Lift up your heads, you mighty gates
Author: Georg Weissel, 1590-1635; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.6.6 Appears in 280 hymnals Topics: Personal Response to Jesus Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, you mighty gates,
behold, the King of glory waits!
The King of kings is drawing near,
the Saviour of the world is here;
salvation and new life he brings,
therefore the earth is glad and sings:
Our Maker, we sing praise,
mighty in all your ways.
2 The Lord is just, a helper tried,
with mercy ever at his side;
his kingly crown is holiness,
his scepter, pity in distress;
the end of all our woes he brings,
therefore the earth is glad and sings:
Our Saviour, we now raise
our grateful hymns of praise.
3 How blest the land, the city blest,
where Christ the ruler is confessed!
What happy hearts and happy homes
to whom this king in triumph comes!
The cloudless sun of joy he is,
Who brings us pure delight and bliss.
Our Comforter, we raise
our grateful hymns of praise.
4 Lift up the gates; lift up your heart,
make it a temple set apart
from earthly use for heaven's employ,
adorned with prayer and love and joy:
so shall your sovereign enter in,
and new and nobler life begin.
To you, O God, be praise
for word, and deed, and grace.
5 Redeemer, come! With me abide,
my heart to you I open wide.
Let me your inner presence feel,
your grace and love in me reveal;
your Holy Spirit guide us on
until our glorious goal is won.
Eternal praise and fame
we offer to your name. Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:13-16 Used With Tune: MACH NOCH DIE TÜR

Lord, in the strength of grace
Jesus calls us! O’er the tumult
Author: Cecil Francis Alexander, 1818-95 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 955 hymnals Topics: Personal Response to Jesus Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us! O'er the tumult
of our life's wild restless sea,
day by day his voice is sounding,
saying, 'Christian, follow me':
2 As of old, Saint Andrew heard it
by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and toil and kindred
leaving all for his dear sake.
3 Jesus calls us from the worship
of the vain world's golden store,
from each idol that would keep us, saying,
'Christian, love me more.'
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of toil and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
'Christian, love me more than these.'
5 Jesus calls us! By your mercies,
Saviour, may we hear your call,
give our hearts to your obedience,
serve and love you best of all. Scripture: John 21:15-25 Used With Tune: ST CATHERINE
Jesus calls us! O’er the tumult
O thou who camest from above
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 181 hymnals Topics: Personal Response to Jesus Lyrics: 1 O thou who camest from above
the pure celestial fire to impart,
kindle a flame of sacred love
on the mean altar of my heart.
2 There let it for thy glory burn
with inextinguishable blaze,
and trembling to its source return,
in humble prayer and fervent praise.
3 Jesus, confirm my heart's desire
to work, and speak, and think for thee;
still let me guard the holy fire,
and still stir up thy gift in me,
4 ready for all thy perfect will,
my acts of faith and love repeat,
till death thy endless mercies seal,
and make the sacrifice complete. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Used With Tune: HEREFORD
O thou who camest from above
Make me a captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 122 hymnals Topics: Personal Response to Jesus 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.
I sink in life's alarms
when by myself I stand;
imprison me within thine arms,
and strong shall be my hand.
2 My heart is weak and poor
until it master find;
it has no spring of action sure,
it varies with the wind.
It cannot freely move,
till thou hast wrought its chain;
enslave it with thy matchless love,
and deathless it shall reign.
3 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;
it only stands unbent
amid the clashing strife,
when on thy bosom it has leant,
and found in thee its life. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:8-11 Used With Tune: ICH HALTE TREULICH STILL
Make me a captive, Lord
At the name of Jesus
Author: Caroline Maria Noel, 1817-77 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 260 hymnals Topics: Personal Response to Jesus Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus
every knee shall bow,
every tongue confess him
King of Glory now:
this the Father's pleasure
that we call him Lord,
who from the beginning
was the mighty Word.
2 Humbled for a season
to receive a name
from the lips of sinners
unto whom he came,
faithfully he bore it
spotless to the last,
brought it back victorious,
when from death he passed.
3 In your hearts enthrone him,
there let him make new
all that is not holy,
all that is not true.
He is God the Saviour,
he is Christ the Lord,
ever to be worshipped,
trusted and adored.
4 When this same Lord Jesus
shall appear again,
in his Father's glory,
there with him to reign,
then may we adore him,
all before him bow,
as our hearts confess him
King of Glory now. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Used With Tune: CAMBERWELL
At the name of Jesus
Jesus, we thus obey

we come to meet you, Lord.

to make the Saviour room;
for now the Lamb, the crucified,
the sinners' friend has come.
3 Your presence makes the feast;
now let our spirits feel
the glory not to be expressed,
the joy unspeakable.
4 With high and heavenly bliss
you now our spirits cheer;
your house of banqueting is this,
and you have brought us here.
5 Now let our souls be fed
with manna from above,
and over us your banner spread
of everlasting love. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Used With Tune: ST AUGUSTINE

of your mighty love.
3 Lord, thine arms are stretching
ever far and wide
to enfold your children
to your loving side.
4 And I come, Lord Jesus:
dare I turn away?
No, your love has conquered,
and I come today.
5 Bringing all my burdens,

at your feet I lay them,
and I leave them there. Scripture: John 3:14-17 Used With Tune: NORTH COATES
