Take Time to Be Holy
Author: William D. Longstaff Hymnal: Voices United #672 (1996) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Topics: Epiphany 8 Year A Lyrics: 1 Take time to be holy,
speak oft with your Lord;
abide in him always,
and feed on his word.
Make friends of God's children,
help those who are weak,
forgetting in nothing
his blessing to seek.
2 Take time to be holy,
let him be your guide,
and run not before him,
whatever betide.
In joy or in sorrow,
still follow the Lord,
and, looking to Jesus,
still trust in his word.
3 Take time to be holy,
be calm in your soul,
each thought and each motive
beneath his control.
Thus led by his spirit
to fountains of love,
you soon shall be fitted
for service above. Languages: English Tune Title: HOLINESS
Take Time to Be Holy
O God of Mercy, God of Light
Author: Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #425 (1978) Meter: 8.8.8.6 Topics: Epiphany 8 Lyrics: 1 O God of mercy, God of light,
In love and mercy infinite,
Teach us, as ever in your sight,
To live our lives in you.
2 You sent your Son to die for all,
That our lost world might hear your call;
Oh, hear us, lest we stray and fall!
We rest our hope in you.
3 Teach us the lesson Jesus taught:
To feel for those his blood has bought,
That ev'ry deed and word and thought
May work a work for you.
4 For all are kindred, far and wide,
Since Jesus Christ for all has died;
Grant us the will, and grace provide
To love them all in you.
5 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care,
Each other's burdens help us share;
May we, where help is needed, there
Give help as though to you.
6 And may your Holy Spirit move
All those who live to live in love,
Till you receive in heav'n above
Those who have lived to you. Languages: English Tune Title: JUST AS I AM
O God of Mercy, God of Light
Salvation unto Us Has Come
Author: Paul Speratus, 1484-1551 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #297 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Epiphany 8 Lyrics: 1 Salvation unto us has come
By God's free grace and favor;
Good works cannot avert our doom,
They help and save us never.
Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone,
Who did for all the world atone;
He is our mediator.
2 Theirs was a false, misleading dream
Who thought God's law was given
That sinners might themselves redeem
And by their works gain heaven.
The Law is but a mirror bright
To bring the inbred sin to light
That lurks within our nature.
3 And yet the Law fulfilled must be,
Or we were lost forever;
Therefore God sent his Son that he
Might us from death deliver.
He all the Law for us fulfilled,
And thus his Father's anger stilled
Which over us impended.
4 Faith clings to Jesus' cross alone
And rests in him unceasing;
And by its fruits true faith is known,
With love and hope increasing.
For faith alone can justify;
Works serve our neighbor and supply
The proof that faith is living.
5 All blessing, honor, thanks, and praise
To Father, Son, and Spirit,
The God who saved us by his grace,
All glory to his merit.
O triune God in heav'n above,
You have revealed your saving love;
Your blessed name we hallow. Languages: English Tune Title: ES IS DAS HEIL
Salvation unto Us Has Come

The author of creation,
The God of love who understood
Our need for his salvation.
With healing balm our souls he fills
And ev'ry faithless murmur stills:
To God all praise and glory!
2 What God’s almighty pow'r has made,
In mercy he is keeping;
By morning glow or evening shade,
His eye is never sleeping;
Within the kingdom of his might
All things are just and good and right:
To God all praise and glory!
3 We sought the Lord in our distress;
O God, in mercy hear us.
Our Savior saw our helplessness
And came with peace to cheer us.
For this we thank and praise the Lord
Who is by one and all adored:
To God all praise and glory!
4 Let all who name Christ’s holy name
Give God the praise and glory.
Let all who know his pow'r proclaim
Aloud the wondrous story.
Cast ev'ry idol from its throne,
For God is God, and he alone:
To God all praise and glory! Languages: English Tune Title: LOBT GOTT DEN HERREN, IHR

Isaiah the Prophet Has Written of Old
Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: Voices United #680 (1996) Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Topics: Epiphany 8 Year C Lyrics: 1 Isaiah the prophet has written of old
how God's new creation shall come,
instead of the thorn tree the fir tree shall grow;
the wolf shall lie down with the lamb.
The mountains and hills shall break forth into song,
the peoples be led forth in peace,
for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God
as the waters cover the sea.
2 Yet nations still prey on the meek of the world,
and conflict turns parent from child.
Your people despoil all the sweetness of earth;
the brier and the thorn tree grow wild.
God, bring to fruition your will for the earth,
that no one shall hurt or destroy,
when wisdom and justice shall reign in the land
and your people shall go forth in joy. Languages: English Tune Title: SAMANTHRA
Isaiah the Prophet Has Written of Old
There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick William Faber Hymnal: Voices United #271 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Epiphany 8 Year B Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy
like the wideness of the sea;
there's a kindness in God's justice
which is more than liberty.
2 There is no place where earth's sorrows
are more felt than up in heaven;
there is no place where earth's failings
have such gracious judgement given.
3 There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that Christ has shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the Head.
4 Troubled souls, why will you scatter
like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why will you wander
from a love so true and deep?
5 For the love of God is broader
than the measures of the mind,
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind. Tune Title: GOTT WILL'S MACHEN

Yigdal elohim chai v'yishtabach,
nimtza v'ein eit el m'tziuto
Echad v'ein yachid k'yichudo,
nelam v'gai ein sof l'achduto.
1 The God of Abraham praise,
all praises to God's name,
who was and is and is to be,
fore'er the same!
The one eternal God,
before what now appears;
the First, the Last:
beyond all thought
through timeless years!
2 God's spirit freely flows,
high surging where it will;
God spoke of old in prophet's word;
that word speaks still.
Established is God's law,
and changeless it shall stand
deep written on the human heart,
in every land.
3 God has eternal life
implanted in the soul;
God's love shall be
our strength and stay,
while ages roll.
All praise the living God!
Extol that hallowed name,
who was, and is, and ever shall
be still the same!
4 The God of Sarah praise,
all praises to God's name,
who was and is and is to be,
fore'er the same!
The one eternal God,
before what now appears;
the First, the Last: beyond all thought
through timeless years!
