Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart

Author: George Croly Hymnal: The Hymnal for Worship and Celebration #249 (1986) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Aspiration; Christian Education; Commitment and Consecration; Holy Spirit; Temptation; Worship Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart; Wean it from earth, thro' all its pulses move. Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art, And make me love Thee as I ought to love. 2 Hast Thou not bid us love Thee, God and King? All, all Thine own - soul, heart and strength and mind. I see Thy cross - there teach my heart to cling; O let me seek Thee, and O let me find. 3 Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh; Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear - To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 4 Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love, One holy passion filling all my frame: The baptism of the heav'n-descended Dove - My heart an altar and Thy love the flame. Amen. Tune Title: MORECAMBE

When Jesus Came to Jordan

Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #252 (1989) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Christ's Gracious Life Birth and Baptism; Christian Year Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany; Christian Year Baptism of the Lord; Christ's Gracious Life Birth and Baptism; Christian Year Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany; Christian Year Baptism of the Lord; Commitment; Healing; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ Example Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came to Jordan to be baptized by John, he did not come for pardon but as the sinless one. He came to share repentance with all who mourn their sins, to speak the vital sentence with which good news begins. 2 He came to share temptation, our utmost woe and loss, for us and our salvation to die upon the cross. So when the dove descended on him, the Son of Man, the hidden years had ended, the age of grace began. 3 Come, Holy Spirit, aid us to keep the vows we make; this very day invade us, and every bondage break. Come, give our lives direction, the gift we covet most: to share the resurrection that leads to Pentecost. Scripture: Matthew 3:13-17 Languages: English Tune Title: COMPLAINER

One Thing's Needful

Author: Johann H. Schröder, 1667-99; Frances E. Cox, 1812-97 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #277 (1982) Meter: 8.7.8.7.12.12.11.11 Topics: Celebration; Commitment; Education, Christian; Redeemer First Line: One thing's needful; Lord, this treasure Lyrics: 1 One thing’s needful; Lord, this treasure Teach me highly to regard; All else, though it first give pleasure, Is a yoke that presses hard. Beneath it the heart is still fretting and striving, No true, lasting happiness ever deriving. The gain of this one thing all loss can requite, Can teach me in all things to find true delight. 2 If you seek this one thing needful, Turn from all created things; Turn to Jesus and be heedful Of the peace and joy he brings. For where God and man both in one are united, With love and forgiveness the heart is delighted; There, there is the worthiest lot and the best, Where Jesus alone is your joy and your rest. 3 How were Mary’s thoughts devoted Her eternal joy to find As intent each word she noted At her Savior’s feet reclined! How kindled her heart, how devout was its feeling While hearing the wisdom that Christ was revealing! For Jesus all earthly concerns she forgot In love and devotion to what Jesus taught. 4 So my longings, upward tending, Jesus, rest alone on you. All my life on you depending, Teach me what to will and do. Although all the world should forsake and forget you, In love I would follow, I'll never desert you. The words of your teaching, O Lord, are my life, My joy and my peace in this vain world of strife. 5 Wisdom’s highest, noblest treasure, Jesus, is revealed in you. Let me find in you my pleasure, Make my will and actions true, Humility there and simplicity reigning, In paths of true wisdom my steps ever training. If I learn from Jesus this knowledge divine, The blessing of heavenly wisdom is mine. 6 Therefore you alone, my Savior, Shall be all in all to me: Search my heart and my behavior, Root out all hypocrisy. Through all my life’s pilgrimage, guard and uphold me, In loving forgiveness, O Jesus, enfold me. This one thing is needful, all others are vain; I count all but loss that I Christ may obtain!

Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended, that we to judge thee have in hate pretended? By foes derided, by thine own rejected, O most afflicted! 2. Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon thee? Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone thee! 'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied thee; I crucified thee. 3. Lo, the Good Shepherd for the sheep is offered; the slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered. For our atonement, while we nothing heeded, God interceded. 4. For me, kind Jesus, was thy incarnation, thy mortal sorrow, and thy life's oblation; thy death of anguish and thy bitter passion, for my salvation. 5. Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay thee, I do adore thee, and will ever pray thee, think on thy pity and thy love unswerving, not my deserving.

Alas! and did my Savior bleed, and did my Sovereign die? Would he devote that sacred head for sinners such as I? 2. Was it for crimes that I have done, he groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! Grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3. Well might the sun in darkness hide, and shut its glories in, when God, the mighty maker, died for his own creature's sin. 4. Thus might I hide my blushing face while his dear cross appears; dissolve my heart in thankfulness, and melt mine eyes to tears. 5. But drops of tears can ne'er repay the debt of love I owe. Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'tis all that I can do. Languages: English Tune Title: MARTYRDOM
