and sink the mountain to a plain;
give me the childlike praying love,
which longs to build thy house again;
thy love, let it my heart o'er-power,
and all my simple soul devour.
2 I would the precious time redeem,
and longer live for this alone,
to spend and to be spent for them
who have not yet my Saviour known;
fully on these my mission prove,
and only breathe, to breathe thy love.
3 My talents, gifts and graces, Lord,
into thy blessed hands receive,
and let me live to preach thy word,
and let me to thy glory live;
my every sacred moment spend
in publishing the sinner's Friend.
4 Enlarge, inflame and fill my heart
with boundless charity divine,
so shall I all my strength exert,
and love them with a zeal like thine,
and lead them to thy open side,
the sheep for whom the Shepherd died. Scripture: Psalm 69:9 Languages: English Tune Title: COLCHESTER

till all our wanderings cease,
and at our God's own loved abode
our souls arrive in peace.

our humble prayers implore,
and thou shalt be our chosen God

Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #701 (1997) Meter: 7.7.7.5 Topics: Canticles and Scripture Paraphrases Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost,
taught by you we covet most
of your gifts at Pentecost,
holy, heavenly love.
2 Faith that mountains could remove,
tongues of earth or heaven above,
knowledge, all things, empty prove
without heavenly love.
3 Love is kind, and suffers long;
love is meek, and thinks no wrong;
love, much more than death, is strong;
therefore, give us love.
4 Prophecy will fade away,
melting in the light of day;
love will ever with us stay;
therefore, give us love.
5 Faith and hope and love we see
joining hand in hand agree,
but the greatest of the three,
and the best, is love. Scripture: Acts 2:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: CAPETOWN
