Alleluia! Alleluia!

Author: Christopher Wordsworth (1807-1885) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 219 hymnals Scripture: John 15:16 Lyrics: 1 Alleluia! Alleluia! hearts to heaven and voices raise; sing to God a hymn of gladness, sing to God a hymn of praise: he who on the Cross a victim for the world's salvation bled, Jesus Christ, the King of glory, now is risen from the dead. 2 Christ is risen, Christ the firstfruits of the holy harvest field, which will all its full abundance at his second coming yield; then the golden ears of harvest will their heads before him wave, ripened by his glorious sunshine, from the furrows of the grave. 3 Christ is risen, we are risen; shed upon us heavenly grace, rain, and dew, and gleams of glory from the brightness of thy face; so that we, with hearts in heaven, here on earth may fruitful be, and by angel hands be gathered, and be ever, Lord, with thee. 4 Alleluia! Alleluia! Glory be to God on high; Alleluia to the Saviour, who has gained the victory; Alleluia to the Spirit, fount of love and sanctity: Alleluia! Alleluia! to the blessèd Trinity.

Make Me a Captive, Lord

Author: George Matheson Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 120 hymnals Scripture: John 15:5 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. 2 I sink in life's alarms When by myself I stand; Imprison me within Thine arms, And strong shall be my hand. 3 My heart is weak and poor Until it master find; It has no spring of action sure— It varies with the wind. 4 It cannot freely move Till Thou hast wrought its chain; Enslave it with Thy matchless love, And deathless it shall reign. 5 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; 6 It only stands unbent Amid the clashing strife, When on Thy bosom it has leant, And found in Thee its life. Amen. Topics: Christ Master; Christ Presence; Commitment; God Will, Doing His; Life in Christ Dedication and Consecration Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

Great God, your love has called us here

Author: Brian A. Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: John 15:14-15 Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here, as we, by love, for love were made. Your living likeness still we bear, though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed. We come, with all our heart and mind your call to hear, your love to find. 2 We come with self-inflicted pains of broken trust and chosen wrong, half-free, half-bound by inner chains, by social forces swept along, by powers and systems close confined, yet seeking hope for humankind. 3 Great God, in Christ you call our name, and then receive us as your own, not through some merit, right or claim, but by your gracious love alone. We strain to glimpse your mercy-seat and find you kneeling at our feet. 4 Then take the towel, and break the bread, and humble us, and call us friends. Suffer and serve till all are fed, and show how grandly love intends to work till all creation sings, to fill all worlds, to crown all things. 5 Great God, in Christ you set us free your life to live, your joy to share. Give us your Spirit's liberty to turn from guilt and dull despair, and offer all that faith can do, while love is making all things new. Used With Tune: RYBURN
