we are gathered all to hear you;
let our hearts and minds be stirred
now to seek and love and fear you;
By your teachings true and holy,
drawn from earth to love you solely.
2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight
lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
till your Spirit breaks our night
filling us with light unclouded;
you alone to God can win us;
you must work all good within us.
3 Glorious Lord, yourself impart!
Light of Light, from God proceeding,
open now each mind and heart,
help us by your Spirit's pleading.
Hear the cry your Church now raises;
Lord, accept our prayers and praises. Used With Tune: LIEBSTER JESU

Author: Kate B. Wilkinson Meter: 8.7.8.5 Appears in 72 hymnals Topics: The Service of the Word Dedication Songs Lyrics: 1 May the mind of Christ, my Savior,
live in me from day to day,
by his love and power controlling
all I do and say.
2 May the word of God dwell richly
in my heart from hour to hour,
so that all may see I triumph
only through his power.
3 May the peace of God, my Father,
rule my life in everything,
that I may be calm to comfort
sick and sorrowing.
4 May the love of Jesus fill me
as the waters fill the sea.
Him exalting, self abasing:
this is victory.
5 May we run the race before us,
strong and brave to face the foe,
looking only unto Jesus
as we onward go.

that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.
2 'Twas grace first taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
3 The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.
4 Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
5 When we've been there ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we first begun.

Before his saints I pay my vow
and here my gratitude proclaim.

He has redeemed me from the grave,
and in his service I delight.

my gift and call upon God’s name,
Before his saints I pay my vow
and here my gratitude proclaim.

I dedicate myself to God.
Let all his saints his grace declare
and join to sound his praise abroad.
