Eternal Beam of light divine

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 96 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal Beam of light divine, Thou Fount of unexhausted love, In whom the Father's glories shine, Through earth beneath, and heaven above, Jesus, the weary wanderer's rest, Give me thy easy yoke to bear, With steadfast patience arm my breast, With spotless love and lowly fear. 2 Thankful I take the cup from thee, Prepared and mingled by thy skill; Though bitter to the taste it be, Powerful the wounded soul to heal. Be thou, O Rock of Ages, nigh! So shall each murmuring thought be gone, And grief, and fear, and care shall fly, As clouds before the midday sun. 3 Speak to my warring passions, "Peace;" Say to my trembling heart, "Be still;" Thy power my strength and fortress is, For all things serve thy sovereign will. O death! where is thy sting? Where now Thy boasted victory, O grave? Who shall contend with God? or who Can hurt whom God delights to save?

Eternal Source of every joy

Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 375 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal Source of every joy, Well may thy praise our lips employ While in thy temple we appear, To hail thee Sovereign of the year! Wide as the wheels of nature roll, Thy hand supports and guides the whole: The sun is taught by thee to rise, And darkness when to vail the skies 2 The flowery spring, at thy command Perfumes the air, adorns the land; The summer rays with vigor shine, To raise the corn, to cheer the vine: Thy hand, in autumn, richly pours Through all our coasts redundant stores; And winters, softened by thy care, No more the face of horror wear. 3 Seasons and months, and weeks and days, Demand successive songs of praise; And be the grateful homage paid, With morning light and evening shade. Here in thy house let incense rise, And circling Sabbaths bless our eyes, Till to those lofty heights we sour, Where days and years revolve no more.

Far from mortal cares retreating

Author: Anon. Appears in 189 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Far from mortal cares retreating, Sordid hopes and vain desires, Here, our willing footsteps meeting, Every heart to heaven aspires.

Every pure and humble mind, Every kindred, tongue, and nation, From the stains of guilt refined. Blessings all around bestowing, God withholds his care from none; Grace and truth are ever flowing From the fountain of his throne.
