Come, O Fount of Every Blessing
Eternal Ruler of the Ceaseless Round
Author: John White Chadwick Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 124 hymnals Topics: Church in the World Discipleship: Call Lyrics: 1 Eternal ruler of the ceaseless round
of circling planets singing on their way,
guide of the nations from the night profound
into the glory of the perfect day:
rule in our hearts, that we may live ever new,
guided and strengthened and upheld by you.
2 We are your own, the children of your love,
as dearly loved as your beloved Son;
descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove,
and rule our hearts, that we may be as one:
as one with you, to whom we ever tend;
as one with Christ, our Saviour and our friend.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,
one in our love of all things kind and fair,
one with the joy that finds a voice in song
one with the grief that trembles into prayer,
one in the power that makes your children free
to follow truth, and thus in you to be.
4 O clothe us with your heavenly armour, Lord,
your trusty shield and sword of love be ours;
our inspiration be your constant word;
we ask no victories that are not yours:
give or withhold, let pain or pleasure fall;
to know that we are serving you is all. Used With Tune: SONG 1

Lord, Speak to Me
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 459 hymnals Topics: Church in the World Discipleship: Love in Action First Line: Lord, speak to me, that I may speak Lyrics: 1 Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
in living echoes of your tone;
as you have sought, so let me seek
your straying children lost and lone.
2 O lead me, so that I may lead
the wandering and the wavering feet;
O feed me, so that I may feed
your hungering ones with manna sweet.
3 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
the precious truths which you impart;
and wing my words, that they may reach
the hidden depths of many a heart.
4 O fill me with your fullness, Lord,
until my very heart o'erflows
in kindling thought and glowing word,
your love to tell, your praise to show. Used With Tune: WINSCOTT

O Christian, Love
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 149 hymnals Topics: Church in the World Discipleship: Love in Action First Line: O Christian, love your sister and your brother! Lyrics: 1 O Christian, love your sister and your brother!
Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there;
to worship rightly is to love each other,
each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer.
2 Follow with reverent steps the great example:
Jesus whose holy work was doing good;
so shall the wide earth seem a hallowed temple,
each loving life a psalm of gratitude.
4 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangour
of wild war-music o'er the earth shall cease;
love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger,
and in its ashes plant the tree of peace. Used With Tune: WELWYN
O Christian, Love

Author: John Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,285 hymnals Topics: Church in the World Discipleship: Love in Action Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love;
the unity of heart and mind
is like to that above.
2 Before our Maker’s throne
we pour our ardent prayers;
our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
our comforts and our cares.
3 We share each other's woes,
each other's burdens bear;
and often for each other flows
the sympathizing tear.
4 The glorious hope revives
our courage on the way;
that we shall live in perfect love
in God's eternal day. Used With Tune: DENNIS

and purge away my sin;
from selfish passions set me free,

by anxious thoughts oppressed;
let me your loving servant be
and taste your promised rest.
3 O Jesus, think on me,
nor let me go astray;
through darkness and perplexity
point out your chosen way.
4 O Jesus, think on me,
that when the flood is past,
I may the eternal brightness see
and share your joy at last. Used With Tune: SOUTHWELL

Dear God, Who Loves All Humankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 509 hymnals Topics: Church in the World Renewal: Healing Lyrics: 1 Dear God, who loves all humankind,
forgive our foolish ways;
reclothe us in our rightful mind;
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word,
rise up, and follow thee.
3 O sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love!
4 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace.
5 Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind and fire,
O still, small voice of calm! Used With Tune: REST
Dear God, Who Loves All Humankind
God of Freedom, God of Justice
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Peace and Justice Lyrics: 1 God of freedom, God of justice,
you whose love is strong as death,
you who saw the dark of prison,
you who knew the price of faith:
touch our world of sad oppression
with your Spirit's healing breath.
2 Rid the earth of torture's terror,
you whose hands were nailed to wood;
hear the cries of pain and protest,
you who shed the tears and blood:
move in us the power of pity
restless for the common good.
3 Make in us a captive conscience
quick to hear, to act, to plead;
make us truly sisters, brothers
of whatever race or creed:
teach us to be fully human,
open to each other's need. Used With Tune: PICARDY
