Come Down, O Love Divine

Author: Bianco da Siena; Richard Frederick Littledale Hymnal: Voices United #367 (1996) Meter: 6.6.11 D Topics: Seeking God Lyrics: 1 Come down, O love divine, seek now this soul of mine, and visit it with your own ardour glowing. O Comforter, draw near, within my heart appear, and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing. 2 O let it freely burn, till earthly passions turn to dust and ashes in its heat consuming; and let your glorious light shine ever on my sight, and clothe me round, my onward path illuming. 3 And so the yearning strong with which the soul will long shall far outpass the power of human telling; for none can guess its grace, till Love create the place wherein the Holy Spirit makes its dwelling.

I Was a Wandering Sheep

Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #418 (1934) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: Seeking (God after Man) Lyrics: 1 I was a wandering sheep, I did not love the fold; I did not love my Shepherd’s voice, I would not be controlled. I was a wayward child, I did not love my home, I did not love my Father’s voice, I loved afar to roam. 2 The Shepherd sought His sheep, The Father sought His child; They followed me o’er vale and hill, O’er deserts waste and wild. They found me nigh to death, Famished and faint and lone; They bound me with the bands of love, They saved the wandering one. 3 Jesus my Shepherd is; ’Twas He that loved my soul, ’Twas He that washed me in His blood, ’Twas He that made me whole. ’Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wandering sheep; ’Twas He that brought me to the fold, ’Tis He that still doth keep. 4 No more a wandering sheep! I love to be controlled, I love my tender Shepherd’s voice, I love the peaceful fold. No more a wayward child! I seek no more to roam; I love my heavenly Father’s voice, I love, I love His home.

Sing Praise to God, Whose Mighty Acts

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #9B (2012) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Seeking God Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God, whose mighty acts still strong in memory stand to give us hope when evil seems to gain the upper hand. Give thanks for deeds of steadfast love, for wonders new and old: for fire and cloud, for daily food, for mercies yet untold. 2 Though monuments of evil rise in marble, gilt, and stone, time’s search will find their boasts untrue, their makers’ names unknown. Mute avenues of ruins will mark where once proud cities stood, but from destruction God will save the faithful, just, and good. 3 Rise up, O God, reclaim the power usurped by mortal pride, deflate the hollow pomp of those whom rank and titles hide. Let not the needy cry unheard, the suffering hope in vain; restore the fallen, bless the meek, till peace and justice reign. Scripture: Psalm 9 Tune Title: SALVATION
