Like the Murmur of the Dove's Song
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7.6 Appears in 36 hymnals Scripture: John 15:5 Lyrics: 1 Like the murmur of the dove's song,
like the challenge of her flight,
like the vigor of the wind's rush,
like the new flame's eager might:
Come, Holy Spirit, come.
2 To the members of Christ's body,
to the branches of the Vine,
to the Church in faith assembled,
to her midst as gift and sign:
Come, Holy Spirit, come.
3 With the healing of division,
with the ceaseless voice of prayer,
with the power of love and witness,
with the peace beyond compare:
Come, Holy Spirit, come.

My Lord, I Did Not Choose You
Author: Josiah Conder Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 77 hymnals Scripture: John 15:16 Lyrics: 1 My Lord, I did not choose you,
for that could never be;
my heart would still refuse you,
had you not chosen me.
You took the sin that stained me,
you cleansed me, made me new;
of old you have ordained me,
that I should live in you.
2 Unless your grace had called me
and taught my opening mind,
the world would have enthralled me,
to heavenly glories blind.
My heart knows none above you;
for your rich grace I thirst.
I know that if I love you,
you must have loved me first.

One There Is, above All Others
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 684 hymnals Scripture: John 15:14 Lyrics: 1 One there is, above all others,
well deserves the name of Friend;
his is love beyond a brother's,
costly, free, and knows no end.
They who once his kindness prove
find it everlasting love.
2 Which of all our friends, to save us,
could or would have shed his blood?
But our Jesus died to have us
reconciled in him to God.
This was boundless love indeed;
Jesus is a Friend in need.
3 When he lived on earth abased,
"Friend of sinners" was his name;
Now above all glory raised,
he rejoices in the same;
still he calls them brethren, friends,
and to all their wants attends.
4 Could we bear from one another
what he daily bears from us?
Yet this glorious Friend and Brother
loves us though we treat him thus:
though for good we render ill,
he accounts us brethren still.
5 O for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, at length to love,
we, alas! forget too often
what a Friend we have above:
but when home our souls are brought,
we will love you as we ought.

O Jesus, I have promised
Author: John Ernest Bode (1816-1874) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 617 hymnals Scripture: John 15:14 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
be now and always near me,
my master and my friend:
I shall not fear the battle
if you are by my side,
not wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide.
2 Oh, let me feel you near me:
the world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear;
my foes are ever near me,
around me, and within;
but, Jesus, draw still nearer,
and shield my soul from sin.
3 Oh, let me hear you speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
Oh, speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
true guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, you have promised
to all who follow you,
that where you are in glory
your servant shall be too;
and, Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end:
now give me grace to follow,
my master and my friend. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - Confirmation; Conflict; Discipleship Used With Tune: THORNBURY

In Heavenly Love Abiding
Author: Anna L. Waring Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 563 hymnals Scripture: John 15:9 First Line: In heav'nly love abiding Lyrics: 1. In heav'nly love abiding,
No change my heart shall fear;
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here:
The storm may roar without me,
My heart may low be laid;
But God is round about me,
And can I be dismayed?
2. Wherever He may guide me,
No want shall turn me back;
My Shepherd is beside me,
And nothing can I lack:
His wisdom ever waketh,
His sight is never dim;
He knows the way He taketh,
And I will walk with Him.
3. Green pastures are before me,
Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be o'er me,
Where darkest clouds have been:
My life I cannot measure,
The path of life is free;
My Savior has my treasure,
And He will walk with me. Used With Tune: WHITFIELD

Help Us Accept Each Other
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: John 15:12 Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other as Christ accepted us;
teach us as sister, brother, each person to embrace.
Be present, Lord, among us, and bring us to believe
we are ourselves accepted and meant to love and live.
2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons, as in our daily life
we struggle to be human and search for hope and faith.
Teach us to care for people, for all, not just for some,
to love them as we find them, or as they may become.
3 Let your acceptance change us, so that we may be moved
in living situations to do the truth in love;
to practice your acceptance, until we know by heart
the table of forgiveness and laughter's healing art.
4 Lord, for today's encounters with all who are in need,
who hunger for acceptance, for righteousness and bread,
we need new eyes for seeing, new hands for holding on;
renew us with your Spirit; Lord, free us, make us one! Topics: Love Feast; The Nature of the Church United in Christ; Church Community in Christ; Forgiveness; Home and Family; Love Feast; Presence (Holy Spirit); Reconciliation Used With Tune: ACCEPTANCE

Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts
Author: Bernard of Clairvaux; Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 553 hymnals Scripture: John 15:11 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts,
thou fount of life, thou light of men,
from the best bliss that earth imparts
we turn unfilled to thee again.
2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood;
thou savest those that on thee call;
to them that seek thee thou art good,
to them that find thee all in all.
3 We taste thee, O thou living bread,
and long to feast upon thee still;
we drink of thee, the fountain-head,
and thirst our souls from thee to fill.
4 Our restless spirits yearn for thee,
where'er our changeful lot is cast;
glad when thy gracious smile we see,
blest when our faith can hold thee fast.
5 O Jesus, ever with us stay,
make all our moments calm and bright;
chase the dark night of sin away,
shed o'er the world thy holy light.

Jesus Is All the World to Me
Author: Will L. Thompson Meter: Irregular Appears in 302 hymnals Scripture: John 15:14 Lyrics: 1 Jesus is all the world to me,
my life, my joy, my all;
he is my strength from day to day,
without him I would fall.
When I am sad, to him I go,
no other one can cheer me so;
when I am sad he makes me glad,
he's my Friend.
2 Jesus is all the world to me,
my Friend in trials sore;
I go to him for blessings, and
he gives them o'er and o'er.
He sends the sunshine and the rain,
he sends the harvest's golden grain;
sunshine and rain, harvest of grain,
he's my Friend.
3 Jesus is all the world to me,
and true to him I'll be;
oh, how could I this Friend deny,
when he's so true to me?
Following him I know I'm right,
he watches o'er me day and night;
following him, by day and night,
he's my Friend.
4 Jesus is all the world to me,
I want no better friend;
I trust him now, I'll trust him when
life's fleeting days shall end.
Beautiful life with such a Friend;
beautiful life that has no end;
eternal life, eternal joy,
he's my Friend.
