Pleasant Are Thy Courts Above

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: The Hymnbook #441 (1955) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Aspiration Lyrics: 1 Pleasant are Thy courts above In the land of light and love; Pleasant are Thy courts below In this land of sin and woe. O my spirit longs and faints For the converse of Thy saints, For the brightness of Thy face, For Thy fullness, God of grace. 2 Happy birds that sing and fly Round Thy altars, O Most High; Happier souls that find a rest In a heavenly Father's breast! Like the wandering dove that found No repose on earth around, They can to their ark repair And enjoy it ever there. 3 Happy souls, their praises flow Even in this vale of woe; Waters in the desert rise, Manna feeds them from the skies: On they go from strength to strength Till they reach Thy throne at length, At Thy feet adoring fall, Who hast led them safe through all. 4 Lord, be mine this prize to win; Guide me through a world of sin; Keep me by Thy saving grace; Give me at Thy side a place. Sun and shield alike Thou art; Guide and guard my erring heart. Grace and glory flow from Thee; Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 84 Tune Title: MAIDSTONE

Make Me a Captive, Lord

Author: George Matheson Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #442 (1985) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Faith and Aspiration 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. 2 I sink in life's alarms when by myself I stand; imprison me within thine arms, and strong shall be my hand. 3 My heart is weak and poor until it master find; it has no spring of action sure-- it varies with the wind. 4 It cannot freely move till thou hast wrought its chain; enslave it with thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign. 5 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.

Look from Thy sphere of endless day

Author: William Cullen Bryant, 1794-1878 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #442 (1917) Topics: The Christian Life Aspiration and Prayer Lyrics: 1 Look from Thy sphere of endless day, O God of mercy and of might; In pity look on those who stray, Benighted in this land of light. 2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, In crowded mart, by stream or sea, How many of the sons of men Hear not the message sent from Thee! 3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call The thoughtless young, the hardened old, A scattered, homeless flock, till all Be gathered to Thy peaceful fold. 4 Send them Thy mighty word to speak Till faith shall dawn and doubt depart, To awe the bold, to stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart. 5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene, That make us sadden as we gaze, Shall grow, with living waters, green, And lift to heaven the voice of praise.
