My gracious Lord, I own thy right

Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 260 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Consecration and Activity Lyrics: 1 My gracious Lord, I own thy right To every service I can pay, And call it my supreme delight To hear thy dictates and obey. 2 What is my being, but for thee, Its sure support, its noblest end? Thine ever-smiling face to see, And serve the cause of such a Friend. 3 I would not breathe for worldly joy, Or to increase my worldly good; Nor future days nor powers employ To spread a sounding name abroad. 4 'Tis to my Saviour I would live, To him who for my ransom died; Nor could the bowers of Eden give Such bliss as blossoms at his side. 5 His work my hoary age shall bless, When youthful vigor is no more; And my last hour of life confess His dying love, his saving power. Scripture: Psalm 101:2

Chorus: Wait not till the shadows lengthen, till you older grow, Rally now and sing for Jesus, ev'rywhere you go; Lift your joyful voices high, Ringing clear thro' earth and sky, Let the blessed tidings fly, Jesus lives! Wait not till the shadows lengthen, till you older grow, Rally now and sing for Jesus, ev'rywhere you go; Lift your joyful voices high, Ringing clear thro' earth and sky, Let the blessed tidings fly, Jesus lives! 2 Tongues of children light and free, Tongues of youth all full of glee, Sing to all on land and sea, Jesus lives! Light for you and all mankind, Sight for all by sin made blind, Life in Jesus all may find, Jesus lives! [Chorus] 3 Jesus lives, O blessed words! King of kings and Lord of lords! Lift the cross and sheathe the swords, Jesus lives! See, He breaks the prison wall, Throws aside the dreadful pall, Conquers death at once for all, Jesus lives!

Psalm 41

Author: Mrs. A. L. Barbauld Appears in 158 hymnals Topics: Activity; Activity First Line: Blest is the man whose softening heart Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man whose softening heart Feels all another's pain; To whom the supplicating eye Was never raised in vain: 2 Whose breast expands with generous warmth A stranger's woes to feel; And bleeds in pity o'er the wound He wants the power to heal. 3 He spreads his kind supporting arms To every child of grief; His secret bounty largely flows, And brings unasked relief. 4 To gentle offices of love His feet are never slow: He views, through mercy's melting eye, A brother in a foe. 5 Peace from the bosom of his God, The Saviour's grace shall give; And, when he kneels before the throne, His trembling soul shall live.
