The Deity and Humanity of CHRIST

Appears in 98 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:9-10 First Line: E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad Lyrics: 1 E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad, From Everlasting was the word; With God he was; the Word was God, And must divinely be ador'd. 2 By his own Pow'r were all Things made; By him supported all Things stand; He is the whole Creation's Head, And Angels fly at his Command. 3 E'er Sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the Host of Morning-Stars; (Thy Generation who can tell, Or count the Number of thy Years?) 4 But lo, he leaves those Heav'nly Forms The Word descends and dwells in Clay, That he may hold Converse with Worms, Drest in such feeble Flesh as they. 5 Mortals with Joy behold his Face, Th' Eternal Father's only Son; How full of Truth! how full of Grace! When thro' his Eyes the Godhead shone! 6 Arch-Angels leave their high Abode, To learn new Myst'ries here, and tell The Love of our descending God, The Glories of EMANUEL.

Make Me a Captive, Lord

Author: George Matheson Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 120 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:1 Lyrics: 1. Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free. Force me to render up my sword, and I shall conqueror be. I sink in life's alarms when by myself I stand; imprison me within thine arms, and strong shall be my hand. 2. My heart is weak and poor until it master find; it has no spring of action sure, it varies with the wind. It cannot freely move till thou hast wrought its chain; enslave it with thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign. 3. My power is faint and low till I have learned to serve; it lacks the needed fire to glow, it lacks the breeze to nerve. It cannot drive the world until itself be driven; its flag can only be unfurled when thou shalt breathe from heaven. 4. My will is not my own till thou hast made it thine; if it would reach a monarch's throne, it must its crown resign. It only stands unbent amid the clashing strife, when on thy bosom it has leant, and found in thee its life.

As Thou hast died for me, Oh, 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 ends life's transient dream, When death's cold, sullen stream Shall o'er me roll, Blest Savior, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove; Oh, bear me safe above, A ransomed soul!
