O for a closer walk with God
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,368 hymnals Topics: Personal Petition Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God,
a calm and heavenly frame,
a light to shine upon the road
that leads me to the Lamb.
2 Where is the blessedness I knew
when first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
of Jesus and his word?
3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed,
how sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
the world can never fill.
4 Return, O holy dove, return,
sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
and drove thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from thy throne
and worship only thee.
6 So shall my walk be close with God,
calm and serene my frame;
so purer light shall mark the road
that leads me to the Lamb. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 1:6-10 Used With Tune: CAITHNESS
O for a closer walk with God
Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom
Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-90 Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Appears in 1,225 hymnals Topics: Personal Petition Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom;
lead thou me on.
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
lead thou me on.
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
the distant scene - one step enough for me.
2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou
shouldst lead me on.
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
lead thou me on.
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears
pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
3 So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still
will lead me on,
o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
the night is gone;
and with the morn those angel faces smile,
which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.
Scripture: 1 John 1:5-10 Used With Tune: SANDON

Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 399 hymnals Topics: Personal Petition Lyrics: 1 Blest are the pure in heart,
for they shall see our God;
the secret of the Lord is theirs,
their soul is Christ's abode.
2 The Lord who left the heavens
our life and peace to bring,
to dwell with us in lowliness,
our pattern and our King:
3 still to the lowly soul
he will himself impart,
and for his cradle and his throne
chooses the pure in heart.
4 Lord, we your presence seek;
this blessing now renew:
give us a pure and lowly heart,
a temple fit for you. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Used With Tune: FRANCONIA

Fill my whole life, O Lord my God
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Personal Petition Lyrics: 1 Fill my whole life, O Lord my God,
in every part with praise,
that my whole being may proclaim
your being and your ways.
2 Not for the lip of praise alone,
nor ev'n 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 you and of your love, O Lord,
poor though I be and weak.
5 So shalt you, Lord, receive from me
the praise and glory due;
and so shall I begin on earth
the song for ever new.
6 So shall no part of day and night
from sacredness be free;
but with you, Lord, in every step,
my fellowship will be. Scripture: 1 John 1:1-4 Used With Tune: RICHMOND
Fill my whole life, O Lord my God
Dear Father, Lord of humankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-92 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 502 hymnals Topics: Personal Petition Lyrics: 1 Dear Father, Lord of humankind,
forgive our foolish ways;
reclothe us in our rightful mind:
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise,
in deeper reverence, praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word
rise up and follow thee,
rise up and follow thee.
3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love,
interpreted by love!
4 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace,
the beauty of thy peace.
5 Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still small voice of calm,
O still small voice of calm. Scripture: 1 Kings 19:11-21 Used With Tune: REPTON
Dear Father, Lord of humankind
Make me a captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: Personal Petition Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord,
and then I shall be free;
force me to render up my sword,
and I shall conqueror be.
I sink in life's alarms
when by myself I stand;
imprison me within thine arms,
and strong shall be my hand.
2 My heart is weak and poor
until it master find;
it has no spring of action sure,
it varies with the wind.
It cannot freely move,
till thou hast wrought its chain;
enslave it with thy matchless love,
and deathless it shall reign.
3 My will is not my own
till thou hast made it thine;
if it would reach a monarch's throne,
it must its crown resign;
it only stands unbent
amid the clashing strife,
when on thy bosom it has leant,
and found in thee its life. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:8-11 Used With Tune: ICH HALTE TREULICH STILL
Make me a captive, Lord

draw me with the magnet
of your mighty love.
3 Lord, thine arms are stretching
ever far and wide
to enfold your children
to your loving side.
4 And I come, Lord Jesus:
dare I turn away?
No, your love has conquered,
and I come today.
5 Bringing all my burdens,
sorrow, sin and care,
at your feet I lay them,
and I leave them there. Scripture: John 3:14-17 Used With Tune: NORTH COATES
O my Saviour, lifted

shed o'er the world your holy light. Used With Tune: MARYTON Text Sources: 12th century

Let the Lower Lights Be Burning.
Author: P. P. Bliss Appears in 543 hymnals Topics: Grace; Personal Work and Service; Petition and Prayer First Line: Brightly beams our Father's mercy Refrain First Line: Let the lower lights be burning! Lyrics: 1 Brightly beams our Father’s mercy
From His lighthouse evermore;
But to us He gives the keeping
Of the lights along the shore.
Chorus:
Let the lower lights be burning!
Send a gleam across the wave!
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman
You may rescue, you may save.
2 Dark the night of sin has settled,
Loud the angry billows roar;
Eager eyes are watching, longing,
For the lights along the shore. [Chorus]
3 Trim your feeble lamp, my brother!
Some poor seaman, tempest-tossed,
Trying now to make the harbor,
In the darkness may be lost. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Brightly beams our Father’s mercy]
Let the Lower Lights Be Burning.
