O Jesus, Thou hast promised To all who follow Thee, That where Thou art in glory, There shall Thy servant be; And, Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; O give me grace to follow My Master and my friend! 3. O let me feel Thee near me! The world is ever near; I see the sights that dazzle, The tempting sounds I hear; My foes are ever near me, Around me and within; But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer and shield my soul from sin. 4. O let me hear Thee speaking In accents clear and still, Above the storms of passion, The murmurs of self-will. O speak to reassure me, To hasten or control! O speak, and make me listen, Thou guardian of my soul! Used With Tune: ANGEL'S STORY

Birken Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Luke 18:31-34 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I will ponder now On Thy holy Passion; With Thy Spirit me endow For such meditation. Grant that I in love and faith May the image cherish Of Thy suff'ring, pain, and death That I may not perish. 2 Make me see Thy great distress, Anguish, and affliction, Bonds and stripes and wretchedness And Thy crucifixion; Make me see how scourge and rod, Spear and nails, did wound Thee, How for man Thou diedst, O God, Who with thorns had crowned Thee. 3 Yet, O Lord, not thus alone Make me see Thy Passion, But its cause to me make known And its termination. Ah! I also and my sin Wrought Thy deep affliction; This indeed the cause hath been Of Thy crucifixion. 4 Grant that I Thy Passion view With repentant grieving Nor Thee crucify anew By unholy living. How could I refuse to shun Ev'ry sinful pleasure Since for me God's only Son Suffered without measure? 5 If my sins give me alarm And my conscience grieve me, Let Thy cross my fear disarm, Peace of conscience give me. Grant that I may trust in Thee And Thy holy Passion. If His Son so loveth me, God must have compassion. 6 Grant that I may willingly Bear with Thee my crosses, Learning humbleness of Thee, Peace mid pain and losses. May I give Thee love for love! Hear me, O my Savior, That I may in heaven above Sing Thy praise forever. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Used With Tune: JESU KREUZ, LEIDEN UND PEIN

O may we ever praise him with heart and life and voice, and in his blissful presence eternally rejoice.

Before the Dawn Had Broken

Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Luke 18:17 Lyrics: 1 Before the dawn had broken, before God's lamp was spent, a boy heard someone calling and wondered what it meant. The old priest reassured him, so Samuel, without fear, said, ""God, your servant listens, and waits, your word to hear."" 2 A young lad went to battle a giant ten feet tall, while others watched and trembled, and thought to see him fall. Said David, ""God protects me; I come in God's own name."" God helped him save the people, by faith make good his claim. 3 The soldier was a leper who thought his doom was sure, but then a young girl told him, "God's prophet has a cure." She sent him to Elisha who showed him what to do. and he, made whole and healthy, saw he could trust God too. 4 The multitude was hungry. “We have no food,” they said. A little boy came forward to share his fish and bread. “It is enough,” said Jesus, “this gift of love will last.” He blessed the loaves and fishes, and no one had to fast. 5 A child becomes a prophet, a shepherd boy a king, a maid, a means of healing. a boy, of offering. May we have faith like children, like them come to believe that when we trust love’s power great blessings we receive. Topics: Children in the Bible Used With Tune: CHILD-LIKE FAITH
