My God, I love Thee; not because

Author: Francis Xavier, d. 1552; Edward Caswall Appears in 213 hymnals Topics: Fourteenth 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.

As by one's sin fell all our kin

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 As by one's sin fell all our kin, Conceived and born sin-stained, So by One's grace, who took the place Of all, are all regained. 2 The blood-red tide from Christ's cleft side, Shed for the good of all, Is laver pure to cleanse and cure All lost in Adam's fall. 3 Of it are born, though one forlorn, The saints in Him baptized, Its life receive all who believe That Jesus is the Christ. 4 His righteousness is crown and dress Of those who own Him Lord, Who, sin-oppressed, find in Him rest, And keep His faithful Word. 5 To God be praise through endless days, In whom we live and move, God—Father, Son, and Spirit—One, The Triune God of Love!

As after the water-brooks panteth

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.9.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 As after the water-brooks panteth The hart, when it sinks in the chase, So thirsteth my soul, as it fainteth, For Thee, O my God, and thy grace; For Thou art the fount everliving, Who unto the thirsty art giving The water of life that I need. 2 By day and by night in her anguish My soul is lamenting in woe: O Lord, in my grief I must languish, No counsel, no help do I know; When shall I Thy mercy awaken? When shall I, the poor and forsaken, Before Thee appear, O my God? 3 Great fears now my bosom are rending, For near the abyss I am brought, My way on the brink I am wending, My journey with peril is fraught; I faint, I see terrors appalling, And into the deep I am falling- O hearken, O Lord, to my cries! 4 Thou, Thou art my rock of salvation, My house I have built upon Thee; O if Thou shouldst fail as foundation, My ruin it surely would be; Lord, deep unto deep now is calling, Thy waves and Thy billows appalling Arise to go over my soul. 6 When others sing anthems of gladness, And offer thanksgiving and praise, I sit in the gloom of my sadness And hear not the anthems they raise; My song is the voice of my sighing, The festal days pass in my crying-- I languish in grief and in woe. 6 Why art thou disquiet within me? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? Confide in thy God, let Him win thee! Still hope in thy God, Him extol! For surely once dawneth a morrow, When, freed from thy care and thy sorrow, Thou praises shalt sing to thy God. 7 His light and His truth, they shall lead me In peace to His temple at last; I rest on His word, He will speed me, And conflict and sorrow are past; Yea, joyful I anthems will raise Him, With heart and with voice will I praise Him-- My health and my life and my God.

And me, by many a sin opprest, Restore, and keep me whole! 4 I know not how to praise Thy mercy and Thy love; But deign Thy servant to upraise, And I shall learn above. Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

Deluded souls, that dream of heav'n

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 184 hymnals Topics: Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Deluded souls, that dream of heav'n, And make their empty boast Of inward joys, and sins forgiv'n, While they are slaves to lust! 2 Vain are our fancies, airy flights, If faith be cold and dead; None but a living power unites To Christ, the living Head: 3 A faith that changes all the heart; A faith that works by love; That bids all sinful joys depart, And lifts the thoughts above. 4 Faith must obey her Father’s will, As well as trust His grace: A pard'ning God requires us still To perfect holiness.

Lamb of God! we fall before Thee

Author: Joseph Hart Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before Thee, Humbly trusting in Thy cross; That alone be all our glory, All things else are only dross. 2 Thee we own a perfect Savior, Only source of all that’s good. Ev'ry grace and ev'ry favor Comes to us through Jesus’ blood. 3 Jesus gives us true repentance, By His Spirit sent from heav’n; Whispers this transporting sentence: "Son thy sins are all forgiven." 4 Faith He grants us to believe it, Grateful hearts His love to prize; Want we wisdom? He must give it; Hearing ears, and seeing eyes. 5 Jesus gives us pure affections, Wills to do what He requires: Makes us follow His directions, And what He commands, inspires. 6 All our prayers, and all our praises, Rightly offered in His name,— He that dictates them is Jesus; He that answers is the same.

And shall we still be slaves

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 And shall we still be slaves, And in our fetters lie, When summoned by a voice divine T'assert our liberty? 2 Did Christ the Saviour bleed, Our freedom to obtain? And shall we trample on His blood, And glory in our chain? 3 Shall we go on to sin, Because His grace abounds; Or crucify the Lord again, And open all His wounds? 4 Forbid it, mighty God! Nor let it e'er be said That those, for whom Thy Son has died, In vice are lost and dead. Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS
