Jesus, Lover of my soul

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 3,326 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer 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 defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in Thee I find: Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy Name; I am all unrighteousness: False and full of sin I am; thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my 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. Used With Tune: ST. EDMUND

Searcher of hearts, before Thy face

Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Searcher of hearts, before Thy face I all my soul display, And, conscious of its innate arts, Entreat Thy strict survey. 2 If, lurking in its inmost folds, I any sin conceal, O let a ray of light divine The secret guile reveal! 3 If in these fatal fetters bound A wretched slave I lie: Smite off my chains, and wake my soul To light and liberty! 4 To humble penitence and prayer Be gentle pity given; Speak ample pardon to my heart, And seal its claim to heaven.

Chief of sinners tho' I be

Author: William McComb Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Chief of sinners tho' I be, Jesus shed His blood for me; Died that I might live on high, Lived that I might never die. As the branch is to the vine, I am His and He is mine. 2 O the hight of Jesus' love! Higher than the heavens above, Deeper than the depths of sea, Lasting to eternity; Love that found me, wondrous thought! Found me when I sought Him not. 3 Jesus only can impart Balm to heal the smitten heart, Peace that flows from sin forgiven; Joy that lifts the soul to heaven; Faith and hope to walk with God In the way that Enoch trod. 4 Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me; All my wants to Him are known, All my sorrows are His own. Safe with Him from earthly strife He sustains the hidden life. 5 O my Savior! help afford, By Thy Spirit and Thy Word! When my wayward heart would stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Grace in time of need supply While I live and when I die. Used With Tune: DIX (Treuer Heiland, wir sind hier)

Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee

Author: Francis Scott Key Meter: 8.7 Appears in 281 hymnals Topics: Third 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

O du min Immanuel

Author: Brorson Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Twenty third Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 O du min Immanuel, Jesus! hvilken Himmel-Glæde Har du gjort min arme Sjæl Ved dit Blods den Purpur-Væde! Fienden tænkte, den var fast, Men hans træske Snare brast. 2 Jeg er i min Faders Skjød, Har hos Gud i Himlen hjemme, Der er Synd og der der Død Ikke mere at fornemme; Arven faar jeg vist og sandt, Har den Helligaand til Pant. 3 Gud ske Lov for Dag, der gaar! Gud ske Lov for Dag, der kommer! Dermed har vi Jubelaar, Og en evig, evig Sommer, Da det sidste Morgenskjær Er, Halleluja, os nær! 4 Op, min Sjæl, til Fryd og Sang, Flyde hellig Glædes Taare, Hver Blodsdraabe Takkerklang Give, til jeg er paa Baare; Dig, som for os Kalken drak, Jesus, Jesus, evig Tak!
