Shall foolish, weak, short-sighted man

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Shall foolish, weak, short-sighted man Beyond archangels go, The great Almighty God explain, Or to perfection know? His attributes divinely soar Above the creature’s sight, And prostrate seraphim adore The glorious Infinite. 2 Jehovah’s everlasting days, They cannot numbered be; Incomprehensible the space Of Thine immensity; Thy wisdom’s depths by reason’s line In vain we strive to sound, Or stretch our laboring thought to assign Omnipotence a bound. 3 The brightness of Thy glories leave Description far below; Nor man, nor angel’s heart conceives How deep Thy mercies flow; Thy love is most unsearchable, And dazzles all above; They gaze, but cannot count or tell The treasures of Thy love! Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD Text Sources: Short Hymns, 1762

Whom Jesus' Blood Doth Sanctify

Whom Jesus’ blood doth sanctify, Need neither sin nor fear; Hid in our Savior’s hand we lie, And laugh at danger near. His guardian hand doth hold, protect, And save, by ways unknown, The little flock, the saints elect, Who trust in Him alone. 2. Our prophet, priest, and king, to Thee We joyfully submit; And learn, in meek humility, Our lesson at Thy feet. Spirit and life Thy words impart, And blessings from above; And drop, in every listening heart The manna of Thy love. Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM Text Sources: In the Wesley manuscripts

Lo, What a Glorious Sight Appeared

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 291 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a glorious sight appeared before admiring eyes: the former things all passed away, the former earth and skies. From heav’n the new Jerus'lem came, for Christ, as bride prepared. A voice resounding from the throne these wondrous things declared: 2 "Now God has come to dwell with men, and moved his blest abode. His people they shall be at last, and he shall be their God. His gracious hand shall wipe the tears from ev'ry weeping eye, for pain and grief shall be no more, and death itself shall die." 3 The One who sat upon the throne said, "I make all things new! Write down the words that you have heard, for they are firm and true. It is all done, and by my pow'r is paradise restored. I am the First, and I the Last, the one eternal Lord. 4 "Come, all who thirst! To you I will my healing water give. Drink from my fountain without price and so forever live. Blest is the man who, conquering, his heritage has won, for I will be his faithful God and he shall be my son. 5 "As for the vile and faithless ones, those who my will defy are thrown into the burning lake, and death itself shall die." We, too, shall stand before the throne; then shall our names be found recorded in the Book of Life. How shall our joy abound!

O Jesus, Prince of Life and Truth

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Jesus, Prince of life and truth, Beneath Thy banner bright, We dedicate our strength and youth To battle for the right. We give our lives with glad intent To serve the world and Thee, To die, to suffer and be spent To set our brothers free. 2. In serried ranks, with fearless tread, O Captain of us all, Thy glory on our banners shed, We answer to Thy call; And where the fiercest battles press Against the hosts of sin, To rescue those in dire distress We gladly enter in. 3. O Jesus, once a Nazareth boy, And tempted like as we, All inward foes help us destroy, And spotless all to be. We trust Thee for the grace to win The high, victorious goal, Where purity shall conquer sin In Christ-like self control. Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS Text Sources: Living Hymns, by William E.
