Strong Son of God, immortal Love
Author: Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1809-1892 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #639 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Strong Son of God, immortal Love,
Whom we, that have not seen Thy face,
By faith, and faith alone, embrace,
Believing where we cannot prove;
2 Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to be;
They are but broken lights of Thee,
And Thou, O Lord, art more than they.
3 We have but faith: we cannot know;
For knowledge is of things we see;
And yet we trust it comes from Thee,
A beam in darkness: let it grow.
4 Let knowledge grow from more to more,
But more of reverence in us dwell;
That mind and soul, according well,
May make one music as before. Languages: English Tune Title: RIVAULX
Strong Son of God, immortal Love
Thou, whose unmeasured temple stands
Author: William Cullen Bryant, 1794-1878 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #640 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Thou, whose unmeasured temple stands,
Built over earth and sea,
Accept the walls that human hands
Have raised to worship Thee!
2 Lord, from Thine inmost glory send,
Within these courts to bide,
The peace that dwelleth without end,
Serenely by Thy side!
3 May erring minds that worship here
Be taught the better way,
And they who mourn, and they who fear
Be strengthened as they pray.
4 May faith grow firm, and love grow warm,
And pure devotion rise,
While round these hallowed walls the storm
Of earthborn passion dies. Languages: English Tune Title: MANCHESTER
Thou, whose unmeasured temple stands
All things are thine: no gift have we
Author: J. G. Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #641 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 All things are Thine: no gift have we,
Lord of all gifts, to offer Thee;
And hence with grateful heart to-day,
Thine own before Thy feet we lay
2 Thy will was in the builder's thought;
Thy hand unseen amidst us wrought;
Through mortal motive, scheme, and plan,
Thy wise eternal purpose ran.
3 In weakness and in want we call
On Thee for whom the heavens are small;
Thy glory is Thy children's good,
Thy joy Thy tender Fatherhood.
4 O Father! deign these walls to bless
Fill with Thy love their emptiness,
And let their door a gateway be
To lead us from ourselves to Thee!
Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER NEW
All things are thine: no gift have we
O Lord of hosts, whose glory fills
Author: Dr. J. M. Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #642 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 O Lord of hosts, whose glory fills
The bounds of the eternal hills,
And yet vouchsafes, in Christian lands,
To dwell in temples made with hands.
2 Grant that all we who here to-day
Rejoicing this foundation lay,
May be in very deed Thine own,
Built on the precious Corner-Stone.
3 Endue the creatures with the grace
That shall adorn Thy dwelling place;
The beauty of the oak and pine,
The gold and silver, make them Thine.
4 To Thee they all pertain; to Thee
The treasures of the earth and sea;
And when we bring them to Thy throne
We but present Thee with Thine own.
5 The heads that guide endue with skill;
The hands that work preserve from ill;
That we, who these foundations lay,
May raise the topstone in its day. Languages: English Tune Title: SAMSON
O Lord of hosts, whose glory fills
Christ is the foundation
Author: Dr. John S. Monsell, 1811-1875 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #643 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Christ is the foundation
Of the house we raise;
Be its walls salvation,
And its gateways praise;
May its threshold lowly
To the Lord be dear,
May the hearts be holy
That shall worship here.
2 Here the vow be sealed
By Thy Spirit, Lord;
Here the sick be healed,
And the lost restored;
Here the broken-hearted
Thy forgiveness prove;
Here the friends long parted
Be restored to love.
3 Here may every token
Of Thy presence be;
Here may chains be broken,
Prisoners here set free;
Here may light illumine
Every soul of Thine,
Lifting up the human
Into the divine.
4 Here may God the Father,
Christ the Saviour--Son,
With the Holy Spirit,
Be adored as One;
Till the whole creation
At Thy footstool fall,
And in adoration
Own Thee Lord of all. Languages: English Tune Title: FOUNDATION
Christ is the foundation
Come in, thou blessed of the Lord
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #644 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Come in, thou blessed of the Lord,
Stranger nor foe art thou;
We welcome thee with warm accord,
Our friend, our brother, now.
2 The hand of fellowship, the heart
Of love, we offer thee;
Leaving the world, thou dost but part
From lies and vanity.
3 Come with us; we will do thee good,
As God to us hath done;
Stand but in Him, as those have stood
Whose faith the victory won. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AGNES
Come in, thou blessed of the Lord
Lord, Thou lov'st the cheerful giver
Author: Robert Murray, 1832-1910 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #645 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou lov'st the cheerful giver,
Who with open heart and hand
Blesses freely, as a river
That refreshes all the land.
Grant us then the grace of giving
With a spirit large and free,
That our life and all our giving
We may consecrate to Thee.
2 We are Thine, Thy mercy sought us,
Found us in death's dreadful way,
To the fold in safety brought us,
Never more from Thee to stray.
Thine own life Thou freely gavest
As an offering on the cross
For each sinner whom Thou savest
From eternal shame and loss.
3 Blest by Thee with gifts and graces,
May we heed Thy Church's call;
Gladly in all times and places
Give to Thee who givest all.
Thou hast bought us, and no longer
Can we claim to be our own;
Ever free and ever stronger,
We shall serve Thee, Lord, alone.
4 Saviour, Thou hast freely given
All the blessings we enjoy,
Earthly store and bread of heaven,
Love and peace without alloy;
Humbly now we bow before Thee,
And our all to Thee resign;
For the kingdom, power, and glory,
Are, O Lord, for ever Thine. Languages: English Tune Title: BENEVOLENCE
Lord, Thou lov'st the cheerful giver
O Lord, be with us when we sail
Author: E. A. Dayman, 1807-1890 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #646 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 O Lord, be with us when we sail
Upon the lonely deep,
Our guard when on the silent deck
The midnight watch we keep.
2 We need not fear, though all around
'Mid rising winds we hear
The multitude of waters surge;
For Thou, O God, art near.
3 The calm, the breeze, the gale, the storm,
That pass from land to land,
All, all are Thine, are held within
The hollow of Thine hand.
4 As when on blue Gennesaret
Rose high the angry wave,
And Thy disciples quailed in dread,
One word of Thine could save;
5 So when the fiercer storms arise
From man's unbridled will,
Be Thou, Lord, present in our hearts,
To whisper,"Peace, be still!"
6 Across this troubled tide of life
Thyself our pilot be,
Until we reach that better land,
The land that knows no sea. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. JAMES
O Lord, be with us when we sail
Eternal Father! strong to save
Author: W. Whiting, 1825-1878 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #647 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father! strong to save,
Whose arm doth bind the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!
2 O Saviour! whose almighty word
The winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walkedst on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage did sleep:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!
3 O Sacred Spirit! who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
Who bad'st its angry tumults cease,
And gavest light, and life, and peace:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!
4 O Trinity of love and power!
Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
And ever let there rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Languages: English Tune Title: MELITA
Eternal Father! strong to save
O Thou whose love bestoweth
Author: Dr. A. D. Watson, 1859- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #648 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 O Those whose love bestoweth
The treasures of the years,
Whose Father-heart well knoweth
Our gladness and our tears;
Our wills in deep devotion
And trust we bow to Thee,
Great Ruler of the ocean,
Kind Sovereign of the sea.
2 Far o'er the waters faring,
By faith and courage stayed,
Forth go our loved ones, daring
The billows, unafraid;
For in Thy love abiding,
They fear no threat'ning doom,
With Thee their Pilot guiding
Through sunshine, storm and gloom.
3 In star and dew and thunder,
We see Thy love and Thee,
And in the golden wonder
Of sunlight on the sea;
May faithfulness to duty
On land and ocean broad,
In joy and power and beauty,
Unveil the face of God.
4 O Thou who art so human
To love and sympathize,
With light divine illumine
Our sense-beclouded eyes;
And since Thy will doth call them,
We pray, O Lord, to Thee:
May nothing ill befall them
Our loved ones on the sea. Languages: English Tune Title: PLACENTIA
O Thou whose love bestoweth
