More Love to Thee
Author: Elizabeth P. Prentiss Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4.4 Appears in 867 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession First Line: More love to Thee, O Christ Lyrics: 1 More love to Thee, O Christ,
more love to Thee!
Hear Thou the pray'r I make
on bended knee.
This is my earnest plea:
More love, O Christ, to Thee;
more love to Thee,
more love to Thee!
2 Once earthly joy I craved,
sought peace and rest;
Now Thee alone I seek;
give what is best.
This all my pray'r shall be:
More love, O Christ, to Thee;
more love to Thee,
more love to Thee!
3 Let sorrow do its work,
come grief and pain;
sweet are Thy messengers,
sweet their refrain,
when they can sing with me:
More love, O Christ, to Thee;
more love to Thee,
more love to Thee!
4 Then shall my latest breath
whisper Thy praise;
this be the parting cry
my heart shall raise;
this still its pray'r shall be:
More love, O Christ, to Thee;
more love to Thee,
more love to Thee! Used With Tune: MORE LOVE TO THEE

My Soul, Be on Thy Guard
Author: George Heath Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,412 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession Lyrics: 1 My soul, be on thy guard;
ten thousand foes arise;
the hosts of sin are pressing hard
to draw thee from the skies.
2 O watch, and fight, and pray;
the battle ne'er give o'er;
renew it boldly every day,
and help divine implore.
3 Ne'er think the vict'ry won,
nor once at ease sit down;
the arduous work will not be done
till thou hast got the crown.
4 Fight on, my soul, till death
shall bring thee to my God;
He'll take thee, at thy parting breath,
up to His rest above. Used With Tune: LABAN
My Soul, Be on Thy Guard
O for a Closer Walk with God
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,418 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God,
a calm and heav'nly frame,
a light to shine upon the road
that leads me to the Lamb!
2 Where is the blessedness I knew
when first I sought the Lord?
Where is the soul refreshing view
of Jesus and His Word?
3 What peaceful hours I then enjoyed!
How sweet their mem'ry still!
But they have left an aching void
the world can never fill.
4 Return, O holy Dove, return,
sweet messenger of rest;
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn,
and drove Thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from Thy throne
and worship only Thee.
6 So shall my walk be close with God,
calm and serene my frame;
so purer light shall mark the road
that leads me to the Lamb. Used With Tune: CAITHNESS
O for a Closer Walk with God
Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,932 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling,
joy of heav'n to earth come down,
fix in us Thy humble dwelling;
all Thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, Thou art all compassion;
pure, unbounded love Thou art;
visit us with Thy salvation;
enter ev'ry trembling heart.
2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit
into ev'ry troubled breast!
Let us all in Thee inherit;
let us find the promised rest.
Take away the love of sinning;
Alpha and Omega be;
end of faith, as its beginning:
set our hearts at liberty.
3 Come, Almighty, to deliver;
let us all Thy life receive;
suddenly return and never,
nevermore Thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
pray and praise Thee without ceasing,
glory in Thy perfect love.
4 Finish then Thy new creation;
pure and spotless let us be.
Let us see Thy great salvation
perfectly restored in Thee.
Changed from glory into glory,
till in heav'n we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before Thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise. Used With Tune: BEECHER
Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Teach Me, My God and King
Author: George Herbert; John Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 269 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession Lyrics: 1 Teach me, my God and King,
in all things Thee to see,
and what I do in anything,
to do it as for Thee.
2 To scorn the senses’ sway,
while still to Thee I tend;
in all I do be Thou the Way,
in all be Thou the End.
3 All may of Thee partake;
nothing so small can be,
but draws, when acted for Thy sake,
greatness and worth from Thee.
4 If done t'obey Thy laws,
e’en servile labors shine;
hallowed is toil, if this the cause,
the meanest work divine.
Used With Tune: FESTAL SONG
Teach Me, My God and King
Am I a Soldier of the Cross
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,055 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
a foll'wer of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own His cause
or blush to speak His Name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
on flow'ry beds of ease,
while others fought to win the prize
and sailed through bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace
to help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign;
increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
supported by Thy Word.
5 Thy saints in all this glorious war
shall conquer, though they die;
they see the triumph from afar
by faith's discerning eye.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
and all Thine armies shine
in robes of vict'ry through the skies,
the glory shall be Thine. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON
Am I a Soldier of the Cross
Soldiers of Christ, Arise
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 933 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise,
and put your armor on,
strong in the strength which God supplies
through His eternal Son;
strong in the Lord of hosts
and in His mighty pow'r,
who in the strength of Jesus trusts
is more than conqueror.
2 Stand then in His great might,
with all His strength endued,
and take, to aid you in the fight,
the panoply of God.
From strength to strength go on,
wrestle and fight and pray;
tread all the pow'rs of darkness down
and win the well-fought day.
3 Leave no unguarded place,
no weakness of the soul;
take ev'ry virtue, ev'ry grace,
and fortify the whole.
That, having all things done
and all your conflicts past,
ye may o'ercome through Christ alone
and stand complete at last. Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
Soldiers of Christ, Arise
Lord, Speak to Me, That I May Speak
Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 483 hymnals Topics: Profession of Faith Lyrics: 1 Lord, speak to me that I may speak
In living echoes of Thy tone;
As Thou hast sought, so let me seek
Thy erring children lost and lone.
2 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
The precious things Thou dost impart;
And wing my words that they may reach
The hidden depths of many a heart.
3 O lead me, Lord, that I may lead
The wandering and the wavering feet;
O feed me, Lord, that I may feed
The hungering ones with manna sweet.
4 O strengthen me that while I stand
Firm on the Rock, and strong in Thee,
I may stretch out a loving hand
To wrestlers with the troubled sea.
5 O use me, Lord, use even me,
Just as Thou wilt, and when, and where;
Until Thy blessed face I see,
Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share. Used With Tune: CANONBURY
Lord, Speak to Me, That I May Speak
