Come, Oh, Come, Thou Quickening Spirit
Author: Heinrich Held Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, oh, come, Thou quickening Spirit,
Thou forever art divine;
Let Thy power never fail me,
Always fill this heart of mine;
Then shall grace, and truth, and light
Dissipate the gloom of night.
2 Grant my mind and my affections
Wisdom, counsel, purity;
That I may be ever seeking
Naught but that which pleases Thee.
Let Thy knowledge spread and grow,
Working error's overthrow.
3 Lead me to green pastures, lead me
By the true and living way,
Shield me from each strong temptation
That might draw my heart astray;
And if e'er my feet should turn,
For each error let me mourn.
4 Holy Spirit, strong and mighty,
Thou who makest all things new,
Make Thy work within us perfect
Help me by Thy word so true,
Arm me with that Sword of Thine,
And the victory shall be mine.
5 In the faith, oh! make me steadfast;
Let not Satan, death or shame
Of my confidence deprive me;
Lord, my refuge is thy Name.
When the flesh inclines to ill,
Let Thy Word prove stronger still.
6 And when my last hour approaches,
Let my hopes grow yet more bright;
Since I am an heir of heaven,
In thy glorious courts of light.
Fairer far than voice can tell,
There, redeemed by Christ, to dwell.

Rise from sin, and live to Thee.

Judge eternal, throned in splendor
Author: Henry Scott Holland, 1847-1918 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 108 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Judge eternal, throned in splendor,
Lord of lords and King of kings,
with thy living fire of judgment
purge this land of bitter things;
solace all its wide dominion
with the healing of thy wings.
2 Still the weary folk are pining
for the hour that brings release,
and the city's crowded clangor
cries aloud for sin to cease;
and the homesteads and the woodlands
plead in silence for their peace.
3 Crown, O God, thine own endeavor;
cleave our darkness with thy sword;
feed all those who do not know thee
with the richness of thy word;
cleanse the body of this nation
through the glory of the Lord. Used With Tune: KOMM, O KOMM DU GEIST DES LEBENS

Who are these like stars appearing
God who madest earth and heaven
Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God who madest earth and heaven,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Who the day and night hast given,
Sun and moon and starry host,
Thou whose mighty hand sustains
Earth and all that she contains:
2 Praise to Thee my soul shall render,
Who this night hast guarded me,
My omnipotent defender,
Who from ill dost set me free,--
Free from danger, anguish, woe,
Free from the infernal foe.
3 Let the night of my transgression
With night's darkness pass away.
Jesus, into Thy possession
I resign myself to-day;
In Thy wounds I find relief
From my greatest sin and grief.
4 Grant that I may rise this morning
From the lethargy of sin;
Thus my soul, through Thine adorning,
Shall be glorious within,
And when breaks Thy judgment day
I shall not be cast away.
5 Let my life and conversation
Be directed by Thy Word.
Lord, Thy constant preservation
To Thy erring child afford;
Nowhere but alone in Thee
From all harm can I be free.
6 Wholly to Thy blest protection
I commit my heart and mind.
Mighty God, to Thy direction
May I ever be resigned.
Lord, my shield, my light divine,
O accept, and own me Thine.
7 Lord, to me Thine angel sending,
Keep me from the subtle foe;
From his craft and might defending,
Never let Thy pilgrim go,
Till my final rest be come,
And Thine angel bear me home. Topics: Worship Morning; Prayer General Petition; Protection, prayed for Used With Tune: COME, O COME, THOU QUICKENING SPIRIT

Holy Spirit, Lord of glory
Author: R. H. Baynes Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Holy Spirit, Lord of glory,
Look on us Thy flock to-day,
Meekly kneeling at Thy footstool
For Thy sevenfold gifts we pray;
Guide us all our earthly journey
In the true and narrow way.
2 Foes on every hand are round us,
And our hearts are weak and frail;
Gird us with Thy heavenly armor;
Never let us yield or quail;
Give us victory in the struggle
When the hosts of sin assail.
3 Blessèd Jesus, draw Thou near us,
As before Thy cross we bow;
Help us to be true and faithful,
Seal our sacramental vow;
We Thy soldiers are, and servants;
Hear our solemn promise now.
4 Lead us by Thy guiding presence
Through the waste, with danger rife;
Feed us with the heavenly manna,
That we faint not in the strife;
Slake our weary spirits' thirsting,
From the living well of life.
5 Looking ever unto Jesus,
Leaning on His staff and rod;
May we follow in His footsteps,
Tread the path that He has trod,
Till we dwell with Him forever
In the Paradise of God.
Amen.

Living Word of God Eternal
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Living Word of God eternal,
Laying claim to every age,
Jesus, speak through all our speaking,
Bring to life the Bible's page;
Let Your Gospel, heard and heeded,
Set our course of pilgrimage.
2 Loving Savior, whose embraces
Our true selves alone unmask,
In this fellowship's small compass
Train us for our common task:
By our love to grow more like You
And to dare what You will ask.
3 Living Bread come down from heaven,
Broken, shared, distributed,
Feed us, gathered at this table,
With Your grace unlimited,
And as servants then employ us
Till this hungry world is fed.
4 Loving Spirit, praying in us,
Giving voice to all our sighs,
Show the wideness of Your mercy
To deaf ears and blinded eyes;
Free our tongues to come before You
With our neighbors' joys and cries.
5 May Your Word among us spoken,
May the loving which we dare,
May Your Bread among us broken,
May the prayers in which we share
Daily make us faithful people,
Living signs, Lord, of Your care.

To the Name That Brings Salvation
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 118 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To the name that brings salvation
Let the nations bow the head;
Let them kneel in adoration
When this name of names is said;
Let them pray for restoration
Of all things in Christ the head.
2 He through every generation
Rules in endless majesty;
May the kings of every nation
Now foreswear their enmity,
And with humble veneration
In the love of God agree.
3 Lord, we pray for upright rulers:
Guard them surely in their need
From the vanity of power
And the emptiness of greed;
Let them see the truth of lowness,
And on justice let them feed. Topics: Christan Life Love of Country Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD Text Sources: Late 15th century
