Shepherd of Eager Youth
Author: Clement of Alexandria; Henry M. Dexter Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 278 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:21 Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of eager youth,
Guiding in love and truth
Through devious ways,
Christ, our triumphant King,
We come Thy name to sing,
Hither our children bring
To shout Thy praise.
2 Thou art our holy Lord,
The all subduing Word,
Healer of strife;
Thou didst Thyself abase,
That from sin's deep disgrace
Thou mightest save our race,
And give us life.
3 Ever be Thou our Guide,
Our Shepherd and our Pride,
Our Staff and Song;
Jesus, Thou Christ of God,
By Thy perennial Word,
Lead us where Thou hast trod,
Make our faith strong.
4 So now, and till we die,
Sound we Thy praises high,
And joyful sing;
Let all the holy throng
Who to Thy Church belong
Unite and swell the song
To Christ our King!
Amen. Topics: Adoration and Praise; Christ Guide; Christ King; Christ Leader; Christ Shepherd; Youth, Hymns for; Church, The Youth, Hymns for Used With Tune: HINMAN
Shepherd of Eager Youth
My song is love unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman, 1624-1683 Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:19 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
my Saviour’s love to me,
love to the loveless shown,
that they might lovely be.
O who am I,
that for my sake
my Lord should take
frail flesh, and die?
2 He came from His blest throne,
salvation to bestow;
but men made strange, and none
the longed-for Christ would know.
But O, my Friend,
my Friend indeed,
who at my need
his life did spend!
3 Sometimes they strew his way,
and his sweet praises sing;
resounding all the day
hosannas to their King.
Then 'Crucify!'
is all their breath,
and for His death
they thirst and cry.
4 Why, what hath my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
he gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries!
yet they at these
themselves displease,
and 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise, and needs will have
my dear Lord made away;
a murderer they save,
the Prince of Life they slay.
Yet cheerful he
to suffering goes,
that he his foes
from thence might free.
6 In life, no house, no home
my Lord on earth might have;
in death, no friendly tomb
but what a stranger gave.
What may I say?
Heaven was his home;
but mine the tomb
wherein he lay.
7 Here might I stay and sing:
no story so divine;
never was love, dear King,
never was grief like thine!
This is my Friend,
in whose sweet praise
I all my days
could gladly spend. Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week; Lent V Year B; Palm Sunday Year A; Palm Sunday Year C; Good Friday; Proper 8 Year C Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

Not for Our Sins Alone
Author: Henry Twells Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:18 Lyrics: 1 Not for our sins alone
thy mercy, Lord, we sue;
let fall thy pitying glance
on our devotions too,
what we have done for thee,
and what we think to do.
2 The holiest hours we spend
in prayer upon our knees,
the times when most we deem
our songs of praise will please,
thou searcher of all hearts,
forgiveness pour on these.
3 And all the gifts we bring,
and all the vows we make,
and all the acts of love
We plan for thy dear sake,
into thy pard'ning thought,
O God in mercy take.
4 And most, when we, thy flock,
before thine altar bend,
and strange, bewild'ring thoughts
with those sweet moments blend,
by him whose death we plead,
good Lord, thy help extend.
5 Bow down thine ear and hear!
Open thine eyes and see.
Our very love is shame,
and we must comet
to make it of tgrace
what thou wouldst have it be.

Ye Holy Angels Bright
Author: Richard Baxter (1615-1691) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 114 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-21 Lyrics: 1 Ye holy angels bright,
who wait at God's right hand,
or through the realms of light
fly at your Lord's command,
assist our song,
for else the theme
too high doth seem
for mortal tongue.

who ran this earthly race
and now, from sin released,
behold the Saviour's face,
your praises sound,
as in God's sight
with sweet delight
ye do abound.
3 Ye saints, who toil below,
adore your heavenly King,
and onward as ye go
some joyful anthem sing;
in God rejoice,
and thus proclaim
the holy name
with sounding voice.
4 My soul, bear thou thy part,
triumph in God above,
and with a well-tuned heart
sing thou the songs of love!
Let all thy days
till life shall end,
whate'er God send,
be filled with praise. Topics: Angels; Communion of Saints; Funeral; Michael, the Archangel; Praise of God Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH

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.

in whom we are and move,
the glory, power, and praise
receive for thy creating love.
Let all the angel throng
give thanks to God on high,
while earth repeats the joyful song
and echoes to the sky.
2 Incarnate Deity,
let all the ransomed race
render in thanks their lives
to thee for thy redeeming grace.
The grace to sinners shown,
ye heavenly choirs proclaim,
and cry, "Salvation to our God,
salvation to the Lamb!"
3 Spirit of holiness,
let all thy saints adore
thy sacred energy, and bless
thine heart-renewing power.
No angel tongues can tell
thy love's ecstatic height,
the glorious joy unspeakable,
the beatific sight.
4 Eternal, triune God,
let all the hosts above,
let all on earth below
record and dwell upon thy love.
When heaven and earth are fled
before thy glorious face,
sing all the saints thy love hath made
thine everlasting praise. Topics: Praise of God; Trinity Used With Tune: FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
