and trembling to its source return,
in humble prayer and fervent praise.

to work, and speak, and think for thee;
still let me guard the holy fire,
and still stir up thy gift in me,
4 ready for all thy perfect will,
my acts of faith and love repeat,
till death thy endless mercies seal,
and make the sacrifice complete.

To the name of our salvation
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 118 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:21 Lyrics: 1 To the name of our salvation
laud and honour let us pay,
which for many a generation
hid in God's foreknowledge lay,
but with holy exultation
we may sing aloud today.
2 Jesus is the name we treasure,
name beyond what words can tell,
name of gladness, name of pleasure,
ear and heart delighting well;
name of power beyond all measure,
saving us from sin and hell.
3 Jesus is the name exalted
over every other name;
in this name, whene'er assaulted
we can put our foes to shame:
strength to those who would have halted,
eyes to blind, and feet to lame.
4 Therefore we in love adoring
this most blessèd name revere,
Holy Jesus, thee imploring
so to write it in us here,
that hereafter, heavenward soaring,
we may sing with angels there. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Reign and Priesthood; Adoration Of Jesus; Conflict; Jesus Name Used With Tune: TANTUM ERGO SACRAMENTUM Text Sources: 15th century; translated Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1861

The Effusion of the Spirit; Or, The Success of the Gospel
Appears in 105 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:1 First Line: Great was the Day, the Joy was great Lyrics: 1 Great was the day, the Joy was great
When the divine Disciples met;
Whilst on their Heads the Spirit came,
And sat like Tongues of cloven Flame.
2 What Gifts, what Miracles he gave!
And Pow'r to kill, and Pow'r to save!
Furnish'd their Tongues with wond'rous Words,
Instead of Shields, and Spears, and swords.
3 Thus arm'd, he sent the Champions forth,
From East to West, from South to North;
Go, and assert your Saviour's Cause:
Go, spread the Myst'ry of his Cross.
4 These Weapons of the holy War,
Of what Almighty Force they are,
To make our stubborn Passions bow,
And lay the proudest Rebel low!
5 Nations, the Learned and the Rude,
Are by these Heav'nly Arms subdu'd;
While Satan rages at his Loss,
And hates the Doctrine of the Cross.
6 Great King of Grace! my Heart subdue;
I would be led in Triumph too,
A willing Captive to my Lord,
And sing the Vict'ries of his Word. Topics: Effusion of the Spirit
