Oh, for a closer walk with God
Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #552a (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Luke 3:22 Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a closer walk with God,
a calm and heavenly frame,
a light to shine upon the road
that leads me to the Lamb!
2 Where is the blessedness I knew
when first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
of Jesus and his word?
3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
the world can never fill.
4 Return, O Holy Dove! return,
sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
and drove thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from thy throne,
and worship only thee.
6 So shall my walk be close with God,
calm and serene my frame;
so purer light shall mark the road
that leads me to the Lamb. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Devotion; Our Response to Christ In Penitence; Holy Spirit name and images for; Penitence Languages: English Tune Title: MARTYRDOM (FENWICK)

O Spirit of the Living God
Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #40 (1998) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Luke 3:1-22 Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God,
in all the fullness of thy grace,
wherever human foot hath trod,
descend on our rebellious race.
2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love
to preach the reconciling word;
give power and unction from above,
whene'er the joyful sound is heard.
3 Be darkness at thy coming light;
confusion, order in thy path;
souls without strength inspire with might,
bid mercy triumph over wrath.
4 O Spirit of the Lord, prepare
all the round earth its God to meet;
breathe thou abroad like morning air,
till hearts of stone begin to beat.
5 Baptize the nations; far and nigh
the triumph of the cross record;
the name of Jesus glorify,
till every kindred call him Lord. Topics: Christian Initiation; Mission; Pentecost; Renewal; Baptism (general) Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM

O love how deep, how broad, how high!
Author: Benjamin Webb, 1819-85; Thomas à Kempis, 1379-1471 Hymnal: Together in Song #194 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Luke 3:21-22 Lyrics: 1 O love how deep, how broad, how high!
it fills the heart with ecstasy
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals’ sake.
2 He sent no angel to our race
of higher or of lower place
but wore the robe of human frame
himself, and to this lost world came.
3 For us he was baptized, and bore
his holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us his daily works he wrought,
by words and signs and actions, thus
still seeking not himself but us.
5 For us to wicked hands betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
6 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen and to cheer.
7 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity. Topics: God's Love to Us; Jesus Christ Baptism; Jesus Christ Earthly life; Jesus Christ Incarnation; Jesus Christ Priesthood and Intercession; Jesus Christ Redeemer; Redemption; Satan; Temptation; The Gospel Languages: English Tune Title: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR
