Planted in Christ, the living vine

Author: S. F. Smith Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #488 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Lyrics: 1 Planted in Christ, the living vine, This day, with one accord, Ourselves, with humble faith and joy, We yield to thee, O Lord. 2 Joined in one body may we be; One inward life partake; One be our heart; one heavenly hope In every bosom wake. 3 In prayer, in effort, tears, and toils, One wisdom be our guide; Taught by one Spirit from above, In thee may we abide. 4 Complete in us, whom grace hath called, Thy glorious work begun, O thou in whom the church on earth And church in heaven are one. 5 Around this feeble, trusting band Thy sheltering pinions spread, Nor let the storms of trial beat Too fiercely on our head. 6 Then, when, among the saints in light, Our joyful spirits shine, Shall anthems of immortal praise, O Lamb of God, be thine.

Author: Simon Graf Hymnal: Evangelisch-Lutherisches Gesang-Buch #460 (1848) Scripture: Philippians 1:21-23 Lyrics: 1 Christus, der ist mein Leben, Sterben ist mein Gewinn; dem thu' ich mich ergeben, mit Freud' fahr ich dahin. 2 Mit Freud' fahr ich von dannen zu Christ dem Bruder mein, daß ich mög' zu Ihm kommen und ewig bei ihm sein. 3 Nun hab' ich überwunden Creuz, Leiden, Angst und Noth, durch sein' heilig' fünf Wunden bin ich versöhnt mit Gott. 4 Wenn meine Kräfte brechen, mein Athem geht schwer aus, und kann kein Wort mehr sprechen, Herr, nimm mein Seufzen auf. 5 Wenn mein Herz und Gedanken vergehen wie ein Licht, das hin und her thut wanken, wenn ihm die Flamm gebricht: 6 Alsdann fein sanft und stille, Herr, laß mich schlafen ein nach Deinen Rath und Willen, wenn kommt mein Stündelein. 7 Und laß mich an Dir kleben, wie eine Klett' am Kleid, und ewig bei Dir leben leben in himmlischer Wonn' und Freud. 8 Amen, das wirst Du, Christe, verleihen gnädiglich, mit Deinem Geist mich rüste, daß ich fahr' seiliglich.

A Debtor to Mercy Alone

Author: Augustus Montague Toplady, 1740-1778 Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #463 (1990) Scripture: Philippians 1 Lyrics: 1 A debtor to mercy alone, of covenant mercy I sing; nor fear, with thy righteousness on, my person and off'ring to bring. The terrors of law and of God with me can have nothing to do; my Savior's obedience and blood hide all my transgressions from view. 2 The work which his goodness began, the arm of his strength will complete; his promise is yea and amen, and never was forfeited yet. Things future, nor things that are now, nor all things below or above, can make him his purpose forgo, or sever my soul from his love. 3 My name from the palms of his hands eternity will not erase; impressed on his heart it remains, in marks of indelible grace. Yes, I to the end shall endure, as sure as the earnest is giv'n; more happy, but not more secure, the glorified spirits in heav'n.

Rais'd in his arms to view his face, Thro' the full beamings of his grace! 5 As with a Seraph's voice to sing! To fly as on a cherub's wing!
