Make friends of God's children; help those who are weak, forgetting in nothing his blessing to seek. 2 Take time to be holy, the world rushes on; spend much time in secret with Jesus alone; by looking to Jesus, like him thou shalt be; thy friends in thy conduct his likeness shall see. 3 Take time to be holy, let him be thy guide, and run not before him, whatever betide; in joy or in sorrow still follow thy Lord, and, looking to Jesus, still trust in his Word. 4 Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul, each thought and each motive beneath his control; thus led by his Spirit to fountains of love, thou soon shalt be fitted for service above.

Jesus, Priceless Treasure

Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Appears in 131 hymnals Scripture: John 15:1-5 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless treasure, source of purest pleasure, friend most sure and true: long my heart was burning, fainting much and yearning, thirsting, Lord, for you. Yours I am, O spotless Lamb, so will I let nothing hide you, seek no joy beside you! 2 Let your arms enfold me: those who try to wound me cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Fires may flash and thunder crash; yea, though sin and hell assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Hence, all worldly treasure! Jesus is my pleasure, Jesus is my choice. Hence, all empty glory! What to me your story told with tempting voice? Pain or loss or shame or cross shall not from my Savior move me, since he chose to love me. 4 Banish thoughts of sadness, for the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in; though the clouds may gather, those who love the Savior still have peace within. Though I bear much sorrow here, still in you lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure!

Make Me a Captive, Lord

Author: George Matheson Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 120 hymnals Scripture: John 15:5 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 it master find; 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. 5 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; 6 It only stands unbent Amid the clashing strife, When on Thy bosom it has leant, And found in Thee its life. Amen. Topics: Christ Master; Christ Presence; Commitment; God Will, Doing His; Life in Christ Dedication and Consecration Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE
