Author: George Matheson (1842-1906) Appears in 120 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 14:30 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.

Author: Johnson Oatman, Jr. Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 42 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 14:23 First Line: When storms of life are round me beating Refrain First Line: Alone with God, the world forbidden Lyrics: 1 When storms of life are round me beating, When rough the path that I have trod, Within my closet door retreating, I love to be alone with God. Refrain: Alone with God, the world forbidden, Alone with God, O blest retreat! Alone with God, and in Him hidden, To hold with Him communion sweet. 2 What though the clouds have gathered o’er me? What though I’ve passed beneath the rod? God’s perfect will there lies before me, When I am thus alone with God. [Refrain] 3 ’Tis there I find new strength for duty, As o’er the sands of time I plod; I see the king in all His beauty, While resting there alone with God. [Refrain] 4 And when I see the moment nearing When I shall sleep beneath the sod, When time with me is disappearing, I want to be alone with God.

The Church of Christ in Every Age

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 14:16 Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age, beset by change but Spirit-led, must claim and test its heritage and keep on rising from the dead. 2 Across the world, across the street, the victims of injustice cry for shelter and for bread to eat, and never live until they die. 3 Then let the servant church arise, a caring church that longs to be a partner in Christ's sacrifice, and clothed in Christ's humanity. 4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed, can cure the fever in our blood, and teach us how to share our bread and feed the starving multitude. 5 We have no mission but to serve in full obedience to our Lord: to care for all, without reserve, and spread Christ's liberating word.

Praise the one who frees the prisoners, turning blindness into sight. Praise the one who preached the gospel, healing every dread disease, calming storms and feeding thousands with the very bread of peace. 2 Praise the one who blessed the children with a strong yet gentle word. Praise the one who drove out demons with a piercing two-edged sword. Praise the one who brings cool water to the desert's burning sand. From this well comes living water quenching thirst in every land. 3 Praise the one true love incarnate: Christ who suffered in our place. Jesus died and rose for many that we may know God by grace. Let us sing for joy and gladness, seeing what our God has done. Praise the one redeeming glory; praise the One who makes us one.

Constrained by their Lord to embark

Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 14:22 Lyrics: 1 Constrain'd by their Lord to embark, And venture without him to Sea. The season tempestuous and dark, How griev'd the Disciples must be! But tho' he remain'd on the Shore, He spent the Night for them in Pray'r; They still were as safe as before, And equally under his Care. 2 They strove, tho' in vain, for a while, The Force of the Waves to withstand; But when they were weary'd with Toil, They saw their dear Saviour at hand; They gladly receiv'd him on Board, His Presence their Spirits reviv'd; The Sea became calm at his Word, And soon at their Port they arriv'd. 3 Believers now like them are tost By Storms, of a perilous Deep; But cannot be possibly lost While Jesus has Charge of the Ship: Tho' Billows and winds are enrag'd, And threaten to make them their Sport; This Pilot hath firmly engag'd To bring them, in Safety to Port. 4 If sometimes we struggle alone, And he is withdrawn from our View, It makes us more willing to own We nothing without him can do: Then Satan our Hopes would assail, But Jesus is still within call; And when our poor Efforts quite fail, He comes in good Time, and does all. 5 Yet, Lord, we are ready to shrink, Unless we thy Presence perceive; O save us (we cry) or we sink, We would but we cannot believe: The Night has been long, and severe, The Winds and the Seas are still high; Dear Saviour, this Moment appear, And say to our Souls, "It is I!"
