O For a Closer Bond with God
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #450 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Faith and Aspiration Lyrics: 1 O for a closer bond with God,
a calm and heavenly frame,
A light to shine upon the road
that leads us to the Lamb!
2 Where is the blessedness we knew
when first our hearts were stirred?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
of Jesus Christ, the Word?
3 Return, O holy Dove, return,
sweet messenger of peace!
Forgive our sins and help us learn
in Christ to find release.
4 The dearest idols we have known,
as we our ways pursue;
Help us to tear them from your throne,
and worship only you.
5 So shall our bond be close with God,
calm and serene our frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
that leads us to the Lamb! Scripture: Isaiah 30:18-22 Languages: English Tune Title: BEATITUDO

And Can It Be That I Should Gain
Author: Charles (or John) Wesley Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #451 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Faith and Aspiration Refrain First Line: Amazing love! How can it be Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain
an int'rest in the Savior's blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain--
for me, who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be
that thou, my Lord, should die for me?
Refrain:
Amazing love! How can it be that thou,
my Lord, shouldst die for me.
2 'Tis myst'ry all, th'Immortal dies:
who can explore this strange design?
In vain the first-born seraph tries
to sound the depths of love divine.
'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
let angel minds inquire no more. (Refrain)
3 He left his Father's throne above
(so free, so infinite his grace!),
emptied himself of all but love,
and bled for Adam's helpless race.
'Tis mercy all! immense and free!
for, O my God, it found out me! (Refrain)
4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature's night;
thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray;
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light!
My chains fell off; my heart was free;
I rose, went forth, and followed thee. (Refrain)
5 No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living Head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach th'eternal throne,
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. (Refrain)
Scripture: Acts 16:16 Languages: English Tune Title: SAGINA

Dear Lord and Father of mankind
Author: J. G. Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #451 (1917) Topics: The Christian Life Aspiration and Prayer Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
Forgive our foolish ways!
Re-clothe 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 With that deep hush subduing all
Our words and works that drown
The tender whisper of Thy call,
As noiseless let Thy blessing fall
As fell Thy manna down.
5 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.
6 Breathe through the pulses of desire
Thy coolness and Thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, its heats expire:
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still small voice of calm! Languages: English Tune Title: REST
Dear Lord and Father of mankind

When heated in the chase,
So longs my soul, O God, for you
And your refreshing grace.
2 For you, my God, the living God,
My thirsty spirit pines;
Oh, when shall I behold your face,
O Majesty divine?
3 One trouble calls another on
And gathers overhead,
Falls splashing down, till round my soul
A rising sea is spread.
4 Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
Hope still, and you shall sing
The praise of him who is your God,
Your health's eternal spring.
5 For now I trust in God for strength,
I trust him to employ
His love for me and change my sighs
to thankful hymns of joy. Languages: English Tune Title: MARTYRDOM

And without a rival reign.
