Almighty God, great Source of all

Hymnal: HEC #118 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Almighty God, great Source of all, Upholder of the earth and sea, To whom Thy works unceasing call, Throughout their vast immensity; The heaven reflects Thy glory bright, From sunlit dome, and starry height. Dark clouds surround Thy kingly seat; But where Thou art is peerless light; There righteousness and mercy meet In all their gentleness and might; The beauty of Thy place of bliss Is purity and holiness. 119 Almighty God! Thy power supreme The rebel arm presumes to win, While all the hosts of hell blaspheme, And hurl the darts of death and sin; But lo, the God-man, girt with might, Hath turned the hosts of hell to flight. Almighty God! we lift our eyes To where the awful cross is raised, And there, by holy sacrifice, Behold the pride of sin abased; And at His feet, whose love o'ercame, Renew our fealty to Thy name.

Great love Divine, whose compass broad

Hymnal: HEC #120 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Great love Divine, whose compass broad Involves the utmost point from God; Wide as the sun its radiance sheds, Broad as the night its darkness spreads; Far as the heavens creation span Reaches the love of God for man. Great love Divine, far reaching, vast, To endless time from ages past; As far as stretches human need, Far as the sin of man can lead; No wandering soul outstrips its pace, Or gains the limit of its grace. 121 Great love Divine, profoundly deep, More mysteries than the waters keep Are held within its vast abyss, Unsounded, dark, and fathomless; It sinks to where the hopeless lie, To touch their deepest misery. Great love Divine, surpassing far In height yon glorious morning star; Brighter its sheen, more pure and fair, No stain of faithlessness is there; It beckons from the heavenly throne Whence from eternity it shone. Profoundest thought the mind can hold, Conned by the saints through ages old, Taught by the Christ whose mission showed Its greatness by the gift bestowed; Great love Divine!--immortal theme! In breadth, length, depth, and height supreme. Languages: English

Great Son of God, supremely brave

Hymnal: HEC #122 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Great Son of God, supremely brave, Who stooped to earth in fleshly guise, The erring souls of men to save, And bring them back to Paradise; Unceasing praise Thy love shall tell, Where men redeemed, and angels dwell. Great Son of God, supremely meek, The vileness of our shame to wear; In haunts of sin the lost to seek, The burden of their guilt to bear, And on a cross resign Thy breath, To save their souls from endless death. 123 Great Son of God, supremely good, The blessing of Thy life to give; Thy wounded flesh for needful food, That in Thy strength our souls may live, And in that strength unfaltering rise To lives of noblest sacrifice. Great Son of God, we own Thy claim-- Our souls are Thine, and not our own; Now on our foreheads stamp Thy name, That we may live for Thee alone, And in our lives such service show, As Thou didst render here below.

How shall we climb the hill of God

Hymnal: HEC #124 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: How shall we climb the hill of God, And stand before His face-- We, who in heedless ways have trod, And scorned the thought of grace? Our hands with guilty deeds are stained, All that we touch is vile; The things we sought for, and have gained, With filthiness defile. And in our hearts, the home of love, No love of God resides; No thought that wings its flight above, Where purity abides. 125 But Thou wilt cleanse our filthiness, And with Thy Spirit's fire Consume the hateful sordidness, That taints our souls' desire. Then shall we climb the holy hill With those whose hands are clean; Such visions bright our minds shall fill As by the pure are seen. O God, our God, we worship low, For Thou hast brought us nigh; Grant us in holiness to grow, Till we abide on high. Languages: English

Almighty God! Thy power controls

Hymnal: HEC #126 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Almighty God! Thy power controls The surging sea that ceaseless rolls; Its waves obey Thy high behest, And mount to heaven, or sink to rest. Creation owns its rightful Lord, And bows submissive to Thy word; No will against Thy will prevails, He sinks to earth who God assails. When passions surge within the soul, As waves before the tempest roll; When wild desires the heart entice From yielding aught to sacrifice, 127 Then, Lord, command the surge to cease, And give the soul Thy lasting peace; For Thou hast power who stilled the sea That wildly raged at Galilee. Lord, when our souls by care oppressed, By sorrow grieved, or doubt distressed, Peer through the darkness for the ray That tells of dawn, and coming day: Speak, and the Voice that bade the light O'erthrow the reign of primal night, Shall bring the sunshine that shall scare Those prowling terrors in their lair. O Christ our Lord, Thy power proclaim, Our wills control, our passions tame; Be near us, and unrest shall cease, Amid the calm of heavenly peace. Languages: English

Far from Thy heavenly care

Hymnal: HEC #128 (1913) Meter: 6.6.8.4 Lyrics: Far from Thy heavenly care, Lord, I have gone astray; And all the wealth Thou gav'st to me, Have cast away. Now from a broken heart, In penitence sincere, I lift my prayer to Thee, O Lord; In mercy hear; And in Thy blest abode Give me a servant's place, That I, a son, may learn to own A Father's grace.

Light serene of holy glory

Hymnal: HEC #129 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: Light serene of holy glory From the Immortal Father poured, Holy Thou, O blessed Jesus, Holy, blessed, Christ the Lord. Now we see the sun descending, Now declines the evening light, And in hymns we praise the Father, Son and Spirit, God of Might. Worthy of unending praises, Christ the Son of God, art Thou; For Thy gift of life eternal, See the world adores Thee now. Languages: English

When Thou shalt come, O Lord

Hymnal: HEC #130 (1913) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: When Thou shalt come, O Lord, Wrapt in Thy glory bright, Then shall the earth in terror quake, The sun withhold his light. When Thou shalt come, O Lord, Then to Thy judgment-bar, Even as a mighty stream, shall flow The sons of men from far. When Thou shalt come, O Lord, Then save me by Thy power; Let not the flames of wrath o'ertake Thy servant in that hour. 131 When Thou shalt come, O Lord, In mercy let me stand-- No guilt upon my conscience laid-- Approved, at Thy right hand.

To Thy blest Cross, O Christ, we come

Hymnal: HEC #132 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: To Thy blest Cross, O Christ, we come, And falling down adore Thee, And humbly make confession full Of all our sins before Thee. For Thou Thyself art very God, And freely cam'st to save us; And in our flesh the fetters broke With which our sins enslave us. Therefore we own with grateful hearts The joy the Saviour brought us, Who came to earth, and in our sins With love and pity sought us. Languages: English

Lord, I am Thine, for Thou hast died for me

Hymnal: HEC #133 (1913) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: Lord, I am Thine, for Thou hast died for me; Thy claim I own, and give myself to Thee; Not with the price of gold, of gold most fine Hast Thou redeemed my soul, and made me Thine: Thy blood was shed upon the awful tree; I marvel at the love there shown for me All loveless, and to sin and self a slave; Thy gifts enriched me, yet I nothing gave! Now in its wonder would my soul arise, Shorn of all pride, but precious in Thine eyes, Who for its life Thy glory laidst aside, And wore its shame, and for its purchase died; 134 And fired with love, that wondrous love proclaim In life, in death, in fealty to Thy name; In loving service, for such service given, Here upon earth, and yonder in Thy heaven. Lord, I am Thine, Thy love hath won my soul; Now shall my life obey such sweet control-- No, not mine own, the purchase is complete, I bring my all to lay it at Thy feet. Languages: English
