Out of the depths I cry to Thee

Author: Martin Luther; Miss Winkworth Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Twelfth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths I cry to Thee, Lord, hear me, I implore Thee! Bend down Thy gracious ear to me, Let my prayer come before Thee! If Thou remember each misdeed, If each should have its rightful meed, Who may abide Thy presence? 2 Our pardon is Thy gift; Thy Love And grace alone avail us. Our works could ne'er our guilt remove, The strictest life must fail us. That none may boast himself of aught, But own in fear Thy grace hath wrought What in him seemeth righteous. 3 And thus my hope is in the Lord, And not in mine own merit; I rest upon His faithful word To them of contrite spirit. That He is merciful and just,-- Here is my comfort and my trust, His help I wait with patience. 4 And though it tarry till the night, And round till morning waken, My heart shall ne'er mistrust Thy might, Nor count itself forsaken. Do thus, O ye of Israel's seed, Ye of the Spirit born indeed, Wait for your God's appearing. 5 Though great our sins and sore our woes, His grace much more aboundeth; His helping love no limit knows, Our utmost need it soundeth. Our kind and faithful Shepherd, He, Who shall at last set Israel free From all their sin and sorrow. Scripture: Psalm 130 Used With Tune: AUS TIEFER NOTH SCHREI ICH ZU DIR

Thou, who camest from above

Author: John Mason Neale Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Twelfth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Thou, who camest from above, Bringing light, and shedding love, Teaching Thine all-perfect way, Giving gifts to men to-day: 2 Thou who changest our lost state, Making us regenerate, Help us evermore to be Faithful subjects unto Thee. 3 Where Thou art not, none can do What is holy, just and true; Those whose hearts Thy wisdom leads Think good thoughts and do good deeds. 4 We have often grieved Thee sore; Never let us grieve Thee more. Thou the feeble canst protect, Thou the wandering canst direct. 5 We are dark--be Thou our Light; We are blind--be Thou our Sight. Be our Comfort in distress, Guide us through the wilderness. 6 To the blessed Three in One, To the Father, and the Son, And the Holy Ghost, arise Praise from all below the skies.

The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 4 He rules on high, His throne shall never Like earthy empires pass away, His kingdom stands and grows forever, Till all creation owns His sway. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 5 He is the fairest--all excelling-- He whom the world refused to know, His riches are beyond all telling, And these He doth on me bestow. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 6 Now let me be despised, forsaken, And in a humble state remain, Soon I to glory shall be taken, And with my Savior ever reign. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. Used With Tune: [Begone! vain world, with all thy pleasures]

A Wretched man, both dumb and deaf

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Twelfth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 A Wretched man, both dumb and deaf, Brought to our Lord to get relief; Was made to know the Saviour's pow'r, When he receiv'd immediate cure. 2 The Saviour us'd but simple means, Such as the haughty world disdains; When he first took him from the throng, To make him hear and loose his tongue. 3 The cure the Saviour on him wrought, Was not as carnal reason taught; To cure this man the Saviour made, No boast or shew, or great parade. 4 His Ephphatha, his sigh and look, Through all the pow'rs of darkness broke; It burst, and loosed Satan's chain, The man could hear and speak again. 5 Are we not also deaf and dumb, And wretched creatures from the womb; We cannot speak the Saviour's praise, Until we feel his work of grace. 6 When we are taken from the crowd, And with his light and grace endow'd; Then by experience we shall know, Jesus, that great Physician too. 7 Then of his wonders we can tell, And testify that all is well; The pow'r of Jesus does appear, The dumb they speak, the deaf they hear. Scripture: Mark 7:31-37

How many a song my lips should raise Thee, Who order'st all things here aright! My thankful heart would ever be Telling what God hath done for me. 2 O all ye powers that He implanted, Arise, keep silence thus no more, Put forth the strength that He hath granted, Your noblest work is to adore; O soul and body, make ye meet With heartfelt praise your Lord to greet. 3 Ye forest leaves so green and tender, That dance for joy in summer air; Ye meadow-grasses bright and slender, Ye flowers so wondrous sweet and fair; Ye live to show His praise alone, Help me to make His glory known. 4 O all things that have breath and motion; That throng with life, earth, sea, and sky, Now join me in my heart's devotion, Help me to raise His praises high. My utmost powers can ne'er aright Declare the wonders of His might. 5 But I will tell, while I am living, His goodness forth with every breath, And greet each morning with thanksgiving, Until my heart is still in death. Nay, when at last my lips grow cold, His praise shall in my sighs be told. O Father, deign Thou, I beseech Thee, To listen to my earthly lays; A nobler strain in heaven shall reach Thee, When I with angels hymn Thy praise, And learn amid their choirs to sing Loud Hallelujahs to my King.

Fully, through Thee, absolved I am From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 4 This spotless robe the same appears When ruined nature sinks in years; No age can change its glorious hue, The robe of Christ is ever new. 5 And when the dead shall hear Thy voice, Thy banished children shall rejoice; Their beauty this, their glorious dress, Jesus, the Lord our righteousness.

Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee

Author: Francis Scott Key Meter: 8.7 Appears in 280 hymnals Topics: Twelfth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee For the bliss Thy love bestows, For the pardoning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows. Help, O God, my weak endeavor; This dull soul to rapture raise: Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise. 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, Wretched wanderer, far astray; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away. Praise, with love's devoutest feeling, Him who saw Thy guilt-born fear, And the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stained Cross appear. 3 Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express: Low before Thy footstool kneeling, Deign Thy suppliant's prayer to bless. Let thy grace, my soul's chief treasure, Love's pure flame within me raise: And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth Thy praise. Used With Tune: ADORATION

One there is above all others

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.7 Appears in 689 hymnals Topics: Twelfth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend. His is love beyond a brother's, Costly, free, and knows no end. They who once His kindness prove, Find it everlasting Love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed his blood? But this Saviour died to have us Reconciled in Him to God: This was boundless Love indeed: Jesus is a Friend in need. 3 When He lived on earth abaséd, Friend of sinners was His name, Now, above all glory raiséd, He rejoices in the same: Still He calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 O for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love, We, alas! forget too often What a Friend we have above: But when home our souls are brought, We will love Thee as we ought.

A pure temple I would be, Wholly dedicate to Thee. Used With Tune: GAUNTLETT
