O For a Heart to Praise My God

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,179 hymnals Topics: Glorifying God Lyrics: 1 O for a heart to praise my God, a heart from sin set free; a heart that always feels thy blood so freely shed for me. 2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek, my great Redeemer's throne, where only Christ is heard to speak, where Jesus reigns alone. 3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart, believing, true, and clean, which neither life nor death can part from Christ who dwells within. 4 A heart in every thought renewed and full of love divine, perfect and right and pure and good, a copy, Lord, of thine. 5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart, come quickly from above; write thy new name upon my heart, thy new, best name of Love. Scripture: Psalm 51:10 Used With Tune: RICHMOND

Dear Lord and Father of Mankind

Author: John G. Whittier, 1807-1892 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 529 hymnals Topics: Glorifying God Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind, Forgive our foolish ways; Reclothe us in our rightful mind, In purer lives Thy service find, In deeper reverence, praise. 2 In simple trust like theirs who heard, Beside the Syrian sea, The gracious calling of the Lord, Let us, like them, without a word Rise up and follow Thee. 3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee! O calm of hills above, Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee The silence of eternity, Interpreted by love! 4 Drop Thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of Thy peace. 5 Breathe through the heats of our desire Thy coolness and Thy balm; Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire: Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still small voice of calm! AMEN. Used With Tune: REST (ELTON)

The night is dark, and I am far from home; Lead Thou me on! Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene – one step enough for me. 2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on; I love to choose and see my path; but now Lead Thou me on! I loved the garish day, and spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3 So long Thy power hath blessed me, sure it still Will lead me on O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone. And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile! AMEN. Used With Tune: LUX BENIGNA
