Like the Murmur of the Dove's Song
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7.6 Appears in 36 hymnals Scripture: John 15:5 Lyrics: 1 Like the murmur of the dove's song,
like the challenge of her flight,
like the vigor of the wind's rush,
like the new flame's eager might:
Come, Holy Spirit, come.
2 To the members of Christ's body,
to the branches of the Vine,
to the Church in faith assembled,
to her midst as gift and sign:
Come, Holy Spirit, come.
3 With the healing of division,
with the ceaseless voice of prayer,
with the power of love and witness,
with the peace beyond compare:
Come, Holy Spirit, come.

My Lord, I Did Not Choose You
Author: Josiah Conder Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 77 hymnals Scripture: John 15:16 Lyrics: 1 My Lord, I did not choose you,
for that could never be;
my heart would still refuse you,
had you not chosen me.
You took the sin that stained me,
you cleansed me, made me new;
of old you have ordained me,
that I should live in you.
2 Unless your grace had called me
and taught my opening mind,
the world would have enthralled me,
to heavenly glories blind.
My heart knows none above you;
for your rich grace I thirst.
I know that if I love you,
you must have loved me first.

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing (Fuente de la vida eterna)
Author: Robert Robinson, 1735-1790; Tomás M. Westrup, 1837-1909 Hymnal: Santo, Santo, Santo #394 (2019) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: John 15:1-8 First Line: Come, Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing (Fuente de la vida eterna) Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of ev'ry blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount– I'm fixed upon it–
Mount of God's unchanging love.
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by thy help I've come;
And I hope, by thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wand'ring from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed his precious blood.
3 Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace now like a fetter,
Bind my wand'ring heart to thee:
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it;
Seal it for thy courts above.

y de toda bendición,
ensalzar tu gracia tierna
quiere nuestro corazón.
Tu piedad inagotable,
abundante en perdonar;
único ser adorable,
gloria a ti debemos dar.
2 De los cánticos celestes,
te quisiéramos cantar,
entonados por las huestes
que lograste rescatar.
Almas que a buscar viniste,
porque les tuviste amor,
de ellas te compadeciste,
con tiernísimo favor.
3 Toma nuestros corazones,
llénalos de tu verdad;
de tu Espíritu los dones
y de toda santidad.
Guíanos en obediencia,
humildad, amor y fe,
nos ampare tu clemencia;

"The wondrous Cross"
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #206 (1888) Scripture: John 15:13 First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross,
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord! that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ, my God;
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to his blood.
3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 His dying crimson, like a robe,
Spreads o'er his body on the tree;
Then I am dead to all the globe,
And all the globe is dead to me.
5 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all. Topics: Christ Agony of; Christ Blood of; Christ Crucifixion of; Christ Prince of Glory; Christ Sufferings of; Consecration Of Self; Cross of Christ Taking; Christ Compassion of Languages: English Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM (OLD)
"The wondrous Cross"
Anonymous
Scripture: John 15:26 Author of "Come, Thou Almighty King" in Psalter Hymnal (Gray) In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Joseph Medlicott Scriven
1819 - 1886 Person Name: Joseph Scriven Scripture: John 15:15 Author of "What A Friend We Have in Jesus/Jin Shil Ha Shin Chin Goo" in The Presbyterian Hymnal Joseph M. Scriven (b. Seapatrick, County Down, Ireland, 1819; d. Bewdley, Rice Lake, ON, Canada, 1886), an Irish immigrant to Canada, wrote this text near Port Hope, Ontario, in 1855. Because his life was filled with grief and trials, Scriven often needed the solace of the Lord as described in his famous hymn.
Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, he enrolled in a military college to prepare for an army career. However, poor health forced him to give up that ambition. Soon after came a second blow—his fiancée died in a drowning accident on the eve of their wedding in 1844. Later that year he moved to Ontario, where he taught school in Woodstock and Brantford. His plans for marriage were dashed again when his new bride-to-be died after a short illness in 1855. Following this calamity Scriven seldom had a regular income, and he was forced to live in the homes of others. He also experienced mistrust from neighbors who did not appreciate his eccentricities or his work with the underprivileged. A member of the Plymouth Brethren, he tried to live according to the Sermon on the Mount as literally as possible, giving and sharing all he had and often doing menial tasks for the poor and physically disabled. Because Scriven suffered from depression, no one knew if his death by drowning in Rice Lake was suicide or an accident.

Scriven, Joseph. Mr. Sankey, in his My Life and Sacred Songs, 1906, p. 279, says that Scriven was b. in Dublin in 1820, was a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, and went to Canada when he was 25, and died there at Port Hope, on Lake Ontario, in 1886. His hymn:—
What a Friend we have in Jesus. [Jesus our Friend] was, according to Mr. Sankey, discovered to be his in the following manner: "A neighbour, sitting up with him in his illness, happened upon a manuscript of 'What a Friend we have in Jesus.' Reading it with great delight, and questioning Mr. Scriven about it, he said he had composed it for his mother, to comfort her in a time of special sorrow, not intending any one else should see it." We find the hymn in H. 1... Hastings's Social Hymns, Original and Selected, 1865, No. 242; and his Song of Pilgrimage, 1886, No. 1291, where it is attributed to "Joseph Scriven, cir. 1855." It is found in many modern collections.
