Now hear me while I pray, Take all my guilt away. O let me from this day Be wholly Thine! 2 May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire; As Thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee Pure, warm, and changeless be A living fire! 3 While life's dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread, Be Thou my guide; Bid darkness turn to day, Wipe sorrow's tears away, Nor let me ever stray From Thee aside. 4 When ends life's passing dream, When death's cold, threatening stream Shall o'er me roll, Blest Savior, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove; O bear me safe above, A ransomed soul!

Author: William D. Longstaff Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 346 hymnals Topics: Walking with God Purity and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Take time to be holy, Speak oft with thy Lord; Abide in Him always And feed on His Word. Make friends with God’s children, Help those who are weak; Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek. 2 Take time to be holy, The world rushes on; Spend much time in secret With Jesus alone. By looking to Jesus, Like Him thou shalt be; Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see. 3 Take time to be holy, Let Him be thy Guide, And run not before Him, Whatever betide. In joy or in sorrow Still follow thy Lord, And, looking to Jesus, Still trust in His Word. 4 Take time to be holy, Be calm in thy soul– Each tho't and each motive Beneath His control. Thus led by His Spirit To fountains of love, Thou soon shall be fitted For service above. Used With Tune: HOLINESS

Once to Every Man and Nation

Author: James Russell Lowell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 209 hymnals Topics: Walking with God Spiritual Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation Comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth with falsehood, For the good or evil side; Some great cause, some great decision, Off'ring each the bloom or blight, And the choice goes by forever 'Twixt that darkness and that light. 2 Then to side with truth is noble, When we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and profit, And 'tis prosp'rous to be just; Then it is the brave man chooses While the coward stands aside, Till the multitude make virtue Of the faith they had denied. 3 By the light of burning martyrs, Christ, Thy bleeding feet we track; Toiling up new Calv'ries ever With the cross that turns not back. New occasions teach new duties; Ancient values test our youth. They must upward still and onward, Who would keep abreast of truth. 4 Tho' the cause of evil prosper, Yet the truth alone is strong; Tho' her portion be the scaffold, And upon the throne be wrong, Yet that scaffold sways the future, And, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God, within the shadow, Keeping watch above His own.

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,346 hymnals Topics: Walking with God Commitment and Obedience Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, and hoped and known; Yet how rich is my condition, God and heav'n are still my own! 2 Let the world despise and leave me; They have left my Savior, too. Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like man, untrue. And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love and might, Foes may hate and friends may shun me. Show Thy face and all is bright. 3 Hasten on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heav'n's eternal days before me, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass my pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition; Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Used With Tune: ELLISDIE

Refrain: I’ll go where You want me to go, dear Lord, Over mountain, or plain, or sea. I’ll say what You want me to say, dear Lord. I’ll be what You want me to be. 2 Perhaps today there are loving words Which Jesus would have me speak; There may be now, in the paths of sin, Some wand’rer whom I should seek. O Savior, if Thou wilt be my Guide, Tho' dark and rugged the way, My voice shall echo the message sweet, I’ll say what you want me to say. [Refrain] 3 There’s surely somewhere a lowly place In earth’s harvest fields so wide Where I may labor thro' life’s short day For Jesus, the Crucified; So, trusting my all to Thy tender care, And knowing Thou lovest me, I’ll do Thy will with a heart sincere, I’ll be what You want me to be.

O this full and perfect peace! O this transport all divine! In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine. In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine. 2 Heav'n above is softer blue; Earth around is sweeter green. Something lives in every hue Christless eyes have never seen. Birds with gladder songs o'erflow; Flow'rs with deeper beauties shine, Since I know, as now I know, I am His and He is mine. Since I know, as now I know, I am His and He is mine. 3 Things that once were wild alarms Cannot now disturb my rest. Closed in everlasting arms, Pillowed on the loving breast - O to lie forever here, Doubt and care and self resign While He whispers in my ear, I am His and He is mine. While He whispers in my ear, I am His and He is mine. 4 His forever, only His; Who the Lord and me shall part? Ah, with what a rest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart! Heav'n and earth may fade and flee; First-born light in gloom decline. But while God and I shall be, I am His and He is mine. But while God and I shall be, I am His and He is mine.
