Thy Word is like a garden, Lord
Author: Edwin Hodder Hymnal: The Hymnal #219 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: The Holy Scriptures; Holy Scriptures Lyrics: 1 Thy Word is like a garden, Lord,
With flowers bright and fair;
And everyone who seeks may pluck
A lovely cluster there.
Thy Word is like a glorious choir,
And loud its anthems ring;
Though many tongues and parts unite,
It is one song they sing.
2 Thy Word is like an armory,
Where soldiers may repair,
And find for life’s long battle day
All needful weapons there.
O may I find my armor there;
Thy Word my trusty sword,
I’ll learn to fight with every foe
The battle of the Lord.
Amen. Tune Title: PETERSHAM

When quiet in my house I sit
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #187 (1917) Topics: The Godhead Holy Scripture Lyrics: 1 When quiet in my house I sit,
Thy book be my companion still;
My joy Thy sayings to repeat,
Talk o'er the records of Thy will,
And search the oracles divine,
Till every heart-felt word be mine.
2 O may the gracious words divine
Subject of all my converse be!
So will the Lord His follower join,
And walk and talk Himself with me;
So shall my heart His presence prove,
And burn with everlasting love.
3 Oft as I lay me down to rest,
O may the reconciling word
Sweetly compose my weary breast!
While, on the bosom of my Lord,
I sink in blissful dreams away,
And visions of eternal day.
4 Rising to sing my Saviour's praise,
Thee may I publish all day long;
And let Thy precious word of grace
Flow from my heart, and fill my tongue;
Fill all my life with purest love,
And join me to the church above.

O Word of God Incarnate
Author: Bp. W. Walsham How, 1823-1897 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #188 (1917) Topics: The Godhead Holy Scripture Lyrics: 1 O Word of God Incarnate,
O wisdom from on high,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
O Light of our dark sky;
We praise Thee for the radiance
That from the hallowed page,
A lantern to our footsteps,
Shines on from age to age.
2 The Church from her dear Master
Received the gift divine,
And still that light she lifteth
O'er all the earth to shine.
It is the golden casket,
Where gems of truth are stored;
It is the heaven-drawn picture
Of Christ the living Word.
3 It floateth like a banner
Before God's host unfurled;
It shineth like a beacon
Above the darkling world;
It is the chart and compass
That o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands,
Still guide, O Christ, to Thee.
4 O make Thy Church, dear Saviour,
A lamp of burnished gold
To bear before the nations
Thy sure light as of old;
O teach Thy wandering pilgrims
By this their path to trace,
Till, clouds and darkness ended,
They see Thee face to face. Languages: English Tune Title: LANCASHIRE

That He may touch my eyes,
And make me see;
Show me the truth concealed
Within Thy Word,
And in Thy Book revealed
I see the Lord.
