God of Love, That Hearest Prayer
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 82 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:13 Lyrics: 1 God of love, that hearest prayer,
Kindly for Thy people care
Who on Thee alone depend;
Love us, save us to the end.
2 Save us in the prosperous hour
From the flattering tempter’s power,
From his unsuspected wiles,
From the world’s pernicious smiles.
3 Men of worldly, low design,
Let not these Thy people join,
Poison our simplicity,
Drag us from our trust in Thee.
4 Save us from the great and wise,
Till they sink in their own eyes
Tamely to Thy yoke submit,
Lay their honors at Thy feet.
5 Never let the world break in,
Fix a mighty gulf between;
Keep us little and unknown,
Prized and loved by God alone.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer and Intercession; God Love and Fatherhood; Prayer Used With Tune: MERCY
God of Love, That Hearest Prayer
We Come unto Our Savior God
Author: Thomas H. Gill Meter: 8.7.8.7.8 8.7 Appears in 78 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:4 Lyrics: 1 We come unto our Savior God
with each past generation;
th’eternal arms, their dear abode,
we make our habitation.
We bring thee, Lord, the praise they brought;
we seek thee as thy saints have sought
in ev'ry generation.
2 Their joy unto their Lord we bring,
their song to us descendeth;
the Spirit who in them did sing
to us his music lendeth;
his song in them, in us, is one;
we raise it high, we send it on—
the song that never endeth.
3 Ye saints to come, take up the strain,
the same sweet theme endeavor;
unbroken be the golden chain!
Keep on the song forever!
Safe in the same dear dwelling place,
rich with the same eternal grace,
bless the same boundless giver!

We Come unto Our Savior God
Built on the Rock
Author: Nicolai F. S. Grundtvig, 1783-1872; Carl Döving, 1867-1937 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 73 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:4 First Line: Built on the Rock the Church doth stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church doth stand,
Even when steeples are falling;
Crumbled have spires in ev'ry land,
Bells still are chiming and calling,
Calling the young and old to rest,
But above all the soul distressed,
Longing for rest everlasting.
2 Surely in temples made with hands,
God, the Most High, is not dwelling;
High above earth His temple stands,
All earthly temples excelling.
Yet He whom heav'ns cannot contain
Chose to abide on earth with men,
Built in our bodies His temple.
3 Now we may gather with our King
E'en in the lowliest dwelling;
Praises to Him we there may bring,
His wondrous mercy forth telling.
Jesus His grace to us accords;
Spirit and life are all His words;
His truth doth hallow the temple.
Amen.

I hunger and I thirst
Author: John Samuel Beweley Monsell, 1811-1875 Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 66 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:1-4 Lyrics: 1 I hunger and I thirst;
Jesus my manna be:
ye living waters, burst
out of the rock for me.
2 Thou bruised and broken bread,
my life-long wants supply;
as living souls are fed,
oh feed me, or I die.
3 Thou true life-giving Vine,
let me thy sweetness prove;
renew my life with thine,
refresh my soul with love.
4 Since first their course began,
rough paths my feet have trod.
Feed me, thou living bead;
help me, thou Son of God.
5 For still the desert lies
my thirsting soul before;
O living waters, rise
within me evermore. Topics: Church Year Lent; Communion; Desert / Wilderness; Hunger; Jesus Christ Son of God; Renewal / Revival; Rock; Thirst; Water Used With Tune: QUAM DILECTA

O God, My Faithful God
Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 61 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:13 Lyrics: 1 O God, my faithful God,
true fountain ever flowing,
without whom nothing is,
all perfect gifts bestowing:
give me a healthy frame,
and may I have within
a conscience free from blame,
a soul unstained by sin.
2 Give me the strength to do
with ready heart and willing
whatever you command,
my calling here fulfilling.
Help me do what I should
in all that comes my way;
I know that you are good,
you bless those who obey.
3 Keep me from saying words
that later need recalling;
guard me lest idle speech
may from my lips be falling;
but when within my place
I must and ought to speak,
then to my words give grace
lest I offend the weak.
4 When dangers gather round,
O keep me calm and fearless;
help me to bear the cross
when life seems dark and cheerless.
Help me, as you have taught,
to love both great and small,
to speak the truth in love,
to live at peace with all. Topics: Discipleship; God's Gifts; God's Will; Hymns That Are Prayer; Elements of Worship Confession Used With Tune: DARMSTADT

And let us taste with joyfulness
The Holy Spirit's plenteousness.

In equal and unending praise.

O Splendor of God's Glory Bright
Day by Day and with Each Passing Moment
Author: Carolina Sandell Berg; A. L. Skoog Meter: Irregular Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:13 Lyrics: 1 Day by day and with each passing moment,
strength I find to meet my trials here;
trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
gives unto each day what he deems best–
lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
mingling toil with peace and rest.
2 Every day, the Lord himself is near me
with a special mercy for each hour;
all my cares he fain would bear, and cheer me,
he whose name is Counselor and Pow'r.
The protection of his child and treasure
is a charge that on himself he laid:
“As your days, your strength shall be in measure,”
this the pledge to me he made.
3 Help me then in every tribulation
so to trust your promises, O Lord,
that I lose not faith’s sweet consolation
offered me within your holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
e'er to take, as from a father’s hand,
one by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
till I reach the promised land.
