How Gentle God's Commands
We give Thee but Thine own
Author: W. W. How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 484 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We give Thee but Thine own,
Whate'er the gift may be:
All that we have is Thine alone,
A trust, O Lord, from Thee.
2 May we Thy bounties thus
As stewards true receive,
And gladly, as Thou blessest us,
To Thee our first-fruits give.
3 Oh, hearts are bruised and dead,
And homes are bare and cold,
And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled
Are straying from the Fold!
4 To comfort and to bless,
To find a balm for woe,
To tend the lone and fatherless,
Is angels' work below.
5 The captive to release,
To God the lost to bring,
To teach the way of life and peace,
It is a Christ-like thing.
6 And we believe Thy word,
Though dim our faith may be.
Whate'er for Thine we do, O Lord,
We do it unto Thee.
Amen. Topics: Almsgiving; Almsgiving and Charities; Associations of Guilds Used With Tune: ST. ETHELWALD

One fellowship of love.

Blest are the pure in heart
Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 399 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blest are the pure in heart,
for they shall see our God;
the secret of the Lord is theirs,
their soul is Christ's abode.
2 The Lord, who left the heavens
our life and peace to bring,
to dwell in lowliness with men,
their pattern and their King;
3 Still to the lowly soul
he doth himself impart,
and for his dwelling and his throne
chooseth the pure in heart.
4 Lord, we thy presence seek;
may ours this blessing be;
give us a pure and lowly heart,
a temple meet for thee. Topics: Fifth Sunday Before Lent Year A; Fourth Sunday Before Lent Year C; Proper 21 Year C Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:16 Used With Tune: FRANCONIA

Come, we that love the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,787 hymnals First Line: Come, we that love the Lord, And let our joys be known
Come, we that love the Lord
Within the Father's House
Author: James R. Woodford, 1820-85 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Within the Father's house
The Son has found his home,
And to his temple suddenly
The Lord of life has come.
2 The doctors of the Law
Gaze on the wondrous child
And marvel at his gracious words
Of wisdom undefiled.
3 Yet not to them is giv'n
The mighty truth to know,
To lift the earthly veil which hides
Incarnate God below.
4 The secret of the Lord
Escapes each human eye,
And faithful pond'ring hearts await
The full epiphany.
5 Lord, enter now our souls
And teach us by your grace
Each dim revealing of yourself
With loving awe to trace
6 Till we behold your face
And know as we are known
You, Father, Son, and Holy ghost,
Coequal Three in One.

Shall be our theme for prayer;
Come, let us meet him on the road
And place for him prepare.
2 The everlasting Son
Incarnate stoops to be,
Himself the servant's form puts on
To set his people free.
3 Come, Zion's daughter, rise
To meet your lowly king,
Nor let your faithless heart despise
The peace he comes to bring.
4 As judge, on clouds of light,
He soon will come again
And all his scattered saints unite
With him on high to reign.
5 Before the dawning day
Let sin be put to flight;
No longer let the law hold sway,
But walk in freedom's light.
6 All glory to the Son,
Who comes to set us free,
With Father, Spirit, ever one
Through all eternity.
