Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round
Author: John White Chadwick (1840-1904) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 124 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4:3 Lyrics: 1 Eternal ruler of the ceaseless round
of circling planets singing on their way,
guide of the nations from the night profound
into the glory of the perfect day:
rule in our hearts, and keep us ever true,
directed, strengthened, and upheld by you.
2 We are your own, the children of your love,
your family, with your well-beloved Son;
come to us, Holy Spirit, like a dove,
and fill our hearts that we may be as one;
as one with you, our comforter and friend;
as one with him, our way, our life, our end.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,
one in our love of all things kind and fair,
one with the joy that finds a voice in song
one with the grief that trembles into prayer,
one in the power that sets us free from fear
to follow truth, and so to find you near. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in intercession and petition; Unity of Humanity Used With Tune: SONG 1

Make Me a Captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 120 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4:1 Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord,
and then I shall be free;
force me to render up my sword,
and I shall conqueror be.
I sink in life's alarms
when by myself I stand;
imprison me within thine arms,
and strong shall be my hand.
2 My heart is weak and poor
until it master find;
it has no spring of action sure--
it varies with the wind;
it cannot freely move
till thou hast wrought its chain;
enslave it with thy matchless love,
and deathless it shall reign.
3 My will is not my own
till thou hast made it thine;
if it would reach a monarch's throne,
it must its crown resign;
it only stands unbent
amid the clashing strife,
when on thy bosom it has leaned,
and found in thee its life.

Savior of the Nations, Come
Author: W. M. Reynolds; Ambrose; Martin Luther Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 44 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4:8 Lyrics: 1 Savior of the nations, come;
virgin's son, make here your home.
Marvel now, O heav'n and earth,
that the Lord chose such a birth.
2 From the Father forth you came,
soon returning to the same,
captive leading death and hell.
Let the song of trimph swell!
3 You, the Father's only son,
have o'er sin the victory won.
Boundless shall your kingdom be;
when shall we its glories see?
4 Brightly does your manger shine;
glorious is its light divine.
Let not sin o'ercloud this light;
ever be our faith thus bright.
