I see your cross: there teach my heart to cling. O let me seek you and O let me find! 4 Teach me to love you as your angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame, the baptism of the heaven-descended dove, my heart an altar and your love the flame.

O sing of God's grace, whose robe is the light; whose canopy space; whose chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and broad is God's path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, your power has founded of old; has stablished it fast by a changeless decree, and round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Your bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in you do we trust, nor find you to fail; your mercies how tender, how firm to the end, our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

Hail, in the time appointed his reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, to set the captive free, to take away transgression and rule in equity. 2 He comes with rescue speedy to those who suffer wrong; to help the poor and needy and bid the weak be strong: to give them songs for sighing, their darkness turn to light, whose souls, condemned and dying, are precious in his sight. 3 He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth; and love, joy, and hope, like flowers spring in his path to birth: before him on the mountains shall peace, the herald, go; and righteousness in fountains from hill to valley flow. 4 Kings shall bow down before him and gold and incense bring; all nations shall adore him, his praise all people sing: to him shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend; his kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end. 5 In all the world victorious, he on his throne shall rest; from age to age more glorious, all-blessing and all-blessed: the tide of time shall never his covenant remove; his name shall stand for ever, his changeless name of love.

Fire of the Spirit, burn for our enduring, wind of the Spirit, fan the living flame! We turn to Christ amid our fear and failing, the will that lacks the courage to be free, the weary labours, all but unavailing, to bring us nearer what a church should be. 2 Lord of the church, we seek a Father's blessing, a true repentance and a faith restored, a swift obedience and a new possessing, filled with the Holy Spirit of the Lord! We turn to Christ from all our restless striving, unnumbered voices with a single prayer — the living water for our souls' reviving, in Christ to live, and love and serve and care. 3 Lord of the church, we long for our uniting, true to one calling, by one vision stirred; one cross proclaiming and one creed reciting, one in the truth of Jesus and his word! So lead us on; till toil and trouble ended, one church triumphant one new song shall sing, to praise his glory, risen and ascended, Christ over all, the everlasting king!
