Immortal Love, forever full

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807 - 92 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #476a (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Contemplation; The Life In Christ The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love, forever full, Forever flowing free, Forever shared, forever whole, A never-ebbing sea! 2 Our outward lips confess the Name All other names above; Love only knoweth whence it came, And comprehendeth love. 3 We may not climb the heavenly steeps To bring the Lord Christ down; In vain we search the lowest deeps, For him no depths can drown: 4 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet A present help is he; And faith has still its Olivet, And love its Galilee. 5 The healing of his seamless dress Is by our beds of pain; We touch him in life's throng and press, And we are whole again. 6 Through him the first fond prayers are said Our lips of childhood frame; The last low whispers of our dead Are burdened with his Name. 7 O Lord, and Master of us all, Whate'er our name or sign, We own thy sway, we hear thy call, We test our lives by thine.

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
