Come, Holy Spirit, God and Lord!
This Little Babe So Few Days Old
Author: Robert Southwell, 1561-95 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This little Babe so few days old
Is come to rifle Satan's fold;
All hell doth at his presence quake,
Though he himself for cold do shake;
For in this weak unarmed wise
The gates of hell he will surprise.
2 With tears he fights and wins the field
His naked breast stands for a shield;
His battering shot are babish cries,
His arrows looks of weeping eyes,
His martial ensigns Cold and Need,
And feeble Flesh his warrior's steed.
3 His camp is pitchèd in a stall,
His bulwark but a broken wall;
The crib his trench, haystalks his stakes;
Of shepherds he his muster makes;
And thus, as sure his foe to wound,
The angels' trumps alarum sound.
4 My soul, with Christ join thou in fight;
Stick to His tents that he hath pight.*
Within his crib is surest ward;
This little Babe will be thy Guard.
If thou wilt foil thy foes with joy,
Then flit not from this heavenly Boy.

Victim Divine, thy grace we claim
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Victim Divine, your grace we claim
While thus thy precious death we show;
Once offered up, a spotless Lamb,
In thy great temple here below,
Thou didst for all mankind atone,
And standest now before the throne.
2 Thou standest in the holiest place,
As now for guilty sinners slain;
Thy Blood of sprinkling speaks and prays
All-prevalent for helpless man;
Thy Blood is still our ransom found,
And spreads salvation all around. A-men.
3 We need not now go to heaven
To bring the long-sought Saviour down;
Thou art to all already given,
Thou dost e'en now thy banquet crown:
To every faithful soul appear,
And show thy real presence here.
Amen.

Great God, Your Love Has Called Us Here
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God, Your love has called us here
As we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
Though marred, dishonored, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
Your call to hear, Your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
Of broken trust and chosen wrong,
Half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
By social forces swept along,
By powers and systems close confined,
Yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ You call our name
And then receive us as Your own,
Not through some merit, right or claim,
But by Your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
And find You kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
And humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
And show how grandly love intends
To work till all creation sings,
To fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ You set us free
Your life to live, Your joy to share.
Give us Your Spirit's liberty
To turn from guilt and dull despair
And offer all that faith can do
While love is making all things new.

Thou gracious Pow'r, whose mercy lends
O thou, who camest from above
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Appears in 176 hymnals Used With Tune: DAS NEUGEBORNE KINDELEIN
O thou, who camest from above
Now is the healing time decreed
Author: T. A. Lacey, 1853-1931 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now is the healing time decreed
For sins of heart and word and deed,
When we in humble fear record
The wrong that we have done the Lord:
2 Who, always merciful and good,
Has borne so long our wayward mood,
Nor cut us off unsparingly
In our so great iniquity.
3 Therefore with fasting and with prayer,
Our secret sorrow we declare,
With all good striving seek his face,
And lowly-hearted plead for grace.
4 Cleanse us, O Lord, from every stain,
Help us the gifts of grace to gain,
Till with the angels, linked in love,
Joyful we tread thy courts above.
5 We pray thee, holy Trinity,
One God, unchanging Unity,
That we from this our abstinence
May reap the fruits of penitence. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Lent; Office Hymn Used With Tune: JENA (DAS NEUGEBORNE KINDELEIN)
