Heal my wounded soul; remove These too sore temptations. I am weak; Father, speak Thou of peace and gladness; Comfort Thou my sadness. 3 Weary am I of my pain, Weary with my sorrow, Sighing still for help in vain, Longing for the morrow. Why wilt Thou Tarry now! Wilt Thou friendless leave me And of hope bereave me? 4 Hence ye foes, He comes in grace; God hath deigned to hear me. I may come before His face, He is inly near me. He o'erthrows All my foes, Death and hell are vanquished In whose bonds I languished. 5 Father, hymns to Thee we raise Here and once in heaven, And the Son and Spirit praise, Who our bonds have riven. Evermore We adore Thee whose love hath stirred us And whose pity heard us. Topics: Humility: Pharisee and Publican; Trinity 11 Used With Tune: STRAF MICH NICHT

Who here would languish Longer in bewailing and in anguish? 6 Come, 0 Christ, and loose the chains that bind us; Lead us forth and cast this world behind us. With Thee, th'Anointed, Finds the soul its joy and rest appointed. Topics: Death: A Sleep; Trinity 24

Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. 5 In the heav'nly country bright Need they no created light; Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down.
