We Limit Not the Truth of God
Author: George Rawson Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #316 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Faith and Aspiration Lyrics: 1 We limit not the truth of God
to our poor reach of mind,
to notions of our day and place,
crude, partial, and confined:
No, let a new and better hope
within our hearts be stirred:
O God, grant yet more light and truth
to break forth from your Word.
2 Who dares to bind to one's own sense
the oracles of heaven,
for all the nations, tongues, and climes
and all the ages given?
That universe, how much unknown!
that ocean unexplored!
O God, grant yet more light and truth
to break forth from your Word.
3 Eternal God, incarnate Word,
Spirit of flame and dove:
enlarge, expand all living souls
to comprehend your love;
And help us all to seek your will
with wiser powers conferred:
O God, grant yet more light and truth
to break forth from your Word.

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;

I rest upon unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]

support me in the rising flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
Christ then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]

Dressed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain] Scripture: Revelation 11:14 Languages: English Tune Title: SOLID ROCK

By Gracious Powers
Author: Dietrich Bonhoeffer; Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #413 (1995) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Faith and Aspiration First Line: By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered Lyrics: 1 By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered,
and confidently waiting, come what may,
We know that God is with us night and morning,
and never fails to greet us each new day.
2 Yet is this heart by its old foe tormented,
still evil days bring burdens, hard to bear;
O give our frightened souls the sure salvation
for which, O Lord, you taught us to prepare.
3 And when this cup you give is filled to brimming
with bitter sorrow, hard to understand,
We take it thankfully and without trembling,
out of so good and so beloved a hand.
4 Yet when again in this same world You give us
the joy we had, the brightness of your sun,
We shall remember all the days we lived through,
and our whole life shall then be yours alone. Scripture: Romans 8:31-39 Languages: English Tune Title: BONHOEFFER

O Light That Knew No Dawn
Author: Gregory Nazianzen; J. Brownlie Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #439 (1985) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Faith and Aspiration Lyrics: 1 O light that knew no dawn,
that shines to endless day,
all things in earth and heav'n
are lustred by thy ray;
no eye can to thy throne ascend,
nor mind thy brightness comprehend.
2 Thy grace, O Father, give,
that I may serve in fear;
above all gifts, I pray,
grant me thy voice to hear;
from sin thy child in mercy free,
and let me dwell in light with thee,
3 that cleansed from stain of sin,
I may glad homage give,
and, pure in heart, behold
thy beauty while I live,
clean hands in holy worship raise,
and thee, O Christ my Saviour, praise.
4 In supplication meek
to thee I bend the knee;
O Christ, when thou shalt come,
In love remember me,
and in thy kingdom, by thy grace,
grant me a humble servant's place.
5 Thy grace, O Father, give,
I humbly thee implore;
and let thy mercy bless
thy servant more and more.
All grace and glory be to thee,
from age to age eternally.

Make Me a Captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #442 (1985) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Faith and Aspiration Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord,
and then I shall be free;
force me to render up my sword,
and I shall conqueror be.
2 I sink in life's alarms
when by myself I stand;
imprison me within thine arms,
and strong shall be my hand.
3 My heart is weak and poor
until it master find;
it has no spring of action sure--
it varies with the wind.
4 It cannot freely move
till thou hast wrought its chain;
enslave it with thy matchless love,
and deathless it shall reign.
5 My will is not my own
till thou hast made it thine;
if it would reach a monarch's throne,
it must its crown resign.

Come Down, O Love Divine
Author: Bianco of Siena; R. F. Littledale Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #444 (1985) Meter: 6.6.11 D Topics: Faith and Aspiration Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine,
seek thou this soul of mine,
and visit it with thine own ardor glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let thy glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 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 he become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.

Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart
Author: George Croly Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #445 (1985) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Faith and Aspiration Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
wean it from earth, through all its pulses move;
stoop to my weakness, mighty as thou art,
and make me love thee as I ought to love.
2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
no sudden rending of the veil of clay,
no angel visitant, no opening skies,
but take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Hast thou not bid us love thee, God and King?
All, all thine own: soul, heart, and strength and mind;
I see the cross--there teach my heart to cling;
O let me seek thee and O let me find!
4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh;
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear;
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love:
one holy passion filling all my frame,
the baptism of the heav'n-descended Dove:
my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.
Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 Languages: English Tune Title: MORECAMBE
