The Otterbein Hymnal: For Use in Public and Social Worship
Lorenz, Edmund S. (Edmund Simon)
Church of the United Brethren in Christ (New constitution) -- Hymns; Hymns, English
3 Infinite strength and equal skill
Shine through the worlds abroad;
Our souls with vast amazement fill,
And speak the builder--God.
4 But the sweet beauties of thy grace
Our softer passions move;
Pity divine, in Jesus' face,
We see, adore, and love.
Isaac Watts, 1705.
90 Azmon. C.M.
_The Trinity._ (388)
Hail! holy, holy, holy, Lord,
Whom One in Three we know;
By all thy heavenly host adored,
By all thy Church below.
2 One undivided Trinity
With triumph we proclaim;
The universe is full of thee,
And speaks thy glorious name.
3 Thee, holy Father, we confess;
Thee, holy Son, adore;
And thee, the Holy Ghost, we bless,
And worship evermore.
4 Hail! holy, holy, holy Lord,
Our heavenly song shall be
Supreme, Essential One, adored
In co-eternal Thee!
C. Wesley, 1767.
91 Azmon. C.M.
_God is Love._ (183)
Come, ye that know and fear the Lord,
And lift your souls above;
Let every heart and voice accord,
To sing that--God is love.
2 This precious truth his word declares,
And all his mercies prove;
Jesus, the Gift of gifts, appears,
To show that--God is love.
3 Behold his patience lengthened out
To those who from him rove,
And calls effectual reach their hearts,
To teach them--God is love.
4 The work begun is carried on
By power from heaven above;
And every step from first to last,
Declares that--God is love.
George Burder, 1784.
92 Azmon. C.M.
_God's Constant Goodness._ (179)
Jehovah God! thy gracious power
On every hand we see;
Oh, may the blessings of each hour
Lead all our thoughts to thee.
2 Thy power is in the ocean deeps,
And reaches to the skies;
Thine eye of mercy never sleeps,
Thy goodness never dies.
3 In all the varying scenes of time,
On thee our hopes depend;
In every age, in every clime,
Our Father and our Friend.
John Thompson, 1810
93 God is Love. P.M.
_Praise for God's Love._
Come, let us all unite to sing,
God is love;
Let heav'n and earth their praises bring,
God is love;
Let every soul from sin awake,
Each in his heart sweet music make,
And sing with us for Jesus' sake,
For God is love.
Ref.--God is love,
God is love.
Come, let us all unite to sing
That God is love.
2 Oh, tell us to earth's remotest bound,
God is love;
In Christ we have redemption found,
God is love;
His blood has washed our sins away,
His Spirit turned our night to day,
And now we can rejoice to say
That God is love.
3 How happy is our portion here,
God is love;
His promises our spirits cheer,
God is love;
He is our sun and shield by day,
Our help, our hope, our strength, and stay;
He will be with us all the way;
Our God is love.
Anon.
