I see thy cross -- there teach my heart to cling; oh, let me seek thee, and oh, 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 heaven-descended Dove, my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.

Almighty Father of all things that be

Author: Ernest Edward Dugmore (1843-1925) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #497 (2008) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Almighty Father of all things that be, our life, our work we consecrate to thee, whose heavens 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 glistening '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.

'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them, Lord, to thee

Author: Henry Montague Butler (1833-1918) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #518 (2008) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them, Lord, to thee; here at thy feet none other may we see: 'Lift up your hearts!' Even so, with one accord, we lift them up, we lift them to the Lord. 2 Above the level of the former years, the mire of sin, the slough of guilty fears, the mist of doubt, the blight of love's decay, O Lord of light, lift all our hearts to-day. 3 Lift every gift that thou thyself hast given: low lies the best till lifted up to heaven; low lie the bounding heart, the teeming brain, till, sent from God, they mount to God again. 4 Then, as the trumpet-call in after years, 'Lift up your hearts!' rings pealing in our ears, still shall those hearts respond with full accord, 'We lift them up, we lift them to the Lord.'

Abide with me: fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #580 (2008) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Abide with me: fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide: when other helpers fail, and comforts flee, help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; change and decay in all around I see: O thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need thy presence every passing hour; what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness: where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still if thou abide with me. 5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee: in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face

Author: Horatius N. Bonar (1808-1889) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #664a (2008) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: [before Communion] 1 Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face; here would I touch and handle things unseen, here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace, and all my weariness upon thee lean. 2 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. 3 Here would I feed upon the bread of God, here drink with thee the royal wine of heaven; here would I lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. 4 This is the hour of banquet and of song; this is the heavenly table spread for me; here let me feast, and, feasting, still prolong this hallowed hour of fellowship with thee. [after Communion] 5 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. 6 I have no help but thine; nor do I need another arm but thine to lean upon; it is enough, my Lord, enough indeed; my strength is in thy might, thy might alone. 7 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by, yet, passing, points to the glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb's great bridal feast of bliss and love.
