Take me, O my Father, take me

Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #410 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Longing for Christ and God Lyrics: 1 Take me, O my Father, take me; Take me, save me, through thy Son; That which thou wouldst have me, make me, Let thy will in me be done. Long from thee my footsteps straying, Thorny proved the way I trod; Weary come I now, and praying, Take me to thy love, my God. 2 Fruitless years with grief recalling, Humbly I confess my sin; At thy feet, O Father, falling, To thy household take me in. Freely now to thee I proffer This relenting heart of mine; Freely life and soul I offer, Gift unworthy love like thine. 3 Once the world's Redeemer, dying, Bore our sins upon the tree; On that sacrifice relying, Now I look in hope to thee: Father, take me; all forgiving, Fold me to thy loving breast; In thy love for ever living I must be for ever blest. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 119:176 Languages: English Tune Title: VESPER HYMN

None other Lamb, none other Name

Author: Christina G. Rossetti Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #115 (1961) Meter: 8.10.10.4 Topics: Longing for Christ and God Lyrics: 1 None other Lamb, none other Name, None other Hope in heav'n or earth or sea, None other Hiding-place from guilt and shame, None beside thee! 2 My faith burns low, my hope burns low; Only my heart's desire cries out in me By the deep thunder of its want and woe, Cries out to thee. 3 Lord, thou art Life, though I be dead; Love's fire thou art, however cold I be: Nor heav'n have I, nor place to lay my head, Nor home, but thee. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 73:25 Languages: English Tune Title: ROSSETTI
