We Give You But Your Own
Author: William Walsham How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 478 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10 Lyrics: 1 We give you but your own
in any gifts we bring:
all that we have is yours alone,
a trust from you, our King.
2 May we your bounties thus
as stewards true receive,
and gladly, Lord, as you bless us,
to you our firstfruits give.
3 To comfort and to bless,
to find a balm for woe,
to tend those lost in loneliness
is angels' work below.
4 The captive to release,
the lost to God to bring,
to teach the way of life and peace
it is a Christlike thing.
5 And we believe your Word,
though dim our faith may be.
Whate'er we do for you, O Lord,
we do it gratefully.

source of life and truth and grace,
Son of Man, whose birth incarnate
hallows all our human race;
great High Priest who, throned in glory,
for your own will ever plead,
fill us with your love and pity,
heal our wrongs, and help our need.
2 Lord, as you have lived for others,
so may we for others live;
freely have your gifts been granted,
freely may your servants give.
Yours the gold and yours the silver,
yours the wealth of sea and land,
we but stewards of your bounty
held in trust at your command.
3 Come, Lord Jesus, reign among us,
King of Love, and Prince of Peace;
hush the storm of strife and passion,
bid its cruel discords cease.
Yours the prayer, and yours the purpose,
that your people should be one:
grant from heaven, our hope’s fruition:
here on earth your will be done. Topics: Jesus Christ Mediator; Jesus Christ Son of Man; Life in Christ Christ Risen - Reign and Priesthood; Stewardship; Unity of Humanity Used With Tune: BLAENWERN

wrestle and fight and pray;
tread all the powers of darkness down
and win the well-fought day.

and fortify the whole;
till, having all things done,
and all your conflicts past,
you overcome through Christ alone
and stand complete at last.

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 509 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:16 Lyrics: 1 The Head that once was crowned with thorns
Is crowned with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty Victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heav'n affords
Is His, is His by right,
The King of kings and Lord of lords,
And heav'n's eternal Light;
3 The Joy of all who dwell above,
The Joy of all below
To whom He manifests His love
And grants His name to know.
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is giv'n;
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heav'n.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with Him above,
Their profit and their joy to know
The myst'ry of His love.
6 The cross He bore is life and health,
Though shame and death to Him:
His people's hope, His people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme.

What more can he say than to you he hath said,
to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

for I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
for I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
my grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
the flame shall not hurt thee, I only design
thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5 "The soul that on Jesus still leans for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake!"

Author: Charles William Everest (1814-1877) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 296 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:16 Lyrics: 1 'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said,
'if you would my disciple be;
take up your cross, with willing heart,
and humbly follow after me.'

fill your weak soul with vain alarm:
his strength shall bear your spirit up,
and brace your heart, and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
and let your foolish pride be still:
the Lord refused not even to die
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
and calmly every danger brave;
it guides you to a better home,
and leads to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Lent; Discipleship Used With Tune: BRESLAU

My Jesus, as Thou Wilt!
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Jane Laurie Borthwick Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 607 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:19 Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
O may Thy will be mine!
Into Thy hand of love
I would my all resign.
Through sorrow or through joy,
Conduct me as Thine own;
And help me still to say,
"My Lord, Thy will be done."
2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Though seen through many a tear,
Let not my star of hope
Grow dim or disappear.
Since Thou on earth hast wept,
And sorrowed oft alone,
If I must weep with Thee,
My Lord, Thy will be done.
3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
All shall be well for me;
Each changing future scene
I gladly trust with Thee.
Straight to my home above
I travel calmly on,
And sing, in life or death,
"My Lord, Thy will be done."
Amen. Topics: Assurance; Commitment; Faith; Submission; Trust; Life in Christ Faith and Assurance Used With Tune: JEWETT

Thou Judge of quick and dead
Author: C. Wesley Appears in 191 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:7 Lyrics: 1 Thou Judge of quick and dead,
Before whose bar severe,
With holy joy or guilty dread,
We all shall soon appear;
Our cautioned souls prepare
For that tremendous day,
And fill us now with watchful care,
And stir us up to pray:
2 To pray, and wait the hour,
That awful hour unknown,
When, robed in majesty and power,
Thou shalt from heaven come down.
Th' immortal Son of man,
To judge the human race,
With all thy Father's dazzling train,
With all thy glorious grace.
3 To damp our earthly joys,
To increase our gracious fears,
For ever let the archangel's voice
Be sounding in our ears
The solemn midnight cry,--
Ye dead, the Judge is come;
Arise, and meet him in the sky,
And meet your instant doom.
4 Oh, may we all be found
Obedient to thy word,
Attentive to the trumpet's sound,
And looking for our Lord.
Oh, may we thus ensure
A lot among the blest;
And watch a moment to secure
An everlasting rest.
