O enter, Lord, Thy temple
Author: Paul Gerhardt; Miss Winkworth Meter: 7.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Fifth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O enter, Lord, Thy temple,
Be Thou my spirit's Guest,
Who at my birth didst give me
A second birth more blest.
Though here to dwell Thou deignest,
Thou in the Godhead, Lord,
For ever equal reignest,
Art equally adored.
2 O enter, let me know Thee,
And feel Thy power within,
The power that breaks our fetters,
And rescues us from sin.
That I may serve Thee truly,
O wash and cleanse Thou me,
To render honor duly
With perfect heart to Thee.
3 'Tis Thou, O Spirit, teachest
The soul to pray aright;
Thy songs have sweetest music,
Thy prayers have wondrous might.
They pierce the highest heaven
Unheard they cannot fall,
Till He His help hath given
Who surely helpeth all.
4 The whole wide world, O Spirit,
Upon Thy hands doth rest;
Our wayward hearts Thou turnest
As it may seem Thee best.
As Thou hast done so often,
Once more Thy power make known,
Convert the wicked, soften
To tears the heart of stone.
5 Order our path in all things
According to Thy mind,
And when this life is over,
And all must be resigned,
With calm and fearless spirit
O grant us then to die,
And after death inherit
Eternal life on high. Used With Tune: ZEUCH EIN ZU DEINEN THOREN
O enter, Lord, Thy temple
Jesus, Thou art my Righteousness
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: The Order of Salvation Faith and Justification; Sundays in Lent; Lent, Second Sunday; Lent, Fifth Sunday; Passion Week; Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thou art my Righteousness,
For all my sins were Thine:
Thy Death hath bought of God my peace,
Thy life hath made Him mine.
2 For ever here my rest shall be,
Close to Thy bleeding side;
This all my hope and all my plea:
For me the Saviour died.
3 My dying Saviour and my God,
Fountain for guilt and sin,
Sprinkle me ever with Thy Blood,
And cleanse, and keep me lean.
4 The Atonement of Thy Blood apply,
Till faith to sight improve;
Till hope in full fruition die,
And all my soul be love. Used With Tune: ST. MARY'S
Jesus, Thou art my Righteousness
I thirst, Thou wounded Lamb of God
Author: John Wesley; N. L. v. Zinzendorf; John Nitschmann; Anna Nitschmann Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 245 hymnals Topics: The Order of Salvation Faith and Justification; Sundays in Lent; Lent, Second Sunday; Lent, Fifth Sunday; Passion Week; Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 I thirst, Thou wounded Lamb of God,
To wash me in Thy cleansing Blood;
To dwell within Thy wounds; then pain
Is sweet, and life or death is gain.
2 Take this poor heart, and let it be
For ever closed to all but Thee!
Seal Thou my breast, and let me wear
That pledge of love for ever there.
3. How blest are they who still abide,
Close sheltered in Thy bleeding side!
Who life and strength from Thee derive,
And by Thee move, and in Thee live!
4 What are our works but sin and death,
Till Thou Tthy quickening Spirit breathe?
Thou giv’st the power Thy grace to move;
O wondrous grace! O boundless Love!
5 How can it be, Thou heavenly King,
That Thou shouldst us to glory bring;
Make slaves the partners of Thy throne,
Decked with a never-fading crown?
6 Ah Lord, enlarge our scanty thought,
To know the wonders Thou hast wrought;
Unloose our stammering tongues, to tell
Thy Love immense, unsearchable! Used With Tune: FRANKFORT
I thirst, Thou wounded Lamb of God
Who knew no sin and no deceiving
Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D.; Rev. George Cronenwett Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Fifth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Who knew no sin and no deceiving,
Has borne my sin and my distress;
And I by grace in Him believing,
Now deck me with His righteousness.
As He is sinner to my good,
So I am holy through His blood.
2 Nay not in me, self-righteous were it,
On God's grace rests my holiness;
He looks on Christ's atoning merit,
And counts this as my righteousness:
This I believe, and hence my claim,
That I am holy in His Name.
3 In Christ, by faith then, I am holy,
In self though 'tis not yet the case;
But I will likewise now so wholly
Seek e'er in life to walk by grace,
That soul and body may remain
All blameless till Christ come again.
4 I will devote my every member
To serve in righteousness God's will,
Then when I falter, e'er remember
That I may trust God's mercy still;
And pray that God would guide through strife,
That I may lead a holy life.
5 Thus will I walk, O God, before Thee,
That my light too may shine alway
And that I by my life adore Thee,
Till I at length on that great day
In life and self shall holy be,
And wholly perfect, Lord, with Thee. Used With Tune: NEUMARK (Wer nur den lieben Gott)
Who knew no sin and no deceiving
When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay
Author: Thomas Gibbons Appears in 156 hymnals Topics: First Sunday after Epiphany; Second Sunday after Easter; Fifth Sunday after Easter; Second Sunday after Trinity; Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity; Quinquagesima; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay,
What were His works from day to day,
But miracles of pow'r and grace,
Which spread salvation thro' our race?
2 Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view
Thy pattern, and Thy steps pursue:
Let alms bestowed, let kindness done,
Be witnessed by each rolling sun.
3 That man may last, but never lives,
Who much receives, but nothing gives:
Whom none can love, whom none can thank,
Creation's blot, creation's blank.
4 But he who marks from day to day
In gen'rous acts his radiant way,
The same path treads the Savior trod,
The path to glory and to God. Used With Tune: SURREY
When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay
My faith securely buildeth
Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: First Sunday after Easter; Fourth Sunday after Trinity; Fifth Sunday after Easter; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 My faith securely buildeth
On Christ who shed His blood;
This, and this only, yieldeth
The true eternal good.
The life that my soul liveth,
Finds nothing on the earth;
What Christ, the Savior, giveth
Of all our love is worth.
2 No angel, nought that gladdens,
No throne nor majesty,
No love, nor aught that saddens,
No grief nor misery,
Nor aught that man discovers,
Now be it small or great,
From Thee, my heavenly Lover's
Embrace can separate.
3 My heart with joy is springing,
And sad I cannot be;
'Tis full of joy and singing,
The sunshine doth it see.
The Sun that looks with pleasure
On me is Christ my King;
The glory beyond measure
That waits me, makes me sing. Used With Tune: CRUCIFIX
My faith securely buildeth
Fear not, O little flock, the foe
Author: Miss Winkworth; Gustavus Adolphus Appears in 106 hymnals Topics: Fifth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Fear not, 0 little flock, the foe
Who madly seeks your overthrow;
Dread not his rage and power:
What though your courage sometimes faints,
His seeming triumph o'er God's saints
Lasts but a little hour.
2 Be of good cheer; your cause belongs
To Him who can avenge your wrongs;
Leave it to Him, our Lord.
Though hidden yet from mortal eyes,
Salvation shall for you arise:
He girdeth on His sword!
3 As true as God's own Word is true,
Not earth nor hell with all their crew
Against us shall prevail.
A jest and byword are they grown:
God is with us; we are His own;
Our victory cannot fail.
4 Amen, Lord Jesus, grant our prayer!
Great Captain, now Thine arm make bare;
Fight for us once again!
So shall Thy saints and martyrs raise
A mighty chorus to Thy praise,
World without end. Amen. Used With Tune: VERZAGE NICHT, DU HAÜFLEIN KLEIN
Fear not, O little flock, the foe
Light of those whose dreary dwelling
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.7 Appears in 356 hymnals Topics: Advent; Advent, Fourth Sunday; Epiphany, Fifth Sunday; Fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Light of those whose dreary dwelling
Borders on the shades of death,
Come, and by Thy Love's revealing,
Dissipate the clouds beneath.
2 Thou, new heaven and earth's Creator,
In our deepest darkness rise;
Scattering all the night of nature,
Pouring eyesight on our eyes.
3 Still we wait for Thine appearing;
Life and joy Thy beams impart,
Chasing all our fears, and cheering
Every poor, benighted heart.
4 Come, and manifest the favor
God hath for our ransomed race;
Come, Thou mighty Prince and Saviour,
Come, and bring the Gospel grace.
5 By Thine all-restoring merit,
Every burdened soul release:
Every weary, wandering spirit
Guide into Thy perfect peace. Used With Tune: TONBRIDGE
Light of those whose dreary dwelling
The Spirit's fruits are peace and love
Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Second Sunday after Epiphany; Third Sunday after Epiphany; Fifth Sunday after Epiphany; Third Sunday in Lent; Third Sunday after Easter; Eighth Sunday after Trinity; Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Second Sunday after Trinity; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 The Spirit's fruits are peace and love,
And purity from heav'n above;
Grace, meekness, gentleness, and joy,
With goodness, new-born lives employ.
2 The Spirit makes life's pathway plain,
Imparts the grace that will sustain;
And grace its work in those who show,
Who truly to the Spirit sow.
3 They that are Christ's have crucified
Their flesh with all its lusts and pride,
And seek in truth what they profess,
And walk the paths of holiness.
4 Lord, fill with grace our wayward heart,
Nor let Thy Spirit from us part;
O save us from still hidden sin,
And form our nature pure within:
5 That watchful, prayerful, sober, strong,
We grow the more as strifes prolong,
And of the Spirit reap at last
Eternal life, when strife is past. Used With Tune: WARNER
The Spirit's fruits are peace and love
O Holy Spirit, enter in
Author: Miss Winkworth; Michael Schirmer Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: The Holy Spirit; Sexagesima Sunday; Easter Season, Fifth Sunday; Sunday after Ascension; Whit-Sunday; Tenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O Holy Spirit, enter in,
Among these hearts Thy work begin,
Thy temple deign to make us;
Sun of the soul, Thou Light Divine,
Around and in us brightly shine,
To strength and gladness wake us.
Where Thou shinest, Life from heaven
There is given.
We before Thee
For that precious gift implore Thee.
2 Left to ourselves we shall but stray;
O lead us on the narrow way,
With wisest counsel guide us,
And give us steadfastness, that we
May henceforth truly follow Thee,
Whatever woes betide us:
Heal thou gently, Hearts now broken,
Give some token
Thou art near us,
Whom we trust to light and cheer us.
3 O mighty Rock! O Source of Life,
Let Thy dear Word, 'mid doubt and strife,
Be so within us burning,
That we be faithful unto death,
In Thy pure love and holy faith,
From Thee true wisdom learning!
Lord, Thy graces, On us shower,
By Thy power
Christ confessing,
Let us win His grace and blessing.
4 O gentle Dew, from heaven now fall
With power upon the hearts of all,
Thy tenderness instilling;
That heart to heart more closely
Fruitful in kindly deeds be found,
The law of love fulfilling;
No wrath, no strife, Here shall grieve Thee,
We receive Thee,
Where thou livest
Peace and love and joy Thou givest.
5 Grant that our days, while life shall last,
In purest holiness be past;
Our minds so rule and strengthen
That thy may rise o'er things of earth,
The hopes and joys that here have birth;
And if our course Thou lengthen,
Keep Thou pure, Lord, From offences,
Heart and senses;
Blessed Spirit,
Bid us thus true life inherit. Used With Tune: WHITSUNDAY
