Methodist-Hymns-065
1: O GOD of God, in whom combine,
The heights and depths of love divine,
With thankful hearts to Thee we sing;
To Thee our longing souls aspire,
In fervent flames of strong desire:
Come, and Thy sacred unction bring.
2: O powerful Love, to thee we bow;
Object of all our wishes Thou,
Our hearts are naked to Thine eye;
To Thee, who from the eternal throne
Camst emptied of Thy glory down,
For us to groan, to bleed, to die.
3: Grace we implore: when billows roll,
Grace is the anchor of the soul;
Grace every sickness knows to heal;
Grace can subdue each fond desire,
And patience in all pain inspire,
However rebellious nature swell.
4: Be heaven, e en now, our souls abode,
Hid be our life with Christ in God,
Our spirit, Lord, be one with Thine;
Let all our works in Thee be wrought,
And filled with Thee be all our thought,
Till in us Thy full likeness shine. Amen.
