O Spirit come, our hearts inspire
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 235 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 3:6-7 First Line: O Spirit, come; our hearts inspire Lyrics: 1 O Spirit, come; our hearts inspire;
let us thine influence prove,
source of the old prophetic fire
and fount of life and love.
2 Come, Holy Spirit, for in thee
thy prophets wrote and spoke.
Unlock the truth, thyself the key;
unseal the sacred book.
3 Expand thy wings, celestial Dove;
brood o'er our nature's nght;
on our disordered spirit move,
and let there now be light.
4 God's very self we then shall know,
if thou within us shine,
and sound, with all thy saints
below the depths of love divine. Topics: Dove; God the Holy Spirit; Growth in Faith; Prophets; Truth Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL

My God, my heavenly King;
Let age to age thy righteousness
In sounds of glory sing.

His goodness to the skies:
Through the whole earth his bounty shines
And every want supplies.
3 With longing eyes thy creatures wait
On thee for daily food;
Thy liberal hand provides their meat,
And fills their mouth with good.
4 How kind are thy compassions, Lord!
How slow thine anger moves!
But soon he sends his pardoning word
To cheer the souls he loves. Topics: God: The Father Used With Tune: NOEL

How helpless fallen nature lies
Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 231 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 3:13 Lyrics: 1 How helpless fallen nature lies,
Unconscious of her load!
The heart unchanged can never rise
To happiness and God.
2 Can aught beneath a power divine
A stubborn will subdue?
'Tis thine, eternal Spirit, thine
To form the heart anew.
3 'Tis thine the passions to recall,
And bid them upward rise;
To make the scales of error fall
From reason's darkened eyes;--
4 To chase the shades of death away,
And bid the sinner live:
A beam of heaven, a vital ray,
'Tis thine alone to give.
5 Renew these wretched hearts of ours;
Oh, give us life divine!
Then shall our passions and our powers,
Almighty Lord, be thine.

Where we your parting promise claim,
assembled in your sacred name.

and come within our hearts to live.

when earth and heav'n shall melt away,
your flock, redeemed from sinful stain,
shall swell the sound of praise again. Topics: Opening of Service Used With Tune: ST. CHAD

Dost Thou not hear the cry?

Impatient of Thy stay,
Worn out with these long years of ill,
These ages of delay.

Build up this ruined earth;
Restore our faded Paradise,
Creation's second birth.

Of everlasting peace;
Come, take the Kingdom to Thyself,
Great King of Righteousness.

Jesus, Lord, to you we raise;
once revealed, when heaven's star
brought the wise men from afar;
branch of royal David's stem
in your birth at Bethlehem,
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man.
2 God revealed at Jordan's stream,
prophet, priest and king supreme;
once revealed in power divine
changing water into wine;
Cana's holy wedding guest
keeping to the last the best;
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man.
3 God revealed in valiant fight,
conquering the devil's might;
sins forgiven, sickness healed,
life restored and God revealed:
once revealed in gracious will
ever bringing good from ill,
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man.
4 Stars shall fall and heavens fade,
sun and moon shall dark be made;
Christ will then like lightning shine,
all will see the glorious sign;
all will then the trumpet hear,
all will see the Son appear,
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man. Topics: Jesus Christ Baptism Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR Text Sources: Jubilate Hymns, 1982, rev.
