Forgive My Foes? It Cannot Be

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forgive my foes? it cannot be: My foes with cordial love embrace? Fast bound in sin and misery, Unsaved, unchanged by hallowing grace, Throughout my fallen soul I feel With man this is impossible. 2 Great Searcher of the mazy heart, A thought from Thee I would not hide I cannot draw th'envenomed dart, Or quench this hell of wrath and pride. Jesus, till I Thy Spirit receive, Thou knowest, I never can forgive. 3 Come, Lord, and tame the tiger's force, Arrest the whirlwind in my will, Turn back the torrent's rapid course, And bid the headlong sun stand still, The rock dissolve, the mountain move, And melt my hatred into love. 4 Root out the wrath thou dost restrain; And when I have my Saviour's mind, I cannot render pain for pain, I cannot speak a word unkind, An angry thought I cannot know, Or count mine injurer my foe.

Lord, shall Thy children come to Thee?

Author: v 3 H. J. Buckoll; S. Hind Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, shall Thy children come to Thee? A boon of love divine we seek; Brought to Thine arms in infancy, Ere heart could feel or tongue could speak, Thy children pray for grace, that they May come themselves to Thee to-day. 2 Lord, shall we come, and come again, Oft as we see Thy table spread, And tokens of Thy dying pain, The wine poured out, the broken bread? Bless Thou, O Lord, Thy children's prayer, That they may come and find Thee there. 3 Lord, shall we come not thus alone At holy time or solemn rite, But every hour till life be flown, Through weal or woe, in gloom or light, Come to Thy throne of grace, that we In faith, hope, love, confirmed may be? 4 Lord, shall we come, come yet again? Thy children ask one blessing more: To come, not now alone, but then When life, and death, and time are o'er; Then, then to come, O Lord, and be Confirmed in heaven, confirmed by Thee.

Our Father dear, who art in heav'n

Author: Dr. Martin Luther; Richard Massie Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our Father dear, who art in heav'n, And hast to us commandment giv'n, That we should pray and call on Thee As members of one family, Grant that our prayers be not mere sound, But breathings from the heart's deep ground. 2 Thy name be hallowed! help us, Lord, To keep in purity Thy Word, That we may live as Christians ought, Holy in word, and deed, and thought; Keep us, O Lord, from all false lore, And those who err, to truth restore. 3 Thy kingdom come! O Lord, in power, Both at this time and evermore; And let the Holy Ghost be nigh, His gifts and graces to supply; Break Satan's power, defeat his rage, Preserve the Church Thine heritage. 4 Thy will be done, Lord God, in love, On earth, as 'tis in heaven above; Patience in tie of grief bestow, Obedience in all weal and woe; Curb flesh and blood, or any ill, That sets itself against Thy will. 5 Give us our daily bread this day, For needful things alone we pray; From war and strife be our defense, From famine and from pestilence; That we may live in godly peace, Free from all care and avarice. 6 Forgive our sins, the burden sore Remove, that it afflict no more, As we will also those forgive Who by offenses us may grieve. Make us delight in serving Thee In perfect love and unity. 7 Into temptation lead us not, When Satan doth against us plot; Upon the left hand and the right O help us valiantly to fight, Firm in the faith, a well-armed host, Through comfort of the Holy Ghost. 8 From evil, Lord, deliver us, The times and days are perilous; O save us from eternal death, And comfort us in our last breath; Grant us a blessed end, and take Our souls to Thee for Jesus' sake. 9 Amen, Amen: so shall it be! Confirm our faith continually, So that we firmly may believe What we here ask we shall receive, Since in Thy name, and at Thy Word, We pray to Thee. Amen, O Lord.

Thou Who the night in prayer didst spend

Author: Bp. C. Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou Who the night in prayer didst spend, And then Thy twelve apostles send; And bidd'st us pray the harvest's Lord To send forth sowers of Thy word, Hear, and Thy chosen servants bless With seven-fold gifts of holiness. 2 Oh, may Thy pastors faithful be, Not laboring for themselves, but Thee; Give grace to feed with wholesome food The sheep and lambs bought by Thy blood; To tend Thy flock, and thus to prove How dearly they the Shepherd love! 3 Oh, may Thy people faithful be, And in Thy pastors honor Thee, And with them work, and for them pray, And gladly Thee in them obey; Receive the prophet of the Lord, And gain the prophet's own reward! 4 So may we, when our work is done, Together stand before the throne; And joyful hearts and voices raise In one united song of praise, With all the bright celestial host, To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. Topics: Ember Days; The Clergy Used With Tune: [Thou Who the night in prayer didst spend]
