Delight in God

Author: Ryland, junior Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXLVIII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Love to God First Line: O Lord, I would delight in thee Lyrics: 1 O Lord, I would delight in thee, And on thy care depend; To thee in every trouble flee, My best, my only friend. 2 When all created streams are dry'd, Thy fulness is the same; May I with this be satisfy'd, And glory in thy name! 3 Why should the soul a drop bemoan Who has a fountain near, A fountain which will ever run With waters sweet and clear? 4 No good in creatures can be found, But all is found in thee; I must have all things, and abound, While God is God to me. 5 O that I had a stronger faith To look within the veil, To credit what my savior saith, Whose word can never fail! 6 He that has made my heaven secure Will here all good provide: While Christ is rich can I be poor, Who ma his much lov'd bride? 7 O Lord, I cast my care on thee, I triumph and adore; Henceforth my great concern shall be To love and please thee more.

Come down, O Love divine

Author: Bianco de Siena, d. 1434; Richard Frederick Littledale, 1833-90 Hymnal: Together in Song #398 (1999) Meter: 6.6.11 D Topics: God's Love to Us; Our Love to God Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine, seek now this soul of mine, and visit it with our own ardour glowing; O Comforter, draw near, within my heart appear and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing. 2 There let it freely burn, till earthly passions turn to dust and ashes, in its heat consuming; and let your glorious light shine ever on my sight and clothe me round, the while my path illuming. 3 Let holy charity my outward garment be, and lowliness become my inner clothing: true lowliness of heart, which takes the humbler part and for its own shortcomings weeps with loathing. 4 And so the yearning strong, with which the soul will long, shall far outpass the power of human telling; for none can guess its grace till we become the place in which the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.

Use us as a means of blessing: make us stronger, give us faith. 5 Give us faith to be more faithful, give us hope to be more true, give us love to go on learning: God! Encourage and renew!

Bid darkness turn to day, wipe sorrow's tears away, nor let me ever stray from thee aside. 4 When life's swift race is run, death's cold work almost done, be near to me.
