Acts 1:3

• [Act 1:3] Forty Days Thy Seer Of Old

  Forty days Thy seer of old Communed with Thee, O Most High; Fain Thy glories to behold And Thy glory passing by. In the rocky cleft he bowed; Thou, as mortal gaze might bear, Part revealed and part in cloud, Didst Thy secret Name declare. Forth days of Easter-tide Thou didst commune with Thine own; Now by glimpses, Lord, descried, Handled now and proved and known; Known, most Merciful, yet veiled; Else before the awful sight Surely heart and flesh had failed, Smitten with exceeding light. Risen Master, fain would we, Sharing those unearthly days, Morn and eve, on shore and sea, Watch Thy movements, mark Thy ways; Catch by faith each glad surprise Of Thy footstep drawing nigh, Hear Thy sudden greeting rise— “Peace be to you! It is I”; Secrets of Thy kingdom learn, Read the visions open spread, Feel Thy Word within us burn, Know Thee in the broken bread. So Thy glory’s skirts beside Gently led from grace to grace, We Thy coming may abide, And adore Thee face to face.

Acts 14:3

• [Act 14:3] Book Of Grace And Book Of Glory

  Book of grace and book of glory, Gift of God to age and youth, Wondrous is thy sacred story, Bright, bright with truth; Wondrous is thy sacred story, Bright, bright with truth. Book of love in accents tender, Speaking unto such as we; May it lead us, Lord, to render All, all to Thee; May it lead us, Lord, to render All, all to Thee. Book of hope! the spirit, sighing, Sweetest comfort finds in thee, As it hears the Savior crying, “Come, come to Me!” As it hears the Savior crying, “Come, come to Me!” Book of life! when we reposing, Bid farewell to friends we love, Give us, for the life then closing, Life, life above; Give us, for the life then closing, Life, life above.
