Take Thou our minds, dear Lord, we humbly pray
Author: Rev. William H. Foulkes Hymnal: The Hymnal #245 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Inner Life, The Lyrics: 1 Take Thou our minds, dear Lord, we humbly pray;
Give us the mind of Christ each passing day;
Teach us to know the truth that sets us free;
Grant us in all our thoughts to honor Thee.
2 Take Thou our hearts, O Christ, they are Thine own;
Come Thou within our souls and claim Thy throne;
Help us to shed abroad Thy deathless love;
Use us to make the earth like heaven above.
3 Take Thou our wills, Most High! Hold Thou full sway;
Have in our inmost souls Thy perfect way;
Guard Thou each sacred hour from selfish ease;
Guide Thou our ordered lives as Thou dost please.
4 Take Thou ourselves, O Lord, heart, mind, and will;
Through our surrendered souls Thy plans fulfill.
We yield ourselves to Thee— time, talents, all;
We hear, and henceforth heed, Thy sovereign call.
Amen. Tune Title: HALL
Take Thou our minds, dear Lord, we humbly pray
Immortal Love, within whose righteous will
Author: Rev. Stopford A. Brooke Hymnal: The Hymnal #303 (1950) Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Topics: Inner Life, The Lyrics: 1. Immortal Love, within whose righteous will
Is always peace,
O pity me, storm-tossed on waves of ill;
Let passion cease;
Come down in power within my heart to reign,
For I am weak, and struggle has been vain.
2. The days are gone when far and wide my will
Drove me astray;
And now I fain would climb the arduous hill,
That narrow way
Which leads through mist and rocks to Thine abode;
Toiling for man, and Thee, Almighty God.
3. Whate’er of pain Thy loving hand allot,
I gladly bear;
Only, O Lord, let peace be not forgot,
Nor yet Thy care,
Freedom from storms and wild desires within,
Peace from the fierce oppression of my sin.
4. So may I, far away, when evening falls
On life and love,
Arrive at last the holy, happy halls,
With Thee above—
Wounded yet healed, sin-laden yet forgiven,
And sure Thy goodness is my only heaven.
Amen. Tune Title: LUX BEATA
Immortal Love, within whose righteous will
My Gracious Lord, I Own Thy Right
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #313 (1957) Topics: Inner Life Lyrics: 1 My gracious Lord, I own Thy right
To every service I can pay,
And call it my supreme delight
To hear Thy dictates, and obey.
2 What is my being but for Thee,
Its sure support, its noblest end?
Thy ever smiling ace to see,
And serve the cause of such a Friend.
3 I would not breathe for worldly joy,
Or to increase my worldly good;
Nor future days nor powers employ
To spread a sounding name abroad.
4 ’Tis to my Saviour I would live,
To Him who for my ransom died;
Nor could untainted Eden give
Such bliss as blossoms at His side.
5 His work my hoary age shall bless,
When youthful vigour is no more;
And my last hour of life confess
His love hath animating power.
Amen.

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me
Author: Rev. John Wesley; Rev. Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: The Hymnal #314 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Inner Life, The Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy boundless love to me
No thought can reach, no tongue declare;
O knit my thankful heart to Thee,
And reign without a rival there!
Thine wholly, Thine alone, I'd live,
Myself to Thee entirely give.
2 O grant that nothing in my soul
May dwell, but Thy pure love alone;
O may Thy love possess me whole,
My joy, my treasure, and my crown!
All coldness from my heart remove;
May every act, word, thought, be love.
3 O Love, how gracious is Thy way!
All fear before Thy presence flies;
Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away,
Where'er Thy healing beams arise.
O Jesus, nothing may I see,
Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee.
Amen. Tune Title: STELLA
Jesus, Thy boundless love to me
Eternal Father, Strong to Save
Author: William Whiting, 1825-1878 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #316 (2011) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Inner Life Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm doth bind the restless wave,
Who bidst the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.
2 O Savior, Whose almighty word
The winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walkedst on the foaming deep
And calm amid the rage didst sleep:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.
3 O sacred Spirit, who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And badst its angry tumult cease,
And gavest light and life and peace:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and power,
Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them where-so-e'er they go;
And ever let there rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 107:24 Languages: English Tune Title: MELITA

And shall be evermore.

How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
Author: John Newton, 1725 - 1807 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #406 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary rest. A-men.
3 Dear Name! the rock on which I build,
My shield and hiding-place;
My never-failing treasury filled
With boundless stores of grace.
4 Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thought;
But, when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.
5 Till then I would thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of thy Name
Refresh my soul in death.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETER

My Heart Is Resting, O My God
Author: Anna Laetitia Waring Hymnal: The Hymnbook #406 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Inner Life, The Lyrics: 1 My heart is resting, O my God,
I will give thanks and sing;
My heart is at the secret source
Of every precious thing.
I thirst for springs of heavenly life,
And here all day they rise;
I seek the treasure of Thy love,
And close at hand it lies.
2 I have a heritage of joy,
That yet I must not see;
But the hand that bled to make it mine
Is keeping it for me.
And a new song is in my mouth,
To long-loved music set:
"Glory to Thee for all the grace
I have not tasted yet."
3 My heart is resting, O my God,
My heart is in Thy care;
I hear the voice of joy and health
Resounding everywhere.
"Thou art my portion, saith my soul,"
Ten thousand voices say,
And the music of their glad Amen
Will never die away.
Amen. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9 Tune Title: PENTATONE
My Heart Is Resting, O My God
