Let angels to your songs give place, 3 And may we not, who still lay here, Though darkly through a glass we see, 4 But when we take the sacred book, 'Tis here the joyful day we view, When the poor Gentile with the Jew, Shall see his Saviour's face. 5 Then may all Adam's fallen race, To praise the Lamb, our soul's desire, HYMN 281. C. M. GOD moves in a myster'ous way, 2 Deep in unfathomable minds He treasures up his bright designs 3. Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take ; Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding ev'ry hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, ONCE more do we enjoy the sign, That we are sons of God, Partake the sacred bread and wine, 2 Now seal'd again by Jesus' love, 3 O happy meeting, heav'nly feast! 4 But O, the bless'd, transporting thought! Soon we shall rise above; And to the heav'nly table brought, There taste the feast of love. 5 With angels and bless'd spirits join Of goodness, truth, and love divine, THOU HYMN 283. C. M. great, all-knowing, present God, Where'er I stay or rove, I am surrounded still by thee, 2 When in the paths of vice I trod, 3 Still, Lord, thy hand my life defends; 4 Where'er I am, I am thy care, 5 My God, my Saviour, guides me still Daily may I perform his will, W HYMN 284. L. M. WHAT wonders hath Jehovah wrought, 2 The beams of love descend, and bring 3 Thy love exceeds our highest praise, 4 Dear Lord, had we ten thousand tongues, HYMN 285. C. M. DEAR Lord, how have thy creatures err❜d! Angels, by many, are preferr'd 2 Some call thee Prophet, some a Son, Some give thee honours, others none, 3 But, if a God allow'd to be, Not thee alone supreme, But partner of the Deity; And thus the dreamers dream. 4 But thou art God, and God alone, In thy Humanity; Before thee, Lord, no God was known, 5 Thy human nature is divine, Divine is human too ; Here God and man in one combine, And not three Gods, nor two. 6 Thee we adore, eternal Lord, Who art the Father, Spirit, Word, HYMN 286. C. M. OUR Jesus is both God and Man, 2 Why should we fear to say or sing, Our God is Man alone,* When to the heav'ns the sov'reign King 3 Angels behold him as he is, In human form divine, While wisdom, love, and endless bliss, * By man alone, understand that God is the only man, strictly speaking, as all mankind are men from him, and not in themselves. |
