Make Me a Captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 120 hymnals Matching Instances: 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.
2. I sink in life's alarms
When by myself I stand;
Imprison me within Thine arms,
And strong shall be my hand.
3. My heart is weak and poor
Until its master finds;
It has no spring of action sure,
It varies with the wind.
4. It cannot freely move
Till Thou hast wrought its chain;
Enslave it with Thy matchless love,
And deathless it shall reign. Scripture: Philippians 1:13 Used With Tune: TRENTHAM

Breathe on Me, Breath of God
Author: Edwin Hatch Hymnal: Favorite Hymns of Praise #3 (1967) Lyrics: 1 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do.
2 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do and to endure.
3 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Till I am wholly Thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine.
4 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
So shall I never die,
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity.
