Come, O Creator, Sprit blest!
Author: Rabanus Maurus; Edward Caswall Appears in 284 hymnals Topics: Tenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Come, O Creator, Spirit blest!
And in our souls take up Thy rest;
Come, with Thy grace and heavenly aid,
To fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
2 Kindle our senses from above,
And make our hearts o'erflow with love;
With patience firm and virtue high,
The weakness of our flesh supply.
3 Far from us drive the foe we dread,
And grant us Thy true peace instead;
So shall we not, with Thee for guide,
Turn from the path of life aside. Used With Tune: OLIVE'S BROW
Come, O Creator, Sprit blest!
Holy Ghost, dispel our sadness
Author: John Christian Jacobi; Augustus Montague Toplady; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 8.7 Appears in 195 hymnals Topics: Tenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Holy Ghost, dispel our sadness,
Pierce the clouds of sinful night;
Come, Thou Source of sweetest gladness,
Breathe Thy life, and spread Thy light!
Come, Thou best of all donations
God can give, or we implore!
Having Thy sweet consolations,
We need wish for nothing more.
2 From that height which knows no measure,
As a gracious shower descend,
Bringing down the richest treasure
Man can wish, or God can send.
Author of the new creation!
Come with unction and with power;
Make our hearts Thy habitation;
On our souls Thy graces shower.
3 Manifest Thy Love for ever;
Fence us in on every side;
In distress be our reliever;
Guard and teach, support and guide.
Hear, oh hear our supplication,
Loving Spirit, God of peace!
Rest upon this congregation,
With the fulness of Thy grace. Used With Tune: SCHMÜCKE DICH, O LIEBE SEELE
Holy Ghost, dispel our sadness
Thine honor rescue, righteous Lord!
Author: Johann Heermann; Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Tenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Thine honor rescue, righteous Lord!
Hear Zion’s sighs and help afford;
Destroy the wiles of potent foes,
Who now Thy Word and truth oppose.
2 Their craft and vaunting pomp are great;
High beat their hearts, with power elate;
Our dearest hopes they but deride,
And deem us nothing in their pride.
3 Forgive, O Lord! our sins forgive,
Show us Thy face and let us live:
Convince Thy foes throughout the land
That godless counsels shall not stand.
4 Preserve Thy little flock in peace,
Nor let Thy boundless mercy cease;
Let it to all the world appear
Thy holy Church indeed is here.
5 That Thou art with us, loud proclaim
Who put'st each enemy to shame;
Dost all their haughtiness suppress,
And help Thine own in their distress. Used With Tune: HEBRON
Thine honor rescue, righteous Lord!

Within our hearts implant thy Love,
And fix Thy dwelling-place.
4 To lowly minds revealed,

O Lord, who hast my place assigned

And made my duties plain,
Grant for my work a ready mind,
My wayward tho'ts restrain.

My daily task pursue:
Thy glory be my only aim
In all I think and do.

In all my calling be,
And let me as Thy servant still
Be faithful found to Thee.
4 Thy goodness all my life has crowned,

O Lord, who hast my place assigned
I love Thy Zion, Lord
Author: Timothy Dwight Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Tenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 I love Thy Zion, Lord!
The house of Thine abode;
The Church, O blest Redeemer, sav'd
By Thine own precious blood.
2 I love Thy Church, O God!
Her walls before Thee stand,
Dear as the apple of Thine eye,
And graven on Thy hand.
3 Should I with scoffers join
Her alters to abuse?
No! better far my tongue were dumb,
My hand its skill should lose.
4 Oh! ne'er may I forget
Her welfare nor her woe;
Lest ev'ry joy my heart forsake,
And ev'ry grief o'erflow.
5 For her my tears shall fall;
For her my prayers ascend;
To her my cares and toils be given,
Till toils and cares shall end.
6 Beyond my highest joy
I prize her heav'nly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise. Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM (Aswarby)
I love Thy Zion, Lord
O Christ, our true and only Light
Author: John Heermann; Miss Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 96 hymnals Topics: Tenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light,
Illumine those who sit in night;
Let those afar now hear Thy voice,
And in Thy fold with us rejoice.
2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace
The souls now lost in error's maze,
And all, O Lord, whose secret minds,
Some dark delusion hurts and blinds.
3 And all who else have strayed from Thee,
O gently seek! Thy healing be
To every wounded conscience given,
And let them also share Thy heaven.
4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word,
And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord,
Who dare not yet the faith avow,
Though secretly they hold it now.
5 Shine on the darkened and the cold,
Recall the wanderers to Thy fold,
Unite those now who walk apart,
Confirm the weak and doubting heart.
6 So they with us may evermore
Such grace with wondering thanks adore,
And endless praise to Thee be given,
By all Thy Church in earth and heaven. Used With Tune: HERR JESU CHRIST, MEIN'S LEBENS LICHT
O Christ, our true and only Light
O how shall I receive Thee
Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6 Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Tenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O how shall I receive Thee,
How greet Thee, Lord, aright?
All nations long to see Thee,
My hope, my heart's delight!
O kindle, Lord, most holy,
Thy lamp within my breast,
To do in spirit lowly
All that may please Thee best.
2 Thy Zion palms is strewing,
And branches fresh and fair;
My heart, its powers renewing,
An anthem shall prepare.
My soul puts off her sadness
Thy glories to proclaim;
With all her strength and gladness
She fain would serve Thy Name.
3 I lay in fetters groaning,
Thou comest to set me free!
I stood, my shame bemoaning,
Thou comest to honor me!
A glory Thou dost give me,
A treasure safe on high,
That will not fail nor leave me
As earthly riches fly.
4 Love caused Thy incarnation,
Love brought Thee down to me.
Thy thirst for my salvation
Procured my liberty.
O Love beyond all telling,
That led Thee to embrace,
In love all love excelling,
Our lost and fallen race!
5 Rejoice then, ye sad-hearted,
Who sit in deepest gloom,
Who mourn o'er joys departed,
And tremble at your doom:
He who alone can cheer you,
Is standing at the door;
He brings His pity near you,
And bids you weep no more. Used With Tune: WIE SOLL ICH DICH EMPFANGEN Text Sources: Seaton's Leeds Church H. B., Tr. 1859
O how shall I receive Thee
O very God of very God
Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Tenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O very God of very God,
And very Light of Light,
Whose feet this earth's dark valley trod,
That so it might be bright:
2 Our hopes are weak, our fears are strong,
Thick darkness binds our eyes;
Cold is the night, and oh, we long
That Thou, our Sun, wouldst rise!
3 And even now, though dull and gray,
The east is brightening fast,
And kindling to the perfect Day
That never shall be past.
4 O guide us till our path be done,
And we have reached the shore
Where Thou, our everlasting Sun,
Art shining evermore!
5 We wait in faith, and turn our face
To where the daylight springs,
Till Thou shalt come our gloom to chase,
With healing on Thy wings.
6 To God the Father, power and might
Both now and ever be;
To Him that is the Light of Light,
And, Holy Ghost, to Thee. Used With Tune: ATHENS

In all our darkness on us shine,
And fill us with Thy grace divine.
2 The only Comforter Thou art;
O come and dwell within each heart,
And give us power from above
To keep the blessèd law of love.
3 Enlighten every darkened heart,
And faith and hope to each impart;
What else we need Thou well dost know,
This let Thy love and grace bestow.
4 In Thy blest gifts on us outpoured,
Thou art the right hand of the Lord;
The Word of Truth Thou sendest forth
In tongues of fire to all the earth.
5 Defend us from our wily foe,
Upon us now Thy peace bestow;
Keep us securely all our days
In Thy blest covenant of grace.
6 Show us the Father's love and care,
And of the Son Thy witness bear;
To both Thou showeth us the way,
Spirit of both, adored for aye.
7 To God the Father, God the Son,
For precious gifts be honor done;
And for the Spirit's gracious power
Be praise and glory evermore.
Amen.
