the wounded spirit heal.

in faith present our prayers,
and in the presence of our Lord
unbosom all our cares.

Shepherd of Souls, Refresh and Bless
Can creatures to perfection find
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 80 Lyrics:
[Can creatures to perfection find
Th' eternal, uncreated Mind?
Or can the largest stretch of thought
Measure and search his nature out?
'Tis high as heav'n, 'tis deep as hell
And what can mortals know or tell?
His glory spreads beyond the sky,
And all the shining worlds on high.
But man, vain man, would fain be wise;
Born like a wild young colt, he flies
Through all the follies of his mind,
And swells, and snuffs the empty wind.]
God is a King of power unknown,
Firm are the orders of his throne;
If he resolve, who dares oppose,
Or ask him why or what he does?
He wounds the heart, and he makes whole
He calms the tempest of the soul;
When he shuts up in long despair,
Who can remove the heavy bar?
He frowns, and darkness veils the moon;
The fainting sun grows dim at noon;
The pillars of heav'n's starry roof
Tremble and start at his reproof.
He gave the vaulted heav'n its form,
The crooked serpent, and the worm;
He breaks the billows with his breath,
And smites the sons of pride to death.
These are a portion of his ways;
But who shall dare describe his face?
Who can endure his light, or stand
To hear the thunders of his hand?

the splendour of your love;

and all our sins remove.

from fruitless fear unfurl our lives
like springtime bud and flower.
3 Bring us, O Christ, to share
the fullness of your joy;
baptize us in the risen life
that death cannot destroy.
4 Three-personed God, fulfil
the promise of your grace,
that we, when all our searching ends,
may see you face to face. Topics: Ash Wednesday; Lent (season); Baptism (general); Images of God Used With Tune: BELLWOODS
Restore in Us, O God
When Aimless Violence Takes Those We Love
Author: Joy F. Patterson, 1931- Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 80:5 Lyrics: 1 When aimless violence takes those we love,
when random death strikes childhood's promise down,
when wrenching loss becomes our daily bread,
we know, O God, you leave us not alone.
2 When passing years rob sight and strength and mind
yet fail to still a strongly beating heart,
and grief becomes the fabric of our days,
dear Lord, you do not stand from us apart.
3 Our faith may flicker low, and hope grow dim,
yet you, O God, are with us in our pain;
you grieve with us and for us day by day,
and with us, sharing sorrow, will remain.
4 Because your Son knew agony and loss,
felt desolation, grief, and scorn and shame,
we know you will be with us, come what may,
your loving presence near, always the same.
5 Through long, grief-darkened days help us, dear Lord,
to trust your grace for courage to endure,
to rest our souls in your supporting love,
and find our hope within your mercy sure.

When Aimless Violence Takes Those We Love
Before Prayer
Author: James Relly Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 80:1 First Line: Dear Shepherd, see thy flock here met Lyrics: 1 Dear Shepherd, see thy flock here met,
Before thy pierced feet to bow;
To praise thy wounds, thy blood and sweat,
Thro' which eternal love did flow.
2 Thou art with us where e'er we meet;
Nor wilt thou leave us holy Lamb:
We find a calm, a blest retreat
Beneath the cov'ring of thy name.
3 Great mercies thou to us hast shewn,
Since first we knew that we were thine:
Since first thou mark'd us for thy own,
With grace and righteousness divine.
4 Seal'd for thine own we surely are;
Thy spirit, Lord, our witness is:
Nor can we fall from Jesus far,
For he is love and tenderness.
5 There's none can pluck us from his hand,
Inclos'd by grace on ev'ry side;
His oath, his promise firmly stand,
We ever shall with him abide!
6 He never will himself deny;
Nor could he die for man in vain:
How then shall God in wrath destroy,
The S]souls for whom the Lamb was slain.
7 The countless price he paid for us,
Exempts us from the iron rod:
His life, his death, his blood and cross,
Hath reconcil'd us all to God.
