wean it from earth, through all its pulses move;
stoop to my weakness, strength to me impart,
and make me love you 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 you not bid me love you, God and King;
all, all your own, soul, heart and strength and mind?
I see your cross: there teach my heart to cling.
O let me seek you and O let me find!
4 Teach me to love you as your angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame,
the baptism of the heaven-descended dove,
my heart an altar and your love the flame. Used With Tune: MORECAMBE

Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above
Author: Johann Jakob Schütz; Frances Elizabeth Cox Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 194 hymnals Topics: Worship; Chorales; God the Father His Care and Guidance; liturgical Opening Hymns Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God who reigns above,
the God of all creation,
the God of power, the God of love,
the God of our salvation.
With healing balm my soul is filled
and every faithless murmur stilled:
To God all praise and glory.
2 The Lord is never far away,
but through all grief distressing,
an ever present help and stay,
our peace and joy and blessing.
As with a mother's tender hand,
God gently leads the chosen band:
To God all praise and glory.
3 Thus all my toilsome way along,
I sing aloud thy praises,
that earth may hear the grateful song
my voice unwearied raises.
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart,
both soul and body bear your part:
To God all praise and glory.
4 Let all who name Christ's holy name
give God all praise and glory;
let all who own his power proclaim
aloud the wondrous story!
Cast each false idol from its throne,
for Christ is Lord, and Christ alone:
To God all praise and glory.
United Methodist Hymnal, 1989

Lord God, your love has called us here
Author: Brian Wren (born 1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 10 The Mind of Christ Lyrics: 1 Lord God, your love has called us here
as we, by love, for love were made;
your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined
yet seeking hope for all humankind.
3 Lord God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own
not through some merit, right or claim
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy-seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends;
suffer and serve till all are fed
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Lord God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share:
give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair,
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Used With Tune: MELITA
Lord God, your love has called us here

I'll Praise My Maker While I've Breath
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748; John Wesley, 1703-1791 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 527 hymnals Topics: Year B, Ordinary Time after Pentecost, September 4-10 Lyrics: 1 I'll praise my Maker while I've breath,
and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my noblest powers;
my days of praise are never past
while life and thought and being last
or immortality endures.
2 Happy are those whose hopes rely
on God the Lord, who made the sky,
and earth, the sea, the night and day;
God's truth forever stands secure,
he keeps his promise to the poor,
and none who seeks is turned away.
3 The Lord gives eyesight to the blind,
he calms and heals the troubled mind,
and sends the wounded conscience peace.
God helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner glad release.
4 I'll praise you while you lend me breath,
and, when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my noblest powers;
my days of praise are never past
while life and thought and being last
or immortality endures. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: OLD 113TH
I'll Praise My Maker While I've Breath
Jesus, Priceless Treasure
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Johann Franck, 1618-1677 Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Appears in 131 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 10 (Year B) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless treasure,
Source of purest pleasure,
Truest friend to me:
Ah, how long I've panted,
And my heart has fainted,
Thirsting, Lord, for thee!
Thine I am, O spotless Lamb;
I will suffer nought to hide thee,
Nought I ask beside thee.
2 In thine arm I rest me;
Foes who would molest me
Cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
Ev'ry heart be quaking,
Jesus calms my fear.
Sin and hell in conflict fell
With their bitter storms assail me,
Jesus will not fail me.
3 Hence, all fears and sadness,
For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in.
Those who love the Father,
Though the storms may gather,
Still have peace within.
Yea, whate'er I here must bear,
Still in thee lies purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless treasure!

in the desert ways I sing —
