent, ere the decree,
"Let him that's filthy, filthy be,"
From the stern Judge's lips shall fall,
And thou for rocks and mountains call!
