Lord of the Dance

Author: Joakim Breithaupt; Brorson Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Epiphany; Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Forsøger eder selv, Om I i Troen ere, Om I ved Troens Kraft I Hjertet Jesus bære, Og om I følge ham I Kors taalmodig ind Med kjærlig Ydmyghed Og Troens rene Sind! 2 Vor Tro den er et Lys I Hjertet dybt forborgen, Som bryder deilig frem, Ret som den klare Morgen, Gjør Sjælen frydefuld, Opklaret, deilig rig, Ny, ret forandert og I Sindet Jesus lig. 3 Den øser altid af Sin Jesus rige Gaver, Og deler gjerne med Sin Næste, hvad den haver; I Jesus kan den faa Mer, end den har behov, Og Naaden lyser frem Til Herrens Pris og Lov. 4 Den tviler ei at faa, Hvad Gud i Ordet lover, Og derfor frisk sig ind I Kors og Modgang vover, Thi Troen føder Haab; Af det, den har og ser, Er den forsikret om, At finde altid mer. 5 Af Haab er Kjærlighed, Thi naar man sig paaminder, Hvor sød en Gud vi har, Og evig har og finder, Saa bryder dette ud I Hjertens Kjærlighed Endog mod den, som er Os bitter gram og vred. 6 Hvad Gud os gjør, vi da Vil gjøre mod vor Næste, Naar nogen gjør os ondt, Vi søge deres Bedste, Og bøde Andres Trods, Forfølgelse og Spot Med Forbøn, gode Ord, Og gjør dem altid Godt. 7 Naar Gud ved meget Kors Os ret paa Prøve sætter, Gjør Tro Taalmodighed, Som alt det tunge letter, Den dæmper Kjødets Knur Og tager bønnen fat, Og veed, at al vor Nød Gud Vei og Maal har sat. 8 Ransag, om Kristus sig Udi din Sjæl forklarer; Thi det er Kristi Liv, Som Troen aabenbarer, Den gjør retfærdig først, Saa hellig, giver Lyst Og Kraft til Gjerning god, Er dette i dit Bryst? 9 O Jesus, styrk du mig I Troen alle Dage! Saa skal et helligt Liv Og Levnet og tiltage; Hvor Lyset er, der maa Og Glansen ytre sig; O lær mig, at jeg ret Og al Tid følger dig!

Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 2 But they who have always resisted His grace And on their own virtue depended, Shall then be condemned and cast out from His face, Eternally lost and unfriended. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 3 O may we all hear when our Shepherd doth call, In accents persuasive and tender, That while there is time we make haste one and all And find Him, our mighty defender. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 4 O that we the throng of the ransomed may swell, To whom He hath granted remission. God graciously make us in heaven to dwell And save us from endless perdition. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 5 God grant that I may of His infinite love Remain in His merciful keeping; And sit with the King at His table above, When here in the grace I am sleeping. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 6 All trials are then like a dream that is past, Forgotten all trouble and sorrow; All questions and doubts have been answered at last; Then dawneth eternity's morrow. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 7 The heavens shall ring with an anthem more grand Than ever on earth was recorded; The blest of the Lord shall receive at His hand The crown to the victors awarded. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! Used With Tune: [There many shall come from the east and the west]

Father, how wide Thy glory shines!

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 311 hymnals Topics: Sin and Redemption; Epiphany, Fifth Sunday; Septuagesima Sunday; Quinquagesima Sunday; Lent, Second Sunday; Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Father, how wide Thy glory shines! How high thy wonders rise! Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousands through the skies. 2 Those mighty orbs proclaim Thy power, Their motions speak Thy skill; And on the wings of every hour We read Thy patience still. 3 But when we view Thy grand design To save rebellious worms, Where justice and compassion join In their divinest forms; 4 Our thoughts are lost in reverent awe: We love and we adore; Thy first archangel never saw So much of God before. 5 Then sinners break the Father's laws, The dying Son atones; Oh, the dear mysteries of His Cross! The triumph of His groans! Used With Tune: ABRIDGE

One there is above all others

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.7 Appears in 689 hymnals Topics: Praise to Christ; Epiphany, Second Sunday; Epiphany, Fifth Sunday; Sundays in Lent; Passion Week; Third Sunday after Trinity; Twelfth Sunday after Trinity; Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend. His is love beyond a brother's, Costly, free, and knows no end. They who once His kindness prove, Find it everlasting Love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed his blood? But this Saviour died to have us Reconciled in Him to God: This was boundless Love indeed: Jesus is a Friend in need. 3 When He lived on earth abaséd, Friend of sinners was His name, Now, above all glory raiséd, He rejoices in the same: Still He calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 O for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love, We, alas! forget too often What a Friend we have above: But when home our souls are brought, We will love Thee as we ought.

Naar Verden med sin Glæde sviger

Author: Dorotea Engelbretsdatter Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Naar Verden med sin Glæde sviger, Naar Lykken ikke altid ler, Naar Kors af alle Hjørner kiger, Og stirrende ind til mig ser, Da veed jeg ingen bedre Naad, End fly til Jesus med min Graad. 2 Han skjønner bedst min ringe Evne, Og ser, jeg er af vek Natur, Langt mere, end jeg selv tør nævne, Jeg skrøbelige Kreatur; Jeg er dog kun som bare Støv, Og bævrer ofte som et Løv. 3 Sit Løfte vil han aldrig rygge, Om han iblandt end bøier mig, Des krummer' Træ, des bedre Krykke, Des mere han saa faderlig Vil kue Kjøbets syndig Kvist, Des bedre naar jeg Himlen hist. 4 Thi vil jeg mine Tanker svinge Til dig, som i det Høie bor, At mine Sukke lydt skal klinge Hen op i Helligdommens Kor; Til Paradis jeg længse bær, Og jeg er træt af Livet her. 5 Men Verdens Pile mig ei skræmme, Hvor hart den Buen spænde vil, Hvad kan al Verdens Pine klemme Mod Glæden, som er oventil? Een Dag hos dig er bedre Kaar, End snæve her i tusind Aar. 6 Der skal min Tro med glæde lønnes, Og alle Taarer tørres af, Og mine døde Ben skal grønnes Som Arons Kjep og Mandel-Stav; Da kan jeg Herrens Aasyn se, Og veed af ingen Verdens Ve. 7 Mit Hjerte du, o Jesus, lede Til dig, som jeg begjærer helst! For Jakob var din Trøst tilrede, Han saa dig, og hans Sjæl blev frelst; Hvo dig maa se et Øieblik, Forglemmer snart al Verdens Skik. 8 Paa Berget skued ikkun Peder Et Glimt af denne Fryde-Færd, Straks ønsker han og trolig beder At maatte gjøre Bolig der, Hvad mon han synes nu derved, Hvis Sjæl er i den Herlighed? 9 Hvor ypperlig har Moses glimret, Saa snart han dig i syne fik? Stor Klarhed af hans Aasyn tindred, Da du hos ham paa Berget gik, Thi af din glans blev han opfyldt Som Aftensky af Solen gyldt. 10 O, kunde Moses da saa skinne, Som saa dig kun den korte Tid, Langt mere jeg, naar jeg skal trine I Himlen for dit Aasyn blid, Og se dig, Livsens klare Sol, At sidde paa din Ærestol! 11 Mod alle Sorger kan det trøste, At du er mig en naadig Gud, Om da mit Hjerte vilde briste, Om Livets Lys ret nu gik ud, Saa er dog Sjælen fuld af Fryd, Og venter paa Basunens Lyd. 12 Hvor sødt skal mine Øine blunde I Graven med god Ro og Mag Fra alle Verdens Kvide-Stunde, Og hvil indtil Dommedag, Til Røsten sører mig det Bud: Staa op, du Døde, kom herud!

Wesley Appears in 1,895 hymnals Topics: Worship General Petitions; Advent, Fourth Sunday; Epiphany, Fourth Sunday; Passion Week; Easter Season, Fifth Sunday; Whit-Sunday; Third Sunday after Trinity; Fifth Sunday after Trinity; Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Second Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all love excelling, Joy of heaven, to earth come down! Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart! 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving spirit Into every troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find Thy promised rest. Take away the love of sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty, to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Graciously return, and never, Never more Thy temples leave! Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy precious love. 4 Finish then Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee! Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Used With Tune: RIPLEY

Chorus: This, this is Christ, the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary! 2 Why lies He in such mean estate, Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear: for sinners here The silent Word is pleading.[Chorus] 3 So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come, peasant, king to own Him. The King of kings salvation brings; Let loving hearts enthrone Him.[Chorus] Baptist Hymnal, (2008)
