Draw nigh to Thy Jerusalem, O Lord

Author: Bishop Jeremy Taylor (1613-1667) Hymnal: HPAG1933 #148 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Draw nigh to Thy Jerusalem, O Lord, Thy faithful people cry with one accord: Ride on in triumph; Lord, behold, we lay Our passions, lusts, and proud wills in Thy way! 2 Thy road is ready; and Thy paths, made straight, With longing expectations seem to wait The consecration of Thy beauteous feet, And silently Thy promised advent greet! 3 Hosanna! welcome to our hearts! for here Thou hast a temple, too, as Zion dear; O enter in, dear Lord, unbar the door And in that temple dwell forevermore.

O Thou great Friend to all the sons of men

Author: Rev. Theodore Parker Hymnal: HPAG1933 #174 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 O Thou great Friend to all the sons of men, Who once appeared in humblest guise below, Sin to rebuke, to break the captive’s chain, And call Thy brethren forth from want and woe, 2 Thee would I sing: Thy truth is still the light Which guides the nations groping on their way, Stumbling and falling in disastrous night, Yet hoping ever for the perfect day. 3 Yes, Thou art still the Life; Thou art the Way The holiest know— Light, Life, and Way of heaven; And they who dearest hope and deepest pray Toil by the truth, life, way, which Thou hast given.

Spirit of God, descend upon my heart

Author: Rev. George Croly Hymnal: HPAG1933 #204 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart; Wean it from earth; through all its pulses move; Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art, And make me love Thee as I ought to love. 2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies, No sudden rending of the veil of clay, No angel visitant, no opening skies; But take the dimness of my soul away. 3 Hast Thou not bid us love Thee, God and King? All, all Thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind; I see Thy cross— there teach my heart to cling: O let me seek Thee, and O let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh; Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love, One holy passion filling all my frame; The baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.

Author: Rev. William H. Foulkes Hymnal: HPAG1933 #245 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Take Thou our minds, dear Lord, we humbly pray; Give us the mind of Christ each passing day; Teach us to know the truth that sets us free; Grant us in all our thoughts to honor Thee. 2 Take Thou our hearts, O Christ, they are Thine own; Come Thou within our souls and claim Thy throne; Help us to shed abroad Thy deathless love; Use us to make the earth like heaven above. 3 Take Thou our wills, Most High! Hold Thou full sway; Have in our inmost souls Thy perfect way; Guard Thou each sacred hour from selfish ease; Guide Thou our ordered lives as Thou dost please. 4 Take Thou ourselves, O Lord, heart, mind, and will; Through our surrendered souls Thy plans fulfill. We yield ourselves to Thee— time, talents, all; We hear, and henceforth heed, Thy sovereign call. Amen.

Lord, what a change within us

Author: Archbishop Richard Chenevix Trench; Rev. William Pierson Merrill Hymnal: HPAG1933 #250 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Lord, what a change within us one short hour Spent in Thy presence will prevail to make; What heavy burdens from our bosoms take, What parched fields refresh as with a shower! 2 We kneel, and all around us seems to lower; We rise, and all, the distant and the near, Stands forth in sunny outline, brave and clear; We kneel, how weak; we rise, how full of power! 3 Why should we ever weak or heartless be, Why are we ever overborne with care, Anxious or troubled, when with us is prayer, And joy and strength and courage are with Thee?

"Lift up your hearts!" We lift them, Lord, to Thee

Author: Henry Montague Butler (1833-1918) Hymnal: HPAG1933 #258 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 "Lift up your hearts!" We lift them, Lord, to Thee; Here at Thy feet none other may we see: "Lift up your hearts!" E'en so, with one accord, We lift them up, we lift them to the Lord. 2 Above the level of the former years, The mire of sin, the weight of guilty fears, The mist of doubt, the blight of love's decay, O Lord of Light, lift all our hearts today! 3 Lift every gift that Thou Thyself hast given: Low lies the best till lifted up to heaven; Low lie the bounding heart, the teeming brain, Till, sent from God, they mount to God again. 4 Then, as the trumpet call in after years, "Lift up your hearts!" rings pealing in our ears, Still shall those hearts respond with full accord, "We lift them up, we lift them to the Lord!" Amen. Topics: The Life in Christ Aspiration Tune Title: WOODLANDS

Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace

Author: William Henry Burleigh Hymnal: HPAG1933 #262 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace: Without Thy guiding hand we go astray, And doubts appall, and sorrows still increase; Lead us through Christ, the true and living Way. 2 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth: Unhelped by Thee, in error's maze we grope, While passion stains and folly dims our youth, And age comes on uncheered by faith or hope. 3 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right: Blindly we stumble when we walk alone, Involved in shadows of a darkening night; Only with Thee we journey safely on. 4 Lead us, O Father, to Thy heavenly rest, However rough and steep the pathway be, Through joy or sorrow, as Thou deemest best, Until our lives are perfected in Thee. Amen. Topics: The Life in Christ Aspiration; God Guidance, His; God Love and Fatherhood, His; Peace, Spiritual; Rest; Trust and Confidence; Truth Languages: English Tune Title: ELLINGHAM

Thou Life within my life, than self more near

Author: Eliza Scudder Hymnal: HPAG1933 #320 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Thou life within my life, than self more near, Thou veiled Presence infinitely clear, From all illusive shows of sense I flee, To find my center and my rest in Thee. 2 Below all depths Thy saving mercy lies, Through thickest gloom I see Thy light arise, Above the highest heaven Thou art not found More surely than within this earthly round. 3 Take part with me against those doubts that rise And seek to throne Thee far in distant skies; Take part with me against this self that dares Assume the burden of these sins and cares. 4 How shall I call Thee who art always here? How shall I praise Thee who art still most dear? What may I give Thee save what Thou hast given, And whom but Thee have I in earth or heaven? Amen.

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all. Amen.

Author: Alexander Pope Hymnal: HPAG1933 #346 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise! Exalt thy towering head and lift thine eyes!
