Take my lips, and let them be Filled with messages from thee. 4 Take my silver and my gold; Not a mite would I withhold Take my intellect, and use Ev'ry pow'r as thou shalt choose. 5 Take my will, and make it thine; It shall be no longer mine. Take my heart, it is thine own; It shall be thy royal throne. 6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour At thy feet its treasure-store. Take myself, and I will be Ever, only, all for thee. Amen.

Justice and equity

Author: Dr. Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: Duty to God And our neighbor First Line: Blessed redeemer how divine Lyrics: 1 Blessed redeemer how divine, How righteous is this rule of thine, "Never to deal with others worse "Than we would have them deal with us!" 2 This golden lesson, short and plain, Gives nor the mind nor memory pain: And every conscience must approve This universal law of love. 3 'Tis written in each mortal breast, Where all our tenderest wishes rest: We draw it from our inmost veins, Where love to self resides and reigns. 4 Is reason ever at a loss? Call in self-love to judge the cause: Let our own fondest passions shew How we should treat our neighbor too. 5 How bless'd would every nation prove, Thus rul'd by equity and love! All would be friends without a foe, And form a paradise below. 6 Jesus, forgive us, that we keep Thy sacred law of love asleep; And take our envy, wrath, and pride, Those savage passions, for our guide. Scripture: Matthew 7:12 Text Sources: Dr. Watts's Sermons

For the Healing of the Nations

Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Duty Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations, God, we pray with one accord; for a just and equal sharing of the things that earth affords. To a life of love in action help us rise and pledge our word. 2 Lead us forward into freedom, from despair your world release; that, redeemed from war and hatred, all may come and go in peace. Show us how through care and goodness fear will die and hope increase. 3 All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned; pride of status, race or schooling, dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice may we hallow life's brief span. 4 You, Creator God, have written your great name on humankind; for our growing in your likeness bring the life of Christ to mind, that by our response and service earth its destiny may find.
