Praise for Redemption
Meter: Irregular Appears in 388 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:68 First Line: Now begin the heav'nly theme Lyrics: 1 Now begin the heav'nly theme,

Beaming in the Saviour's face,
As to Canaan on ye move,
Praise and bless redeeming love.
3 Mourning souls, dry up your tears,
Banish all your guilty fears;
So your guilt and curse remove,
Cancell'd by redeeming love.

Willing slaves of death and sin,
Now from bliss no longer rove,
Stop and taste redeeming love.

Welcome to his sacred rest;
Nothing brought him from above,
Nothing but redeeming love.
6 When his spirit leads us home,
When we to his glory come,
We shall all the fulness prove,
Of our Lord's redeeming love.
7 He subdu'd th'infernal pow'rs,
Those tremendous foes of ours,
From their cursed empire drove;
Mighty in redeeming love.

Spirit of God, descend upon my heart
Author: George Croly (1780-1860) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:11 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 me 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:
oh, let me seek thee, and oh, 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. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Penitence; The Holy Spirit The Coming of the Spirit; Holy Spirit illunination of; Patience; Prayer Used With Tune: SONG 22

make straight the way for God within,
and so prepare to be the home
where such a mighty guest may come.

our refuge and our great reward;

like flowers that wither and decay.

and make the fallen sinner stand;
shine out, and let your light restore
earth's own true loveliness once more.
5 To you, O Christ, all praises be,
whose advent set your people free;

whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
haste, haste to bring him laud,
the babe, the son of Mary!
2 Why lies he in such mean estate
where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear; for sinners here
the silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear, shall pierce him through;
the cross be borne for me, for you.
Hail, hail, the Word made flesh,
the babe, the son of Mary!
3 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh;
come, one and all, to own him.
The King of kings salvation brings;
let loving hearts enthrone him.
Raise, raise the song on high.
The virgin sings her lullaby.

the babe, the son of Mary! Topics: Christian Year Nativity/Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany; Jesus Christ Birth Used With Tune: GREENSLEEVES

By the angel Gabriel.

When the cup of human woe
First He tasted here below.

Under all the mighty heaven
Whereby man, to sin enslaved,
Bursts his fetters and is saved.

Helpless, O our God, to Thee.
