Dear Christians, one and all rejoice

Author: Richard Massie; Dr. Martin Luther Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all rejoice, With exultation springing, And, with united heart and voice And holy rapture singing, Proclaim the wonders God has done, How His right arm the vict'ry won; Right dearly it hath cost Him. 2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay; Death brooded darkly o'er me. Sin was my torment night and day; In sin my mother bore me; Deeper and deeper still I fell; My life became a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. 3 My good works so imperfect were, They had no power to aid me; My will God's judgments could not bear, Yea, prone to evil made me: Grief drove me to despair, and I Had nothing left me but to die; To hell I fast was sinking. 4 Then God beheld my wretched state With deep commiseration; He thought upon His mercy great, And willed my soul's salvation; He turned to me a Father's heart; Not small the cost! to heal my heart; Not small the cost! to heal my smart, He gave His best and dearest. 5 He spoke to His beloved Son: 'Tis time to have compassion: Then go, bright Jewel of my crown, And bring to man salvation; From sin and sorrow set him free; Slay bitter death for him, that he May live with Thee forever. 6 The Son obeyed right cheerfully, And, born of virgin mother, Came down upon the earth to me, That He might be my brother: His mighty power doth work unseen, He came in fashion poor and mean, And took the devil captive. 7 He sweetly said: Hold fast by Me, I am thy Rock and Castle. Thy Ransom I myself will be; For thee I strive and wrestle:' For I am with thee, I am thine And evermore thou shalt be mine, The foe shall not divide us. 8 The foe shall shed my precious blood, Me of my life bereaving; All this I suffer for thy good, Be steadfast and believing: Life shall from death the vict'ry win, My innocence shall bear thy sin, So art thou blest forever. 9 Now to My Father I depart, From earth to heaven ascending, Thence heavenly wisdom to impart, The Holy Spirit sending: He shall in trouble comfort thee, Teach thee to know and follow me, And to the truth conduct thee. 10 What I have done and taught, teach thou, My ways forsake thou never, So shall my kingdom flourish now, And God be praised, forever: Take heed lest men with base alloy The heavenly treasure should destroy; This counsel I bequeath thee.

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Author: H. F. Lyte Appears in 1,325 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, and hoped, and known, Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me; They have left my Savior, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like them, untrue; And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love and might, Foes may hate, and friends may shun me; Show Thy face and all is bright. 3 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure! Come disaster, scorn and pain! In Thy service, pain is pleasure; With Thy favor, loss is gain. I have called Thee Abba, Father; I have stayed my heart on Thee; Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, All must work for good to me. 4 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me, O 'twere not in joy to charm me Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 5 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find in every station, Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Savior died to win thee; Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 6 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Used With Tune: [Jesus, I my cross have taken]

Author: Kingo Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday; Fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 Vor Gud er idel Kjærlighed; I hannem vil jeg blive, Jeg og i hannem bliver ved, I mig vil han og give Fuld Tro og Trøst, Basunens Røst Den gjør mig ei forstrækket Paa Dommedag, Fordi min Sag Er alt med Naade dækket. 2 Jeg vil Gud elske inderlig, Og vil for intet frygte, Og ei med Sorgen pine mig, Om mig al Verden trykte. Op, Sjæl, og bed, At Kjærlighed Til Gud i dig kan brænde, Og at du saa Din næste maa Al Gunst og Godt tilvende! 3 Thi hvo, som siger dette, at Han elsker Gud af Hjerte, Og har sin Broder dog forladt I Armod, Rød og Smerte, Han lyver slemt, Og har forglemt, At Gud han elskes ikke, Hvor Arme maa Utrøsted' gaa Sin' Øines Graad at drikke. 4 O Gud, din Kjærlighed optænd Og lad din Aand det gjøre, Og kraftig Naade til mig send, Jeg saa mit Liv kan føre, At naar jeg maa Til Graven gaa, Jeg dør da til mit Bedste I Hjertens Fred Og Kjærlighed Til dig og til min Næste.
