Fill thou my life, O Lord my God
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Baptism and Confirmation Lyrics: 1 Fill thou my life, O Lord my God,
in every part with praise,
that my whole being may proclaim
thy being and thy ways.
2 Not for the lip of praise alone,
nor e'en the praising heart
I ask, but for a life made up
of praise in every part:
3 Praise in the common things of life,
its goings out and in;
praise in each duty and each deed,
however small and mean.
4 Fill every part of me with praise:
let all my being speak
of thee and of thy love, O Lord,
poor though I be and weak.
*5 So shalt thou, Lord, receive from me
the praise and glory due;
and so shall I begin on earth
the song for ever new.
*6 So shall each fear, each fret, each care,
be turnèd into song;
and every winding of the way
the echo shall prolong.
7 So shall no part of day or night
unblest or common be,
but all my life, in every step,
be fellowship with thee. Used With Tune: RICHMOND
Fill thou my life, O Lord my God
Spirit of God, descend upon my heart
Author: George Croly, 1780-1860 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals Topics: Baptism and Confirmation Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart,
wean it from earth; through all its pulses move;
stoop to my weakness, mighty as thou art,
and make me love thee as I ought to love.
2 I ask no dream, no prophet-ecstasies,
no sudden rending of the veil of clay,
no angel-visitant, no opening skies;
but take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Hast thou not bid me love thee, God and King –
all, all thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind?
I see thy cross – there teach my heart to cling:
O let me seek thee, and O let me find!
4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh;
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame –
the baptism of the heaven-descended dove,
my heart an altar, and thy love the flame. Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4-5 Used With Tune: SHELDONIAN

consecrated, Lord, to thee;

at the impulse of thy love;
take my feet, and let them be
swift and beautiful for thee.
3 Take my voice, and let me sing
always, only, for my King;
take my lips, and let them be
filled with messages from thee.
4 Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold;
take my intellect, and use
every power as thou shalt choose.
5 Take my will, and make it thine:
it shall be no longer mine;
take my heart: it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne.
6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour
at thy feet its treasure-store;
take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee. Scripture: Acts 4:34-37 Used With Tune: NOTTINGHAM

to serve thee to the end;
be thou for ever near me,
my Master and my Friend:
I shall not fear the battle
if thou art by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if thou wilt be my guide.
*2 O let me feel thee near me:
the world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear;
my foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw thou nearer,
and shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear thee speaking
in accents clear and still
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
thou guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, thou hast promised
to all who follow thee,
that where thou art in glory
there shall thy servant be;
and, Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end:
O give me grace to follow,
my Master and my Friend.
5 O let me see thy foot-marks,
and in them plant mine own;
my hope to follow duly
is in thy strength alone:
O guide me, call me, draw me,
uphold me to the end;
and then in heaven receive me,
my Saviour and my Friend. Scripture: 1 John 2:15-17 Used With Tune: WOLVERCOTE
O Jesus, I have promised
