Peal out the watchword, and silence it never
Make me a captive, Lord
Author: Rev. George Matheson (1842-1906) Hymnal: The Hymnal #247a (1950) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: Discipleship and Service 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. Tune Title: LLANLLYFNI

Make me a captive, Lord
Jesus, I my cross have taken
Author: Rev. Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The Hymnal #274 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave, and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou from hence my All shalt be:
Perish every fond ambition,
All I've sought, or hoped, or known;
Yet how rich is my condition:
God and heaven are still my own.
2 Man may trouble and distress me,
'T will but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heaven will bring me sweeter rest;
O 't is not in grief to harm me
While Thy love is left to me;
O 't were not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation,
Rise o'er sin and fear and care;
Joy to find in every station
Something still to do or bear;
Think what Spirit dwells within thee,
What a Father's smile is thine,
What a Saviour died to win thee:
Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine?
4 Haste, then, on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer;
Heaven's eternal day's before thee:
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission;
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope soon change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: CRUCIFER
Jesus, I my cross have taken
Christ of the Upward Way
Author: Rev. Walter J. Mathams Hymnal: The Hymnal #277 (1950) Meter: 6.4.6.4.10.10 Topics: Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 Christ of the Upward Way,
My Guide divine,
Where Thou hast set Thy feet
My I place mine;
And move and march wherever Thou hast trod,
Keeping face forward up the hill of God.
2 Give me the heart to hear
Thy voice and will,
That without fault or fear
I may fulfill
Thy purpose with a glad and holy zest,
Like one who would not bring less than his best.
3 Give me the good stout arm
To shield the right,
And wield Thy sword of truth
With all my might,
That, in the warfare I must wage for Thee,
More than a victor I may ever be. ·
4 Christ of the Upward Way,
My Guide divine,
Where Thou hast set Thy feet
May I place mine;
And when Thy last call comes serene and clear,
Calm may my answer be, "Lord, I am here."
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: SURSUM CORDA

I Bind unto Myself Today
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander; St. Patrick Hymnal: Voices United #317 (1996) Meter: Irregular Topics: Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today
the strong Name of the Trinity;
by invocation of the same,
the three in one and one in three.
2 I bind this day to me forever,
by power of faith, Christ's incarnation,
his baptism in the Jordan river;
his cross of death for my salvation,
his bursting from the spicèd tomb,
his riding up the heavenly way,
his coming at the day of doom:
I bind unto myself today.
3 I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the star-lit heaven,
the glorious sun's life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.
4 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
his eye to watch, his might to stay,
his ear to hearken to my need;
the wisdom of my God to teach,
his hand to guide, his shield to ward,
the word of God to give me speech,
his heavenly host to be my guard.
5 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong Name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the three in one and one in three,
of whom all nature has creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation;
salvation is of Christ the Lord! Languages: English Tune Title: ST PATRICK

O Morning Star, how fair and bright

Thou beamest forth in truth and light!
O Sovereign meek and lowly!
Thou Root of Jesse, David's Son,
My Lord and Master, Thou hast won
My heart to serve Thee solely!
Thou art holy,
Fair and glorious, all victorious,
Rich in blessing,
Rule and might o'er all possessing.
2 Thou heavenly Brightness! Light divine!
O deep within my heart now shine,
And make Thee there an altar!
Fill me with joy and strength to be
Thy member, ever joined to Thee
In love that cannot falter;
Toward Thee longing
Doth possess me; turn and bless me;
Here in sadness
Eye and heart long for Thy gladness!
Amen. Tune Title: FRANKFORT
O Morning Star, how fair and bright
One holy Church of God appears
Author: Rev. Samuel Longfellow Hymnal: The Hymnal #335 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 One holy Church of God appears
Through every age and race,
Unwasted by the lapse of years,
Unchanged by changing place.
2 From oldest time, on farthest shores,
Beneath the pine or palm,
One unseen Presence she adores,
With silence, or with psalm.
3 The truth is her prophetic gift,
The soul her sacred page;
And feet on mercy’s errands swift
Do make her pilgrimage.
4 O living Church, thine errand speed,
Fulfill thy task sublime;
With Bread of life earth’s hungers feed;
Redeem the evil time!
Amen. Tune Title: ST. JAMES
