Make Me a Captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 120 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:1 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.
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 power is faint and low
till I have learned to serve;
it lacks the needed fire to glow,
it lacks the breeze to nerve.
It cannot drive the world
until itself be driven;
its flag can only be unfurled
when thou shalt breathe from heaven.
4. 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.

Make Me a Captive, Lord
Lord Christ, at your first eucharist you prayed
Author: William Henry Turton, 1856-1938 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 76 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:1-6 Lyrics: 1 Lord Christ, at your first eucharist you prayed
that all your church might be for ever one;
may at each eucharist this prayer be made
with longing heart and soul, 'Your will be done.'
O may we all one bread, one body be,
through this blest sacrament of unity.
2 For all your church, O Lord, we intercede;
make all our sad divisions soon to cease;
draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,
by drawing all to you, O Prince of Peace:
thus may we all one bread, one body be,
through this blest sacrament of unity.
3 We also pray for wanderers from your fold;
O bring them back, Good Shepherd of the sheep,
back to the faith which saints believed of old,
back to your church which still that faith must keep:
soon may we all one bread, one body be,
through this blest sacrament of unity.
4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease
may we be one with all your church above,
one with your saints in one unbroken peace,
one with your saints in one unbounded love;
more blessèd still, in peace and love to be
one with the Trinity in Unity. Topics: Church; Communion of Saints; Intercession of the Church; Reconciliation; Saints Days and Holy Days St John the Evangelist; Unity of the Church; Worship Earthly and Heavenly Used With Tune: SONG 1

Eternal God, Your Love's Tremendous Glory
Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:1-12 Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, your love's tremendous glory
cascades through life in overflowing grace,
to tell creation's meaning in the story
of love evolving love from time and space.
2 Eternal Son of God, uniquely precious,
in you, deserted, scorned and crucified,
God's love has fathomed sin and death's deep darkness,
and flawed humanity is glorified.
3 Eternal Spirit, with us like a mother,
embracing us in love serene and pure:
you nurture strength to follow Christ our brother,
as full-grown children, confident and sure.
4 Love's trinity, self-perfect, self-sustaining;
love which commands, enables and obeys:
you give yourself, in boundless joy, creating
one vast increasing harmony of praise.
5 We ask you now, complete your image in us;
this love of yours, our source and guide and goal.
May love in us, seek love and serve love's purpose,
till we ascend with Christ and find love whole. Topics: Trinity; Baptism (general); Images of God Used With Tune: HIGHWOOD

hope be born and joy restored.

though your hand may work in secret,
all shall see what you have done.

heaven brought near by power divine;
give your unexpected glory,
changing water into wine:
rouse the faith of your disciples --
come, our first and greatest sign!

make us willing to receive
more than we can yet imagine,
all the best you have to give:
let us find your hidden riches,
taste your love, believe, and live! Topics: Call and Vocation; Epiphany (season) Used With Tune: SICILIAN MARINERS

Author: Brian Wren (1936-) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Ephesians 3:1-12 Lyrics: 1 Sing praises old and new,

Old covenants renew:
new commitments have begun.
God's soaring purpose spans
all ages, lives and lands.
Christ's open, wounded hands
past and present join in one.
2 Word, from the heart of God,
costly, unexpected grace;
Love, making all things good,
Light of all the human race;
hail, Wisdom, deep and vast,
shining in Israel's past,
raising the least and last:
costly, unexpected grace!

doors of promise open wide.
Through evil's deadly lies
truth and goodness set aside,
faith never stands alone,
hope rolls away the stone,
love makes your presence known,
doors of promise open wide.
4 People of hope, be strong!
Love is making all things new.
Lift our united song,
show what faith can dream and do!
Come, Presence ever near,
revive us, year by year.
Sing through our joy and fear,
"Love is making all things new!" Topics: Christian Life; Covenant; Hope; Love; Wisdom Used With Tune: FONDREN
