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

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!" Topics: The Christian; Christian Awakened; Spiritual Conviction; What must I do to be saved?

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.

Surely each one who hears my case, Will praise thee, and confess thy grace Invincible indeed! Topics: Love Divine

Come, Celebrate the Call of God

Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Acts 9:1-18 Lyrics: 1 Come, celebrate the call of God that wakens and renews, and chooses from us, for our good, the bringers of good news. The Spirit's blessing all ordains to show what God has done, yet brings to focus and contains the many in the one. 2 A chosen one today replies, and fit and ready stands. *Her calling now we recognize with prayer and loving hands. A servant leader, truthful friend, we gladly will receive, to stir and comfort, shake and mend, be glad with us, and grieve. 3 Great Spirit, give *her word and breath in Christ to live and speak, and shield against the powers of death the outcast and the weak, *her flag of faith, above defeats, in heaven's breeze unfurled, as all her deepest gladness meets the hunger of the world. *for her, read him when appropriate Used With Tune: ALIDA'S TUNE

We sing for all the unsung saints

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr (b. 1944) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Acts 9:15 Lyrics: 1 We sing for all the unsung saints, that countless, nameless throng, who kept the faith and passed it on with hope steadfast and strong, through all the daily griefs and joys no chronicles record, forgetful of their lack of fame, but mindful of their Lord. 2 Though uninscribed with date or place, with title, rank, or name, as living stones their stories join to form a hallowed frame around the mystery in their midst: the Lamb once sacrificed, the Love that wrested life from death, the wounded, risen Christ. 3 So we take heart from unknown saints bereft of earthly fame, those faithful ones who have received a more enduring name: for they reveal true blessing comes when we our pride efface and offer back our lives to be the vessels of God's grace.
