Devoting All to God
Author: Benjamin Beddome Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Blest Lord, my wand'ring heart recall Lyrics: 1. Blest Lord, my wand'ring heart recall,
From bondage set me loose;
I would not wish to live at all
Unless I live for you.
2. To you, wheree'er I pitch my tent,
I would an altar raise,
And with a humble frame present
The sacrifice of praise.
3. To you devote my health and strength,
While health and strength shall last,
For future mercies humbly trust,
Nor e'er forget the past.
4. Lord, guide me through the wilderness,
To Canaan's fertile land;
Through Jordan's stream fearlessly pass,
If you but give command. Topics: Ordinary Time Week 21; Feast of Tabernacles Scripture: Leviticus 23:42-43 Used With Tune: BANGOR

O Prophet Souls of All the Years
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O prophet souls of all the years,
speak yet to us in love;
your far-off vision, toil, and tears
to their fulfillment move.
2 From tropic clime and zones of frost
they come of every name;
this, this our day of Pentecost,
on us the tongues of flame.
3 One Life together we confess,
one all-in-dwelling Word,
one holy Call to righteousness
within the silence heard:
4 One Law that guides the shining spheres
as on through space they roll,
and speaks in flaming characters
on Sinais of the soul:
5 One Love, unfathomed, measureless,
an ever-flowing sea,
that holds within its vast embrace
time and eternity. Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Pentecost; Prophets Used With Tune: BANGOR
O Prophet Souls of All the Years
Terrible Thought! Shall I Alone
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 66 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Terrible thought! shall I alone—
Who may be saved—Shall I
Of all, alas! whom I have known,
Through sin for ever die?
2. While all my old companions dear,
With whom I once did live,
Joyful at God’s right hand appear,
A blessing to receive.
3. Shall I, amidst a ghastly band,
Dragged to the judgment seat,
Far on the left with horror stand,
My fearful doom to meet?
4. Ah, no! I still may turn and live,
For still His wrath delays;
He now vouchsafes a kind reprieve,
And offers me His grace.
5. I will accept His offers now,
From every sin depart,
Perform my oft-repeated vow
And render Him my heart.
6. I will improve what I receive,
The grace through Jesus giv’n;
Sure, if with God on earth I live,
To live with Him in Heav’n. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Hymns for Children, 1763

To Thee for help we fly;

Thy love our footsteps guide;
That love will all vain love expel;
That fear, all fear betide.

The good, unmasked, in mercy grant;
The ill, though asked, deny. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Poems on Sacred Subjects, 1763

Father And Canst Thou Me Receive?
Author: Christian H. Bateman, 1813-1889 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Father and canst Thou me receive Lyrics: 1 Father and canst Thou me receive,
So deep by sin defiled?
And canst Thou let the rebel live
And own Thy wandering child?
2 All sin, all rags, just as I am,
My Father, will I come,
All over guilt, I blush with shame,
And yet through Christ I come.
3 Thy choicest robe shall deck me well
Thy smile, my spirit cheer,
Bright angels loud my welcome tell,
Thy voice disperse my fear.
4 Oh wondrous grace! Oh love divine!
That lets the sinner live,
Father, receive me now as Thine,
And now Thy welcome give! Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Children's Hymnal and Christian Year (London: John Hodges, 1872)
Father And Canst Thou Me Receive?
Dear Lord! Behold Our Sore Distress
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord! behold our sore distress;
Our sins attempt to reign;
Stretch out Thine arm of conquering grace,
And let Thy foes be slain.
2 The lion with his dreadful roar
Affrights Thy feeble sheep:
Reveal the glory of Thy power,
And chain him to the deep.
3 Must we indulge a long despair?
Shall our petitions die?
Our mournings never reach Thine ear,
Nor tears affect Thine eye?
4 If Thou despise a mortal groan,
Yet hear a Savior’s blood;
An advocate so near the throne
Pleads and prevails with God.
5 He brought the Spirit’s powerful sword
To slay our deadly foes;
Our sins shall die beneath Thy Word,
And hell in vain oppose.
6 How boundless is our Father’s grace,
In height, and depth, and length!
He makes his Son our righteousness,
His Spirit is our strength. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1706-09, Book 2
