O Jesus, Thou Art Standing
Author: William Walsham How Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #492 (1990) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Heart Surrendered Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, thou art standing
outside the fast-closed door,
in lowly patience waiting
to pass the threshold o'er:
shame on us, Christian brothers,
his name and sign who bear,
O shame, thrice shame upon us,
to keep him standing there!
2 O Jesus, thou art knocking;
and lo, that hand is scarred,
and thorns thy brow encircle,
and tears thy face have marred:
O love that passeth knowledge,
so patiently to wait!
O sin that hath no equal,
so fast to bar the gate!
3 O Jesus, thou art pleading
in accents meek and low,
"I died for you, my children,
and will ye treat me so?"
O Lord, with shame and sorrow
we open now the door;
dear Savior, enter, enter,
and leave us nevermore.

O Jesus, Thou Art Standing
Make Me a Captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #687 (1990) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: Heart Surrendered Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord,
and then I shall be free;
force me to render up my sword,
and I shall conqu'ror 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.
3 My pow'r 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 driv'n;
its flag can only be unfurled
when thou shalt breathe from heav'n.
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 I have leaned,
and found in thee its life.
Scripture: Matthew 10:39 Languages: English Tune Title: PARADOXY
Make Me a Captive, Lord
