Heir of salvation, purchase of God, born of his Spirit, washed in his blood. Refrain: This is my story; this is my song: praising my Saviour all the day long; this is my story; this is my song: praising my Saviour all the day long. 2 Perfect submission, perfect delight, visions of rapture now burst on my sight; angels descending bring from above echoes of mercy, whispers of love. [Refrain] 3 Perfect submission, all is at rest; I in my Saviour am happy and blest, watching and waiting, looking above, filled with his goodness, lost in his love.

Come, O thou traveler unknown

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 302 hymnals Topics: One Life in Christ Love Lyrics: 1 Come, O thou traveler unknown, whom still I hold, but cannot see! My company before is gone, and I am left alone with thee. With thee all night I mean to stay, and wrestle till the break of day. With thee all night I mean to stay, and wrestle till the break of day. 2 I need not tell thee who I am, my misery or sin declare; thyself hast called me by my name, look on thy hands and read it there. But who, I ask thee, who art thou? Tell me thy name, and tell me now. But who, I ask thee, who art thou? Tell me thy name, and tell me now. 3 Yield to me now for I am weak, but confident in self-despair! Speak to my heart, in blessing speak; be conquered by my instant prayer. Speak, or thou never hence shalt move, and tell me if thy name is Love. Speak, or thou never hence shalt move, and tell me if thy name is Love. 4 'Tis Love!'tis Love! thou diedst for me, I hear thy whisper in my heart. The morning breaks, the shadows flee; pure, universal love thou art. To me, to all, thy mercies move; thy nature and thy name is Love. To me, to all, thy mercies move; thy nature and thy name is Love. Scripture: Genesis 32:22-32 Used With Tune: CANDLER

Give to us peace in our time, O Lord. 4 God the all-wise, by the fire of your chastening earth shall to freedom and truth be restored. Though the thick darkness your Kingdom is hastening. You will give peace in your time, O Lord. 5 So shall your children, with thankful devotion, praise God who saved them from peril and sword, singing in chorus, from ocean to ocean, peace to the nations and praise to the Lord.

How clear is our vocation, Lord

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903- Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: One Life in Christ Discipleship Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord, when once we heed your call: to live according to your Word, and daily learn, refreshed, restored that you are Lord of all and will not let us fall. 2 But if, forgetful, we should find your yoke is hard to bear, if worldly pressures fray the mind and love itself cannot unwind its tangled skein of care: our inward life repair. 3 We mark your saints, how they became in hindrances more sure, whose joyful virtues put to shame the casual way we wear your name, and by our faults obscure your power to cleanse and cure. 4 In what you give us, Lord, to do, together or alone, in old routines and ventures new, may we not cease to look to you– the cross you hung upon— all you endeavored done.

Though my sins against me cried, thou didst clear me, and alone, when they replied, thou didst hear me. 3 Seven whole days, not one in seven, I will praise thee; in my heart, though not in heaven, I can raise thee. Small it is, in this poor sort to enrol thee: e'en eternity's too short to extol thee. Scripture: Psalm 119:164 Used With Tune: GWALCHMAI
