O help man to man to be loyal,
Help the strong to raise the weak;
And the weak stand by each other,
This, Father, we humbly entreat.
O help us to live true Christians,
Grant Thy grace to lead us to the end;
Then own us and crown us, O Saviour,
Is the prayer of Ethiopia—Amen.
[THE WOUNDED HEART]
Take this wounded heart of mine,
Bind it in Thy mercy and love;
No remedy can heal it but Thine,
Thou holy Physician above.
I cannot pluck it out to see,
The wound of guilt that causes the pain;
Just as it is, Lord I give it to Thee,
Now cure and cleanse from every stain.
My heart seems heavy and sad,
But Thou art merciful I know;
Thou alone can make it light and glad,
O cleanse and make it white as snow.
Speak peace just now unto my soul,
And help me ever to be Thine;
I confess I’ve strayed far from Thy fold,
O take this wounded heart of mine.
[THE WORLD’S EMANCIPATOR]
Lincoln is called the Emancipator,
But there is one that is greater still;
Jesus Christ, the Emancipator of sin,
Who rules by His Father’s will.
