for thee all the follies of sin I resign;
my gracious Redeemer, my Savior art thou;
if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
2 I love thee because thou hast first loved me
and purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree;

If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

Spirit of God, Who Dwells within My Heart
Author: George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals Topics: Love Our Love to God; Love Our Love to God Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, who dwells within my heart,
wean it from sin, through all its pulses move.
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as you are,
and make me love you as I ought to love.
2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
no sudden rending of the veil of clay,
no angel visitant, no opening skies;
but take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Did you not bid us love you, God and King,
love you with all our heart and strength and mind?
I see the cross– there teach my heart to cling.
O let me seek you and O let me find!
4 Teach me to feel that you are always nigh;
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
teach me the patience of unceasing prayer.
5 Teach me to love you as your angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame:
the fullness of the heaven-descended Dove;
my heart an altar, and your love the flame.
Scripture: Psalm 51:10-12 Used With Tune: MORECAMBE

The Lord Jehovah reigns
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 267 hymnals Topics: Our Love to God Lyrics: 1 The Lord Jehovah reigns,
his throne is built on high;
the garments he assumes
are light and majesty:
his glories shine with beams so bright
no mortal eye can bear the sight.
2 The thunders of his hand
keep the wide world in awe;
his wrath and justice stand
to guard his holy law;
and where his love resolves to bless
his truth confirms and seals his grace.
3 Through all his ancient works
amazing wisdom shines,
confounds the powers of hell
and breaks their cursed designs;
strong is his arm, and shall fulfil
his great decrees, his sovereign will.
4 And can this mighty King
of Glory condescend?
And will he write his name
My Father and my Friend?
I love his name, I love his word;
join, all my powers, and praise the Lord. Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:13-16 Used With Tune: ST JOHN

There is a green hill far away
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-95 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 695 hymnals Topics: Our Love to God Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away,
outside a city wall,
where the dear Lord was crucified,
who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell,
what pains he had to bear,
but we believe it was for us
he hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiven,
he died to make us good,
that we might go at last to heaven,
saved by his precious blood.
4 There was no other good enough
to pay the price of sin,
he only could unlock the gate
of heaven, and let us in.
5 O dearly, dearly has he loved,
and we must love him too,
and trust in his redeeming blood,
and try his works to do.

Come down, O Love divine
Author: Bianco de Siena, d. 1434; Richard Frederick Littledale, 1833-90 Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 109 hymnals Topics: Our Love to God Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine,
seek now this soul of mine,
and visit it with our own ardour glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear
and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
2 There let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes, in its heat consuming;
and let your glorious light
shine ever on my sight
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity
my outward garment be,
and lowliness become my inner clothing:
true lowliness of heart,
which takes the humbler part
and for its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace
till we become the place
in which the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY

thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
take all my guilt away.
O let me from this day
be wholly thine!

strength to my fainting heart,
my zeal inspire.
As thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee
pure, warm, and changeless be,
a living fire!
3 While life's dark maze I tread
and griefs around me spread,
be thou my guide.
Bid darkness turn to day,
wipe sorrow's tears away,
nor let me ever stray
from thee aside.
4 When life's swift race is run,
death's cold work almost done,
be near to me.
Blest Savior, then in love
fear and distrust remove.
O bear me safe above,
redeemed and free!

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded
Author: Paul Gerhardt; James W. Alexander Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 727 hymnals Topics: Love Our Love to God; Love Our Love to God Lyrics: 1 O sacred head, now wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down,
now scornfully surrounded
with thorns, your only crown.
O sacred head, what glory
and blessing you have known!
Yet, though despised and gory,
I claim you as my own.
2 My Lord, what you did suffer
was all for sinners' gain;
mine, mine was the transgression,
but yours the deadly pain.
So here I kneel, my Savior,
for I deserve your place;
look on me with your favor
and save me by your grace.
3 What language shall I borrow
to thank you, dearest Friend,
for this, your dying sorrow,
your mercy without end?
Lord, make me yours forever,
a loyal servant true,
and let me never, never
outlive my love for you.

Jesus Calls Us; O'er the Tumult
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 927 hymnals Topics: Love Our Love to God; Love Our Love to God Lyrics:
1 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult
of our life's wild, restless sea,
day by day his voice is sounding,
saying, "Christian, follow me."
2 Long ago apostles heard it
by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and work and family,
leaving all for his dear sake.
3 In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of work and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these."
4 Jesus calls us; by your mercies,
Savior, may we hear your call,
give our hearts to your obedience,
serve and love you best of all.
Scripture: Matthew 4:18-20 Used With Tune: HALTON HOLGATE

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness
Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell, 1811-75 Appears in 145 hymnals Topics: Our Love to God Lyrics: 1 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness,
bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.
2 Low at his feet lay your burden of carefulness,
high on his heart he will bear it for you,
comfort your sorrows, and answer your prayerfulness,
guiding your steps in the way best for you.
3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness
of the poor wealth you would reckon to own:
truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness,
these are the offerings to bring to his throne.
4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
he will accept for the name that is dear,
mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
trust for our trembling and hope for our fear.
5 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness,
bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness,
bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.
Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16:29-33 Used With Tune: WAS LEBET

3 Jesus, confirm my heart's desire
to work, and speak, and think for thee;
still let me guard the holy fire,
and still stir up thy gift in me,
4 ready for all thy perfect will,
my acts of faith and love repeat,
till death thy endless mercies seal,
and make the sacrifice complete. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Used With Tune: HEREFORD

open to each other's need. Scripture: 1 John 3:14-17 Used With Tune: TREDEGAR
