Come, Holy Spirit, God and Lord!
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Martin Luther Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: Fellowship with God Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, God and Lord!
Be all Thy graces now outpoured
On the believer's mind and soul,
To strengthen, save and make us whole.
2 Lord, by the brightness of Thy light,
Thou in the faith dost men unite
Of every land and every tongue:
This to Thy praise, O Lord, be sung.
3 Thou Strong Defence, Thou holy Light,
Teach us to know our God aright,
And call Him Father from the heart:
The Word of life and truth impart:
4 That we may love not doctrines strange,
Nor e'er to other teachers range,
But Jesus for our Master own,
And put our trust in Him alone.
5 Thou sacred Ardor, Comfort sweet,
Help us to wait with ready feet
And willing heart at Thy command,
Nor trial fright us from Thy band.
6 Lord, make us ready with Thy powers;
Strengthen the flesh in weaker hours,
That as good warriors we may force
Through life and death to Thee our course!
Amen. Used With Tune: GERMANY

Still, still with thee, my God
Author: James D. Burns Appears in 158 hymnals Topics: Fellowship with God Used With Tune: DENNIS
Still, still with thee, my God
I think, when I read that sweet story of old
Author: Jemima Thompson Meter: 11.8.12.9 Appears in 863 hymnals Topics: Fellowship with God Lyrics: 1 I think, when I read that sweet story of old,
When Jesus was here among men,
How He called little children as lambs to His fold,
I should like to have been with them then.
2 I wish that His hands had been placed on my head,
His arms had been thrown around me,
And that I might have seen His kind look when He said,
"Let the little ones come unto me."
3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go;
And ask for a share in His love;
And if I thus earnestly seek Him below,
I shall see Him and hear Him above,--
4 In that beautiful place He is gone to prepare
For all who are washed and forgiven;
And many dear children are gathering there,
"For of such is the kingdom of heaven."
5 I long for the joys of that glorious time,
The sweetest, and brightest, and best,
When the dear little children of every clime
Shall crowd to His arms and be blessed.
Amen. Used With Tune: SWEET STORY
I think, when I read that sweet story of old
Welcome, sweet day of rest
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 773 hymnals Topics: Fellowship with God Lyrics: 1 Welcome, sweet day of rest,
That saw the Lord arise;
Welcome to this reviving breast
And these rejoicing eyes.
2 The King Himself comes near,
And feasts His saints to-day;
Here may we sit, and see Him here,
And love and praise and pray.
3 One day within the place
Where Christ, my Lord, has been,
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Within the tents of sin.
4 My willing soul would stay
In such a frame as this,
Till called to rise and soar away
To everlasting bliss.
Amen. Used With Tune: LISBON
Welcome, sweet day of rest
Great God, indulge my humble claim
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 272 hymnals Topics: Fellowship with God Lyrics: 1 Great God, indulge my humble claim:
Be Thou my hope, my joy, my rest;
The glories that compose Thy name
Stand all engaged to make me blest.
2 Thou great and good, Thou just and wise,
Thou art my Father and my God;
And I am Thine by sacred ties,
Thy child and servant, bought with blood.
3 With heart and eyes, and lifted hands,
For Thee I long, for Thee I look,
As travellers in thirsty lands
Pant for the cooling water-brook.
4 E'en life itself, without Thy love,
No lasting pleasures can afford:
Yea, 'twould but a tiresome burden prove,
If I were banished from Thee, Lord.
5 I'll lift my hands, I'll raise my voice,
While I have breath to pray or praise;
This work shall make my heart rejoice
Throughout the remnant of my days.
Amen. Used With Tune: WELLS

My God, accept my heart this day
Author: Matthew Bridges Appears in 263 hymnals Topics: Fellowship with God Lyrics: 1 My God, accept my heart this day,
And make it always Thine,
That I from Thee no more may stray,
No more from Thee decline.
2 Before the cross of Him who died,
Behold, I prostrate fall;
Let every sin be crucified,
And Christ be all in all!
3 Anoint me with Thy heavenly grace,
Adopt me for Thine own;
That I may see Thy glorious face,
And worship at Thy throne.
4 Let every thought, and work, and word,
To Thee be ever given:
Then life shall be Thy service, Lord,
And death the gate of heaven.
Amen. Used With Tune: DALEHURST
My God, accept my heart this day
Let me be Thine forever
Author: Matthias Loy; Nicolaus Selnecker Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: Fellowship with God Lyrics: 1 Let me be Thine forever,
My gracious God and Lord,
May I forsake Thee never,
Nor wander from Thy Word:
Preserve me from the mazes
Of error and distrust,
And I shall sing Thy praises
Forever with the just.
2 Lord Jesus! bounteous Giver
Of light and life divine,
Thou didst my soul deliver,
To Thee I all resign;
Thou hast in mercy bought me
With blood and bitter pain.
Let me, since Thou hast sought me,
Eternal life obtain.
3 O Holy Ghost, who pourest
Sweet peace into my heart,
And all my soul restorest,
Thy comfort ne'er depart:
Let me His name confessing
Whom I in faith have known,
Receive Thy constant blessing,
And be in death Thine own.
Amen.

Let me be Thine forever
Jesus, I my cross have taken
Author: Henry F. Lyte Appears in 1,325 hymnals Topics: Fellowship with God Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee;
Naked, poor, 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 Let the world despise and leave me,
They have left my Saviour too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me:
Thou art not, like them, untrue.
And while Thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate, and friends forsake me:
Show Thy face and all is bright.
3 Man may trouble an distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may pressume,
Heaven will bring me sweeter rest.
Oh, 'tis not in grief to harm me,
While thy love is left to me!
Oh,'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee!
4 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 r epine?
Amen. Used With Tune: ARMSTRONG
Jesus, I my cross have taken
Oh, that the Lord would guide my ways
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 386 hymnals Topics: Fellowship with God Lyrics: 1 Oh, that the Lord would guide my ways,
To keep His statutes still!
Oh, that my God would grant me grace
To know and do His will!
2 Order my footsteps by Thy word,
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.
3 Assist my soul, too apt to stray,
A stricter watch to keep;
And, should I e'er forget Thy way,
Restore Thy wandering sheep.
4 Make me to walk in Thy commands;
'Tis a delightful road:
Nor let my lips, or heart, or hands
Offend against my God.
Amen. Used With Tune: DOWNS
Oh, that the Lord would guide my ways
Not with our mortal eyes
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 114 hymnals Topics: Fellowship with God Lyrics: 1 Not with our mortal eyes
Have we beheld the Lord;
Yet we rejoice to hear His name,
And love Him in His word.
2 On earth we want the sight
Of our Redeemer's face;
Yet, Lord, our inmost thoughts delight
To dwell upon Thy grace.
3 And when we taste Thy love,
Our joys divinely grow
Unspeakable, like those above,
And Heaven begins below.
Amen. Used With Tune: CARLISLE
Not with our mortal eyes
