bend our pride to your control;
shame our wanton selfish gladness,

gird our lives that they may be
armoured with all Christ-like graces,
pledged to set all captives free.

The honors of our Saviour God,
When His salvation reigns within,
And grace subdues the power of sin.

Passion and envy, lust and pride;
While justice, temperance, truth, and love,
Our inward piety approve.

While we expect that blessed hope,
The bright appearance of the Lord,
And faith stands leaning on His word.

Author: Catherine Cameron Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 46 hymnals Topics: Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens,

flung the suns in burning radiance
through the silent fields of space,
we your children, in your likeness,
share inventive powers with you.
Great Creator, still creating,
show us what we yet may do.
2 Proudly rise our modern cities,
stately buildings, row on row;
yet their windows, blank, unfeeling,
stare on canyoned streets below,
where the lonely drift unnoticed
in the city's ebb and flow,
lost to purpose and to meaning,
scarcely caring where they go.
3 We have ventured worlds undreamed of
since the childhood of our race;
known the ecstasy of winging
through untraveled realms of space;
probed the secrets of the atom,
yielding unimagined power,
facing us with life’s destruction
oOr our most triumphant hour.
4 As each far horizon beckons,
may it challenge us anew,
children of creative purpose,
serving others, honoring you.
May our dreams prove rich with promise,
each endeavor well begun.
Great Creator, give us guidance
till our goals and yours are one. Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA Text Sources: Korean trans. The United Methodist Korean Hymnal Commitee

Make me a captive, Lord
Author: Rev. George Matheson (1842-1906) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: Discipleship and Service 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 wants the needed fire to glow,
It wants 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.
Amen. Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER

bright with thy praise,

sun, moon, and stars forgot,
upward I fly,

nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!

Maintain the glory of His cross,

Nor will He put my soul to shame,
Nor let my hope be lost.

Protected by His power,
What I've committed to His trust
Till the decisive hour.

Before His Father's face,
And in the new Jerusalem
Appoint my soul a place.

Source of life and truth and grace,
Son of Man, whose birth incarnate
Hallows all our human race;

For Thine own dost ever plead,
Fill us with Thy love and pity,
Heal our wrongs, and help our need.

Freely have Thy gifts been granted,
Freely may Thy servants give.

Thine the wealth of land and sea,
We but stewards of Thy bounty
Held in solemn trust for Thee.
3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us,
King of love and Prince of peace;
Hush the storm of strife and passion,
Bid its cruel discords cease.
Ah, the past is dark behind us,
Strewn with wrecks and stained with blood!
But before us gleams the vision
Of the coming brotherhood.
4 See the Christ-like host advancing,
High and lowly, great and small,
Linked in bonds of common service
For the common Lord of all.
Thou who prayedst, Thou who willest
That Thy people should be one,
Grant, O grant our hope’s fruition:
Here on earth Thy will be done.
