Spirit of God, descend upon my heart

Author: Rev. George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 344 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart; Wean it from earth; through all its pulses move; Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art, And make me love Thee as I ought to love. 2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies, No sudden rending of the veil of clay, No angel visitant, no opening skies; But take the dimness of my soul away. 3 Hast Thou not bid us love Thee, God and King? All, all Thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind; I see Thy cross— there teach my heart to cling: O let me seek Thee, and O let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh; Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love, One holy passion filling all my frame; The baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame. Amen. Topics: The Holy Spirit; Aspiration; Education; Holy Spirit, The; Inner Life, The; Love and Communion; Worship Used With Tune: MORECAMBE

There is a fountain filled with blood

Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,496 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Emmanuel's veins; And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, as vile as he, Wash all my sins away, Wash all my sins a way. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved, to sin no more, Be saved, to sin no more. 4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die, And shall be till I die. 5 When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave, Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save, I'll sing Thy power to save.

We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen

Author: Anna B. Warner Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 275 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen Across this little landscape of our life; We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen For the last weariness, the final strife. 2 We would see Jesus, the great Rock Foundation Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace: Nor life nor death, with all their agitation, Can thence remove us, if we see His face. 3 We would see Jesus; sense is all too blinding, And heaven appears too dim, too far away; We would see Thee, to gain a sweet reminding That Thou hast promised our great debt to pay. 4 We would see Jesus: this is all we’re needing; Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight; We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading; Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night.

When, His salvation bringing

Author: Rev. John King Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 421 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, His salvation bringing, To Zion Jesus came, The children all stood singing Hosanna to His Name; Nor did their zeal offend Him, But, as He rode along, He let them still attend Him, · And smiled to hear their song. 2 And since the Lord retaineth His love for children still, Though now as King He reigneth On Zion's heavenly hill, We'll flock around His banner Who sits upon His throne, And cry aloud, "Hosanna To David's royal Son!" 3 For should we fail proclaiming Our great Redeemer's praise, The stones, our silence shaming, Would their hosannas raise. But shall we only render The tribute of our words? No; while our hearts are tender, They, too, shall be the Lord's. Amen.

Parker Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4 Appears in 119 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Master, no offering Costly and sweet, May we, like Magdalene, Lay at Thy feet; Yet may love's incense rise, Sweeter than sacrifice, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. 2 Daily our lives would show Weakness made strong, Toilsome and gloomy ways Brightened with song; Some deeds of kindness done, Some souls by patience won, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. 3 Some word of hope for hearts Burdened with fears, Some balm of peace for eyes Blinded with tears, Some dews of mercy shed, Some wayward footsteps led, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. 4 Thus, in Thy service, Lord, Till eventide Closes the day of life, May we abide! And when earth's labors cease, Bid us depart in peace, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. Amen.
