We Give You But Your Own

Author: William W. How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 498 hymnals Topics: Following Christ Lyrics: 1 We give you but your own, in any gifts we bring; all that we have is yours alone, a trust from you, our King. 2 May we your bounties thus as stewards true receive, and gladly, Lord, as you bless us, to you our first-fruits give. 3 To comfort and to bless, to find a balm for woe, to tend those lost in loneliness is angels' work below. 4 The captive to release, the lost to God to bring, to teach the way of life and peace - it is a Christ-like thing. 5 And we believe your word, though dim our faith may be. Whate'er we do for you, O Lord, we do it gratefully. Scripture: Genesis 1 Used With Tune: SCHUMANN

Behold a Stranger at the Door

Author: Joesph Grigg Appears in 625 hymnals Topics: Following Christ First Line: Behold a Stranger at the door! Lyrics: 1 Behold a Stranger at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Hath waited long, is waiting still; You treat no other friend so ill. 2 O lovely attitude! He stands With melting heart and laden hands; O matchless kindness! and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes. 3 Admit Him, for the human breast Ne'er entertained so kind a guest; No mortal tongue their joys can tell, With whom He condescends to dwell. 4 Yet know, nor of the terms complain, If Jesus comes, He comes to reign,-- To reign, and with no partial sway: Thoughts must be slain that disobey. 5 Sovereign of souls, Thou Prince of Peace, O may Thy gentle reign increase: Throw wide the door, each willing mind; And be His empire all mankind.

I lay my griefs on Jesus, My burdens and my cares; He from them all releases, He all my sorrows shares. 3 I long to be like Jesus, Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus, The Father's holy child. I long to be with Jesus, Amid the heavenly throng; To sing with saints His praises, To learn the angels' song. Amen. Used With Tune: CRUCIFIX
