79 O Love of God, How Strong and True!

The Hymn of Response is O Love of God, How Strong and True, Eternal, and yet ever new! by Horatius Bonar, the author of about 600 hymns! His works are subjective and appealing; his purpose was to fill them with the love and light of Christ. He wrote a number of hymns for the revivals of Moody and Sankey. Three other hymns by Bonar are in our hymnal.

The tune is OMBERSLEY, composed in 1872 by William Gladstone, the eldest son of the famous British Prime Minister. The younger Gladstone followed his father into politics, where his record was indifferent; his hymn-writing on the other hand, will endure.

I will bless Yahweh at all times, 
His praise continually on my lips. 
I will praise Yahweh from my heart; 
let the humble hear and rejoice.

Proclaim with me the greatness of Yahweh, 
let us acclaim His name together. 
I seek Yahweh and he answers me, 
frees me from my fears.

Fix your gaze on Yahweh 
and your face will grow bright, 
You will not hang your head in shame; 

For the angel of Yahweh 
encamps around those who fear Him, 
and delivers them. 

--Psalm 34:1-7
