Now to be thine, yea, thine alone, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 6 Just as I am of that free love the breadth, length, depth and height to prove, here for a season, then above, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

O for a Closer Walk with God

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,396 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God, a calm and heav'nly frame, a light to shine upon the road that leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew when first I sought the Lord? Where is the soul refreshing view of Jesus and His Word? 3 What peaceful hours I then enjoyed! How sweet their mem'ry still! But they have left an aching void the world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy Dove, return, sweet messenger of rest; I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, and drove Thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, whate'er that idol be, help me to tear it from Thy throne and worship only Thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, calm and serene my frame; so purer light shall mark the road that leads me to the Lamb.

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,907 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heav'n to earth come down, fix in us Thy humble dwelling; all Thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion; pure, unbounded love Thou art; visit us with Thy salvation; enter ev'ry trembling heart. 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit into ev'ry troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit; let us find the promised rest. Take away the love of sinning; Alpha and Omega be; end of faith, as its beginning: set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty, to deliver; let us all Thy life receive; suddenly return and never, nevermore Thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, serve Thee as Thy hosts above, pray and praise Thee without ceasing, glory in Thy perfect love. 4 Finish then Thy new creation; pure and spotless let us be. Let us see Thy great salvation perfectly restored in Thee. Changed from glory into glory, till in heav'n we take our place, till we cast our crowns before Thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,011 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, a foll'wer of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own His cause or blush to speak His Name? 2 Must I be carried to the skies on flow'ry beds of ease, while others fought to win the prize and sailed through bloody seas? 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace to help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign; increase my courage, Lord; I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, supported by Thy Word. 5 Thy saints in all this glorious war shall conquer, though they die; they see the triumph from afar by faith's discerning eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, and all Thine armies shine in robes of vict'ry through the skies, the glory shall be Thine.

From strength to strength go on, wrestle and fight and pray; tread all the pow'rs of darkness down and win the well-fought day. 3 Leave no unguarded place, no weakness of the soul; take ev'ry virtue, ev'ry grace, and fortify the whole. That, having all things done and all your conflicts past, ye may o'ercome through Christ alone and stand complete at last. Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
