wean it from sin, through all its pulses move.
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as you are,
and make me love you as I ought to love.
2 Did you not bid us love you, God and King,
love you with all our heart and strength and mind?
I see the cross - there teach my heart to cling.
O let me seek you and O let me find!
3 Teach me to feel that you are always nigh;
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
teach me the patience of unceasing prayer.
4 Teach me to love you as your angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame:
the fullness of the heav'n-descended dove;
my heart an altar, and your love the flame. Topics: Spirit and Sustainer; Holy Spirit; Holy Spirit--Illumination; Holy Spirit--Presence of Used With Tune: MORECAMBE

Pour Out Thy Spirit
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 209 hymnals Scripture: Joel 2:28-29 First Line: Pour out Thy Spirit from on high Lyrics: 1 Pour out Thy Spirit from on high;
Lord, Thine assembled servants bless;
Graces and gifts to each supply,
And clothe them with Thy righteousness.
2 Wisdom and zeal and faith impart,
Firmness with meekness, from above,
To bear Thy people on our heart,
And love the souls whom Thou dost love:
3 To watch and pray, and never faint;
By day and night strict guard to keep;
To warn the sinner, cheer the saint,
Nourish Thy lambs, and feed Thy sheep.
5 Then, when their work is finished here,
In humble hope, our charge resign.
When the chief Shepherd shall appear,
O God! may they and we be Thine.
Amen. Used With Tune: MENDON

Great God, whose universal sway
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Scripture: Joel 2:23 Lyrics: 1 Great God, whose universal sway
The known and unknown worlds obey,
Now give the kingdom to thy Son;
Extend his power, exalt his throne.
2 As rain on meadows newly mown,
So shall he send his influence down;
His grace on fainting souls distils,
Like heavenly dew on thirsty hills.
3 The heathen lands that lie beneath
The shades of overspreading death,
Revive at his first dawning light,
And deserts blossom at the sight.
4 The saints shall flourish in his days,
Dressed in the robes of joy and praise;
Peace, like a river, from his throne,
Shall flow to nations yet unknown. Topics: Christ Intercession and Reign; Universal Reign of Christ

they all from nothing came;
and all shall last
from changes free;

stands ever fast.

deserves our endless praise;

for the facing of this hour,
for the facing of this hour.

scorn thy Christ, assail his ways!
From the fears that long have bound us,
free our hearts to faith and praise.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
for the living of these days,
for the living of these days.
3 Cure thy children’s warring madness;
bend our pride to thy control;
shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
rich in things and poor in soul.

lest we miss thy kingdom’s goal,
lest we miss thy kingdom’s goal.

to the evils we deplore.
Let the search for thy salvation
be our glory evermore.

serving thee whom we adore. Topics: Church; Crisis Local, National, Global; Evil; God Presence of; Justice Economic; Nonviolence; Peace and Justice; Peace Conflict and War; Persecution; Wisdom Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA Text Sources: Praise and Service

speak ye peace: thus saith our God.
Comfort those who sit in darkness
bowed beneath oppression's load;
speak ye to Jerusalem
of the peace that waits for them:
tell her that her sins I cover,
and her warfare now is over.

in the desert far and near,
calling us to new repentance
since the reign of God is here.
Oh, that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for Christ a way;
let the valleys rise to meet him,
and the hills bow down to greet him.
3 Make ye straight what long was crooked;
make the rougher places plain.
Let your hearts be true and humble
as befits Messiah's reign.
For the glory of the Lord
now o'er earth is shed abroad,
and all flesh shall see the token
that God's Word is never broken. Topics: Advent; John, the Baptist Used With Tune: PSALM 42
