tu misericordia borre mi maldad.
Lávame del mal y limpiame de iniquidad;
contra ti no quiero pecar.
Refrain:
Vuélveme, Señor, a gozarme enti,
a sentir la paz de tu perdón;
me sustente la nobleza de tu amor.
2 Reconozco que yo fui rebekle sin razón,
mis pecados pongo delante de ti.
Contra ti peque y sólo a ti yo defraudé;
a tus ojos culpable soy. [Refrain]
3 Lavame, Señor y hazme más puro que una flor,
crea un nueve corazon dentro de mí.
Cantará mi lengua tu justicia y tu perdón;
alabanzea te ofreceré. [Refrain]

with unfailing kindness, blot out all my sin.
Cleanse me from unrighteousness in thought and word and deed;
in your mercy, heal me within.
Refrain:
Lord, restore to me, Lord, restore to me
the sureness of salvation and its joy.
Let me know forgiveness and the peace of your love.
2 Lord, I know my rebel heart has wandered from your will,
and resistance with no reason is my path.
You and you alone have been the One to know my sin,
and my guilt has earned me your wrath. [Refrain]
3 Lord, refresh and make me like the newness of the spring.
like a flower opening to your warming rays.
So my grateful tongue will tell the wonders of your love,
and my pardoned heart will sing praise. [Refrain]

Author: John Brownlie, 1859-1925; Gregory of Nazianzus, 325-290 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Servants of Christ or God Lyrics: 1 O Light that knew no dawn,
that shines to endless day,
all things in earth and heav'n
are lustred by thy ray;
no eye can to thy throne ascend,
nor mind thy brightness comprehend.
2 Thy grace, O Father, give,
that I may serve in fear;
above all boons, I pray,
grant me thy voice to hear;
from sin thy child in mercy free,
and let me dwell in light with thee:
3 That, cleansed from stain of sin,
I may meet homage give,
and, pure in heart, behold
thy beauty while I live;
clean hands in holy worship raise,
and thee, O Christ my Savior, praise.
4 In supplication meek
to thee I bend the knee;
O Christ, when thou shalt come,
in love remember me,
and in thy kingdom, by thy grace,
grant me a humble servant's place.
5 Thy grace, O Father, give,
I humbly thee implore;
and let thy mercy bless
thy servant more and more.
All grace and glory be to thee,
from age to age eternally.

to serve thee to the end;
be thou for ever near me,
my Saviour and my friend:
I shall not fear the struggle
if thou art by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if thou wilt be my guide.
2 Oh let me feel thee near me:
the world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me,
around me and within,
but, Jesus, draw thou nearer,
and shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear thee speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
oh speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
oh speak, and make me listen,
thou guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, thou hast promised
to all who follow thee,
that where thou art in glory
there shall thy servant be,
and, Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
oh give me grace to follow
my Saviour and my friend.

2 Lo! the hosts of evil round us
scorn thy Christ, assail his ways!

bend our pride to thy control;
shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
rich in things and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
lest we miss thy kingdom’s goal,
lest we miss thy kingdom’s goal.
4 Set our feet on lofty places;
gird our lives that they may be
armoured with all Christlike graces,
pledged to set all captives free.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
that we fail not them nor thee,
that we fail not them nor thee!
5 Save us from weak resignation
to the evils we deplore;
let the search for thy salvation
be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
serving thee whom we adore,
serving thee whom we adore. Used With Tune: CWN RHONDDA

The Tender Love a Father Has
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Servants of God Lyrics: 1 The tender love a father has
for all his children dear--
such love the Lord bestows on those
who worship him in fear.
2 The Lord remembers we are dust,
and all our frailty knows;
our life is like the tender grass,
and as the flower it grows.
3 The flower is withered by the wind
that smites with blighting breath;
so we are quickly swept away
before the blast of death.
4 Unchanging is the love of God,
from age to age the same,
displayed to all who do his will
and reverence his name.
5 Those who his gracious covenant keep
the Lord will ever bless;
their children's children shall rejoice
to see his righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 103 Used With Tune: TALLIS ORDINAL Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.

wind-sped flame and hovering dove,
breath of life and voice of prophets,
sign of blessing, power of love:
give to those who lead your people
fresh anointing of your grace;
send them forth as bold apostles
to your Church in every place.
2 Christ our Saviour, Sovereign, Shepherd,
Word made flesh, Love crucified,
teacher, healer, suffering Servant,
friend of sinners, foe of pride:
in your tending may all pastors*
learn and live a Shepherd’s care:
grant them courage and compassion
shown through word and deed and prayer.
3 Great Creator, Life-bestower,
Truth beyond all thought’s recall,
fount of wisdom, womb of mercy,
giving and forgiving all:
as you know our strength and weakness,
so may those the Church exalts
oversee its life steadfastly
yet not overlook its faults.
4 Triune God, mysterious Being,
undivided and diverse,
deeper than our minds can fathom,
greater than our creeds rehearse:
help us in our varied callings
your full image to proclaim,
that our ministries uniting
may give glory to your Name.
