Jesus, still lead on
Author: Jane Borthwick; Nicholas Louis, Count Zinzendorf Meter: 5.5.8 Appears in 290 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jesus, still lead on,
Till our Rest be won!
And although the way be cheerless,
We will follow, calm and fearless.
Guide us by Thy hand
To our Fatherland!
2 If the way be drear,
If the foe be near,
Let not faithless fears o'ertake us,
Let not faith and hope forsake us;
For through many a foe
To our home we go!
3 When we seek relief
From a long-felt grief;
When temptations come alluring,
Make us patient and enduring:
Show us that bright shore
Where we weep no more!
4 Jesus, still lead on,
Till our Rest be won;
Heavenly Leader, still direct us,
Still support, console, protect us,
Till we safely stand
In our Fatherland. Used With Tune: SEELENBRÄUTIGAM
Jesus, still lead on
Our nature fell in Adam's fall
Author: Lazarus Spengler; Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Our nature fell in Adam's fall,
One common sin infects us all,
From sire to son the bane descends,
And over all the curse impends.
2 Corruption creeps through all our powers,
And withers all life's heavenly flowers;
In guilt we draw our earliest breath,
And reap its fruits of woe and death.
3 From hearts depraved, to evil prone,
Flow thoughts and deed of sin alone;
God's image lost, the darkened soul
Nor seeks nor finds its heavenly goal.
4 But Christ, the second Adam, came
To bear our sin and woe and shame,
To be our life, and by His grace
To new-create our fallen race.
5 Thanks, Savior! that new life is ours,
That grace has changed our broken powers;
O, still that saving grace extend,
To make us steadfast to the end. Used With Tune: WINDHAM
Our nature fell in Adam's fall
My God, I love Thee; not because
Author: Francis Xavier, d. 1552; Edward Caswall Appears in 211 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee; not because
I hope for heaven thereby;
Nor because they, who love Thee not,
Must burn eternally.
2 Thou, O my Jesus! Thou didst me
Upon the Cross embrace;
For me didst bear the nails and spear,
And manifold disgrace;
3 And griefs and torments numberless,
And sweat of agony;
E'en death itself--and all for one
Who was Thine enemy.
4 Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ!
Should I not love Thee well?
Not for the sake of winning heaven,
Nor of escaping hell;
5 Not with the hope of gaining aught;
Not seeking a reward;
But, as Thyself hast lovéd me,
O ever loving Lord!
6 E'en so I love Thee, and will love,
And in Thy praise will sing;
Solely because Thou art my God,
And my eternal King. Used With Tune: CHESHIRE
My God, I love Thee; not because
When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay
Author: Thomas Gibbons Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 156 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay,
What were His works from day to day
But miracles of power and grace,
Which spread salvation through 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.
Used With Tune: MELCOMBE
When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay
Christ's crimson blood and righteousness
Author: Nicoluas Ludwig Count von Zinzendorf; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Christ's crimson blood and righteousness
My glory are and spotless dress;
In this before my God I'll stand
And enter heaven, my fatherland.
2 And should I through Christ's merits prove
Yet e'er so faithful in my love,
That I could keep from wrong alway
And sin not, to my dying day,
3 Still would I, when I Christ shall see,
Not think of zeal or piety,
But this: a sinner nears the throne
Whose plea for life is grace alone.
4 Being praised, O Jesus, without end,
That Thou from heaven didst descend,
And hast for me a ransom paid—
For a full atonement made. Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM (New)
Christ's crimson blood and righteousness
In vain would boasting reason find
Author: Anna Steele Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 In vain would boasting reason find
The path to happiness and God;
Her weak directions leave the mind
Bewildered in a doubtful road.
2 Jesus, Thy words alone impart
Eternal life; on these I live;
Diviner comforts cheer my heart
Than all the powers of nature give.
3 Here let my constant feet abide;
Thou art the true, the living way.
Let Thy good Spirit be my guide
To the bright realms of endless day.
4 The various forms that men devise
To shake my faith with treach'rous art
I scorn as vanity and lies
And bind Thy Gospel to my heart. Used With Tune: SEASONS
In vain would boasting reason find
Lord of glory, Thou hast bought us
Author: Eliza S. Alderson Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Lord of glory, Thou hast bought us
With Thy life-blood as the price,
Never grudging for the lost ones
That tremendous sacrifice,
And with that hast freely given
Blessings countless as the sand,
To th'unthankful and the evil
With Thine own unsparing hand.
2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord, to yield Thee,
Gladly, freely of Thine own;
With the sunshine of Thy goodness
Melt our thankless hearts of stone;
Till our cold and selfish natures,
Warmed by Thee, at length believe
That more happy and more blessed
'Tis to give than to receive.
3 Wondrous honor hast Thou given
To our humblest charity
In Thine own mysterious sentence,
"Ye have done it unto Me."
Can it be, O gracious Master,
Thou dost deign for alms to sue,
Saying, by Thy poor and needy,
"Give as I have given to you?"
4 Lord of glory, who hast bought us
With Thy life-blood as the price,
Never grudging for the lost ones
That tremendous sacrifice.
Give us faith, to trust Thee boldly,
Hope, to stay our souls on Thee;
But, O best of all Thy graces,
Give us Thine own charity. Used With Tune: [Lord of glory, Thou hast bought us]
Lord of glory, Thou hast bought us
Come, brethren, let us hasten on!
Author: G. Tersteegen Meter: 8.6.8.6.6.6.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Come, brethren, let us hasten on!
The evening closeth round,
'Tis perilous to linger here
On this wild desert ground.
Come, toward eternity,
Press on from strength to strength,
Nor dread your journey's toil and length,
For good its end shall be.
2 We shall not sue our final choice,
Though straight our path and steep;
We know that He who called us here,
His word shall ever keep.
Then follow, trusting, come,
And let each set his face
Toward yonder fair and blessed place,
Intent to reach our home.
3 Come, children, let us unward go!
We travel hand in hand;
Each in his brother find his joy
In this wild stranger land.
As children let us be,
Nor by the way fall out,
The angels guard us round about,
And help us brotherly.
4 Let all the strong be quick to raise
The weaker when they fall;
Let love and peace and patience bloom
In ready help for all.
In love yet closer bound,
Each would be least, yet still
On love's fair path most pure from ill,
Most loving would be found.
5 Come, brothers, wander on with joy,
For shorter grows the way,
The hour that frees us from the flesh
Draws nearer day by day.
A little truth and love,
A little courage yet,
More free from earth, more apt to set
Your hopes on things above.
6 It will not last for very long,
A little farther roam;
It will not last much longer now
Ere we shall reach our home;
There shall we ever rest,
There with our Father dwell,
With all the saints who served Him well,
There truly, deeply blest.
7 Friend of our dear and perfect choice,
Thou joy of all that live,
Being that know'st not chance or change,
What courage dost thou give!
All beauty, Lord, we see,
All bliss and life and love,
In Him in whom we live and move,
And we are glad in Thee. Used With Tune: [Come, brethren, let us hasten on!]
Come, brethren, let us hasten on!
The duty first on us enjoin'd
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The duty first on us enjoin'd,
That is to love the Lord:
With all our hearts, and all our mind,
And all we can afford.
2 The next command is full as great,
To love our neighbours too--
Of like importance, and of weight,
As all the scriptures shew.
3 If we love God with all our heart;
Then sure it must succeed;
We ne'er neglect to act our part,
To those who are in need.
4 All acts of mercy God respects!
Far more than sacrifice;
For such are they which he directs:
And ever highly prize.
5 That soul can never be impress'd,
With love and grace divine;
Who will not feel for the distress'd,
To bear them on their mind.
6 Where words and actions don't agree,
Profession is in vain.
For love to God there cannot be,
Where there is none to men.
7 All such religion is but mock,
A tree without a root:
Where it consists of only talk,
And not of genuine fruit. Scripture: Luke 10:23-37
The duty first on us enjoin'd
How shall we show our love to Thee
Author: Isaac Williams Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 How shall we show our love to Thee,
Thou living God most high,
But loving this Thy family,
For which Thou deignedst to die?
2 If Thou for me such Love didst bear,
Shall I not love again?
For all are objects of Thy care;
Thy Love doth all sustain.
3 If we have love for Thee in heaven,
'Tis seen by love on earth:
Love only, love which God hath given,
Doth prove our heavenly birth.
4 For all we know of God above,
And of His saints below,
And all we know of heaven, is Love,
And all we need to know.
5 Love is of life the only sign,
Love is our vital breath;
Love only shows the child divine,
Love only conquers death.
6 Whate'er we do, where'er we go,
Let love our sonship prove:
Our lives the first celestial show,
Our thoughts and words be love.
7 O deign to send the love of Thee
From highest heaven above;
For then our life Thy praise shall be,
When all our life is love.
8 With praise to Thee our strains began,
With love of Thee shall end;
The love of Thee, and love of man,
From heaven O deign to send!
Used With Tune: STOCKTON
How shall we show our love to Thee
