O enter, Lord, Thy temple

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O enter, Lord, Thy temple, Be Thou my spirit's Guest, Who, at my birth, didst give me A second birth more blest. Though here to dwell Thou deignest, Thou in the Godhead, Lord, For ever equal reignest, Art equally adored. 2 O enter, let me know Thee, And feel Thy power within, The power that breaks our fetters, And rescues us from sin. That I may serve Thee truly, O wash and cleanse Thou me, To render honor duly With perfect heart to Thee. 3 'Tis Thou, O Spirit, teachest The soul to pray aright; Thy songs have sweetest music, Thy prayers have wondrous might. They pierce the highest heaven; Unheard they cannot fall, Till He His help hath given Who surely helpeth all. 4 The whole wide world, O Spirit, Upon Thy hands doth rest; Our wayward hearts Thou turnest As it may seem Thee best. As Thou hast done so often, Once more Thy power make known, Convert the wicked, soften To tears the heart of stone. 5 Order our path in all things According to Thy mind; And when this life is over, And all must be resigned, With calm and fearless spirit O grant us then to die, And after death inherit Eternal life on high. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Whitsunday-The Holy Spirit Used With Tune: ST. THEODULPH

Lord Jesus, We Must Know You

Author: Margaret Clarkson Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, we must know you If we would make you known, For how can we proclaim you But by your grace alone? We long to know your fullness, Your life of risen power, For you alone can answer The challenge of this hour. 2 Our broken world is seeking What only you can give; Our words may go unheeded, But not the way we live. O Savior, live within us Your life so strong, so true, That others, touched with wonder, May seek and worship you! 3 Lord Jesus, by your Spirit Renew your Church, we pray, Till what we are makes valid The truth of what we say. So truly may we know you, So make your life our own, That we become so like you Our lives must make you known. Topics: Christian Living; Discipleship; Jesus; Witness Used With Tune: ST. THEODULPH

If God Himself be for me

Author: Richard Massie; Paul Gerhardt Appears in 44 hymnals Lyrics: 1 If God Himself be for me, I may a host defy; For when I pray, before me My foes confounded, fly. If Christ, the Head, befriend me, If God be my support, The mischief they intend me Shall quickly come to naught. 2 I build on this foundation; That Jesus and His Blood Alone are my salvation, The true eternal good; Without Him all that pleases Is valueless on earth: The gifts I owe to Jesus Alone my love are worth. 3 His Holy Spirit dwelleth Within my willing heart, Tames it when it rebelleth, And soothes the keenest smart. He crowns His work with blessing, And helpeth me to cry "My Father!" without ceasing, To Him Who reigns on high. 4 To mine His Spirit speaketh Sweet words of soothing power, How God to Him that seeketh For rest, hath rest in store-- How God Himself prepareth My heritage and lot, And, though my body weareth, My heaven shall fail me not. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Faith Used With Tune: ST. THEODULPH

Light of the Gentile nations

Author: Martin Franck; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of the Gentile nations, Thy people's joy and love, Drawn by Thy Spirit hither, We gladly come to prove Thy presence in Thy temple, And wait with earnest mind As Simeon once had waited His Savior God to find. 2 Yes, Lord, Thy servants meet Thee, E'en now, in ev'ry place, Where Thy true Word has promised, That they should see Thy face. Thou yet wilt gently grant us, Who gather round Thee here, In faith's strong arms to bear Thee, As once that aged seer. 3 Be Thou our joy, our brightness, That shines 'mid pain and loss, Our sun in times of terror, The glory round our cross, A glow in sinking spirits, A sunbeam in distress, Physician, friend in sickness, In death our happiness. 4 Let us, O Lord, be faithful With Simeon to the end, So that his dying song may From all our hearts ascend: "O Lord, now let Thy servant Depart in peace, I pray, Since I have seen my Savior, And have beheld His day." 5 My Savior, I behold Thee Now with the eye of faith; No foe of Thee can rob me, Though bitter words he saith; Within Thy heart abiding, As Thou dost dwell in me, No pain, no death has terrors To part my soul from Thee!

Forgive Them, O My Father

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Forgive them, O my Father, They know not what they do. The Savior spoke in anguish, As sharp iron nails went through. No word of anger spoke He To them that shed His blood, But prayer and tenderest pity Large as the love of God. 2. For me was that compassion, For me that tender care; I need His wide forgiveness As much as any there. It was my pride and hardness That hung Him on the tree; Those cruel nails, O Savior, Were driven in by me. 3. And often I have slighted Thy gentle voice that said: Forgive me too, Lord Jesus, I knew not what I did. O depth of sweet compassion! O love divine and true! Save Thou the souls that slight Thee, And know not what they do. Used With Tune: VALET WILL ICH DIR GEBEN Text Sources: Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1875, alt.
