O Morning Star! how fair and bright

Author: Miss Winkworth; Philip Nicolai Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Love to God and Christ Lyrics: 1 O Morning Star! how fair and bright Thou beamest forth in truth and light! O Sov'reign meek and lowly, Thou Root of Jesse, David's Son, My Lord and Bridegroom, thou hast won My heart to serve Thee solely! Holy art Thou, Fair and glorious, All victorious, Rich in blessing, Rule and might o'er all possessing. 2 Thou Heavenly Brightness! Light Divine! O deep within my heart now shine, And make Thee there an altar! Fill me with joy and strength to be Thy member, ever joined to Thee In love that cannot falter; Toward Thee longing Doth possess me, Turn and bless me, For Thy gladness Eye and heart here pine in sadness. 3 But if Thou look on me in love, There straightway falls from God above A ray of purest pleasure; Thy Word and Spirit, Flesh and Blood, Refresh my soul with heavenly food, Thou art my hidden treasure; Let Thy grace, Lord, Warm and cheer O draw near me; Thou hast taught us Thee to seek since Thou hast sought us! 4 Here will I rest, and hold it fast, The Lord I love is First and Last, The End as the Beginning! Here I can calmly die, for Thou Wilt raise me where Thou dwellest now, Amen! Amen! Come, Lord Jesus, Soon release us, With deep yearning, Lord, we look for Thy returning.

And will he write his name My Father and my Friend? I love his name, I love his word; join, all my powers, and praise the Lord. Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:13-16 Used With Tune: ST JOHN

Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost

Author: Bp. C. Wordsworth Meter: 7.7.7.5 Appears in 205 hymnals Topics: Love to God Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost, Taught by Thee we covet most Of Thy gifts at Pentecost, Holy, heavenly love. 2 Love is kind, and suffers long, Love is meek, and thinks no wrong, Love than death itself more strong; Therefore, give us love. 3 Prophecy will fade away, Melting in the light of day; Love will ever with us stay; Therefore, give us love. 4 Faith will vanish into sight; Hope be emptied in delight; Love in heaven will shine more bright; Therefore, give us love. 5 Faith and hope and love we see, Joining hand in hand, agree, But the greatest of the three, And the best, is love. 6 From the overshadowing Of Thy gold and silver wing, Shed on us, who to Thee sing, Holy, heavenly love. Amen. Used With Tune: [Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost]

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me

Appears in 347 hymnals Topics: Love To God and Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; Unite my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there. Thine wholly, Thine alone I am; Be Thou alone my constant flame. 2 Oh, grant that nothing in my soul May dwell, but Thy pure love alone! Oh, may Thy love possess me whole, And be my treasure, and my crown! Strange flames far from my heart remove; May every act, word, thought, be love! 3 O Love, how cheering is thy ray! All pain before thy presence flies: Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek but Thee! 4 O draw me, Saviour, after Thee! So shall I run and never tire. With gracious words still comfort me; Be Thou my hope, my sole desire. Free me from every weight: not fear No sin can come, if Thou art here. 5 From all eternity, with love Unchangeable Thou hast me viewed; Ere knew this beating heart to move, Thy tender mercies me pursued. Ever with me may they abide, And close me in on every side. 6 Still let Thy love point out my way; What wondrous things Thy love hath wrought! Still lead me, lest I go astray; Direct my word, inspire my thought; And if I fall, soon may I hear Thy voice, and know that love is near. 7 In suffering, be Thy love my peace; In weakness, be Thy love my power; And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in that dark final hour Of death, be Thou my guide and friend, That I may love Thee without end.
