Author: Elizabeth Lee Smith (1817-1898); John Calvin (1509-1564) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #455 (2008) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 I greet thee, who my sure Redeemer art,
my only Trust and Saviour of my heart,
who pain didst undergo for my poor sake;
I pray thee from our hearts all cares to take.
2 Thou art the King of mercy and of grace,
reigning omnipotent in every place:
so come, O King, and our whole being sway;
shine on us with the light of thy pure day.
3 Thou art the life, by which alone we live
and all our substance and our strength receive;
comfort us by thy faith and by thy power,
and give us strength in every trying hour.
4 Thou hast the true and perfect gentleness,
no harshness hast thou, and no bitterness;
oh, grant to us the grace we find in thee,
that we may dwell in perfect unity.
5 Our hope is in no other save in thee;
our faith is built upon thy promise free;
Lord, give us peace, and make us calm and sure,
that in thy strength we evermore endure. Topics: Christ Risen Reign and Priesthood; Assurance; Nurture Scripture: 1 Peter 2:21 Languages: English Tune Title: TAKE UP THE SONG
