Take Time to Be Holy
Author: William D. Longstaff Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #395 (1989) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Topics: Calmness and Serenity Lyrics: 1. Take time to be holy,
speak oft with thy Lord;
abide in him always,
and feed on his word.
Make friends of God's children,
help those who are weak,
forgetting in nothing
his blessing to seek.
2. Take time to be holy,
the world rushes on;
spend much time in secret
with Jesus alone.
By looking to Jesus,
like him thou shalt be;
thy friends in thy conduct
his likeness shall see.
3. Take time to be holy,
let him be thy guide,
and run not before him,
whatever betide.
In joy or in sorrow,
still follow the Lord,
and, looking to Jesus,
still trust in his word.
4. Take time to be holy,
be calm in thy soul,
each thought and each motive
beneath his control.
Thus led by his spirit
to fountains of love,
thou soon shalt be fitted
for service above.
Scripture: 1 Peter 1:16 Languages: English Tune Title: HOLINESS

Contentment
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Laudes Domini #428 (1888) Topics: Calmness First Line: O Lord, how full of sweet content Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how full of sweet content
Our years of pilgrimage are spent!
Where'er we dwell, we dwell with thee,
In heaven, in earth, or on the sea.
2 To us remains nor place nor time:
Our country is in every clime:
We can be calm and free from care
On any shore, since God is there.
3 While place we seek, or place we shun,
The soul finds happiness in none;
But with our God to guide our way,
'Tis equal joy to go or stay.
4 Could we be cast where thou art not,
That were indeed a dreadful lot;
But regions none remote we call,
Secure of finding God in all. Scripture: Psalm 73:25 Languages: English Tune Title: DUKE STREET

Psalm 131
Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #432 (1888) Topics: Calmness First Line: Quiet, Lord, my froward heart Lyrics: 1 Quiet, Lord, my froward heart,
Make me teachable and mild,
Upright, simple, free from art,
Make me as a weaned child:
From distrust and envy free,
Pleased with all that pleased thee.
2 What thou shalt to-day provide,
Let me as a child receive;
What to-morrow may betide,
Calmly to thy wisdom leave:
'Tis enough that thou wilt care;
Why should I the burden bear?
3 As a little child relies
On a care beyond his own,
Knows he's neither strong nor wise,
Fears to stir a step alone;--
Let me thus with thee abide,
As my Father, Guard, and Guide. Scripture: Psalm 131:1 Languages: English Tune Title: GUIDE

Security and rest
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #437 (1888) Topics: Calmness First Line: Lord, how secure and blest are they Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure and blest are they
Who feel the joys of pardoned sin!
Should storms of wrath shake earth and sea,
Their minds have heaven and peace within.
2 The day glides sweetly o'er their heads,
Made up of innocence and love;
And soft and silent as the shades,
Their nightly minutes gently move.
3 Quick as their thoughts their joys come on,
But fly not half so swift away:
Their souls are ever bright as noon,
And calm as summer evenings be.
4 How oft they look to heavenly hills,
Where streams of living pleasures flow;
And longing hopes and cheerful smiles
Sit undisturbed upon their brow!
5 They scorn to seek earth's golden toys,
But spend the day, and share the night,
In numbering o'er the richer joys
That heaven prepared for their delight. Scripture: Psalm 139:18 Languages: English Tune Title: WARRINGTON

Here, O My Lord, I See You Face to Face
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Voices United #459 (1996) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Peace (Inner, Calmness, Serenity Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see you face to face,
here would I touch and handle things unseen,
here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace,
and all my weariness upon you lean.
2 Here I will feed upon the bread of God,
here drink with you the royal wine of heaven;
here I will lay aside each earthly load,
here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.
3 This is the hour of banquet and of song;
this is the heavenly table for me spread;
here let me feast, and feasting, still prolong
the fellowship of living wine and bread.
4 Too soon we rise, the symbols disappear.
The feast, though not the love, is past and gone:
the bread and wine remove, but you are here,
nearer than ever, still my shield and sun.
5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by,
yet, passing, points to that glad feast above,
giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,
the Lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love. Languages: English Tune Title: ST AGNES

O Jesus, Joy of Loving Hearts
Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: Voices United #472 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Peace (Inner, Calmness, Serenity Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, joy of loving hearts,
the fount of life, the light of all
from every bliss that earth imparts,
we turn, unfilled, to hear your call.
2 Your truth unchanged has ever stood;
you plead with all to call on you,
to those who seek you, you are good,
to those who find you, life is new.
3 We taste your ever-living bread,
and long to feast upon you still;
we drink of you, the fountainhead,
our thirsting souls from you we fill.
4 O Jesus, ever with us stay;
make all our moments calm and bright;
chase the bleak night of sin away;
shed o'er the world your holy light. Tune Title: MARYTON

Jesus, Priceless Treasure
Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #532 (1989) Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Topics: Calmness and Serenity Lyrics: 1. Jesus, priceless treasure,
source of purest pleasure,
truest friend to me,
long my heart hath panted,
till it well-nigh fainted,
thirsting after thee.
Thine I am, O spotless Lamb,
I will suffer naught to hide thee,
ask for naught beside thee.
2. In thine arms I rest me;
foes who would molest me
cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
every heart be quaking,
Jesus calms our fear;
sin and hell in conflict fell
with their heaviest storms assail us;
Jesus will not fail us.
3. Hence, all thoughts of sadness!
For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in.
Those who love the Father,
though the storms may gather,
still have peace within;
yea, whate'er we here must bear,
still in thee lies purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless treasure!
