Spirit of wisdom, turn our eyes
Author: Anon. Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Spirit of wisdom, turn our eyes
From earth and earthly vanities
To heavenly truth and love;
Spirit of understanding true,
Our souls with heavenly light endue
To seek the things above.
2 Spirit of counsel, be our guide;
Teach us, by earthly struggles tried,
Our heavenly crown to win:
Spirit of fortitude, thy power
Be with us in temptation's hour,
To keep us pure from sin.
3 Spirit of knowledge, lead our feet
In Thine own paths, so safe and sweet,
By angel footsteps trod;
Where thou our guardian true shalt be,
Spirit of gentle piety,
To keep us close to God.
4 Through all our life be ever near,
Spirit of god's most holy fear,
In our heart's inmost shrine:
Our souls with awful reverence fill,
To worship His most holy will,
All-righteous and divine.
5 So lead, us, Lord, through peace or strife,
Onward to everlasting life,
To win our high reward:
So may we fight our lifelong fight,
Strong in Thine own unearthly might,
And reign with Christ, our Lord. Topics: The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Easter; The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Easter; Heavenly Mind; Holy Ghost Our Guide Used With Tune: [Spirit of wisdom, turn our eyes]

Christ My Helper
Author: J. L. Scott Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Christ of God who lived for me Lyrics: 1 O Christ of God who lived for me,
With joy I lift my voice to Thee,
And pray that Thou wouldst hear;
As Thou didst die upon the tree
To save my soul and make it free,
Be Thou my helper near.
2 And should I wander far from Thee
O’er desert wastes of land and sea,
Still be Thou at my side;
For kept by Thee I cannot stray,
Except to find a better way,
My Savior, and my guide.
3 And when my work on earth is o’er,
The sun has set to rise no more,
And night is sweeping by;
Then through the darkness I would see
Thy radiant face look down on me,
A beacon in the sky. Used With Tune: ŚLĄSK Text Sources: Consecrated Hymns by Adam Geibel et al. (Philadelphia: Geibel & Lehman, 1902)

Jesu, Thy Weak Disciples See
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jesu, Thy weak disciples see,
Entreated in the world like Thee,
Partakers of Thy shame;
Because we will not let Thee go,
Sweet fellowship with Thee to know,
And suffer for Thy name.
2 Thy marks we in our body bear,
Our master’s cross we daily share,
And bless the sacred sign,
Here buffeted for doing well,
We thankfully accept the seal,
And feel that we are Thine.
3 Our back we to the smiters give,
Evil for good with joy receive,
Nor meanly strive to hide
From spitting, and from shame our face,
But glory in the full disgrace
Of Jesus crucified.
4 For Thy dear sake we suffer wrong,
And persecuted all day long,
We thus the crown ensure,
As sheep appointed to be slain,
Our portion of contempt and pain
We to the end endure.
5 We in Thy strength can all things do,
Thro’ Thee can all things suffer too,
When Thou the power shalt give,
We then by faith shall see Thee stand
The Great High Priest at God’s right hand,
Our spirits to receive.
6 Wherefore to Thee our souls we trust,
Our Savior to the uttermost
To Thee we boldly come,
With joy upon our heads return,
High on the wings of angels borne
To our eternal home. Used With Tune: FRANCES Text Sources: Hymns for Times of Trouble and Persecution by John and Charles Wesley (London: Strahan, 1744)
