Sweeter sounds than music knows

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Church Book #222 (1890) Topics: Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Sweeter sounds than music knows, Charm me in Emmanuel's Name; All her hopes my spirit owes To His birth, and Cross, and shame. 2 When He came the angels sung, "Glory be to God on high:" Lord, unloose my stammering tongue; Who shall louder sing than I? 3 Did the Lord a man become, That He might the law fulfil, Bleed and suffer in my room, And canst thou, my tongue, be still? 4 No; I must my praises bring, Though they worthless are, and weak; For, should I refuse to sing, Sure the very stones would speak. 5 O my Saviour, Shield, and Sun, Shepherd, Brother, Lord, and Friend-- Every precious name in one! I will love Thee without end. Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 136TH PSALM

O Thou Essential Word

Author: Laurentius Laurenti; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #275 (1908) Topics: Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O Thou Essential Word, Who wast from the beginning With God, for Thou wast God; Thou hope of all the sinning, Sent down to save our race, Most welcome, Lord, Thou art, Redeemer, Fount of grace, To this my longing heart. 2 Come, self-existent Word, And speak Thou in my spirit! The soul where Thou art heard Doth endless peace inherit. Thou Light that lightenest all, Abide through faith in me, Nor let me from Thee fall, And seek no guide but Thee. 3 Ah! what hath stirred Thy heart, What cry hath mounted thither, And reached Thy heavenly throne, And drawn Thee, Savior, hither? It was Thy wondrous love, And my most utter need, Made Thy compassions move, Stronger than death indeed. 4 Then let me give my heart To Him who loved me, wholly; And live, while here I dwell, To show His praises solely: Yes, Jesus, form anew This stony heart of mine, Make it till death still true To Thee, forever Thine. 5 Let naught be left within But what Thy hand hath planted; Root out the weeds of sin, And quell the foe who haunted My soul, and sowed the tares; From Thee comes nothing ill, O save me from his snares, Make plain my pathway still. 6 Thou art the Life, O Lord, And Thou its Light art only! Let not Thy blessed rays Still leave me dark and lonely. Star of the East, arise! Drive all my clouds away, Till earth’s dim twilight dies Into the perfect day.

Lord, in Thy kingdom there shall be

The day is surely drawing near

Author: Bartholomäis Ringwalt; Rev. P. A. Peter Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #457 (1908) Topics: Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near, When God's Son, the Anointed, Will with great majesty appear, As Judge of all appointed. All mirth and laughter then shall cease, When flames on flames will still increase, As the Apostle teacheth. 2 A trumpet loud shall then resound And all the earth be shaken; Then all who in their graves are found Shall from their sleep awaken; But all that live shall in that hour, By the Almighty's boundless power, Be changed at His commanding. 3 A book is opened then to all-- A record truly telling What each hath done, both great and small, When he on earth was dwelling. And ev'ry heart be clearly seen, And all be known as they have been, In thoughts and words and actions. 4 Then woe to those who scorned the Lord, And sought but carnal pleasures, Who here despised His precious Word And loved their earthly treasures! With shame and trembling they will stand And at the Judge's stern command Must leave the Lord forever. 5 O may my name, dear Lord, be found, Free from all condemnation, For Thy death's sake, Thy pains and wounds, In Thy book of salvation. I will not doubt:--I trust in Thee;-- From Satan Thou have made me free, And from all condemnation. 6 Therefore my Intercessor be, And for Thy death and merit Declare my name from judgment free, With all who life inherit; That with my brethren I may stand With Thee in heaven, our fatherland, Which Thou for us hast purchased. 7 Lord Jesus Christ, do not delay, O hasten our salvation! We often tremble on our way In fear and tribulation. Then hear us when we cry to Thee; Come mighty Judge, come, make us free From ev'ry evil. Amen!

I could not do without Thee

Author: Frances R. Havergal Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #472 (1913) Topics: The Church Year Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 I could not do without Thee O Savior of the lost, Whose wondrous love redeemed me, At such tremendous cost; Thy righteousness, Thy pardon, Thy precious blood must be My only hope and comfort, My glory and my plea. 2 I could not do without Thee, I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own; But Thou, beloved Savior, Art all in all to me; And weakness will be power If leaning hard on Thee. 3 I could not do without Thee, For O the way is long, And I am often weary, And sigh replaces song: How could I do without Thee? I do not know the way; Thou knowest, and Thou leadest, And wilt not let me stray. 4 I could not do without Thee, O Jesus, Savior dear; E’en when my eyes are holden, I know that Thou art near. How dreary and how lonely This changeful life would be, Without the sweet communion, The secret rest with Thee! 5 I could not do without Thee, For years are fleeting fast, And soon in solemn loneliness The river must be passed; But Thou wilt never leave me, And though the waves roll high, I know Thou wilt be near me, And whisper, "It is I." Tune Title: [I could not do without Thee]

Thee will I love, beneath Thy frown Or smile, Thy scepter or Thy rod. What though my flesh and heart decay? Thee shall I love in endless day. Tune Title: [Thee will I love, my strength, my tower]
