Author: John Wesley ; George Herbert, 1593 - 1633 Appears in 270 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ Petition and Intercession Lyrics: 1 Teach me, my God and King, In all things thee to see, And what I do in anything, To do it as for thee. 2 To scorn the senses’ sway, While still to thee I tend; In all I do be thou the way, In all be thou the end. 3 All may of thee partake; Nothing so small can be, But draws, when acted for thy sake, Greatness and worth from thee. 4 If done to obey thy laws, E’en servile labors shine; Hallowed is toil if this the cause, The meanest work, divine. 5 Thee, then, my God and King, In all things may I see, And what I do in anything, May it be done for thee. Amen. Used With Tune: CARLISLE

Immortal Love, forever full

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807 - 92 Appears in 325 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Contemplation; The Life In Christ The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love, forever full, Forever flowing free, Forever shared, forever whole, A never-ebbing sea! 2 Our outward lips confess the Name All other names above; Love only knoweth whence it came, And comprehendeth love. 3 We may not climb the heavenly steeps To bring the Lord Christ down; In vain we search the lowest deeps, For him no depths can drown: 4 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet A present help is he; And faith has still its Olivet, And love its Galilee. 5 The healing of his seamless dress Is by our beds of pain; We touch him in life's throng and press, And we are whole again. 6 Through him the first fond prayers are said Our lips of childhood frame; The last low whispers of our dead Are burdened with his Name. 7 O Lord, and Master of us all, Whate'er our name or sign, We own thy sway, we hear thy call, We test our lives by thine.

Jerusalem, my happy home

Appears in 632 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home, When shall I come to thee? When shall my sorrows have an end?

In thee no sorrow may be found, No grief, no care, no toil. 3 Thy gardens and thy gallant walks Continually are green; There grow such sweet and pleasant flowers As nowhere else are seen. 4 Quite through the streets with silver sound The flood of life doth flow, Upon whose banks on every side The wood of life doth grow. 5 There trees for evermore bear fruit, And evermore do spring; There evermore the angels sit, And evermore do sing. 6 Jerusalem, my happy home, Would God I were in thee! Would God my woes were at an end, Thy joys that I might see! Used With Tune: SOUTHWELL (IRONS) Text Sources: Based on St. Augustine, F. B. P., cir. XVI cent.

Art thou weary, heavy-laden

Author: Rev. John M. Neale Meter: 8.5.8.3 Appears in 663 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ The Call of Christ Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, heavy-laden, Art thou sore distrest? "Come to Me," saith One, "and, coming, Be at rest." 2 Hath He marks to lead me to Him, If He be my Guide? "In His feet and hands are wound prints, And His side." 3 Is there diadem, as Monarch, That His brow adorns? "Yea, a crown, in very surety, But of thorns." 4 If I find Him, if I follow, What His guerdon here? "Many a sorrow, many a labor, Many a tear." 5 If I still hold closely to Him, What hath He at last? "Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan passed." 6 If I ask Him to receive me, Will He say me nay? "Not till earth and not till heaven Pass away." 7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is He sure to bless? "Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs, Answer, 'Yes.'" Amen. Used With Tune: STEPHANOS

Make me a captive, Lord

Author: Rev. George Matheson (1842-1906) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 128 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ Dedication and Consecration Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord, And then I shall be free; Force me to render up my sword, And I shall conqueror be. I sink in life's alarms When by myself I stand; Imprison me within Thine arms, And strong shall be my hand. 2 My heart is weak and poor Until it master find; It has no spring of action sure— It varies with the wind. It cannot freely move Till Thou hast wrought its chain; Enslave it with Thy matchless love, And deathless it shall reign. 3 My power is faint and low Till I have learned to serve; It wants the needed fire to glow, It wants the breeze to nerve; It cannot drive the world Until itself be driven; Its flag can only be unfurled When Thou shalt breathe from heaven. 4 My will is not my own Till Thou hast made it Thine; If it would reach a monarch's throne, It must its crown resign; It only stands unbent Amid the clashing strife, When on Thy bosom it has leant And found in Thee its life. Amen. Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb, I will suffer nought to hide thee, Ask for nought beside thee. 2 In thy strength I rest me; Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, Every heart be quaking, God dispels our fear; Sin and hell in conflict fell With their heaviest storms assail us: Jesus will not fail us. 3 Hence all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in; Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within; Yea, whate'er we here must bear, Still is thee lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless Treasure!

'Gainst lies and lusts and wrongs, Let courage rule our souls: In keenest strife, Lord, may we stand, Upheld and strengthened by Thy hand. 4 Not long the conflict: soon The holy war shall cease, Faith's warfare ended, won The home of endless peace! Look up! the victor's crown at length! March on, O soul, march on, with strength! Amen. Used With Tune: ARTHUR'S SEAT
