Come, Holy Ghost, Our Hearts Inspire
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 235 hymnals First Line: Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire (Wesley) Lyrics: 1. Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire,
let us thine influence prove;
source of the old prophetic fire,
fountain of life and love.
2. Come, Holy Ghost (for moved by thee
the prophets wrote and spoke),
unlock the truth, thyself the key,
unseal the sacred book.
3. Expand thy wings, celestial Dove,
brood o'er our nature's night;
on our disordered spirits move,
and let there now be light.
4. God, through the Spirit we shall know
if thou within us shine,
and sound, with all thy saints below,
the depths of love divine.

While humble shepherds watch'd their flocks
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 While humble shepherds watch'd their flocks
in Bethleh'm's plains by night,
an angel sent from heav'n appear'd,
and fill'd the plains with light.
2 Fear not, he said, (for sudden dread
had seiz'd their troubled mind.)
glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you, and all mankind.
3 To you, in David's town, this day,
is born, of David's line,
the Saviour, who is Christ the Lord;
and this shall be the sign:
4 the heav'nly Babe you there shall find
to human view display'd,
all meanly wrapped in swathing-bands,
and in a manger laid.
5 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith
appeared a shining throng
of angels, praising God, and thus
address'd their joyful song:
6 All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
good-will is shown by Heav'n to men,
and never more shall cease. Scripture: Luke 2:8-15 Used With Tune: WINCHESTER OLD

My God, I Love Thee
Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 208 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My God, I love thee, not because
I hope for heaven thereby,
nor yet because, if I love not,
I must forever die.
2. Thou, O my Jesus, thou didst me
upon the cross embrace;
for me didst bear the nails and spear
and manifold disgrace.
3. Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ,
should I not love thee well?
Not for the sake of winning heaven,
nor of escaping hell.
4. Not with the hope of gaining aught,
not seeking a reward,
but as thyself hast loved me,
O everlasting Lord.
5. So would I love thee, dearest Lord,
and in thy praise will sing;
because thou art my loving God
and my eternal King.

Lord, our Lord, is thy name!

so kind to him should’st be?

thou crownèd hast his head. Topics: Adoration Of God; Angels; Creation Scripture: Psalm 8:1-5 Used With Tune: WINCHESTER OLD Text Sources: The Scottish Psalter, 1929

our ever-present aid,

though foaming waters roar,
yea, though the mighty billows shake
the mountains on the shore.

the city walls shall stand,
secure and safe with God's sure help,
when trouble is at hand.

Am I a Soldier of the Cross
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,941 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the Cross,
A foll'wer of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own His cause
Or blush to speak His name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flow'ry beds of ease
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed thro' bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vain world a friend to grace
To help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord!
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy Word.
5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war
Shall conquer though they die;
They see the triumph from afar
With faith's discerning eye.
6 When that illustrious Day shall rise,
And all Thine armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be Thine.

The Saviour promised long;
let ev’ry heart exult with joy,

exerts its sacred fire;

the gates of brass before him burst,
the iron fetters yield.

to clear the inward sight;
and on the eye-balls of the blind
to pour celestial light.
5 He comes! the broken hearts to bind,
the bleeding souls to cure;
and with the treasures of his grace
t’ enrich the humble poor.

accepted of the Lord,
when Heav’n’s high promise is fulfill'd,
and Isr’el is restor'd.

and heaven’s exalted arches ring
with thy most honour'd name. Scripture: Luke 4:18-19 Used With Tune: WINCHESTER OLD
