I Asked the Lord That I Might Grow
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 134 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I asked the Lord that I might grow
in faith and love and every grace;
might more of His salvation know,
and seek more earnestly His face.
2 'Twas He who taught me thus to pray,
and He, I trust, has answered prayer,
but it has been in such a way
as almost drove me to despair.
3 I hoped that in some favored hour
at once He's answer my request,
and by His love's constraining pow'r
subdue my sins and give me rest.
4 Instead of this He made me feel
the hidden evils of my heart,
and let the angry pow'rs of hell
assault my soul in every part.
5 Yea more, with His own hand He seemed
intent to aggravate me woe,
crossed all the fair designs I schemed,
humbled my heart, and laid me low.
6 "Lord, why is this?" I trembling cried,
"Wilt Thou pursue Thy worm to death?"
"'Tis in this way," the Lord replied,
"I answer prayer for grace and faith.
7 "These inward trials I employ
from self and pride to set thee free,
and break thy schemes of earthly joy
that thou may'st find Thy all in Me." Topics: Comfort, Death, and Glory Used With Tune: O WALY WALY

Author: Adoniram Judson, 1788-1850 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 132 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, Dove Divine,
On these baptismal waters shine,
And teach our hearts, in highest strain,
To praise the Lamb, for sinners slain.
2 We love Thy name, we love Thy laws,
And joyfully embrace Thy cause;
We love Thy cross, the shame, the pain,
O Lamb of God, for sinners slain.
3 We sink beneath Thy mystic flood;
O bathe us in Thy cleansing blood;
We die to sin, and seek a grave,
With Thee, beneath the yielding wave.
4 And as we rise, with Thee to live,
O let the Holy Spirit give
The sealing unction from above,
The breath of life, the fire of love. Topics: The Assembly at Worship Baptism; Liturgical Index Baptism Scripture: Matthew 3:16 Used With Tune: O WALY WALY

we place, O God, within your care.

from sin and harm its whole life through?

enveloped with the Spirit's grace.
Tomorrow's promise can be glimpsed
within this infant's tiny face.
4 With humble joy we recognize
a task that only has begun.
A sacred charge lies in our arms
to cradle faith and pass it on.
5 We praise you, Father, God alone.
We praise you, Jesus, Son of love.
And to the Spirit, Holy One,
we sing our praise. Amen. Amen. Topics: Child Dedication Scripture: Colossians 3:21 Used With Tune: GIFT OF LOVE
