O for a heart to praise my God

Author: C. Wesley (1707-1788) Appears in 1,162 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 4 The Freedom God Gives Lyrics: 1 O for a heart to praise my God — a heart from sin set free, a heart that's sprinkled with the blood so freely shed for me. 2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek, my great redeemer's throne; where only Christ is heard to speak, where Jesus reigns alone. 3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart, believing, true, and clean, which neither life nor death can part from him who dwells within. 4 A heart in every thought renewed, and full of love divine; perfect and right and pure and good — your life revealed in mine. 5 Your nature, gracious Lord, impart — come quickly from above, write your new name upon my heart, your new best name of love!

Make all our moments fair and bright! Oh, chase the night of sin away! Shed o'er the world your holy light. Used With Tune: WALTON

He lives in us, the Christ of God

Author: Michael Perry (born 1942) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #457a (1987) Topics: Pentecost 4 The Freedom God Gives Lyrics: 1 He lives in us, the Christ of God, his Spirit joins with ours; he brings to us the Father's grace with powers beyond our powers. And if enticing sin grows strong, when human nature fails, God's Spirit in our inner self fights with us, and prevails. 3 Our pangs of guilt and fears of death are Satan's stratagems — by Jesus Christ who died for us God pardons; who condemns? And when we cannot feel our faith, nor bring ourselves to pray, the Spirit pleads with God for us in words we could not say. 3 God gave his Son to save us all — no other love like this! then shall he ever turn away from those he marks as his? And God has raised him from the grave, in this we stand assured; so none can tear us from his love in Jesus Christ our Lord. Scripture: Romans 8 Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL (IRONS)

Michael Perry

1942 - 1996 Person Name: Michael Perry (born 1942) Topics: Pentecost 4 The Freedom God Gives Author of "In Christ there is no east or west" in Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) Initially studying mathematics and physics at Dulwich College, Michael A. Perry (b. Beckenham, Kent, England, 1942; d. England, 1996) was headed for a career in the sciences. However, after one year of study in physics at the University of London, he transferred to Oak Hill College to study theology. He also studied at Ridley Hall, Cambridge, and received a M.Phil. from the University of Southhampton in 1973. Ordained a priest in the Church of England in 1966, Perry served the parish of St. Helen's in Liverpool as a youth worker and evangelist. From 1972 to 1981 he was the vicar of Bitterne in Southhampton and from 1981 to 1989, rector of Eversley in Hampshire and chaplain at the Police Staff College. He then became vicar of Tonbridge in Kent, where he remained until his death from a brain tumor in 1996. Perry published widely in the areas of Bible study and worship. He edited Jubilate publications such as Hymns far Today's Church (1982), Carols far Today (1986), Come Rejoice! (1989), and Psalms for Today (1990). Composer of the musical drama Coming Home (1987), he also wrote more than two hundred hymns and Bible versifications. Bert Polman

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Person Name: J. B. Dykes (1823-1876) Topics: Pentecost 4 The Freedom God Gives Composer of "ALMSGIVING" in Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern. Bert Polman
