Jesu, lover of my soul
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788r Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,300 hymnals Topics: Year C Proper 10 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the gath'ring 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 defenceless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
3 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cleanse from ev'ry 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. Scripture: John 4:14 Used With Tune: HOLLINGSIDE

God's watchful eye ne'er sleepeth;
within the shelter of God's might, lo!
all is just and all is right:

God gently leads the chosen band:

4 Thus all my gladsome way along,
I sing aloud thy praises
that all may hear the grateful song
my voice unwearied raises.
Be joyful in your God, my heart!

to God all praise and glory! Used With Tune: MIT FREUDEN ZART

that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.
2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
4 The Lord has promised good to me,
this word my hope secures;
God will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.
5 When we've been there ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we'd first begun. Used With Tune: AMAZING GRACE (NEW BRITAIN) Text Sources: V. 5 anon. from A Collection of Sacred Ballads, 1790; Cree, Ojibway, and Inuktitut translators unknown; Ethnic Ministries Council, The United Church of Canada also helped with Japanese transliteration, 1995

For the healing of the nations
Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Proper 10 Year C Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
Lord, we pray with one accord,
for a just and equal sharing
of the things that earth affords.
To a life of love in action
help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us forward into freedom,
from despair your world release,
that, redeemed from war and hatred,
all may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
let it from the earth be banned:
pride of status, race or schooling,
dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
may we hallow life’s brief span.
4 You, Creator-God, have written
your great name on humankind;
for our growing in your likeness,
bring the life of Christ to mind;
that by our response and service
earth its destiny may find. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:18 Used With Tune: ALLELUIA DULCE CARMEN

and, when wounded, healed thy wound;
sought thee wand'ering, set thee right,
turned thy darkness into light.
3 'Can a woman's tender care
cease towards the child she bare?
yes, she may forgetful be,
yet will I remember thee.
4 'Mine is an unchanging love,
higher than the heights above,
deeper than the depths beneath,
free and faithful, strong as death.
5 'Thou shalt see my glory soon,
when the work of grace is done;
partner of my throne shalt be:
say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?'
6 Lord, it is my chief complaint
that my love is weak and faint;
yet I love thee, and adore;
O for grace to love thee more!

in love all loves excelling
our lost and fallen race.

that will not fail nor leave me
as earthly riches fly.
My heart shall bloom forever
for you with praises new,
and from your name shall never
withhold the honour due. Used With Tune: ST. THEODULPH (VALET WILL ICH DIR GEBEN)
