Come Down, O Love Divine
Author: Bianco da Siena; Richard Frederick Littledale Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 114 hymnals Topics: Gift of the Holy Spirit; Grâce; Humility; Light Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love Divine;
seek out this soul of mine,
and visit it with your own ardor glowing.
O Comforter, draw near;
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming.
And let your glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling.
For none can guess God’s grace,
till Love creates a place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling. Scripture: Psalm 27:1 Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY

like the wideness of the sea;
there’s a kindness in God's justice,
which is more than liberty.
2 There is welcome for the sinner,
and more graces for the good!
There is mercy with the Savior;
there is healing in his blood.
3 For the love of God is broader
than the measure of our mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 If our love were but more simple,
we should rest upon God's word;
and our lives would be illumined
by the presence of our Lord.

As we journey, sweetly sing;
Sing your savior's worthy praise,
Glorious in his works and ways.
2 Ye are travelling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod;
They are happy now, and ye
Soon their happiness shall see.
3 O ye banish'd seed, be glad!
Christ our advocate is made;
Us to save, our flesh assumes,
Brother to our souls becomes.
4 Shout, ye little flock, and blest,
You an Jesus' throne shall rest:
There your seat is now prepar'd,
There your kingdom and reward.
4 Fear not, brethren, joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, your father's son,
Bids us undismay'd go on.
5 Lord! submissive make us go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only thou our leader be,
And we still will follow thee. Scripture: Isaiah 35:10

One thing I know
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Knowledge First Line: Dear savior, make me wise to see Lyrics: 1 Dear savior, make we wise to see
My sin, and guilt, and remedy;
'Tis said, of all thy blood has bought,
"They shall of Israel's God be taught."
2 Their plague of heart thy people know;
They know thy name and trust thee too;
They know the gospel's blissful sound,
The paths where endless joys abound.
3 Thy know the father and the son,
Theirs is eternal life begun:
Unto salvation they are wise,
Their grace shall into glory rise.
4 But— ignorance itself am I,
Born blind— estrang'd from thee I lie;
O Lord, to thee I humbly own
I nothing know, as should be known.
5 I scarce know God, or Christ, or sin,
My foes without, or plague within;
Know not my interest, Lord, in thee,
In pardon, peace, or liberty.
6 But help me to declare to-day,
If many things I cannot say,
"One thing I know," all praise to thee,
"Tho' blind I was— yet now I see." Scripture: John 9:25

On Thy grace I rest my plea;
Plenteous in compassion Thou,
Blot out my transgressions now;
Wash me, make me pure within,
Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin.
2 My transgressions I confess,
Grief and guilt my soul oppress;
I have sinned against Thy grace
And provoked Thee to Thy face;
I confess Thy judgment just,
Speechless, I Thy mercy trust.
3 I am evil, born in sin;
Thou desirest truth within.
Thou alone my Saviour art,
Teach Thy wisdom to my heart;
Make me pure, Thy grace bestow,
Wash me whiter than the snow.
4 Broken, humbled to the dust
By Thy wrath and judgment just,
Let my contrite heart rejoice
And in gladness hear Thy voice;
From my sins O hide Thy face,
Blot them out in boundless grace. Scripture: Psalm 51 Used With Tune: AJALON

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 686 hymnals Topics: The Glory of the Triune God God's Nature; The Glory of the Triune God God's Nature; Sanctifiying and Perfecting Grace Strength in Triublation; Particular Times of Worship Special Days; Adoration and Praise; Funerals and Memorial Services; Heritage; Kingdom of God; Presence (Holy Spirit) Lyrics: 1. A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper he amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
doth seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.
2. Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right man on our side,
the man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth, his name,
from age to age the same,
and he must win the battle.
3. And though this world, with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God hath willed
his truth to triumph through us.
The Prince of Darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo, his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him.
4. That word above all earthly powers,
no thanks to them, abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours,
thru him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
the body they may kill;
God's truth abideth still;
his kingdom is forever.
Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG

A prayer for humilty
Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Humility First Line: Lord, if thou thy grace impart Lyrics: 1 Lord, if thou thy grace impart,
Poor in spirit, meek in heart,
I shall as my master, be
Rooted in humility.
2 Simple, teachable, and mild,
Chang'd into a little child;
Pleas'd with all the Lord provides,
Wean'd from all the world besides.
3 Father, fix my soul on thee;
Every evil let me flee;
Nothing want, beneath, above,
Happy in thy precious love.
4 O that all may seek and find
Every good in Jesus join'd!
Him let Israel still adore,
Trust in him, praise him evermore.
