Souls in heathen darkness lying
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #489 (1908) Topics: Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Souls in heathen darkness lying,
Where no light has broken through,
Souls that Jesus bought by dying,
Whom His soul in travail knew;
Thousand voices, thousands voices
Call us, o'er the waters blue.
2 Christians, hearken! None has taught them
Of His love so deep and dear;
Of the precious price that bought them;
Of the nail, the thorn, the spear;
Ye who know Him,
Guide them from their darkness drear.
3 Haste, oh, haste, and spread the tidings,
Wide to earth's remotest strand;
Let no brother's bitter chidings
Rise against us, when we stand
In the Judgment,
From some far, forgotten land.
4 Lo! the hills for harvest whiten,
All along each distant shore;
Seaward far the islands brighten;
Light of nations! lead us o'er;
When we seek them,
Let Thy Spirit go before.

Souls in heathen darkness lying
Behold, where in a mortal form
Author: William Enfield Hymnal: Church Book #151 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Behold, where in a mortal form
Appears each grace divine!
The virtues, all in Jesus met,
With mildest radiance shine.
2 To spread the rays of heavenly light,
To give the mourner joy,
To preach glad tidings to the poor,
Was His divine employ.
3 'Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn,
Patient and meek He stood.
His foes, ungrateful, sought His life;
He labored for their good.
4 In the last hours of deep distress,
Before His Father's throne,
With soul resigned He bowed, and said,
"Thy will, not mine, be done!"
5 Be Christ our Pattern and our Guide!
His image may we bear!
O may we tread His holy steps,
His joys and glory share! Languages: English Tune Title: TALLIS' ORDINAL
Behold, where in a mortal form
God is love: His mercy brightens
Author: Sir John Bowring, LL. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #171 (1908) Topics: Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 God is love: His mercy brightens
All the path in which we rove;
Bliss He wakes, and woe He lightens:
God is Wisdom, God is Love.
2 Time and change are busy ever,
Man decays and ages move;
But His mercy waneth never;
God is wisdom, God is love.
3 E'en the hour that darkest seemeth,
Will His changeless goodness prove;
From the gloom Him brightness streameth;
God is wisdom, God is love.
4 He with earthly care entwineth
Hope and comfort from above;
Everywhere His glory shineth;
God is wisdom, God is love. Languages: English Tune Title: TALMAR (Chester-Dorrnance)

So let our lips and lives express
Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #389 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 So let our lips and lives express
The holy Gospel we profess:
So let our works and virtues shine,
To prove the doctrine all divine.
2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad
The honors of our Saviour God;
When His salvation reigns within,
And grace subdues the power of sin.
3 Our flesh and sense must be denied,
Passion and envy, lust and pride;
While justice, temperance, truth and love
Our inward piety approve.
4 Religion bears our spirits up,
While we expect that blessed hope,
The bright appearance of the Lord,
And faith stands leaning on His Word. Languages: English Tune Title: HAMBURG

For they shall see our God;
The secret of the Lord is theirs;
Their soul is Christ's abode.

He doth Himself impart,
And for His temple and His throne
Chooseth the pure in heart.
3 Lord, we Thy presence seek,
May ours this blessing be;
O give the pure and lowly heart,
A temple meet for Thee! Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

Lord, if Thou Thy grace impart

2 Simple, teachable, and mild,
Changed into a little child,
Pleased with all the Lord provides,
Weaned from all the world besides.
3 Father, fix my soul on Thee;
Every evil let me flee:
Nothing want beneath, above,
Happy in Thy precious Love.

Every good in Christ combined!

Trust Him, praise Him evermore. Scripture: Psalm 131 Languages: English Tune Title: VIENNA

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Jane Borthwick Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #509 (1908) Topics: Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
O may Thy will be mine;
Into Thy hand of love
I would my all resign.
Through sorrow, or through joy,
Conduct me as Thine own;
And help me still to say,
My Lord, Thy will be done!
2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
If needy here and poor,
Give me Thy people’s bread,
Their portion rich and sure
The manna of Thy Word
Let my soul feed upon;
And if all else should fail
My Lord, Thy will be done!
3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Though seen through many a tear,
Let not my star of hope
Grow dim or disappear;
Since Thou on earth hast wept,
And sorrowed oft alone,
If I must weep with Thee,
My Lord, Thy will be done!
4 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
When death itself draws nigh,
To Thy dear wounded side
I would for refuge fly.
Leaning on Thee, to go
Where Thou before hast gone.
The rest as Thou shalt please;
My Lord, Thy will be done!
5 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
All shall be well for me;
Each changing future scene
I gladly trust with Thee.
Thus to my home above
I travel calmly on,
And sing, in life or death,
My Lord, Thy will be done! Languages: English Tune Title: JEWETT
My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
This day the light, of heavenly birth

And rose, omnipotent to save:
O Jesus, may we raiséd be
From death of sin to life in Thee.

With fiery tongues of cloven flame:

With grace to hear, and grace to pray.

From earthly toils sweet resting-place
thy hallowed hours, best gift of love,
We give again to God above. Languages: English Tune Title: JAM LUCIS ORTO SIDERE

Jesus, whom Thy Church doth own
Author: Gerhard Terstegen; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #193 (1908) Topics: Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jesus, whom Thy Church doth own
As her Head and King alone,
Bless me Thy poor member too;
And Thy Spirit's influence give
That to Thee henceforth I live,
Daily Thou my strength renew.
2 Let Thy living Spirit flow
Through Thy members all below,
With its warmth and power divine;
Scatter'd far apart they dwell,
Yet in every land, full well,
Lord, Thou knowest who is Thine.
3 Those who serve Thee I would serve,
Never from their union swerve,
Here I cry before Thy face--
Zion, God give thee good speed,
Christ thy footsteps ever lead,
Make thee steadfast in His ways. Languages: English Tune Title: SULLIVAN
Jesus, whom Thy Church doth own
Lord, and whither shall we go?
Author: Robert Montgomery Hymnal: Church Book #226 (1890) Topics: Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Lord, and whither shall we go?
Thou alone hast words of life!
In our stormy griefs below,
Who, but Thou, can heal the strife
Sin and sorrow round us being,
In life's vale while wandering?
2 Blessed Christ! embodied Word!
Thou alone art Life and Light:
Saints who have Thy truth preferred
Walk in peace, and worship right:
Thou alone to sin canst say,
"I am Love, the Living Way."
3 Sun of Grace, O ever shine
Round our paths, where'er they lead!
Midnight feels a ray divine
Breaking through the darkest need,
If we hear, when most dismayed,
"It is I, be not afraid!"
4 Pardon, peace, and purity,
Gifts without, and grace within,
Love and light which set us free
From the curse and chain of sin--
These, Emmanuel, Thou canst give,
While upon Thy words we live.
5 Not a want, Thou canst not fill;
Not a fear, Thou wilt not tame;
If, indeed, repentance will
Rest upon Thy glorious Name,
High o'er every guilt and grave
Shall Redemption's banner wave!
6 Saviour, be our Polar Star,
Shaded by no sinful night;
Shed upon us from afar
Living beams of holy light:
When we reach our radiant home,
We shall know the Way we come. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. NINIAN
Lord, and whither shall we go?
