Make Me a Captive, Lord

Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #326 (1957) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Aspiration and Consecration Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord, And then I shall be free; Force me to render up my sword, And I shall conqueror 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 it has leaned, And found in Thee its life. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: PARADOXY

Still sink thy spirits down? Cast off the weight, let fear depart, And every care be gone. He everywhere has sway, And all things serve His mind; His every act pure blessing is, His path unsullied light. 3 Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear, When fully He the work hath wrought That caused thy needless fear.

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: Henry F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #405 (1957) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Prayer and Watchfulness Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shalt be: Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, and hoped, and 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 man, untrue; And, while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends may shun me; Show Thy face, and all is bright. 3 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy ummixed with Thee. 4 Haste thee on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ELLESDIE
