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.

teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;

one holy passion filling all my frame;
the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove,
my heart an altar, and thy love the flame. Topics: Aspiration; Confession; Consecration; Doubts; Holy Spirit Lifegiver; Holy Spirit renewing; Love Our Love of God; Prayer Scripture: Matthew 7:7 Languages: English Tune Title: MORECAMBE

shine through the gloom and point me to the skies:
heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Topics: Eternal Life; Evening; Fears; God Changelessness; God Presence of Scripture: Job 14:1 Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

the lazy be warned, the timid take heart;
let those who are hurt never pay back with wrong,
but serve one another: together be strong!

in all things give thanks--let God hear your voice!
Alive to the Spirit, alert to the word,
test all things, and hold to what pleases the Lord.

preserve us from fault in body and soul;
our Lord Jesus Christ keep us firm in his grace
until at his coming we meet face to face.

should come in flesh as prophets long foretold,
or why the Shepherd longs to save the wanderers
and bring them back rejoicing to the fold.
But this I know, that he was born of Mary
when Bethlehem's manger was his only home,
and that he lived at Nazareth and labored,
and so the promised Savior of the world is come.
2 I cannot tell how silently he suffered
as with his peace he graced this place of tears,
or how his heart upon the cross was broken,
the crown of pain to three and thirty years.
But this I know, he heals the broken-hearted,
and stays our sin, and calms our lurking fear,
and lifts the burden from the heavy laden,
for still the suffering Savior of the world is here.
3 I cannot tell how he will win the nations,
how he will claim his earthly heritage,
how satisfy the needs and aspirations
of east and west, of sinner and of sage.
But this I know, all flesh shall see his glory,
and he shall reap the harvest he has sown,
and some glad day his sun shall shine in splendor,
when he, the risen Savior of the world, is known.
4 I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship
when at his bidding,every storm is stilled,
or who can say how great the jubilation
when all our hearts with love for him are filled.
But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture,
and countless voices then will join to sing,
and earth to heaven, and heaven to earth will answer:
