Be Now Imitators of Your Lord

Author: Susan Peterson Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Be now imitators of your Lord; You’re His children through His love outpoured. Let love show now in all you do, As Christ loved and gave Himself for you, As a sacrifice to God. 2. All impurity put far away. Don’t be greedy; watch the things you say. These aren’t proper for God’s dear children; You will never gain the wealth of Heaven, In the kingdom of Christ and God. 3. Don’t be taken in by empty words; Those who disobey, God’s wrath incur. You were darkness, but now you’re light; Let your life be good and true and right, And find out what pleases God. 4. Stay away from fruitless deeds, Done in secret out of lust and greed. Let Christ’s light shine on all that’s dark, And expose what’s missed God’s mark. Bring to light every sinful act. 5. So be careful in the things you do; Act with wisdom in whate’er you pursue. Make the most of every hour; Don’t let evil exercise its power. Be not foolish, but know God’s will. 6. Let the Spirit now your life control, And let psalms and hymns flow from your soul. In your heart, speak to God and sing, Giving thanks for everything, In the name of Jesus Christ. Used With Tune: HENDON

Brother, on the troubled deep

Author: Anon. Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Brother, on the troubled deep, When the wild winds round you sweep, And the waves in madness leap, Listen, 'tis the voice that said,-- It is I, be not afraid. 2 When the storm has died away, And the sun, with cheering ray, Now illumes your prosperous way, Trust, oh, trust in him who said,-- It is I, be not afraid. 3 Brother, far away from home, Restless as the wave's light foam, When temptations round you come, Pray for strength to him who said,-- It is I, be not afraid. 4 Brother, when death draweth near, And your spirit shrinks in fear From its portals damp and drear, Trust your soul to him who said,-- It is I, be not afraid. Topics: Spiritual Songs; It is I, be not Afraid

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Bless, O Lord, the opening year, To each soul assembled here: Clothe Thy Word with power divine, Make us willing to be Thine. 2 Shepherd of Thy blood-bought sheep! Teach the stony heart to weep; Let the blind have eyes to see, See themselves, and look on Thee! 3 Let the minds of all our youth Feel the force of sacred truth; While the Gospel call they hear, May they learn to love and fear. 4 Show them what their ways have been, Show the desert of their sin; Then Thy dying love reveal, This shall melt a heart of steel. 5 Where Thou hast Thy work begun, Give new strength the race to run; Scatter darkness, doubts and fears, Wipe away the mourners’ tears. 6 Bless us all both old and young; Call forth praise from every tongue: Let the whole assembly prove All Thy power, and all Thy love.
