O Lord, Thou Hast Ascended
Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4:8 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thou hast ascended on high in might to reign;
captivity thou leadest a captive in thy train.
Rich gifts to thee are offered by men who did rebel,
who pray that now Jehovah, their God, with them may dwell.
2 Blest be the Lord who daily our heavy burden bears,
the God of our salvation, who for his people cares.
Our God is near to help us, our God is strong to save;
the Lord alone is able to ransom from the grave.
3 Sing unto God, ye nations, ye kingdoms of the earth;
Sing unto God, all people, and praise his matchless worth.
He rides in royal triumph upon the heav'ns abroad;
he speaks, the mountains tremble before the voice of God.
4 All glory, might, and honor ascribe to God on high;
his arm protects his people who on his pow'r rely.
Forth from thy holy dwelling thine awful glories shine;
thou strengthenest thy people; unending praise be thine.

“Christ hath triumphed, Jesus liveth!”

now doth his presence still all strife
through his triumph; Jesus reigneth!

set heart and will on things above,
that we conquer through thy triumph,
grant grace sufficient for life’s day,
that by our lives we ever say,
“Christ hath triumphed, and he liveth!”
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

and with the heavenly blessed sing,
“Christ hath triumphed! hallelujah!”

thine the glory never ending!

Stay, Master, Stay
Author: Samuel Greg, 1804-1876 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4:1 First Line: Stay, Master, stay upon this heavenly hill Lyrics: 1 Stay, Master, stay upon this heavenly hill;
A little longer, let us linger still;
With all the mighty ones of old beside,
Near to God’s holy presence still abide;
Before the throne of light we trembling stand,
And catch a glimpse into the spirit land.
2 Stay, Master, stay! we breathe a purer air;
This life is not the life that waits us there:
Thoughts, feelings, flashes, glimpses come and go;
We cannot speak them, nay, we do not know;
Wrapt in this cloud of light we seem to be
The things we fain would grow eternally.
3 "No!" saith the Lord, "the hour is past," we go;
Our home, our life, our duties lie below.
While here we kneel upon the mount of prayer,
The plough lies waiting in the furrow there!
Here we sought God that we might know His will;
There we must do it, serve Him, seek Him still.
4 If man aspires to reach the throne of God,
O’er the dull plains of earth must lie the road:
He who best does his lowly duty here,
Shall mount the highest in a nobler sphere:
At God’s own feet our spirits seek their rest,
And he is nearest Him who serves Him best. Topics: Jesus Christ Life and Ministry; Jesus Life and Ministry Used With Tune: YORKSHIRE

For Your Gift of God the Spirit
Author: Margaret Clarkson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4 Lyrics: 1 For your gift of God the Spirit,
power to make our lives anew,
pledge of life and hope of glory,
Savior, we would worship you.
Crowning gift of resurrection
sent from your ascended throne,
fullness of the very Godhead,
come to make your life our own.
2 He who in creation's dawning
brooded on the lifeless deep,
still across our nature's darkness
moves to wake our souls from sleep,
moves to stir, to draw, to quicken,
thrusts us through with sense of sin;
brings to birth and seals and fills us
saving Advocate within.
3 He, himself the living Author,
wakes to life the sacred Word,
reads with us its holy pages
and reveals our risen Lord.
He it is who works within us,
teaching rebel hearts to pray,
he whose holy intercessions
rise for us both night and day.
4 He, the mighty God, indwells us;
his to strengthen, help, empower;
his to overcome the tempter
ours to call in danger's hour.
In his strength we dare to battle
all the raging hosts of sin,
and by him alone we conquer
foes without and foes within.
5 Father, grant your Holy Spirit
in our hearts may rule today,
grieved not, quenched not, but unhindered,
work in us his sovereign way.
Fill us with your holy fullness,
God the Father, Spirit, Son;
in us, through us, then, forever,
shall your perfect will be done.

Forgive, O Lord, Our Severing Ways
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4:4-6 Lyrics: 1 Forgive, O Lord, our severing ways,
The rival altars that we raise,
The wrangling tongues that mar Thy praise.
2 Thy grace impart; in time to be
Shall one great temple rise to Thee—
One Church for all humanity.
3 White flowers of love its walls shall climb,
Soft bells of peace shall ring its chime,
Its days shall all be holy time.
4 A sweeter song shall then be heard,
Confessing, in a world's accord,
The inward Christ, the living Word.
5 That song shall swell from shore to shore,
One hope, one faith, one love restore
The seamless robe that Jesus wore.
Amen. Topics: Church, The Church Triumphant; Fellowship; Penitence; Unity; Church, The Christian Fellowship Used With Tune: O MENSCH SIEH
