And now, O Father, mindful of the love

Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 92 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 9:14 Lyrics: 1 And now, O Father, mindful of the love that bought us, once for all, on Calvary's tree, and having with us him that pleads above, we here present, we here spread forth to thee that only offering perfect in thine eyes, the one true, pure, immortal sacrifice. 2 Look, Father, look on his anointed face, and only look on us as found in him; look not on our misusings of thy grace, our prayer so languid, and our faith so dim: for lo, between our sins and their reward we set the Passion of thy Son our Lord. *3 And then for those, our dearest and our best, by this prevailing presence we appeal: O fold them closer to thy mercy's breast, O do thine utmost for their souls' true weal; from tainting mischief keep them white and clear, and crown thy gifts with strength to persevere. 4 And so we come: O draw us to thy feet, most patient Saviour, who canst love us still; and by this food, so aweful and so sweet, deliver us from every touch of ill: in thine own service make us glad and free, and grant us never more to part with thee.

Bid my quiet spirit hear thy comfortable voice, never in the whirlwind found, or where earthquakes rock the place; still and silent is the sound, the whisper of thy grace. 2 From the world of sin and noise and hurry I withdraw. For the small and inward voice I wait, with humble awe. Silent am I now and still, dare not in thy presence move. To my waiting soul reveal the secret of thy love. 3 Thou hast undertook for me, for me to death wast sold; wisdom in a mystery of bleeding love unfold. Teach the lesson of the cross; let me die with thee to reign. All things let me count but loss so I may thee regain. 4 Lord, my time is in thy hand— my soul to thee convert. Thou canst make me understand, though I am slow of heart. Thine, in whom I love and move, thine the work, the praise is thine, thou art wisdom, pow’r, and love, and all thou art is mine.

Author: Gregory Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 9:12-14 Lyrics: 1 O CHRIST! our King, Creator, Lord! Saviour of all who trust thy word! To them that seek thee, ever near, Now to our praises bend thine ear. 2 In thy dear cross a grace is found-- It flows from every streaming wound-- Whose power our inbred sin controls, Breaks the firm bond and frees our souls! 3 Thou didst create the stars of night: Yet thou hast veiled in flesh thy light-- Hast deigned a mortal form to wear, A mortals painful lot to bear. 4 When thou didst hang upon the tree, The quaking earth acknowledged thee; When thou didst there yield up thy breath, The world grew dark as shades of death. 5 Now in the Father's glory high, Great Conqueror, never more to die, Us by thy mighty power defend, And reign through ages without end!
