Nearer, my God, to Thee

Author: Sarah Flower Adams Meter: 6.4 Appears in 2,553 hymnals Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee; Nearer to Thee! 2 Though, like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone, Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee; Nearer to Thee! 3 There let my way appear Steps unto heaven; All that Thou sendest me In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee; Nearer to Thee! 4 Then, with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee; Nearer to Thee! 5 Or if on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upwards I fly; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee; Nearer to Thee! Used With Tune: NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE

Searcher of hearts, before Thy face

Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Searcher of hearts, before Thy face I all my soul display, And, conscious of its innate arts, Entreat Thy strict survey. 2 If, lurking in its inmost folds, I any sin conceal, O let a ray of light divine The secret guile reveal! 3 If in these fatal fetters bound A wretched slave I lie: Smite off my chains, and wake my soul To light and liberty! 4 To humble penitence and prayer Be gentle pity given; Speak ample pardon to my heart, And seal its claim to heaven.

Naar Verden med sin Glæde sviger

Author: Dorotea Engelbretsdatter Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 Naar Verden med sin Glæde sviger, Naar Lykken ikke altid ler, Naar Kors af alle Hjørner kiger, Og stirrende ind til mig ser, Da veed jeg ingen bedre Naad, End fly til Jesus med min Graad. 2 Han skjønner bedst min ringe Evne, Og ser, jeg er af vek Natur, Langt mere, end jeg selv tør nævne, Jeg skrøbelige Kreatur; Jeg er dog kun som bare Støv, Og bævrer ofte som et Løv. 3 Sit Løfte vil han aldrig rygge, Om han iblandt end bøier mig, Des krummer' Træ, des bedre Krykke, Des mere han saa faderlig Vil kue Kjøbets syndig Kvist, Des bedre naar jeg Himlen hist. 4 Thi vil jeg mine Tanker svinge Til dig, som i det Høie bor, At mine Sukke lydt skal klinge Hen op i Helligdommens Kor; Til Paradis jeg længse bær, Og jeg er træt af Livet her. 5 Men Verdens Pile mig ei skræmme, Hvor hart den Buen spænde vil, Hvad kan al Verdens Pine klemme Mod Glæden, som er oventil? Een Dag hos dig er bedre Kaar, End snæve her i tusind Aar. 6 Der skal min Tro med glæde lønnes, Og alle Taarer tørres af, Og mine døde Ben skal grønnes Som Arons Kjep og Mandel-Stav; Da kan jeg Herrens Aasyn se, Og veed af ingen Verdens Ve. 7 Mit Hjerte du, o Jesus, lede Til dig, som jeg begjærer helst! For Jakob var din Trøst tilrede, Han saa dig, og hans Sjæl blev frelst; Hvo dig maa se et Øieblik, Forglemmer snart al Verdens Skik. 8 Paa Berget skued ikkun Peder Et Glimt af denne Fryde-Færd, Straks ønsker han og trolig beder At maatte gjøre Bolig der, Hvad mon han synes nu derved, Hvis Sjæl er i den Herlighed? 9 Hvor ypperlig har Moses glimret, Saa snart han dig i syne fik? Stor Klarhed af hans Aasyn tindred, Da du hos ham paa Berget gik, Thi af din glans blev han opfyldt Som Aftensky af Solen gyldt. 10 O, kunde Moses da saa skinne, Som saa dig kun den korte Tid, Langt mere jeg, naar jeg skal trine I Himlen for dit Aasyn blid, Og se dig, Livsens klare Sol, At sidde paa din Ærestol! 11 Mod alle Sorger kan det trøste, At du er mig en naadig Gud, Om da mit Hjerte vilde briste, Om Livets Lys ret nu gik ud, Saa er dog Sjælen fuld af Fryd, Og venter paa Basunens Lyd. 12 Hvor sødt skal mine Øine blunde I Graven med god Ro og Mag Fra alle Verdens Kvide-Stunde, Og hvil indtil Dommedag, Til Røsten sører mig det Bud: Staa op, du Døde, kom herud!

O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 342 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry, Though all my crimes before Thee lie, Behold them not with angry look, But blot their memory from Thy book. 2 Create my nature pure within, And form my soul averse to sin; Let Thy good Spirit ne'er depart, Nor hide Thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without Thy light, Cast out and banish from Thy sight; Thy holy joys, my God, restore, And guard me that I fall no more. 4 Though I have grieved Thy Spirit, Lord, His help and comfort still afford; And let me now come near Thy throne, To plead the merits of Thy Son. 5 A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring; Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemned to die. 6 O may Thy love inspire my tongue! Salvation shall be all my song; And all my powers shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 51 Used With Tune: ST. GOAR

Jesus, Lover of my soul

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 3,300 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high! Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee: Leave, ah, leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me! All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring: Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in Thee I find: Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy Name; I am all unrighteousness: False and full of sin I am; thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. Used With Tune: ST. EDMUND

Go to dark Gethsemane

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 512 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that feel the tempter's power, Your Redeemer's conflict see, Watch with Him one bitter hour; Turn not from His griefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment hall, View the Lord of life arraigned; O the wormwood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss, Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb, There, adoring at His feet, Mark the miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete: "It is finished!" hear Him cry: Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb, Where they laid His breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom; Who hath taken Him away? Christ is ris'n; He meets our eyes! Savior, teach us so to rise. Used With Tune: GETHSEMANE

He will in no wise cast you out! 3 Doth sin appear before your view Of scarlet or of crimson hue? If black as hell, why should you doubt? He will in no wise cast you out! 4 The publican and dying thief Applied to Christ, and found relief; Nor need you entertain a doubt: He will in no wise cast you out! 5 Approach your God, make no delay, He waits to welcome you to-day; His mercy try, nor longer doubt; He will in no wise cast you out.

O du min Immanuel

Author: Brorson Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Twenty third Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 O du min Immanuel, Jesus! hvilken Himmel-Glæde Har du gjort min arme Sjæl Ved dit Blods den Purpur-Væde! Fienden tænkte, den var fast, Men hans træske Snare brast. 2 Jeg er i min Faders Skjød, Har hos Gud i Himlen hjemme, Der er Synd og der der Død Ikke mere at fornemme; Arven faar jeg vist og sandt, Har den Helligaand til Pant. 3 Gud ske Lov for Dag, der gaar! Gud ske Lov for Dag, der kommer! Dermed har vi Jubelaar, Og en evig, evig Sommer, Da det sidste Morgenskjær Er, Halleluja, os nær! 4 Op, min Sjæl, til Fryd og Sang, Flyde hellig Glædes Taare, Hver Blodsdraabe Takkerklang Give, til jeg er paa Baare; Dig, som for os Kalken drak, Jesus, Jesus, evig Tak!
