Make Me A Captive, Lord
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 120 hymnals 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. Topics: Christ Master; Christ Presence; Commitment; God Will, Doing His; Life in Christ Dedication and Consecration Scripture: John 15:5 Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

Have mercy, Lord, on me
Come, Lord, and tarry not
Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Lord, and tarry not;
Bring the long-looked-for day;
O why these years of waiting here,
These ages of delay?
2 Come, for Thy saints still wait;
Daily ascends their sigh:
The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come":
Dost Thou not hear the cry?
3 Come, for creation groans,
Impatient of Thy stay,
Worn out with these long years of ill,
These ages of delay.
4 Come, and make all things new;
Build up this ruined earth;
Restore our faded Paradise,
Creation's second birth.
5 Come, and begin Thy reign
Of everlasting peace;
Come, take the Kingdom to Thyself,
Great King of Righteousness.
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Coming in Glory; Christ Second Coming, His; Coming in Glory Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

Wait patiently; so shall this night
Soon end in joyous day.

To choose and to command;
So shalt thou, wondering, own God's way,
How wise, how strong God's hand!

Fix on God's work thy steadfast eye,
So shall thy work be done. Topics: God Protection Scripture: Psalm 37:5-7 Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

Not all the blood of beast
Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 602 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts
On Jewish altars slain,
Could give the guilty conscience peace,
Or wash away our stain.
2 But Christ, the heavenly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away;
A sacrifice of nobler name,
And richer blood, than they,
3 My faith would lay her hand
On that meek head of Thine,
While as a penitent I stand,
And here confess my sin.
4 My soul looks back to see
The burden Thou didst bear
When hanging on the accursed tree,
And knows her guilt was there.
5 Believing, we rejoice
To feel the curse remove;
We bless the Lamb, with cheerful voice,
And trust His bleeding love. Topics: Christ Coming again; Christ Heavenly Lamb; Christ Immanuel; Christ Lamb of God; The Godhead The Son; Sacrifice For sin; Sacrifice Of Christ; Lamb Christ, the Heavenly ; Sin Sacrifice for Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

Author: Mrs. P. H. Brown Appears in 186 hymnals First Line: O Lord, thy work revive Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thy work revive,
In Zion's gloomy hour,
And make her dying graces live
By thy restoring power.

To fervent earnest prayer;
Again may they their vows renew,
Thy blessed presence share.

Through lips of feeble clay,
And hearts of adamant will break,
And rebels will obey.

Oh, listen to our cry;
Oh, come and bring salvation here:
Our hopes on thee rely. Topics: Missions and Growth; Church Missions of; Church Triumph of; Missions; Church Missions of; Church Triumph of; Missions Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE
