I bind unto myself today
Author: St. Patrick, 372-466; Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: Common Praise #203b (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Lent I Year B 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 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.
3 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.
4 Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me;
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
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 hath creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation:
salvation is of Christ the Lord.
Amen. Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16:35 Languages: English Tune Title: GARTAN

O Love divine, how sweet thou art!
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Common Praise #541 (2000) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Topics: Lent I Year A Lyrics: 1 O love divine, how sweet thou art!
When shall I find my longing heart
all taken up by thee?
I thirst, I faint, I die to prove
the greatness of redeeming love,
the love of Christ to me.
2 Stronger his love than death or hell;
its riches are unsearchable:
the first-born sons of light
desire in vain its depth to see;
they cannot reach the mystery,
the length and breadth and height.
*3 God only knows the love of God;
O that it now were shed abroad
in this poor stony heart!
For love I sigh, for love I pine;
this only portion, Lord, be mine,
be mine this better part.
4 For ever would I take my seat
with Mary at the Master's feet:
be this my happy choice;
my only care, delight, and bliss,
my joy, my heaven on earth, be this,
to hear the Bridegroom's voice!
5 Thy only love do I require,
nothing on earth beneath desire,
nothing in heaven above:
let earth and heaven, and all things go,
give me thine only love to know,
give me thine only love. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:12 Languages: English Tune Title: CORNWALL
O Love divine, how sweet thou art!

As pants the hart for cooling streams
Author: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715; Nicholas Brady, 1659-1726 Hymnal: Common Praise #379 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Lent I Year B Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling streams
when heated in the chase,
so longs my soul, O God, for thee,
and thy refreshing grace.
2 For thee, my God, the living God,
my thirsty soul doth pine:
O when shall I behold thy face,
thou majesty divine?
3 Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
Hope still, and thou shalt sing
the praise of him who is thy God,
thy health's eternal spring.
4 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
the God whom we adore,
be glory, as it was, is now,
and shall be evermore. Scripture: Psalm 42:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: MARTYRDOM

3 Not for ever by still waters
