My God, accept my heart this day

Author: Matthew Bridges Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 265 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, accept my heart this day, And make it always Thine, That I from Thee no more may stray, No more from Thee decline. 2 Before the Cross of Him Who died, Behold I prostrate fall; Let every sin be crucified, And Christ be all in all! 3 Anoint me with Thy heavenly grace, And seal me for Thine own; That I may see Thy glorious face, And worship at Thy throne! 4 May the dear Blood, once shed for me, My blest Atonement prove, That I from first to last may be The purchase of Thy Love! 5 Let every thought, and work, and word, To Thee be ever given: Then life shall be Thy service, Lord, And death the gate of heaven!

Lo! what a cloud of witnesses

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a cloud of witnesses Encompass us around! Men once like us with suffering tried, But now with glory crowned. 2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired, Strive in the Christian race; And, freed from every weight of sin, Their holy footsteps trace. 3 Behold a Witness nobler still, Who trod affliction's path; Jesus, the author, finisher, Rewarder of our faith. 4 He, for the joy before him set, And moved by pitying love, Endured the cross, despised the shame, And now he reigns above. 5 Thither, forgetting things behind, Press we to God's right hand; There, with the Saviour and his saints, Triumphantly to stand. Amen. Topics: All Saints; General; Zeal Used With Tune: [Lo! what a cloud of witnesses]

Once, Only Once

Author: William Bright Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 33 hymnals First Line: Once, only once, and once for all Lyrics: 1. Once, only once, and once for all, His precious life He gave; Before the cross in faith we fall, And own it strong to save. 2. One off’ring, single and complete, With lips and hearts we say; But what He never can repeat He shows forth day by day. 3. For as the priest of Aaron’s line Within the holiest stood, And sprinkled all the mercy shrine With sacrificial blood; 4. So He, who once atonement wrought, Our Priest of endless power, Presents Himself for those He bought In that dark noontide hour. 5. His manhood pleads where now it lives On heaven’s eternal throne, And where in mystic rite He gives Its presence to His own. 6. And so we show Thy death, O Lord, Till Thou again appear, And feel, when we approach Thy board, We have an altar here. Used With Tune: ALBANO
