My God! permit me not to be
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #434 (1899) Topics: Communion With Christ Lyrics: 1 My God! permit me not to be
A stranger to myself and Thee:
Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove,
Forgetful of my highest love.
2 Why should my passions mix with earth,
And thus debase my heavenly birth?
Why should I cleave to things below,
And let my God, my Saviour, go?
3 Call me away from flesh and sense;
Thy sovereign word can draw me thence:
I would obey the voice divine,
And all inferior joys resign.
4 Be earth, with all her cares, withdrawn;
Let noise and vanity be gone;
In secret silence of the mind,
My heaven, and there my God, I find.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ROSE HILL

Fellowship with God
Hymnal: The Psalter #28 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christ Communion with First Line: When in the night I meditate Lyrics: 1 When in the night I meditate
On mercies multiplied,
My grateful heart inspires my tongue
to b less the Lord, my Guide.

Before my face shall stand;
Secure, unmoved, I shall remain,
With Him at my right hand.
3 My inmost being thrills with joy
And gladness fills my breast;
Because on Him my trust is stayed,
My flesh in hope shall rest.
4 I know that I shall not be left
Forgotten in the grave,
And from corruption, Thou, O Lord,
Thy holy one wilt save.
5 The path of life Thou showest me;
Of joy a boundless store
Is ever found at Thy right hand,
and pleasures evermore. Scripture: Psalm 16 Languages: English Tune Title: MAITLAND

O Lord, My God, Most Earnestly
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #118 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Communion with Christ First Line: O Lord, my God, mot earnestly Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my God, most earnestly
My heart would seek Thy face,
Within Thy holy house once more
To see Thy glorious grace.
Apart from Thee I long and thirst,
And nought can satisfy;
I wander in a desert land
Where all the streams are dry.
2 The lovingkindness of my God
Is more than life to me;
So I will bless Thee while I live
And lift my prayer to Thee.
In Thee my soul is satisfied,
My darkness turns to light,
And joyful meditations fill
The watches of the night.
3 My Savior, 'neath Thy sheltering wings
My soul delights to dwell;
Still closer to Thy side I press,
For near Thee all is well.
My soul shall conquer every foe,
Upholden by Thy hand;
Thy people shall rejoice in God,
Thy saints in glory stand. Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English Tune Title: THE GREEN HILL

Her burdens to remove:

Refresh me with Thy love.
4 Then, Jesus, glory, honor, praise,
I'll ever sing to Thee:
And Thou at last my soul wilt raise
To endless joys with Thee.

"I will come to you"
Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: Laudes Domini #385 (1890) Topics: Love, and Communion With Christ First Line: Come, Jesus, Redeemer, abide thou with me Lyrics: 1 Come, Jesus, Redeemer, abide thou with me;
Come, gladden my spirit that waiteth for thee;
Thy smile every shadow shall chase from my heart,
And soothe every sorrow though keen be the smart.
2 Without thee but weakness, with thee I am strong;
By day thou shalt lead me, by night be my song;
Though dangers surround me, I still every fear,
Since thou, the Most Mighty, my Helper, art near.
3 Thy love, oh, how faithful! so tender, so pure!
Thy promise, faith's anchor, how steadfast and sure!
That love, like sweet sunshine, my cold heart can warm,
That promise make steady my soul in the storm.
4 Breathe, breathe on my spirit, oft ruffled, thy peace:
From restless, vain wishes, bid thou my heart cease;
In thee all its longings henceforward shall end,
Till, glad, to thy presence my soul shall ascend.
5 Oh, then, blessed Jesus, who once for me died,
Made clean in the fountain that gushed from thy side,
I shall see thy full glory, thy face shall behold,
And praise thee with raptures for ever untold! Languages: English Tune Title: MAGILL
"I will come to you"
Thou Shepherd of Israel divine
Author: Charles Wesley; John Wesley Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #431 (1899) Topics: Communion With Christ Lyrics: 1 Thou Shepherd of Israel divine,
The joy and desire of my heart,
For closer communion I pine,
I long to reside where Thou art:
The pasture I languish to find,
Where all, who their Shepherd obey,
Are fed, on Thy boson reclined,
And screened from the heat of the day.
2 Ah! show me that happiest place,
That place of Thy people's abode,
Where saints in an ecstasy gaze,
And hang on a crucified God!
Thy love for a sinner declare,
Thy passion and death on the tree;
My spirit to Calvary bear,
To suffer and triumph with Thee.
3 'Tis there with the lambs of Thy flock,
There only I covet to rest,
To lie at the foot of the Rock,
Or rise to be hid in Thy breast;
'Tis there I would always abide,
And never a moment depart;
Concealed in the cleft of Thy side,
Eternally held in Thy heart.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ENON'S ISLE
Thou Shepherd of Israel divine
Abide with me; Fast Falls the Eventide
Author: Rev. Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #455 (1934) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Communion with Christ Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE
Abide with me; Fast Falls the Eventide
O Christ, our God, who with Thine own hast been
Author: Canon G. H. Bourne, 1840- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #463 (1917) Topics: Communion With Christ Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our God, who with Thine own hast been,
Our spirits cleave to Thee, the Friend unseen.
2 Vouchsafe that all who on Thy bounty feed
May heed Thy love, and prize Thy gifts indeed.
3 Make every heart that is Thy dwelling-place
A watered garden filled with fruits of grace.
4 Each holy purpose help us to fulfil;
Increase our faith to feed upon Thee still.
5 Illuminate our minds, that we may see
In all around us holy signs of Thee.
6 And may such witness in our lives appear,
That all may know Thou hast been with us here.
7 O grant us peace, that by Thy peace possessed,
Thy life within us we may manifest.
8 So shall we pass our days in holy fear,
In joyful consciousness that Thou art near.
9 So shalt Thou be for ever, loving Lord,
Our Shield and our exceeding great Reward.

O Christ, our God, who with Thine own hast been
E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.II (1766) Topics: Communion with Christ and Saints Lyrics: 1 E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad,
From Everlasting was the Word;
With God he was; the Word was God,
And must divinely be ador'd.
2 By his own Pow'r were all Things made;
By him supported all Things stand;
He is the whole Creation's Head,
And Angels fly at his Command.
3 E'er Sin was born, or Satan fell,
He led the Host of Morning-Stars;
(Thy Generation who can tell,
Or count the Numbers of thy Years?)
4 But lo, he leaves those Heav'nly Forms,
The Word descends and dwells in Clay,
That he may hold Converse with Worms,
Drest in such feeble Flesh as they.
5 Mortals with Joy beheld his Face,
Th' Eternal Father's only Son;
How full of Truth! how full of Grace!
When thro' his Eyes the Godhead shone!
6 Arch-Angels leave their high Abode,
To learn new Myst'ries here, and tell
The Loves of our descending God,
The Glories of EMANUEL.
Scripture: John 1:1 Languages: English
E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad
The Guardian Care of God
Hymnal: The Psalter #52 (1912) Topics: Christ Communion with First Line: Thou, Jehovah, art my Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Thou, Jehovah, art my Shepherd,
Therefore I no want shall know;
In green pastures Thou dost rest me,
Leadest where still waters flow,
And, when fainting,
Sweet refreshment dost bestow.
2 For Thy Name's sake, Thou dost guide me
In the paths of righteousness;
Tho' I walk the vale of shadows,
Fears no more my soul oppress;
Thou art with me,
With Thy rod and staff to bless.
3 Thou preparest me a table
In the presence of the foe;
Thou my head with oil anointest,
Yea, my cup doth overflow,
O my Saviour,
Having Thee, no want I know.
4 Surely grace and loving-kindness
Shall forever follow me,
Till, my days of life all ended,
Evermore my home shall be,
O Jehovah, In Thy holy house with Thee. Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: CORONÆ
