ALL HEAV'N IN THEE
All Heav’n in Thee was commissioned in 2016 by Margaret Ecker in memory of her father, David Ecker. The words are from a poem by George Herbert (1593-1633) transcribed by John Wesley in his Collections of Psalms and Hymns, 1737.

How swiftly wafted in a Sigh
Thou god that hear'st the Prayer,
Do our Requests invade the Sky
And pierce thy bending Ear!
My Suit is made, my Prayer is o'er,
If I but lift my Eye;
Thou gracious Father, canst no more
Not hear, than thou canst die.
How shall we thy great Arm revere
Which gives this All to be,
Connects the Center with the Sphere
And spans Infinity?
Whate'er our ardent Souls require,
Whate'er we wish is there;
Thy Power exceeds our scant Desire
And blames our partial Prayer.
O! how unbounded is thy Love
Which when thou could'st not die,
Descending from thy Throne above
Put on mortality!
Thou leav'st thy Father's blissful Face
Our Guilt and Curse to assume,
To burst the Bars that stop'd thy Grace
And make thy Bounty room.
Then still let prayer with me remain,
This my Companion be:
So shall I all my wants obtain,
Obtain all Heav’n in thee!
