Make Me a Captive, Lord

Author: George Matheson Hymnal: The Hymnbook #308 (1955) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord, And then I shall be free; Force me to render up my sword, And I shall conqueror be. 2 I sink in life's alarms When by myself I stand; Imprison me within Thine arms, And strong shall be my hand. 3 My heart is weak and poor Until it master find; It has no spring of action sure— It varies with the wind. 4 It cannot freely move Till Thou hast wrought its chain; Enslave it with Thy matchless love, And deathless it shall reign. 5 My will is not my own Till Thou hast made it Thine; If it would reach a monarch's throne, It must its crown resign; 6 It only stands unbent Amid the clashing strife, When on Thy bosom it has leant, And found in Thee its life. Amen. Topics: Christ Master; Christ Presence; Commitment; God Will, Doing His; Life in Christ Dedication and Consecration Scripture: John 15:5 Tune Title: ST. BRIDE

Make Me a Captive, Lord

Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #326 (1957) Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord, And then I shall be free; Force me to render up my sword, And I shall conqueror be; I sink in life's alarms When by myself I stand; Imprison me within Thine arms, And strong shall be my hand. 2 My heart is weak and poor Until it master find; It has no spring of action sure-- It varies with the wind; It cannot freely move Till Thou hast wrought its chain; Enslave it with Thy matchless love, And deathless it shall reign. 3 My pow'r is faint and low Till I have learned to serve; It wants the needed fire to glow, It wants the breeze to nerve; It cannot drive the world Until itself be driv'n; Its flag can only be unfurled When Thou shalt breathe from heav'n. 4 My will is not my own Till Thou hast made it Thine; If it would reach a monarch's throne It must its crown resign; It only stands unbent, Amid the clashing strife, When on Thy bosom it has leaned, And found in Thee its life.

Make Me a Captive, Lord

Author: George Matheson Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #421 (1989) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free. Force me to render up my sword, and I shall conqueror be. I sink in life's alarms when by myself I stand; imprison me within thine arms, and strong shall be my hand. 2. My heart is weak and poor until it master find; it has no spring of action sure, it varies with the wind. It cannot freely move till thou hast wrought its chain; enslave it with thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign. 3. My power is faint and low till I have learned to serve; it lacks the needed fire to glow, it lacks the breeze to nerve. It cannot drive the world until itself be driven; its flag can only be unfurled when thou shalt breathe from heaven. 4. My will is not my own till thou hast made it thine; if it would reach a monarch's throne, it must its crown resign. It only stands unbent amid the clashing strife, when on thy bosom it has leant, and found in thee its life.
