Come, Holy Spirit, raise our songs
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, raise our songs
To reach the wonders of the day,
When with Thy fiery cloven tongues
Thou didst those glorious scenes display.
2 O 'twas a most auspicious hour,
Season of grace and sweet delight,
When Thou didst come with mighty power,
And light of truth divinely bright!
3 By this the blest disciples knew
Their risen Head had entered heaven;
Had now obtained the promise due,
Fully by God the Father given.
4 Lord, we believe to us and ours
The apostolic promise given;
We wait the Pentecostal powers,
The Holy Ghost sent down from heaven.
5 Assembled here with one accord,
Calmly we wait the promised grace,
The purchase of our dying Lord:
Come, Holy Ghost, and fill the place.

Come, Holy Spirit, raise our songs
Look from thy sphere of endless day
Author: William Cullen Bryant, 1794 - 1878 Appears in 173 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Look from thy sphere of endless day,
O God of mercy and of might;
In pity look on those who stray,
Benighted in this land of light.
2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen,
In crowded mart, by stream or sea,
How many of the sons of men
Hear not the message sent from thee. A-men.
3 Send forth thy heralds, Lord, to call
The thoughtless young, the hardened old,
A scattered flock, and bring them all
To the good Shepherd's peaceful fold.
4 Send them thy mighty word, to speak
Till faith shall dawn and doubt depart,
To awe the bold, to stay the weak,
And bind and heal the broken heart.
5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene
On which, with sorrowing eyes, we gaze,
Shall grow with living waters green,
And lift to heaven the voice of praise.
Amen. Topics: Church Life and Work The Propagation of the Gospel Used With Tune: ST. CRISPIN

And Is The Gospel Peace And Love?
Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 195 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And is the Gospel peace and love?
Such let our conversation be;
The serpent blended with the dove,
Wisdom and meek simplicity.
2 Whene’er the angry passions rise,
And tempt our thoughts or tongues to strife,
To Jesus let us lift our eyes,
Bright pattern of the Christian life!
3 O how benevolent and kind!
How mild! how ready to forgive!
Be this the temper of our mind,
And these the rules by which we live.
4 To do His heavenly Father’s will,
Was His employment and delight;
Humility and holy zeal
Shone through His life, divinely bright!
5 Dispensing good where’er He came,
The labors of His life were love;
O, if we love the Savior’s name,
Let His divine example move.
6 But ah, how blind! how weak we are!
How frail! how apt to turn aside!
Lord, we depend upon Thy care,
And ask Thy Spirit for our guide.
7 Thy fair example may we trace,
To teach us what we ought to be;
Make us by Thy transforming grace,
Dear Savior, daily more like Thee. Used With Tune: ST. CRISPIN Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760

Can Thoughtless Sinners Hope For Heav'n?
Author: Benjamin Beddome Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Can thoughtless sinners hope for Heav’n? Lyrics: 1 Can thoughtless sinners hope for Heav’n?
Can unbelievers dwell at ease?
No real ground of hope is given,
No promise made to such as these.
2 Would they the gate celestial force?
A flaming sword shall guard the way:
Satan shall stop them in their course,
And eager seize his captive prey.
3 Heav’n from their vain attacks secure,
Shall still enjoy a settled peace:
Nor will a righteous God endure
Such daring rebels near His face.
4 Shut out from bliss, and bound in chains
Of heavy guilt, the traitors lie:
Deluged in wrath, enclosed in flames,
Dying they live, and living die.
5 Jesus, who art the Lord of all,
Oh let me Thy salvation see:
And when this earthly building fall,
Take my departing soul to Thee. Used With Tune: ST. CRISPIN Text Sources: Hymns Adapted to Public Worship (London: Burton & Briggs, 1818)
