Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart

Author: George Croly Hymnal: RITL1985 #445 (1985) 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 the 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 heav'n-descended Dove: my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.

Almighty Father of All Things That Be

Author: Ernest E. Dugmore Hymnal: RITL1985 #509 (1985) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Almighty father of all things that be, our life, our work we consecrate to thee, whose heav'ns declare thy glory from above, whose earth below is witness to thy love. 2 For well we know this weary, soiled earth is yet thine own by right of its new birth, since that great cross upreared on Calvary redeemed it from its fault and shame to thee. 3 Thine still the changeful beauty of the hills, the purple valleys flecked with silver rills, the ocean glist'ning 'neath the golden rays: they all are thine, and ceaseless speak thy praise. 4 Thou dost the strength to worker's arms impart; from thee the skilled musician's reasoned art, the grace of poet's pen or painter's hand, to teach the loveliness of sea and land. 5 Then grant us, Lord, in all things thee to own, to dwell within the shadow of thy throne, to speak and work, to think and live and move reflecting thine own nature, which is love; 6 that so, by Christ redeemed from sin and shame, and hallowed by thy Spirit's cleansing flame, ourselves, our work, and all our powers may be a sacrifice acceptable to thee.

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: RITL1985 #517 (1985) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Savior, again to thy dear name we raise with one accord our parting hymn of praise. Guard thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame, that in this house have called upon thy name. 2 Grant us thy peace, Lord, through the coming night; turn thou for us its darkness into light; from harm and danger keep thy children free, for dark and light are both alike to thee. 3 Grant us thy peace throughout our earthly life; peace to thy church from error and from strife; peace to our land, the fruit of truth and love; peace in each heart, thy Spirit from above; 4 thy peace in life, the balm of ev'ry pain, thy peace in death, the hope to rise again; then when thy voice shall bid our conflict cease, call us, O Lord, to thine eternal peace.

Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: RITL1985 #549 (1985) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face; here would I touch and handle things unseen, here grasp with firmer hand th'eternal grace, and all my weariness upon thee lay. 2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God, here drink with thee the royal wine of heav'n; here would I lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n. 3 This is the hour of banquet and of song; this is the heav'nly table spread for me; here let me feast, and feasting still prolong this hallowed hour of fellowship with thee. 4 Too soon we rise: the symbols disappear; the feast, though not the love, is past and gone; the bread and wine remove, but thou art here, nearer than ever, still my Shield and Sun. 5 I have no help but thine; nor do I need another arm save thine to lean upon; it is enough, my Lord, enough indeed; my strength is in thy might, thy might alone. 6 Feast after fear thus comes and passes by, yet, passing, points to that glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb's great bridal feast of bliss and love. 6 Mine is the sin, but thine the righteousness; mine is the guilt, but thine the cleansing Blood. Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace; thy Blood, thy righteousness, O Lord, my God! Scripture: Revelation 19:9 Languages: English Tune Title: LANGRAN

When in Our Music God Is Glorified

Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: RITL1985 #508 (1985) Meter: 10.10.10.4 Lyrics: 1 When in our music God is glorified, and adoration leaves no room for pride, it is as though the whole creation cried Alleluia! 2 How often, making music, we have found a new dimension in the world of sound, as worship moved us to a more profound Alleluia! 3 So has the Church, in liturgy and song, in faith and love, through centuries of wrong, borne witness to the truth in ev'ry tongue, Alleluia! 4 And did not Jesus sing a psalm that night when utmost evil strove against the Light? Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight, Alleluia! 5 Let ev'ry instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always Alleluia!
