How Great the Mystery of Faith

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Voices United #390 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Proper 27 Year C Lyrics: 1 How great the mystery of faith, how deep the purposes of God, in birth and ageing, life and death, unveiled, yet never understood! 2 Attracted by life's deepest claim we wait, assembled in this place, with needs and hopes we cannot name, athirst for healing, truth, and grace. 3 The best that we can do and say, the utmost care of skill and art, are sweepers of the Spirit's way to reach the depths of every heart. 4 Come, walk among us, Holy Friend, as all are gathered and prepared, that scattered lives may meet and mend through open Word and table shared.

Hear the hymn ascending, angels, saints, their voices blending. Bow your ear to us here; hearken, O Lord Jesus, to our humble praises. 3 O great Fount of blessing, purify my spirit, trusting only in your merit; like the holy angels gathered all before you, may I ceaselessly adore you. Let your will ever still rule your church terrestrial, as the hosts celestial. Languages: English Tune Title: ARNSBERG
