Bridges (1844-1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Appears in 73 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 8 The Fruit of the Spirit Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded, all my trust he shall renew; he, my guide through changing order, only good and only true. God unknown, he alone, calls my heart to be his own. 2 Human pride and earthly glory, sword and crown betray his trust; what with care and toil we fashion, tower and temple, fall to dust; but God's power hour by hour, is my temple and my tower. 3 Day by day our mighty giver grants to us his gifts of love; in his will our souls find pleasure, leading to our home above: Love shall stand at his hand, joy shall wait for his command. 4 Still from earth to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done; high above all praises praising for the gift of Christ his Son: Hear Christ's call one and all — we who follow shall not fall.

He lives in us, the Christ of God

Author: Michael Perry (born 1942) Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 8 The Fruit of the Spirit Lyrics: 1 He lives in us, the Christ of God, his Spirit joins with ours; he brings to us the Father's grace with powers beyond our powers. And if enticing sin grows strong, when human nature fails, God's Spirit in our inner self fights with us, and prevails. 3 Our pangs of guilt and fears of death are Satan's stratagems — by Jesus Christ who died for us God pardons; who condemns? And when we cannot feel our faith, nor bring ourselves to pray, the Spirit pleads with God for us in words we could not say. 3 God gave his Son to save us all — no other love like this! then shall he ever turn away from those he marks as his? And God has raised him from the grave, in this we stand assured; so none can tear us from his love in Jesus Christ our Lord. Scripture: Romans 8 Used With Tune: SOUTHWELL (IRONS)

Its just commands rejoice the heart; its truth gives light unto the eyes. Forever shall this law endure: unblemished, righteous, true, complete. No gold we ever found so fine, no honey in the comb more sweet. 3 God’s servant may I ever be: this world my joy, that word my guide.
