Prayer Is the Soul's Supreme Desire
Savior, Thy Dying Love
Author: Sylvanus D. Phelps Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 558 hymnals Scripture: Acts 9:6 Lyrics: 1 Savior, Thy dying love
Thou gavest me;
Nor should I aught withhold,
Dear Lord, from Thee.
In love my soul would bow,
My heart fulfil its vow,
Some off'ring bring Thee now,
Something for Thee.
2 O’er the blest mercy seat,
Pleading for me,
My feeble faith looks up,
Jesus, to Thee.
Help me the cross to bear,
Thy wondrous love declare,
Some song to raise or prayer,
Something for Thee.
3 Give me a faithful heart,
Likeness to Thee.
That each departing day
Henceforth may see
Some work of love begun,
Some deed of kindness done,
Some wand'rer sought and won,
Something for Thee.
4 All that I am and have,
Thy gifts so free,
In joy, in grief, through life,
O Lord, for Thee!
And when Thy face I see,
My ransomed soul shall be
Thro' all eternity,
Something for Thee.
Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) Consecration Used With Tune: WINTERTON
Savior, Thy Dying Love
The Christian awakened—What must I do to be saved?
Author: Fawcett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 40 hymnals Scripture: Acts 9:6 First Line: With melting Heart, and weeping Eyes Lyrics: 1 With melting Heart, and weeping Eyes,
My guilty soul for mercy cries;
What shall I do or whither flee,
T'escape that vengeance due to me?
2 'Till now, I saw no danger nigh;
I liv'd at ease, nor fear'd to die;
Wrapt up in self-deceit and pride,
"I shall have peace at last," I cry'd.
3 But when, great God, thy light divine
Had shone on this dark soul of mine,
Then, I beheld with trembling awe,
The terrors of thy holy law.
4 How dreadful now, my guilt appears,
In childhood, youth and growing years!
Before thy pure descerning eye,
Lord, what a filthy wretch as I!
5 Shall vengeance sill my soul pursue,
Death and destruction are my due;
Yet mercy can my guilt forgive,
And bid a dying sinner live.
6 Does not thy sacred word proclaim
Salvation free in Jesu's name?
To him I look and humbly cry,
"O save a wretch condemn'd to die!"

We Sing the Glorious Conquest
Author: John Ellerton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Acts 9:1-7 Lyrics: 1 We sing the glorious conquest
before Damascus gate,
when Saul, the church's spoiler,
came breathing threats and hate;
the rav'ning wolf rushed forward
full early to the prey;
but lo! the Shepherd met him,
and bound him fast today.
2 O glory most excelling
that smote across his path!
O light that pierced and blinded
the zealot in his wrath!
O voice that spake unto him
the calm, reproving word!
O love that sought and held him
the bondman of his Lord!
3 O Wisdom ord'ring all things
in order strong and sweet,
what nobler spoil was ever
cast at the victor's feet?
What wiser master-builder
e'er wrought at your employ
than he, till now so furious
your building to destroy?
4 Lord, teach your church the lesson,
still in her darkest hour
of weakness and of danger,
to trust your hidden pow'r:
your grace by ways mysterious
the wrath of man can bind,
and in your boldest foeman
your chosen saint can find.

Christ is alive! Let Christians sing
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Scripture: Acts 9:5 Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing.
The cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring.
Love, drowned in death, shall never die.

to distant years in Palestine,
but saving, healing, here and now,
and touching every place and time.

where colour, scorn, or wealth divide,
Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
and lives, where even hope has died.
4 Women and men, in age and youth,
can feel the Spirit, hear the call,
and find the way, the life, the truth,
revealed in Jesus, freed for all.

good news to this and every age,

with joy, with justice, love, and praise. Topics: Christ Risen Resurrection and Exaltation; Social Concern; Unity of Humanity Used With Tune: OLD CLARENDONIAN

Power of Divine Love
Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Acts 9:6 First Line: If God had bid his thunders roll Lyrics: 1 If GOD had bid his thunder roll,
And lightnings flash, to blast my soul,
I still had stubborn been:
But mercy has my heart subdu'd,
A bleeding Saviour I have view'd,
And now I hate my sin.
2 Now, Lord, I would be thine alone,
Come take possession of thine own,
For thou hast set me free;
Releas'd from Satan's hard command,
See all my pow'rs in waiting stand,
To be employ'd by thee.
3 My will conform'd to thine would move,
On thee my hope, desire, and love,
In fix'd attention join;
My hands, my eyes, my ears, my tongue,
Have Satan's servants been too long,
But now they shall be thine.
4 And can I be the very same,
Who lately durst blaspheme thy name,
And on thy gospel tread?
Surely each one who hears my case,
Will praise thee, and confess thy grace
Invincible indeed! Topics: Love Divine

Christ, the true, the only light;
Sun of Righteousness, arise;
triumph o'er the shades of night;
Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
unaccompanied by thee;
joyless is the day's return
till thy mercy's beams I see;
till they inward light impart,
cheer my eyes and warm my heart.
3 Visit then this soul of mine;
pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, radiancy divine;
scatter all my unbelief;
more and more thyself display,
shining to the perfect day.
