Come, Thou Fount of every blessing
Author: Robert Robinson Appears in 2,233 hymnals Topics: God Grace of ; God Mercies of Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise:
Teach me some melodious measure,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Fill my soul with sacred pleasure,
While I sing redeeming love.
2 Here I raise mine 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,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
3 O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee!
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it:
Prone to leave the God I love--
Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
Amen. Used With Tune: NETTLETON

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze, [Refrain]

Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in -
That on the cross my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin! [Refrain]

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art! [Refrain]

Lord, hear my call.
I love Thee, Lord, for Thou dost heed my plea,
Forgiving all.
If Thou shouldst mark our sins, who then shall stand?
But grace and mercy dwell at Thy right hand.

My hope relies;
My soul still waits and looks unto the Lord
Till light arise.
I look for Him to drive away my night,
Yea, more than watchmen look for morning light.

Will well provide;
For mercy and redemption full and free
With Him abide.
From sin and evil, mighty though they seem,
His arm almighty will His saints redeem. Scripture: Psalm 130 Used With Tune: SANDON

O God, we bear the imprint of your face

the colours of our skin are your design,
and what we have of beauty in our race
as man or woman, you alone define,
who stretched a living fabric on our frame
and gave to each a language and a name.
2 Where we are torn and pulled apart by hate
because our race, our skin is not the same;
while we are judged unequal by the state
and victims made because we own our name --
humanity reduced to little worth
dishonoured is Your living face on earth.
3 O God, we share the image of your Son
whose flesh and blood are ours, whatever skin,
in his humanity we find our own,
and in his family our proper kin:
Christ is the brother we still crucify,
his love the language we must learn, or die. Scripture: Acts 17:26 Used With Tune: SONG 1

Surrounded by a world of need
Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: God--in Jesus Christ Hope of the World Lyrics: 1 Surrounded by a world of need,
by men to heal, to house and feed,
our mind is given to despair,
and hope is undermined by war.
Yet through the fabric of our time
there runs the liberating theme
of love that makes the world go round,
of love creative and profound.
2 This love is in the face of Christ,
in human life, made manifest;
its strong intent will conquer all,
it raises people when they fall.
Then help us, Lord, to understand
the good your purpose put in man,
and use, to bring your reign about,
those in the church and those without. Used With Tune: ASKERSWELL

While the dew is still on the roses;
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses.

And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

Is so sweet the birds hush their singing;
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing. [Refrain]

Tho' the night around me be falling;
But He bids me go; thro' the voice of woe,
His voice to me is calling. [Refrain]
