O thou, who hast redeemed of old
Author: C. Wesley Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:16 Lyrics: 1 O thou, who hast redeemed of old,
And bidd'st me of thy strength lay hold,
And be at peace with thee,
Help me thy benefits to own,
And hear me tell what thou hast done,
O dying Lamb! for me.
2 Love, only love, thy heart inclined,
And brought thee, Saviour of mankind,
Down from thy throne above;
Love made my God a Man of grief,
Distressed thee sore for my relief:
Oh, mystery of love!
3 As thou hast loved and died for me
So grant me, Saviour, love to thee,
And gladly I resign
Whate'er I have, whate'er I am:
My life be all with thine the same,
And all thy death be mine. Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings; The Mystery of Christ's Love
O thou, who hast redeemed of old
Forgive Us, Lord, for Shallow Thankfulness
Author: William W. Reid, Sr., 1890-1983, alt. Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:16-17 Lyrics: 1 Forgive us, Lord, for shallow thankfulness,
for dull content with warmth and sheltered care,
for songs of praise for worldly wealthiness,
while of your richer gifts we're unaware:
2 Teach us to thank you, Lord, for love and grace,
for life and vision, for a purpose clear,
for Christ, your Son, and for each human face
that shows your message ever new and near.
3 Forgive us, Lord, for selfish thanks and praise,
for words that speak at variance with deeds;
forgive our thanks for walking pleasant ways,
unmindful of a broken brother's needs:
4 Teach us, O Lord, true thankfulness divine,
that gives as Christ gave, never counting cost,
that knows no barrier of "yours" and "mine,"
assured that only what's withheld is lost.
5 Forgive us, Lord, for feast that knows not fast,
for joy in things that meanwhile starve the soul,
for walls and wars that hide Your mercies vast
and blur our vision of the Kingdom goal:
6 Open our eyes to see your love's intent,
to know with minds and hearts its depth and height;
let thankful days in loving labor spent
reflect the truly Christlike life and light.

He Wants His Way in Thee
Author: Charles W. Naylor Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:24 First Line: God has sent the Holy Spirit Refrain First Line: Yield unto the Holy Spirit Lyrics: 1. God has sent the Holy Spirit
To our hearts an honored guest,
To deliver us from evil,
And to bring us peace and rest;
He has come to work within us
Heaven’s purposes so blest:
He wants His way in thee.
Refrain:
Yield unto the Holy Spirit,
Let Him have His way in thee;
Be thou ready to obey Him,
He leads to victory.
2. Let the Spirit do the planning,
Point the way thy feet shall go;
Greater than thine own His wisdom,
He the will of God doth know;
Better, wiser than thy choosing
Is the way that He will show:
He wants His way in thee.
3. He doth sometimes work in silence,
When thou dost not know at all;
He doth sometimes speak so softly
Thou must listen for His call;
But if thou wilt trust Him fully,
He will be thine all in all:
He wants His way in thee.
4. All thyself to Him surrender,
As He pleases let Him do;
In the paths He leadeth, follow,
Whether they be old or new;
When the tasks seem hard before thee,
He with power will endue:
He wants His way in thee. Used With Tune: [God has sent the Holy Spirit]

you have spoken– we rejoice:
words of love and life and freedom–
help us make their truth our choice!
Now in holy celebration
for your Word we worship you;
spoken, written, known in Jesus,
ours today to prove anew.
2 May we hear with understanding,
by your Spirit taught and led;
may the springs of all our being
by your Living Word be fed;
may our hearts accept with meekness
all the grace your light makes known;
may obedience mark our footsteps
till we make each word our own!
3 You have spoken– yours the fullness,
ours the wealth of this your Word:
debtors, then, as living letters
we must make your Gospel heard!
By your Spirit’s power transform us;
shed your saving Light abroad
till our lives by love in action
show our world the truth of God!
