The Wind of Change Forever Blown

Author: Sarojini Naidu, 1879-1949 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 The wind of change forever blown across the tumult of our way, tomorrow’s unborn griefs depose the sorrows of our yesterday. Dream yields to dream, strife follows strife, and death unweaves the webs of life. 2 For us the labor and the heat, the broken secrets of our pride, the strenuous lessons of defeat, the flower deferred, the fruit denied; but not the peace, supremely won, great Buddha, of the lotus throne. 3 With futile hands we seek to gain our inaccessible desire, diviner summits to attain, with faith that sinks and feet that tire; but nought shall conquer or control the heav’nward hunger of our soul. 4 The end, elusive and afar, still lures us with its beck’ning flight, and our immortal moments are a session of the infinite. How shall we reach the great, unknown nirvana of your lotus throne?

O Dear Redeemer Crucified

Author: Anna Hoppe Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O dear Redeemer crucified, Thou faithful Shepherd who hast died To save from death Thy helpless sheep, We pray Thee, risen Saviour, keep In Thy secure protection still The sheep who hearken to Thy will. 2 All we like sheep had gone astray From Thy blest fold and lost our way, Left pleasant pastures, verdant lands, For barren wastes and desert sands; But O, Thy shepherd-love so deep Sought till it found Thy erring sheep. 3 O Shepherd Saviour, we rejoice To be Thine own, to hear Thy voice. Bought with a price, we now are Thine, And known of Thee, O Love divine! By grace unto Thy fold restored, Let us not stray again, dear Lord. 4 Dear Lord, our eyes of faith behold In truth one Shepherd and one fold, Kept through the Spirit's bond of peace In unity which ne'er shall cease. As Thou hast promised, we shall be Thine own in all eternity. Amen.

The Abyss Of Many A Former Sin

Author: Joseph of the Studium Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: Th'abyss of many a former sin Lyrics: 1 Th'abyss of many a former sin Encloses me, and bars me in: Like billows my transgressions roll-- Be Thou the pilot of my soul; And to salvation’s harbor bring, Thou Savior and Thou glorious King! 2 My Father’s heritage abused, Wasted by lust, by sin misused; To shame and want and mis'ry brought, The slave to many a fruitless thought:-- I cry to Thee, who lovest men, O pity and receive again! 3 In hunger now, no more possessed Of that my portion bright and blest, The exile and the alien see, Who yet would fain return to Thee! Accept me, Lord, I seek Thy grace; And let me see a Father's face! 4 With that blest thief my prayer I make, Remember for Thy mercy’s sake! With that poor publican I cry, Be merciful, O God, most high! With that lost prodigal I fain, Back to my home would turn again! 5 Mourn, mourn, my soul, with earnest care, And raise to Christ the contrite prayer;-- Oh, Thou who freely wast made poor, My sorrows and my sins to cure, Me, poor of all good works, embrace, Enriching with Thy boundless grace! Topics: Call and Repentance Used With Tune: [Th'abyss of many a former sin]
