Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,347 hymnals Topics: Commitment, Dedication, Consecration, Devotion Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shall be. Perish ev'ry fond ambition, All I've sought or hoped or known; Yet how rich is my condition: God and heav'n are still my own! 2 Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Savior, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me, Thou art not, like man, untrue. And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love and might, Foes may hate, and friends may shun me: Show Thy face, and all is bright. 3 Haste thee on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heav'n's eternal days before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Used With Tune: ELLESDIE

Take Time to Be Holy

Author: William D. Longstaff (1822-1894) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 346 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Dedication and Consecration Lyrics: 1 Take time to be holy, Speak oft with thy Lord; Abide in Him always, And feed on His word. Make friends of God's children; Help those who are weak; Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek. 2 Take time be holy, The world rushes on; Much time spend in secret With Jesus alone; By looking to Jesus, Like Him thou shalt be; Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see. 3 Take time to be holy, Let Him be thy Guide, And run not before Him, Whatever betide; In joy or in sorrow, Still follow thy Lord, And, looking to Jesus, Still trust in His Word. 4 Take time to be holy, Be calm in thy soul; Each thought and each motive Beneath His control; Thus led by His Spirit To fountains of love, Thou soon shalt be fitted For service above. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 16:8 Used With Tune: LONGSTAFF

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart

Author: Mary Byrne; Eleanor Hull; Helga Rusche; Flossette Du Pasquier Appears in 176 hymnals Topics: Dedication Lyrics: ENGLISH - 1 Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me Save that Thou art. Thou my best tho't, By day or by night, Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light! 2 Be Thou my wisdom, Thou my true Word; I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord; Thou my great Father, I Thy true son; Thou in me dwelling, And I with Thee one. 3 Be thou my battle-shield, Sword for the fight; Be thou my dignity, Thou my delight. Thou my soul's shelter, Thou my high tow'r; Raise Thou me heav'nward, O pow'r of my pow'r. 4 Riches I heed not, Nor man's empty praise, Thou mine inheritance, Now and always: Thou and Thou only, First in my heart, High King of heav'n, My treasure Thou art. 5 High King of heaven, After victory won May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'n's son! Heart of my own heart, Whatever befall Still be my vision, O Ruler of all. --- GERMAN - 1 Herr meines Herzens, Gib du auf mich acht! Ohne dich bleib ich in Nebel und Nacht! Ohne dich sind die Gedanken verwirrt. Sei gegenwärtig, Mein Heiland und Hirt! 2 Ewige Weisheit, Wahrhaftiges Wort! Heiliger Vater, Mein Herr hier und dort! Hilf uns zur Kindschaft Und eine die Welt, Die mit sich selber In Feindschaft zerfällt. 3 Gib uns die Würde, Die jeder verlor! Führ uns zur Heimat Und öffne das Tor; Zuflucht gewähre Dem den du befreit! Herr, mein Erretter, Mein Schutzherr im Streit! 4 Kostbar ist, König, Was du uns getan! Mit neuen Augen Seh'n wir es jetzt an. Leer ist dagegen, Was Menschen erdacht, Reichtum und Ehre Vergeh'n über Nacht. 5 Herrscher der Himmel, Bei dem aller Krieg Unter dem Wort sich Verwandelt in Sieg! Herr meines Herzens, Wie gern bin ich dein! Ohne dich wär'ich Verwirrt und allein. --- FRENCH - 1 Qu'en toi je vive, Seigneur bienaimé, O source vive de félicité, Qu'à toi je pense Le jour et la nuit, Car ta clémence Toujours me bénit. 2 Dieu, ta sagesse Rayonne sur moi: Le malme presse, Toujours garde-moi; Pére, fais grâce, Pardonne à ton fils, Montre ta face, Vis en mon esprit. 3 Lorsque je ploie Sois mon ferme appui, Donne ta joie, Sois mon sûr abri, Ma forteresse, Mon seul bouclier, De la détresse Tu sais me garder. 4 Fuir la richesse, Les propos flatteurs, Dans l'allégresse Servir le Seigneur: Mon bien suprême C'est lui, mon Sauveur, Cr si je l'aime, Il vit dans mon cœur. 5 A toi la gloire, Seigneur notre Dieu, Car ta victoire Nous ouvre les cieux. Fais, ô bon Maître, Toujours en tous lieux, A tous connaitre Ton nom glorieux. Used With Tune: SLANE Text Sources: Ancient Irish

Songs of Spirit

Author: Marion Franklin Ham, 1868-1956 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Dedication of a Building First Line: Songs of spirit, like a prayer Lyrics: 1 Songs of spirit, like a prayer breathing in the ambient air; singing in the morning light, in the radiance of the day, in the twilight shadows gray, in the brooding hush of night; dark or light, or storm, or fair — singing, singing everywhere. 2 In the burgeoning of spring, in the summer’s scented bloom, in the autumn’s mellow glow, in the winter’s ice and snow; shade, or shine, or joy, or gloom, as the seasons come and go, break and bare, or blossoming — still the songs that sing and sing! 3 Singing, singing everywhere, at the heart of everything, in my soul I hear them sing; mystic music of the spheres; songs that, with my utmost art, I can only catch in part; broken echoes, cold and bare, of the songs my spirit hears. Used With Tune: SERVETUS
