Jesus, our Lord, how rich Thy grace!
Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 190 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Lord, how rich Thy grace!
Thy bounties how complete!
How shall we count the matchless sum?
How pay the mighty debt?
2 High on a throne of radiant light
Dost Thou exalted shine;
What can our poverty bestow,
When all the worlds are Thine?
3 But Thou hast brethren here below,
The partners of Thy grace,
And wilt confess their humble names
Before Thy Father's face.
4 In them Thou mayst be clothed and fed,
And visited and cheered;
And in their accents of distress
Our Saviour's voice is heard.
5 Thy face, with reverence and with love,
We in Thy poor would see;
O may we minister to them,
And in them, Lord, to Thee. Used With Tune: TRESDALE

Is the root and source of life;

And the Spirit witness beareth,
As we in God’s peace do prove,
God is light and God is love.
2 Love doth crown the life eternal,

Therefore on His throne supernal
Jesus sits in glory bright;
He, the Light and Life of heaven,
Who Himself for us hath given,
Still abides and reigns above
In His Father’s boundless love.

Is the bond of perfectness,
Love, who came a victim willing,
Paid our debt and brought us peace;
Therefore love and peace in union
Ever grow in sweet communion,
That through love we may abide
One with Him who for us died. Used With Tune: [Love, the fount of light from heaven]

O Morning Star! how fair and bright
Author: Miss Winkworth; Philip Nicolai Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O Morning Star! how fair and bright
Thou beamest forth in truth and light!
O Sov'reign meek and lowly,
Thou Root of Jesse, David's Son,
My Lord and Bridegroom, thou hast won
My heart to serve Thee solely!
Holy art Thou,
Fair and glorious,
All victorious,
Rich in blessing,
Rule and might o'er all possessing.
2 Thou Heavenly Brightness! Light Divine!
O deep within my heart now shine,
And make Thee there an altar!
Fill me with joy and strength to be
Thy member, ever joined to Thee
In love that cannot falter;
Toward Thee longing
Doth possess me,
Turn and bless me,
For Thy gladness
Eye and heart here pine in sadness.
3 But if Thou look on me in love,
There straightway falls from God above
A ray of purest pleasure;
Thy Word and Spirit, Flesh and Blood,
Refresh my soul with heavenly food,
Thou art my hidden treasure;
Let Thy grace, Lord,
Warm and cheer
O draw near me;
Thou hast taught us
Thee to seek since Thou hast sought us!
4 Here will I rest, and hold it fast,
The Lord I love is First and Last,
The End as the Beginning!
Here I can calmly die, for Thou
Wilt raise me where Thou dwellest now,
Amen! Amen!
Come, Lord Jesus,
Soon release us,
With deep yearning,
Lord, we look for Thy returning. Used With Tune: WIE SCHÖN LEUCHT' UNS DER MORGENSTERN

And reign without a rival there.

Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away,
Where'er Thy healing beams arise:
O Jesus, nothing may I see,
Nothing desire or seek but Thee!

Dauntless to the high prize aspire;

Thy tender mercies me pursued.
Ever with me may they abide,
And close me in on every side.

How wondrous things Thy Love hath wrought!
Still lead me, lest I go astray;
Direct my work, inspire my thought;
And if I fall, soon may I hear
Thy voice, and know that Love is near.

In weakness be Thy love my power;
And when the storms of life shall cease,
Jesus, in that important hour,
In death as life be Thou my Guide,
And save me, who for me hast died! Used With Tune: MACHS MIT MIR GOTT NACH DEINER GÜT

The law of God is good and wise
Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise
And sets His will before our eyes,
Shows us the way of righteousness,
And dooms to death when we transgress.
2 Its light of holiness imparts
The knowledge of our sinful hearts
That we may see our lost estate
And seek deliv'rance ere too late.
3 To those who help in Christ have found
And would in works of love abound,
It shows what deeds are His delight
And should be done as good and right.
4 When men the offered help disdain
And dead in sin and woe remain;
Its terror in their ear resounds
And keeps their wickedness in bounds.
5 The law is good; but since the fall
Its holiness condemns us all:
It dooms us for our sin to die,
And has no power to justify.
6 To Jesus we for refuge flee,
Who from the curse has set us free,
And humbly worship at His throne,
Saved by His grace through faith alone. Used With Tune: RETREAT
The law of God is good and wise
Chief of sinners tho' I be
Author: William McComb Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth 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)
Chief of sinners tho' I be
Savior, teach me, day by day
Author: Jane E. Leeson Appears in 470 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Savior, teach me, day by day,
Love's sweet lesson to obey;
Sweeter lesson cannot be,
Loving Him who first loved me.
2 With a childlike heart of love,
At Thy bidding may I move;
Prompt to serve and follow Thee,
Loving Him Who first loved me.
3 Teach me all Thy steps to trace,
Strong to follow in Thy grace;
Learning how to love from Thee;
Loving Him who first loved me.
4 Love in loving finds employ,
In obedience all her joy;
Ever new that joy will be,
Loving Him who first loved me.
5 Thus may I rejoice to show
That I feel the love I owe;
Singing, till Thy face I see,
Of His love who first loved me.
Used With Tune: HORTON
Savior, teach me, day by day
