Make Me a Captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 120 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord,
and then I shall be free;
force me to render up my sword,
and I shall conqueror be.
2 I sink in life's alarms
when by myself I stand;
imprison me within thine arms,
and strong shall be my hand.
3 My heart is weak and poor
until it master find;
it has no spring of action sure--
it varies with the wind.
4 It cannot freely move
till thou hast wrought its chain;
enslave it with thy matchless love,
and deathless it shall reign.
5 My will is not my own
till thou hast made it thine;
if it would reach a monarch's throne,
it must its crown resign.

Far from My Heavenly Home
Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 146 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Far from my heavenly home,
Far from my Father’s breast,
Fainting I cry, blest Spirit, come
And speed me to my rest.
2. Upon the willows long
My harp has silent hung:
How should I sing a cheerful song
Till Thou inspire my tongue?
3. My spirit homeward turns
And fain would thither flee;
My heart, O Zion, droops and yearns,
When I remember thee.
4. To thee, to thee I press,
A dark and toilsome road;
When shall I pass the wilderness,
And reach the saint’s abode?
5. God of my life, be near;
On Thee my hopes I cast:
O guide me through the desert here,
And bring me home at last. Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE Text Sources: Spirit of the Psalms, 1834

Believe Not Those Who Say
Author: Anne Brontë Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Believe not those who say
The upward path is smooth;
Lest thou should stumble in the way,
And faint before the truth.
2 Arm, arm thee for the fight:
Cast useless loads away;
Watch through the darkest hours of night;
Toil through the hottest day.
3 To labor and to love,
To pardon and endure,
To lift thy heart to God above,
And keep thy conscience pure,
4 Be this thy constant aim,
Thy hope, thy chief delight;
What matter who should whisper blame
Or who should scorn or slight,
5 If but thy God approve,
And if, within thy breast,
Thou feel the comfort of His love,
The earnest of His rest?
Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-17 Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE
