Christ, the Life of All the Living
Author: Ernst Christoph Homburg, 1605-1681; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 66 hymnals Topics: Lent; Lent Lyrics: 1 Christ, the life of all the living,
Christ, the death of death, our foe,
Christ, yourself for me once giving
to the darkest depths of woe:
through your suff'ring, death, and merit
life eternal I inherit.
Thousand, thousand thanks are due,
dearest Jesus, unto you.
2 You have suffered great affliction
and have borne it patiently,
even death by crucifixion,
fully to atone for me;
for you chose to be tormented
that my doom should be prevented.
Thousand, thousand thanks are due,
dearest Jesus, unto you.
3 Then, for all that bought our pardon,
for the sorrows deep and sore,
for the anguish in the garden,
I will thank you evermore;
thank you for the groaning, sighing,
for the bleeding and the dying,
for that last triumphant cry,
praise you evermore on high.

Come down, O Love divine
Author: Bianco da Siena, d. 1434; R. F. Littledale, 1833-1890 Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 109 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday Before Lent Year C Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine,
seek thou this soul of mine,
and visit it with thine own ardour glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let thy glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity
mine outward vesture be,
and lowliness become mine inner clothing:
true lowliness of heart,
which takes the humbler part,
and o'er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till he become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling. Scripture: 1 Peter 5:5 Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY

Author: Heinrich Held, b. about 1659; Charles William Schæffer Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Lent, Second Sunday First Line: Come, O come, Thou quick'ning Spirit Lyrics: 1 Come, O, come, Thou quick'ning Spirit,
Thou forever art divine;
Let Thy power never fail me,
Always fill this heart of mine;
Then shall grace, and truth, and light
Dissipate the gloom of night.
2 Grant my mind and my affections
Wisdom, counsel, purity,
That I may be ever seeking
Naught but that which pleases Thee.
Let Thy knowledge spread and grow,
And all error's overthrow.
3 Lead me to green pastures, lead me
By the true and living way,
Shield me from each strong temptation
That might draw my heart astray;
And if e'er my feet should turn,
For each error let me mourn.
4 Holy Spirit, strong and mighty,
Thou who makest all things new,
Make Thy work within me perfect,
Help me by Thy Word so true,
Arm me with that Sword of Thine,
And the victory shall be mine.
5 In the faith, O make me steadfast;
Let not Satan, death, or shame
Of my confidence deprive me;
Lord, my refuge is Thy Name.
When the flesh inclines to ill,
Let Thy Word prove stronger still.
6 And when my last hour approaches,
Let my hopes grow yet more bright;
Since I am an heir of heaven,
In Thy glorious courts of light,
Fairer far than voice can tell,
There, redeemed by Christ, to dwell.
Amen. Used With Tune: KOMM, O KOMM, DU GEIST DES LEBENS
Come, O Come, Thou Quickening Spirit
