See Israel's gentle Shepherd stand

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #517 (1997) Topics: Sacraments and Ordinances Baptism Lyrics: 1 See Israel's gentle Shepherd stand with all-engaging charms; hark, how he calls the tender lambs, and folds them in his arms. 2 "Permit them to approach," he cries, "nor scorn their humble name, for 'twas to bless such souls as these the Lord of angels came." 3 We bring them, Lord, in thankful hands, and yield them up to thee; joyful that we ourselves are thine; thine let our children be.

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Laudes Domini #518 (1888) Topics: Church Ordinances of First Line: Take my heart, O Father! take it Lyrics: 1 Take my heart, O Father! take it; Make and keep it all thine own; Let thy Spirit melt and break it-- This proud heart of sin and stone. 2 Father, make me pure and lowly, Fond of peace and far from strife; Turning from the paths unholy Of this vain and sinful life. 3 Ever let thy grace surround me, Strengthen me with power divine, Till thy cords of love have bound me: Make me to be wholly thine. 5 May the blood of Jesus heal me, And my sins be all forgiven; Holy Spirit, take and seal me, Guide me in the path to heaven.

Glorying in the Cross

Author: John Bowring Hymnal: Laudes Domini #519 (1888) Topics: Church Ordinances of First Line: In the cross of Christ I glory Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life o'ertake me, Hopes deceive, and fears annoy, Never shall the cross forsake me: Lo! it glows with peace and joy. 3 When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way, From the cross the radiance, streaming, Adds more lustre to the day. 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the cross are sanctified; Peace is there, that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide. 5 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime.

"Till he come"

Author: George Rawson Hymnal: Laudes Domini #520 (1888) Topics: Church Ordinances of First Line: By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored Refrain First Line: Until he come. Lyrics: 1 By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored, We keep the memory adored, And show the death of our dear Lord, Until he come. 2 His body broken in our stead Is here, in this memorial bread; And so our feeble love is fed, Until he come. 3 His fearful drops of agony, His life-blood shed for us we see: The wine shall tell the mystery, Until he come. 4 And thus that dark betrayal night, With the last advent we unite-- The shame, the glory, by this rite, Until he come. 5 Until the trump of God be heard, Until the ancient graves be stirred, And with the great commanding word, The Lord shall come. 6 Oh, blessed hope! with this elate, Let not our hearts be desolate, But, strong in faith, in patience wait, Until he come! Scripture: Mark 14:26 Languages: English Tune Title: HANFORD

Living in Christ

Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Laudes Domini #521 (1888) Topics: Church Ordinances of First Line: My gracious Lord, I own thy right Lyrics: 1 My gracious Lord, I own thy right To every service I can pay, And call it my supreme delight To hear thy dictates and obey. 2 What is my being, but for thee, Its sure support, its noblest end? Thine ever-smiling face to see, And serve the cause of such a Friend. 3 I would not breathe for worldly joy, Or to increase my worldly good; Nor future days nor powers employ To spread a sounding name abroad. 4 'Tis to my Saviour I would live, To him who for my ransom died; Nor could the bowers of Eden give Such bliss as blossoms at his side. 5 His work my hoary age shall bless, When youthful vigor is no more; And my last hour of life confess His dying love, his saving power.

"Bought with a price"

Author: Samuel Davies Hymnal: Laudes Domini #522 (1888) Topics: Church Ordinances of First Line: Lord, I am thine, entirely thine Lyrics: 1 Lord, I am thine, entirely thine, Purchased and saved by blood divine, With full consent thine I would be, And own thy sovereign right in me. 2 Grant one poor sinner more a place Among the children of thy grace; A wretched sinner, lost to God, But ransomed by Immanuel's blood. 3 Thine would I love, thine would I die, Be thine through all eternity; The vow is past beyond repeal; And now I set the solemn seal. 4 Here at that cross where flows the blood That bought my guilty soul for God, Thee, my new Master now I call, And consecrate to thee my all. 5 Do thou assist a feeble worm, The great engagement to perform; Thy grace can full assistance lend, And on that grace I dare depend. Scripture: Ruth 1:16 Languages: English Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM (Mason's)
