Now hear me while I pray; Take all my guilt away; Oh, let me from this day Be wholly Thine! 2 May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart; My zeal inspire! As Thou hast died for me, Oh, may my love to Thee Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire! 3 While life's dark maze I tread And griefs around me spread, Be Thou my guide; Bid darkness turn to day, Wipe sorrow's tears away, Nor let me ever stray From Thee aside. 4 When ends life's transient dream, When death's cold, sullen stream Shall o'er me roll, Blest Savior, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove; O bear me safe above, A ransomed soul!

My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman, c. 1624-1683 Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:17-19 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, my Savior’s love to me, love to the loveless shown that they might lovely be. Oh, 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 such disdain! So few the longed-for Christ would know! But oh, my friend, my friend indeed, who at my need his life did spend! 3 Sometimes they crowd 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 has 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 suff'ring goes that he his foes from death 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? Heav’n 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: Lent Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

Make me a captive, Lord

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 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.
