Make Me a Captive, Lord

Author: George Matheson Hymnal: Hymns of Faith #362 (1980) 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.

Quisiera desplegar mis alas, oh Señor, mas solo lo podré lograr al soplo de tu amor. 4 Cautívame, Señor, que en ti mi voluntad tendrá un bautismo de vigor, firmeza y santidad. Podrá la tentación mi vida sacudir; no habrá más cierta protección que la que encuentre en ti.

Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906 Hymnal: Common Praise #518 (2000) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D 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 forged its chain; enslave it with thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign. 3 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 leant, and found in thee its life.

Make me a captive, Lord

Author: George Matheson (1842-1906) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #534 (2005) 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 power is faint and low till I have learned to serve; it lacks the needed fire to glow, it lacks the breeze to nerve; it cannot drive the world, until itself be driven; its flag can only be unfurled when thou shalt breathe from heaven. 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 leant and found in thee its life.
