25 b Pur er yet and pur God without a fear, Pa-tient-ly be - liev - ing He will make all clear. A-men. 2 Calmer yet and calmer, In the hour of pain, Surer yet and surer Peace at last to gain; Heart and will and mind. 3 Higher yet and higher Rising to the light; Where my soul may rest, 4 Swifter yet and swifter Ne'er can be expressed. JOHANN WOLFGANG VON Gorthe 233 BEECHER 8.7.8.7.D. 4 JOHN ZUNDEL, 1870 4 9,64 4 Love divine, all love ex - cell - ing, Joy of heav'n,to earth come down; Fix in us Thy hum- ble dwell-ing, All Thy faith-ful mer - cies crown: Jesus, Thou art all com-pas- sion, Pure,un-bound-ed love Thou art: Vis - it us with Thy sal va- tion, En-ter ev'ry trembling heart. A-men. 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into every troubled breast: Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find Thy promised rest: Come, Almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; 3 Finish then Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee: Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise. CHARLES WESLEY, 1747. 234 WATCHWORD (Forward) 6.5.6.5.12 1. HENRY SMART, 1872 2 Forward, when in childhood Climb the steps of grace; Gleams our Father's face. Climb from height to height, Blind, they grope for day; Pour upon the nations Wisdom's loving ray. Forward, out of error, Leave behind the night; Forward, through the darkness Forward, into light! 4 Glories upon glories Hath our God prepared, Ear hath never heard; Till our faith be sight. HENRY ALFORD, 1871 |
