Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity
From Hymns of Love and Praise (1866)
God of God! and Light of Light!
Very God of Very God I
Depth of Depth! and Height of Height!
Spread we all Thy praise abroad:
Homage of our hearts receive!
Cleanse our souls, and soothe our grief.
Saviour! we in Thee believe!
Help, help our unbelief!
In Thy Godhead stoopt so low,
In Thy manhood raised so high.
In that balm for human woe
Which their union doth supply:
In that cup Thou didst receive.
Draining its last dregs of grief.
Saviour! we in these believe!
Help, O help our unbelief!
In that glorious Life of Thine
Which, to every loving heart,
Is the hidden Life Divine,
Fashioning to what Thou art:
In the woof which it doth weave
Through the warp of human grief.
Saviour! we in these believe!
Help, help our unbelief!
In the Spirit Thou didst send.
In the oneness He doth make
Between sinners, and the Friend
Reconciled for Thy dear sake;
In the Peace which Thou didst leave
To Thy children in their grief:
Saviour! we in these believe!
Help, O help our unbelief!
