Thou Art My Portion, Lord
Author: Anonymous Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Friend of Sinners Lyrics: 1 Thou art my portion, Lord;
thy words I ever heed;
with all my heart thy grace I seek,
thy promises I plead.

thy testimonies learned;
with earnest haste, and waiting not,
to thy commands I turned.
3 While snares beset my path,
thy law I keep in view;
at midnight I will give thee praise
for all thy judgments true.

My Lord, I did not choose you
Author: J. Conder (1789-1855) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Christ the Friend of Sinners Lyrics: 1 My Lord, I did not choose you
for that could never be;
my heart would still refuse you
had you not chosen me:
you took the sin that stained me,
you cleansed me, made me new,
for you, Lord, had ordained me
that I should live in you.
2 Unless your grace had called me
and taught my opening mind,
the world would have enthralled me,
to heavenly glories blind:
my heart knows none above you;
for you I long, I thirst,
and know that, if I love you,
Lord, you have loved me first. Scripture: John 15:16 Used With Tune: OFFERTORIUM
My Lord, I did not choose you

My Lord, you wore no royal crown
Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Christ the Friend of Sinners Lyrics: 1 My Lord, you wore no royal crown;
you did not wield the powers of state,
nor did you need a scholar's gown
or priestly robe, to make you great.
2 You never used a killer's sword
to end an unjust tyranny;
your only weapon was your word,
for truth alone could set us free.
3 You did not live a world away
in hermit's cell or desert cave,
but felt our pain and shared each day
with those you came to seek and save.
4 You made no mean or cunning move,
chose no unworthy compromise,
but carved a track of burning love
through tangles of deceit and lies.
5 You came unequaled, undeserved,
to be what I was meant to be;
you came to serve, not to be served;
a light for all the world to see.
6 So when I stumble, set me right;
command my life as you require;
let all your gifts be my delight
and you, my Lord, my one desire. Used With Tune: SPLENDOUR
My Lord, you wore no royal crown
Out of the Depths I Cry to You On High
Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Friend of Sinners Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths I cry to you on high;
Lord, hear my call.
Bend down your ear and listen to my sigh,
forgiving all.
If you should mark our sins, who then could stand?
But grace and mercy dwell at your right hand.
2 I wait for God, I trust his holy word;
he hears my sighs.
My soul still waits and looks unto the Lord;
my prayers arise.
I look for him to drive away my night–
yes, more than those who watch for morning light.
3 Hope in the Lord: unfailing is his love;
in him confide.
Mercy and full redemption from above
he does provide.
From sin and evil, mighty though they seem,
his arm almighty will his saints redeem. Used With Tune: SANDON Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.

his name be exalted on high! Used With Tune: CALHOUN MELODY
