Oh, mean may seem this house of clay
Author: Thomas H. Gill Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, mean may seem this house of clay--
Yet 'twas the Lord's abode;
Our feet may mourn this thorny way,
Yet here Emmanuel trod.
2 This fleshly robe the Lord did wear,
This watch the Lord did keep,
These burdens sore the Lord did bear,
These tears the Lord did weep.
3 This world the Master overcame,
This death the Lord did die;
O vanquished world! O glorious shame!
O hallowed agony!
4 O vale of tears, no longer sad,
Wherein the Lord did dwell!
O holy robe of flesh, that clad
Our own Immanuel!
5 Our very frailty brings us near
Unto the Lord of heaven;
To every grief, to every tear,
Such glory strange is given.
Amen.

Almighty God, Thy Word is Cast
Author: John Cawood, 1775-1852 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, Thy Word is cast
Like seed into the ground;
Now let the dew of heaven descend
And righteous fruits abound.
2 Let not the foe of Christ and man
This holy seed remove;
But give it root in every heart,
To bring forth fruits of love.
3 Let not the world's deceitful cares
The rising plant destroy,
But let it yield a hundred fold
The fruits of peace and joy.
4 Oft as the precious seed is sown,
Thy quickening grace bestow,
That all whose souls the truth receive,
Its saving power may know.
Amen.

My God, I love Thee, not because
Author: Francis Xavier; Edward Caswell Appears in 214 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee, not because
I hope for heav'n thereby;
Nor yet because who love Thee not
Must burn eternally.
2 Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me
Upon the cross embrace;
For me didst bear the nails and spear,
And manifold disgrace,
3 And griefs and torments numberless,
And sweat of agony,
Yea, death itself; and all for one
That was Thine enemy.
4 Then why, O blessed Savior, Christ,
Should I not love Thee well?
Not for the hope of winning heav'n,
Nor of escaping hell;
5 Not with the hope of gaining aught,
Not seeking a reward;
But solely for Thy love to me,
O ever-loving Lord?
6 E’en so I love Thee, and will love,
And in Thy praise will sing,
Alone because Thou art my God,
And my eternal King. Topics: Quinquagesima; First Sunday after Trinity; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Used With Tune: BELMONT

Gifts of Healing
O Lord, I would delight in thee
Author: John Ryland Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 245 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, I would delight in thee,
And on thy care depend;
To thee in ev'ry trouble flee,
My best, my only Friend.
2 When all created streams are dried,
Thy fulness is the same;
May I with this be satisfied,
And glory in thy Name.
3 No good in creatures can be found,
But may be found in thee;
I must have all things and abound,
While God is God to me.
4 O that I had a stronger faith,
To look within the veil!
To credit what my Saviour saith,
Whose Word can never fail!
5 He that has made my heav'n secure,
Will here all good provide;
While Christ is rich, can I be poor?
What can I want beside?
6 O Lord, I cast my care on thee;
I triumph and adore:
Henceforth my great concern shall be
To love and please thee more.

Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,235 hymnals First Line: Come, Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove,
With all Thy quick'ning powers,
And light a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
2 See how we grovel here below,
Fond of these trifling toys;
Our souls, how heavily they go,
To reach eternal joys!
3 In vain we tune our lifeless songs,
In vain we strive to rise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.
4 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers,
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours.
Amen. Topics: Church Year Pentecost; Quinquagesima; Pentecost (Whitsunday); Prayer for Love; Sanctification Used With Tune: BELMONT
