Lord, Speak to Me, That I May Speak
Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 483 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Example Lyrics: 1 Lord, speak to me that I may speak
in living echoes of your tone;
as you have sought, so let me seek
your wandering children, lost, alone.

the stumbling and the straying feet;
and feed me, Lord, that I may feed
your hungry ones with manna sweet.
3 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
the precious things which you impart;
snd wing my words, that they may reach
the hidden depths of many a heart.
4 O fill me with your fullness, Lord,
until my heart shall overflow
in kindling thought and glowing word,
your love to tell, your praise to show. Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:9 Used With Tune: CANONBURY

Take Time to Be Holy
Author: William D. Longstaff Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 345 hymnals Topics: Christ Example Lyrics: 1 Take time to be holy,
Speak oft with thy Lord;
Abide in Him always,
And feed on His Word.
Make friends of God's children;
Help those who are weak;
Forgetting in nothing
His blessing to seek.
2 Take time to be holy,
The world rushes on;
Spend much time in secret
With Jesus alone;
By looking to Jesus,
Like Him thou shalt be;
Thy friends in thy conduct
His likeness shall see.
3 Take time to be holy,
Let Him be thy guide,
And run not before Him,
Whatever betide;
In joy or in sorrow,
Still follow thy Lord,
And, looking to Jesus,
Still trust in His Word.
4 Take time to be holy,
Be calm in thy soul;
Each thought and each motive
Beneath His control;
Thus led by His Spirit
To fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted
For service above. Scripture: Hebrews 12:14 Used With Tune: HOLINESS

Behold, where in a mortal form
Author: William Enfield Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 210 hymnals Topics: Example and Teaching of Christ Lyrics: 1 Behold, where in a mortal form
Appears each grace divine!
The virtues, all in Jesus met,
With mildest radiance shine.
2 To spread the rays of heavenly light,
To give the mourner joy,
To preach glad tidings to the poor,
Was His divine employ.
3 'Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn,
Patient and meek He stood.
His foes, ungrateful, sought His life;
He labored for their good.
4 In the last hours of deep distress,
Before His Father's throne,
With soul resigned He bowed, and said,
"Thy will, not mine, be done!"
5 Be Christ our Pattern and our Guide!
His image may we bear!
O may we tread His holy steps,
His joys and glory share! Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL

Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 428 hymnals Topics: Christ's Example Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David’s city
stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her baby
in a manger for his bed.
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
who is God and Lord of all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall;
with the poor and meek and lowly
lived on earth our Savior holy.
3 For he is our childhood’s pattern,
day by day like us he grew;
he was little, weak, and helpless;
tears and smiles like us he knew;
and he feels for all our sadness,
and he shares in all our gladness.
4 And our eyes at last shall see him,
through his own redeeming love,
for that Child, so dear and gentle,
is our Lord in heav'n above,
and he leads his children on
to the place where he has gone.
5 Not in that poor lowly stable
with the oxen standing by
we shall see him, but in heaven,
set at God’s right hand on high.
There his children gather round,
bright like stars, with glory crowned. Scripture: Isaiah 7:14 Used With Tune: IRBY
