Saviour! Thy Dying Love
Author: Sylvanus D. Phelps Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 574 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Stewardship Lyrics: 1 Saviour! Thy dying love
Thou gavest me,
Nor should I aught withhold,
Dear Lord, from Thee:
In love my soul would bow,
My heart fulfill its vow,
Some offering bring Thee now,
Something for Thee.
2 At the blest mercy seat,
Pleading for me,
My feeble faith looks up,
Jesus, to Thee;
Help me the cross to bear,
Thy wondrous love declare,
Some song to raise, or prayer,
Something for Thee.
3 Give me a faithful heart,
Guided by Thee,
That each departing day
Henceforth may see
Some work of love begun,
Some deed of kindness done,
Some wanderer sought and won,
Something for Thee.
4 All that I am and have—
Thy gifts so free—
In joy, in grief, through life,
Dear Lord, for Thee;
And when Thy face I see,
My ransomed soul shall be,
Through all eternity,
Offered for Thee.
Amen. Scripture: John 15:13 Used With Tune: SOMETHING FOR JESUS

To rise like incense, each to Thee,
In noble thought and deed.

When pain and death shall cease,
And Thy just rule shall fill the earth
With health, and light, and peace;

And ever green the sod;
And man's rude work deface no more
The Paradise of God.

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 10.10.10 with alleluias Appears in 86 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ, Christian Life Lyrics: 1 When in our music God is glorified,
And adoration leaves no room for pride,
It is as though the whole creation cried:
Alleluia!
2 How often, making music, we have found
A new dimension in the world of sound,
As worship moved us to a more profound
Alleluia!
3 So has the Church, in liturgy and song,
In faith and love, through centuries of wrong,
Borne witness to the truth in ev'ry tongue:
Alleluia!
4 And did not Jesus sing a psalm that night
When utmost evil strove against the light?
Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight:
Alleluia!
5 Let ev'ry instrument be tuned for praise!
Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!
And may God give us faith to sing always:
Alleluia! Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16 Used With Tune: ENGELBERG

Since Jesus is my Friend

And I to Him belong,
It matters not what foes intend,
However fierce and strong.

Sweet words of holy cheer;
How they who seek in God their rest
Shall ever find Him near.
3 My heart for gladness springs;
It cannot more be sad;
For very joy it laughs and sings,
Sees naught but sunshine glad.
4 The Sun that lights mine eyes
Is Christ, the Lord I love;
I sing for joy of that which lies
Stored up for me above.
Amen. Used With Tune: GREENWOOD

O God, our help in ages past
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 1,258 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home:
2 Under the shadow of thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure. A-men.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in thy sight
Are like an evening gone,
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be thou our guide while troubles last,
And our eternal home!
Amen.

And can it be, that I should gain
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 299 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death Lyrics: 1 And can it be, that I should gain
an interest in the Saviour's blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain --
for me, who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
2 'Tis mystery all: the Immortal dies!
Who can explore his strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
to sound the depths of love divine.
'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore;
let angel minds inquire no more.
3 He left his Father's throne above, --
so free, so infinite his grace --
emptied himself of all but love,
and bled for Adam's helpless race:
'tis mercy all, immense and free;
for, O my God, it found out me!
4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
fast bound in sin and nature's night;
thine eye diffused a quickening ray;
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
my chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed thee.
5 No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living Head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach the eternal throne,
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:7 Used With Tune: SURREY (CAREY'S)
And can it be, that I should gain
Take time to be holy

speak oft with thy Lord,
abide in him always,
and feed on his word.
Make friends of God's children;
help those who are weak,
forgetting in nothing
his blessing to seek.
2 Take time to be holy;
the world rushes on;
spend much time in secret
with Jesus alone.
By looking to Jesus,
like him thou shalt be;
thy friends in thy conduct
his likeness shall see.
3 Take time to be holy;
let him be thy guide,
and run not before him,
whatever betide.
In joy or in sorrow,
still follow thy Lord,
and, looking to Jesus,
still trust in his word.
4 Take time to be holy;
be calm in thy soul;
each thought and each motive
beneath his control.
Thus led by his Spirit
to fountains of love,
thou soon shalt be fitted
for service above. Scripture: Psalm 46:10 Used With Tune: TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY
Take time to be holy
