Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Christian Experience and Devotion Consecration and Prayer Lyrics: 1 Open, Lord, my inward ear, and bid my heart rejoice; Bid my quiet spirit hear Thy comfortable voice; Never in the whirlwind found, or where earthquake rocks the place, Still and silent is the sound, The whisper of Thy grace. 2 Show me, as my soul can bear, the depth of inbred sin; All my unbelief declare the pride that lurks within: Take me, whom Thyself hast bought, and bring into captivity Every high aspiring thought that would not stoop to Thee. 3 Lord, my time is in Thy hand, my soul to Thee convert; Thou canst make me understand, though I am slow of heart; Thine in whom I live and move, Thine, Lord, the work, the praise is Thine! Thou art wisdom, power and love, and all Thou art is mine. Used With Tune: OBEDIENCE

Meter: Irregular Appears in 133 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 Father, Son and Holy Ghost, One in Three, and Three in One, As by the celestial host, Let thy will on earth be done; Praise by all to thee be given, Gracious Lord of earth and heaven. 2 If so poor a worm as I May to thy great glory live, All my actions sanctify, All my words and thoughts receive. Claim me, for thy service claim All I have, and all I am. 3 Take my soul and body's powers! Take my mem'ry, mind, and will, All my goods and all my hours, All I know and all I feel: All I think, or speak, or do; Take my heart; but make it new! 4 Now, O God, thine own I am: Now I give thee back thine own; Freedom, friends, and health, and fame, Consecrate to thee alone: Thine I live, thrice happy I; Happier still if thine I die. 5 Father, Son and Holy Ghost, One in Three, and Three in One, As by the celestial host, Let thy will on earth be done: Praise by all to thee be given, Glorious Lord of earth and heaven.

"We've no abiding city here"

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 182 hymnals Topics: Christian experience The Christian life figuratively described as Taking up the Cross Lyrics: 1 "We've no abiding city here," This may distress the worldly mind; But should not cost a saint a tear, Who hopes a better rest to find. 2 "We've no abiding city here," Sad truth were this to be our home; But let this thought our spirits cheer, "We seek a city yet to come." 3 "We've no abiding city here," Then let us live as pilgrims do; Let not the world our rest appear; But let us haste from all below. 4 "We've no abiding city here," We seek a city out of sight: Zion it's name,--the Lord is there, It shines with everlasting light. 5 O! sweet abode of peace and love, Where pilgrims freed from toil are blest! Had I the pinions of the dove, I'd flee to thee, and be at rest. 6 But hush, my soul, nor dare repine! The time my God appoints is best: While here, to do his will be mine; And his to fix my time of rest. Scripture: Hebrews 13:14

O Zion, when I think of thee

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: Christian experience The Christian life figuratively described as Taking up the Cross Lyrics: 1 O Zion, when I think of thee, I wish for pinions like a dove, And mourn to think that I should be So distant from the place I love. 2 "An exile here, and far from home, For Zion's sacred walls I sigh, Thither the ransom'd nations come, And see the Saviour eye to eye. 3 "While here I walk on hostile ground, The few that I can call my friends, Are like myself, with fetters bound, And weariness our steps attends. 4 "But yet we shall behold the day When Zion's children shall return; Our sorrows then shall flee away, And we shall never, never mourn. 5 "The hope that such a day will come Makes even the exile's portion sweet; Though now we wander far from home, In Zion soon we all shall meet."
