In love my soul would bow, My heart fulfil its vow, Some off'ring bring Thee now, Something for Thee. 2 O’er the blest mercy seat, Pleading for me, My feeble faith looks up, Jesus, to Thee. Help me the cross to bear, Thy wondrous love declare, Some song to raise or prayer, Something for Thee. 3 Give me a faithful heart, Likeness to Thee. That each departing day Henceforth may see Some work of love begun, Some deed of kindness done, Some wand'rer sought and won, Something for Thee. 4 All that I am and have, Thy gifts so free, In joy, in grief, through life, O Lord, for Thee! And when Thy face I see, My ransomed soul shall be Thro' all eternity, Something for Thee. Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) Consecration Used With Tune: WINTERTON

We Sing the Glorious Conquest

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Acts 9:1-7 Lyrics: 1 We sing the glorious conquest before Damascus gate, when Saul, the church's spoiler, came breathing threats and hate; the rav'ning wolf rushed forward full early to the prey; but lo! the Shepherd met him, and bound him fast today. 2 O glory most excelling that smote across his path! O light that pierced and blinded the zealot in his wrath! O voice that spake unto him the calm, reproving word! O love that sought and held him the bondman of his Lord! 3 O Wisdom ord'ring all things in order strong and sweet, what nobler spoil was ever cast at the victor's feet? What wiser master-builder e'er wrought at your employ than he, till now so furious your building to destroy? 4 Lord, teach your church the lesson, still in her darkest hour of weakness and of danger, to trust your hidden pow'r: your grace by ways mysterious the wrath of man can bind, and in your boldest foeman your chosen saint can find.

Before thy pure descerning eye, Lord, what a filthy wretch as I! 5 Shall vengeance sill my soul pursue, Death and destruction are my due; Yet mercy can my guilt forgive, And bid a dying sinner live. 6 Does not thy sacred word proclaim Salvation free in Jesu's name? To him I look and humbly cry, "O save a wretch condemn'd to die!" Topics: The Christian; Christian Awakened; Spiritual Conviction; What must I do to be saved?

Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: Acts 9:5 Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing. The cross stands empty to the sky. Let streets and homes with praises ring. Love, drowned in death, shall never die. 2 Christ is alive! No longer bound to distant years in Palestine, but saving, healing, here and now, and touching every place and time. 3 In every insult, rift, and war, where colour, scorn, or wealth divide, Christ suffers still, yet loves the more, and lives, where even hope has died. 4 Women and men, in age and youth, can feel the Spirit, hear the call, and find the way, the life, the truth, revealed in Jesus, freed for all. 5 Christ is alive, and comes to bring good news to this and every age, till earth and sky and ocean ring with joy, with justice, love, and praise.

Power of Divine Love

Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Acts 9:6 First Line: If God had bid his thunders roll Lyrics: 1 If GOD had bid his thunder roll, And lightnings flash, to blast my soul, I still had stubborn been: But mercy has my heart subdu'd, A bleeding Saviour I have view'd, And now I hate my sin. 2 Now, Lord, I would be thine alone, Come take possession of thine own, For thou hast set me free; Releas'd from Satan's hard command, See all my pow'rs in waiting stand, To be employ'd by thee. 3 My will conform'd to thine would move, On thee my hope, desire, and love, In fix'd attention join; My hands, my eyes, my ears, my tongue, Have Satan's servants been too long, But now they shall be thine. 4 And can I be the very same, Who lately durst blaspheme thy name, And on thy gospel tread? Surely each one who hears my case, Will praise thee, and confess thy grace Invincible indeed! Topics: Love Divine
