Giving the Heart
How helpless fallen nature lies
Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 230 hymnals Scripture: Ezekiel 36:26 Lyrics: 1 How helpless fallen nature lies,
Unconscious of her load!
The heart unchanged can never rise
To happiness and God.
2 Can aught beneath a power divine
A stubborn will subdue?
'Tis thine, eternal Spirit, thine
To form the heart anew.
3 'Tis thine the passions to recall,
And bid them upward rise;
To make the scales of error fall
From reason's darkened eyes;--
4 To chase the shades of death away,
And bid the sinner live:
A beam of heaven, a vital ray,
'Tis thine alone to give.
5 Renew these wretched hearts of ours;
Oh, give us life divine!
Then shall our passions and our powers,
Almighty Lord, be thine.

Shed on us from above
Thine own bright ray.
Divinely good Thou art;
The sacred gifts impart
to gladden each sad heart.
Oh, come today!
2 Come, tend'rest Friend and best,
Our mot delightful Guest,
With soothing pow'r.
Rest which the weary know,
Shade mid the noon-tide glow,
Peace when deep griefs o'erflow,
Cheer us this hour.
3 Come, Light serene and still,
Our inmost bosoms fill,
Dwell in each breast.
We know no dawn but Thine:
Send forth Thy beams divine
On our dark souls to shine
And make us blest.
4 Exalt our low desires,
Extinguish passion's fires,
Heal every wound.
Our stubborn spirits bend,
Our icy coldness end,
Our devious steps attend
While heavenward bound.
5 Come, all the faithful bless;
Let all who Christ confess
His praise employ.
Give virtue's rich reward,
Victorious death accord
And, with our glorious Lord,
Eternal joy.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Pentecost Used With Tune: ITALIAN HYMN

And live in love and holy faith,
From You true wisdom learning.

On us shower;
By Your power
Christ confessing,
Let us see our Savior's blessing.

God, you touch the earth with beauty
Perfect in Jesus
Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: Ezekiel 36:25-26 First Line: Ye who know your sins forgiven Lyrics: 1 Ye who know your sins forgiven,
And are happy in the Lord,
Have you read that gracious promise
Which is left upon record?
I will sprinkle you with water,
I will cleanse you from all sin,
Sanctify and make you holy,
I will dwell and reign within.
2 Though you have much peace and comfort,
Greater things you yet may find;
Freedom from unholy tempers,
Freedom from the carnal mind.
To procure your perfect freedom,
Jesus suffered, groaned and died;
On the cross the healing fountain
Gushes from his wounded side.
3 O ye tender babes in Jesus,
Hear your Heavenly Father's will;
Claim your portion, plead his promise,
And he quickly will fulfill.
Pray, and the refining fire
Will come streaming from above;
Now believe, and gain the blessing,
Nothing less than perfect love.
4 If you have obtained this treasure,
Search, and you shall surely find
All the Christian marks and graces,
Planted, growing in your mind.
Perfect faith and perfect patience,
Perfect lowliness, and then,
Perfect hope and perfevt meekness,
Perfect love for God and man.

Come, thou Holy Spirit, come
Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878); Stephen Langton (d. 1228) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 63 hymnals Scripture: Ezekiel 36:26-27 Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Holy Spirit, come,
and from thy celestial home
shed a ray of light divine;
come, thou Father of the poor,
come, thou source of all our store,
come, within our hearts to shine.
2 Thou of comforters the best,
thou the soul's most welcome guest,
sweet refreshment here below;
in our labour rest most sweet,
grateful coolness in the heat,
solace in the midst of woe.
3 O most blessèd Light divine,
shine within these hearts of thine,
and our inmost being fill;
where thou art not, man hath naught,
nothing good in deed or thought,
nothing free from taint of ill.
4 Heal our wounds; our strength renew;
on our dryness pour thy dew;
wash the stains of guilt away;
bend the stubborn heart and will;
melt the frozen, warm the chill;
guide the steps that go astray.
5 On the faithful, who adore
and confess thee, evermore
in thy sevenfold gifts descend:
Give them virtue's sure reward,
give them thy salvation, Lord,
give them joys that never end. Topics: Church Year Pentecost; Holy Spirit as Comforter; Holy Spirit gifts of; Holy Spirit Invocation of; Light; Pentecost and the Work of the Holy Spirit; Renewal Used With Tune: VENI SANCTE SPIRITUS
