Take My Gifts and Let Me Love You
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Take my gifts and let me love you,
God who first of all loved me,
gave me light and food and shelter,
gave me life and set me free,
now because your love has touched me,
I have love to give away,
now the bread of love is rising,
loaves of love to multiply!
2 Take the fruit that I have gathered
from the tree your Spirit sowed,
harvest of your own compassion,
juice that makes the wine of God,
spiced with humor, laced with laughter–
flavor of the Jesus life,
tang of risk and new adventure,
taste and zest beyond belief.
3 Take whatever I can offer—
gifts that I have yet to find,
skills that I am slow to sharpen,
talents of the hand and mind,
things made beautiful for others
in the place where I must be:
take my gifts and let me love you,
God who first of all loved me. Topics: Abundance; Communion; Compassion; Generosity; Giftedness; Giving; God's Love; Gratitude Scripture: Psalm 96:3-6 Used With Tune: DECATUR
Take My Gifts and Let Me Love You
Let us pray for one another
Author: David H. Smith, 1844-1904 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let us pray for one another,
For the day is fading fast
And the night is growing darker,
While the scourge goes flaming past;
We can see it in the darkness
closing round our narrow way,
And the snares are growing thicker:
For each other let us pray.
2 We are walking down time's vista;
We are very near the end;
Let us pray that God, the Father,
Will his guiding Spirit send.
Now the foe becomes more daring,
Knowing well the latter day;
'Tis the strength of his despairing;
For each other let us pray.
3 Pray in faith, and pray unceasing,
To the god we love and trust,
For our prayers are much availing
If we walk upright and just;
Be not weary of exhorting;
Heed the lesson of each day;
And that we may be unwavering,
For each other let us pray.
4 It is waning on toward midnight;
Soon we'll hear the watchman say,
"See, the Son of God is coming;
Go and meet him on the way!"
That our lamps may then be burning
Bright enough to guide our way,
And that we may share his glory,
For each other let us pray.
