Ravenhill Favorite Hymn

sermonindex Jul 20, 2004

I remember in a sermon brother Ravenhill quoting this hymn from memory, I thought it would be neat to share, I might try and memorize this one. ;-) EDIT: It's not his favorite hymn as far as I know but he is definetly fond of it, just thought I would clarify.---GIVE me the faith which can remove1 GIVE me the faith which can removeAnd sink the mountain to a plain;Give me the child-like praying love,Which longs to build thy house again;Thy love let it my heart o'erpower,And all my simple soul devour. 2 I want an even strong desire,I want a calmly-fervent zeal,To save poor souls out of the fire,To snatch them from the verge of hell,And turn them to a pardoning God,And quench the brands in Jesu's blood. 3 I would the precious time redeem,And longer live for this alone,To spend, and to be spent, for themWho have not yet my Saviour known;Fully on these my mission prove,And only breathe, to breathe thy love. 4 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 spendIn publishing the sinner's friend. 5 Enlarge, inflame, and fill my heartWith 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 their Shepherd died.

In regards to Ravenhill and hymns my strongest memorys are:1. The song that goesTurn your eyes upon JesusLook full in his glorious faceAnd the things of this world will grow strangely dimIn the light of his Glory and GraceI think of this song often when I find myself not focusing on the Lord.2. The other reference is to a hymn that has a line that goes something like...I've felt the brush of angel's wingsRavenhill said that in the old testament an angel killed 100,000 men with one brush of his wings (or something like that, i might not be remembering it exactly right).His point was that he wished church goers would actually think about what they were singing instead of just going through the motions mindlessly. Do you really want to feel the brush of angel's wings, etc.?
