the hour I first believed!

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick William Faber Hymnal: Voices United #271 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Proper 26 Year C Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy
like the wideness of the sea;
there's a kindness in God's justice
which is more than liberty.

are more felt than up in heaven;
there is no place where earth's failings
have such gracious judgement given.
3 There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that Christ has shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the Head.
4 Troubled souls, why will you scatter
like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why will you wander
from a love so true and deep?
5 For the love of God is broader
than the measures of the mind,
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind. Tune Title: GOTT WILL'S MACHEN

sin and hell in conflict fell
with their heaviest storms assail us:
Jesus will not fail us.

though the storms may gather,
still have peace within;

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Hymnal: Voices United #262 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Topics: Proper 26 Year B Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper sure amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing:
for still our ancient foe
doth seek to work us woe;
power and malice great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth he has no equal.
2 Did we in our strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right man on our side,
the man of God's own choosing:
dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his name,
from age to age the same,
and he must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God hath willed
the truth to triumph through us:
the prince of darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo! his doom is sure,
one little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly powers,
no thanks to them, abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours
through Christ, who with us sideth:
let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
the body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still,
God's kingdom is forever. Languages: English Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG

How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

in a believer's ear!

and cold my warmest thought;

I'll praise you as I ought.

O Love, How Deep

It fills the heart with ecstasy,
that God, in Jesus Christ, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 God sent no angel to our race
of higher or of lower place,
but wore the robe of human frame,
and freely to this lost world came.
3 For us he was baptized, and bore
a holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharply knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us he prayed; for us he taught;
for us great daily works were wrought,
by words, and signs, and actions, thus
still seeking not himself, but us.
5 For us to wicked foes betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
6 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
7 To God whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through the Son,
to God all praise and glory be
both now and through eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR

stoop to my weakness, strength to me impart,
and make me love you 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 you not bid me love you, God and King;
all, all your own, soul, heart and strength and mind?
I see your cross: there teach my heart to cling.
O let me seek you and O let me find!
4 Teach me to love you as your angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame,
the baptism of the heaven-descended dove,
my heart an altar and your love the flame. Tune Title: MORECAMBE

of vineyard, flock, and field
to God, the giver of all good,
the source of bounteous yield,
so we today our first-fruits bring,
the wealth of this good land:
of farm and market, shop and home,
of mind and heart and hand.
2 A world in need now summons us
to labour, love, and give;
to make our life an offering
to God that all may live.
The church of Christ is calling us
to make the dream come true:
a world redeemed, by Christ-like love,
all life in Christ made new.
3 With gratitude and humble trust
we bring our best to you,
not just to serve your cause,
but share your love with neighbours too.
O God, who gave yourself to us
in Jesus Christ, your son,
help us to give ourselves each day
until life's work is done. Languages: English Tune Title: FOREST GREEN

There's a wideness in God's mercy
Author: F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: Common Praise #598a (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Proper 26 Year B Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy
like the wideness of the sea;
there's a kindness in his justice
which is more than liberty.
2 There is no place where earth's sorrows
are more felt than up in heaven;
there is no place where earth's failings
have such kindly judgement given.
3 For the love of God is broader
than the measure of man's mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 But we make his love too narrow
by false limits of our own;
and we magnify his strictness
with a zeal he will not own.
5 There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that has been shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the Head.
6 There is grace enough for thousands
of new worlds as great as this;
there is room for fresh creations
in that upper home of bliss.
Descant:
If our love were but more simple,
we should take him at his word;
and our lives would be all gladness
in the joy of Christ our Lord. Scripture: Ephesians 1:7 Languages: English Tune Title: CORVEDALE

stirs on the earth and trembles in the air!
Is it the thunder of the Lord's appearing?
Is it the music of his people's prayer?
2 Surely he cometh, and a thousand voices
shout to the saints, and to the deaf are dumb;
surely he cometh, and the earth rejoices,
glad in his coming who hath sworn: I come!
3 This hath he done, and shall we not adore him?
This shall he do, and can we still despair?
come, let us quickly fling ourselves before him,
cast at his feet the burden of our care.
4 Yea through life, death, through sorrow and through sinning,
he shall suffice me, for he hath sufficed:
Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning,
Christ the beginning, for the end is Christ. Scripture: 1 Peter 5:7 Languages: English Tune Title: HIGHWOOD
