Here I Am, Lord
O for a heart to praise my God
Author: C. Wesley (1707-1788) Appears in 1,176 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 6 Made New in Christ Lyrics: 1 O for a heart to praise my God —
a heart from sin set free,
a heart that's sprinkled with the blood
so freely shed for me.
2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
my great redeemer's throne;
where only Christ is heard to speak,
where Jesus reigns alone.
3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart,
believing, true, and clean,
which neither life nor death can part
from him who dwells within.
4 A heart in every thought renewed,
and full of love divine;
perfect and right and pure and good —
your life revealed in mine.
5 Your nature, gracious Lord, impart —
come quickly from above,
write your new name upon my heart,
your new best name of love! Scripture: Ezekiel 36:26 Used With Tune: ST. STEPHEN

O God of Mercy, God of Light
Author: Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #425 (1978) Meter: 8.8.8.6 Topics: Pentecost 6 Lyrics: 1 O God of mercy, God of light,
In love and mercy infinite,
Teach us, as ever in your sight,
To live our lives in you.
2 You sent your Son to die for all,
That our lost world might hear your call;
Oh, hear us, lest we stray and fall!
We rest our hope in you.
3 Teach us the lesson Jesus taught:
To feel for those his blood has bought,
That ev'ry deed and word and thought
May work a work for you.
4 For all are kindred, far and wide,
Since Jesus Christ for all has died;
Grant us the will, and grace provide
To love them all in you.
5 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care,
Each other's burdens help us share;
May we, where help is needed, there
Give help as though to you.
6 And may your Holy Spirit move
All those who live to live in love,
Till you receive in heav'n above
Those who have lived to you. Languages: English Tune Title: JUST AS I AM
O God of Mercy, God of Light
He lives in us, the Christ of God
Author: Michael Perry (born 1942) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #457a (1987) Topics: Pentecost 6 Made New in Christ Lyrics: 1 He lives in us, the Christ of God,
his Spirit joins with ours;
he brings to us the Father's grace
with powers beyond our powers.
And if enticing sin grows strong,
when human nature fails,
God's Spirit in our inner self
fights with us, and prevails.
3 Our pangs of guilt and fears of death
are Satan's stratagems —
by Jesus Christ who died for us
God pardons; who condemns?
And when we cannot feel our faith,
nor bring ourselves to pray,
the Spirit pleads with God for us
in words we could not say.
3 God gave his Son to save us all —
no other love like this!
then shall he ever turn away
from those he marks as his?
And God has raised him from the grave,
in this we stand assured;
so none can tear us from his love
in Jesus Christ our Lord. Scripture: Romans 8 Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL (IRONS)
