Angels of Jesus, angels of light

Author: Frederick William Faber, 1814 - 63 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #498 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Pilgrimage; The Life In Christ Contemplation First Line: Hark! hark, my soul! angelic songs are swelling Lyrics: 1 Hark! hark, my soul! angelic songs are swelling O’er earth’s green fields and ocean’s wave-beat shore; How sweet the truth those blessed strains are telling Of that new life when sin shall be no more! Refrain: Angels of Jesus, angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night! 2 Onward we go, for still we hear them singing, 'Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come;' And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing, The music of the Gospel leads us home. [Refrain] 3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing, The voice of Jesus sounds o’er land and sea, And laden souls, by thousands, meekly stealing, Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to thee. [Refrain] 4 Rest comes at length; though life be long and dreary, The day must dawn, and darksome night be past; Faith’s journeys end in welcome to the weary, And heaven, the heart’s true home, will come at last. [Refrain] 5 Angels, sing on, your faithful watches keeping, Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above, Till morning’s joy shall end the night of weeping, And life’s long shadows break in cloudless love. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: PILGRIMS

Make me a captive, Lord

Author: George Matheson, 1842 - 1906 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #508 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ The Inner Life; The Life In Christ Consecration Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord, And then I shall be free; Force me to render up my sword, And I shall conqueror be. I sink in life's alarms When by myself I stand; Imprison me within thine arms, And strong shall be my hand. 2 My heart is weak and poor Until it master find; It has no spring of action sure, It varies with the wind. It cannot freely move Till Thou hast wrought its chain; Enslave it with thy matchless love, And deathless it shall reign. A-men. 3 My power is faint and low Till I have learned to serve; It wants the needed fire to glow, It wants the breeze to nerve; It cannot drive the world Until itself be driven; Its flag can only be unfurled When Thou shalt breathe from heaven. 4 My will is not my own Till thou hast made it thine; If it would reach a monarch's throne It must its crown resign; It only stands unbent Amid the clashing strife, When on thy bosom it has leant And found in thee its life. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: LEOMINSTER

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793 - 1847 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #512a (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Service; The Life In Christ Consecration Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition, God and heaven are still my own. 2 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest. O, 'tis not in grief to harm me, While thy love is left to me; O, 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with thee. 3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin and fear and care; Joy to find, in every station, Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Saviour died to win thee; Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 4 Haste then on from grace to glory, Armed by faith, and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thine earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: SERAPHIM

Come down, O Love divine

Author: Richard Frederick Littledale, 1833 - 90; Bianco da Siena, d.1434 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #123 (1958) Meter: 6.6.11 D Topics: The Life in Christ Aspiration; The Life In Christ The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine, Seek thou this soul of mine, And visit it with thine own ardor glowing; O Comforter, draw near, Within my heart appear, And kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing. 2 O let it freely burn, Till earthly passions turn To dust and ashes in its heat consuming; And let thy glorious light Shine ever on my sight, And clothe me round, the while my path illuming. 3 Let holy charity Mine outward vesture be, And lowliness become mine inner clothing; True lowliness of heart Which takes the humbler part, And o'er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing. 4 And so the yearning strong, With which the soul will long, Shall far outpass the power of human telling; For none can guess its grace, Till he become the place Wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.
