What a Friend we have in Jesus
Author: Joseph Scriven Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #495b (1908) Topics: The Catechism Prayer; Fifth Sunday after Easter; Eleventh Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev'rything to God in pray'r!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in pray'r!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged:
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness--
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our Refuge,--
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He'll take and shield you;
Thou wilt find a solace there. Languages: English Tune Title: ERIE

Sweeter lesson cannot be,
Loving Him who first loved me.
2 With a childlike heart of love,
At Thy bidding may I move;
Prompt to serve and follow Thee,
Loving Him Who first loved me.
3 Teach me all Thy steps to trace,
Strong to follow in Thy grace;
Learning how to love from Thee;
Loving Him who first loved me.
4 Love in loving finds employ,
In obedience all her joy;
Ever new that joy will be,
Loving Him who first loved me.
5 Thus may I rejoice to show
That I feel the love I owe;
Singing, till Thy face I see,
Of His love who first loved me.

In the Cross of Christ I glory
Death in all this world prevaileth
Author: J. G. Albinus Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #513 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Topics: The Church Year Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Death in all this world prevaileth:
Human life, a summer flower;
Blooms at morn,at even faileth,
But there comes a brighter hour.
When o'er death shall rise victorious,
And appear in forms more glorious,
To a better life restored,
Who have loved and served their Lord.
2 Jesus yielded up His spirit,
And His ransomed people gain
Life eternal by His merit;
Death has armed his sting in vain.
For the unfettered soul ascendeth
To the world which never endeth,
There without a veil to see
God's true face eternally.
3 There is life that knows no sadness,
There, a numberless array,
White-robed denizens of gladness,
Unto God their homage pay:
Choir aloud to choir rejoices,
Seraphs with delighted voices
Holy, holy, holy, sing
To their Triune God and King.
4 There the patriarchs abiding,
There the prophets all have rest,
There the noble twelve residing
In their Master's love are blest;
There the saints in holy splendor
To the Lamb their praises render,
Harping sweet in solemn strains
"Hallelujah! Jesus reigns."

O what terror in thy forethought
Author: Peter Damian, d. 1072; John Mason Neale Hymnal: Church Book #543 (1890) Meter: 8.7 Topics: Twenty Fifth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O what terror in thy forethought,
Ending scene of mortal life!
Heart is sickened, reins are loosened,
Thrills each nerve, with terror rife,
When the anxious heart depicteth
All the anguish of the strife!
2 Christ, unconquered King of glory!
Thou my wretched soul relieve
In that last extremest terror
When the body she must leave:
Let the Accuser of the brethren
O'er me then no power receive!
3 Let the Prince of darkness vanish,
And Gehenna's legions fly!
Shepherd, Thou Thy sheep, thus ransomed,
To Thy country lead on high,
Where for ever in fruition
I may see Thee eye to eye! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETER'S
O what terror in thy forethought
When my last hour is close at hand
Author: Edgar Alfred Bowring; Nikolaus Hermann Hymnal: Church Book #547 (1890) Topics: Twenty Fifth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand,
My last sad journey taken,
Do Thou, Lord Jesus! by me stand,
Let me not be forsaken.
O Lord, my spirit I resign
Into Thy loving hands divine;
'Tis safe within Thy keeping.
2 Countless as sands upon the shore,
My sins may then appall me;
Yet, though my conscience vex me sore,
Despair shall not enthrall me:
For as I draw my latest breath,
I'll think, Lord Christ! upon Thy Death,
And there find consolation.
3 I shall not in the grave remain,
Since Thou death's bonds hast severed;
But hope with Thee to rise again,
From fear of death delivered,
For where Thou art, there I shall be.
That I may ever live with Thee:
This is my joy in dying.
4 And so to Jesus Christ I'll go,
My longing arms extending;
So fall asleep in slumber deep,
Slumber that knows no ending,
Till Jesus Christ, God's only Son,
Opens the gates of bliss, leads on
To heaven, to life eternal. Languages: English Tune Title: WENN MEIN STÜNDLEIN VORHANDEN IST

When the last agony draws nigh
Author: John Andew Gramlich; Miss Winkworth Hymnal: Church Book #548 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Twenty Fifth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 When the last agony draws nigh,
My spirit sinks in bitter fear:
Courage! I conquer though I die,
For Christ with Death once wrestled here.
Thy strife, O Christ, with death's dark power
Upholds me in this fearful hour.
2 In faith I hide myself in Thee;
I shall not perish in the strife;
I share Thy war, Thy victory,
And death is swallowed up in Life.
Thy strife, O Christ, with death of yore
Hath conquered, and I fear no more. Languages: English Tune Title: WINKWORTH

Once slain to take away our load!
Now let Thy Cross, Thine agony,
Avail to save and solace me;
Thy Death to open heaven, and there
Bid me the joy of angels share.

Sweet Comforter, be Thou my Friend!
When death and hell assail me sore,
Leave me, O leave me nevermore,
But bear me safely through the strife,
As Thou hast promised, into Life. Languages: English Tune Title: VENI CITO
O Lord my God, I cry to Thee!
Thou Judge of quick and dead
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: Church Book #572 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Twenty Fifth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Thou Judge of quick and dead,
Before whose bar severe,
With holy joy or guilty dread
We all shall soon appear;
Our cautioned souls prepare
For that tremendous day,
And fill us now with watchful care,
nd stir us up to pray:
2 To pray, and wait the hour,
That wondrous hour unknown,
When, robed in majesty and power,
Thou shalt from heaven come down,
The immortal Son of Man,
To judge the human race,
With all Thy Father’s dazzling train,
With all Thy glorious grace.
3 O may we all be found
Obedient to Thy word,
Attentive to the trumpet’s sound,
And looking for our Lord!
O may we thus ensure
A lot among the blest;
And watch a moment to secure
An everlasting rest. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AUGUSTINE
Thou Judge of quick and dead
