Lord of glory, Thou hast bought us
Author: Eliza S. Alderson Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #449 (1913) Topics: The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Lord of glory, Thou hast bought us
With Thy life-blood as the price,
Never grudging for the lost ones
That tremendous sacrifice,
And with that hast freely given
Blessings countless as the sand,
To th'unthankful and the evil
With Thine own unsparing hand.
2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord, to yield Thee,
Gladly, freely of Thine own;
With the sunshine of Thy goodness
Melt our thankless hearts of stone;
Till our cold and selfish natures,
Warmed by Thee, at length believe
That more happy and more blessed
'Tis to give than to receive.
3 Wondrous honor hast Thou given
To our humblest charity
In Thine own mysterious sentence,
"Ye have done it unto Me."
Can it be, O gracious Master,
Thou dost deign for alms to sue,
Saying, by Thy poor and needy,
"Give as I have given to you?"
4 Lord of glory, who hast bought us
With Thy life-blood as the price,
Never grudging for the lost ones
That tremendous sacrifice.
Give us faith, to trust Thee boldly,
Hope, to stay our souls on Thee;
But, O best of all Thy graces,
Give us Thine own charity. Tune Title: [Lord of glory, Thou hast bought us]
Lord of glory, Thou hast bought us
O God of mercy, God of might
Author: G. Thring Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #450 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.6 Topics: The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O God of mercy, God of might,
In love and pity infinite,
Teach us, as ever in Thy sight,
To live our life to Thee.
2 And Thou who cam'st on earth to die,
That fallen man might live thereby,
O hear us, for to Thee we cry;
In hope, O Lord, to Thee.
3 Teach us the lesson Thou hast taught,
To feel for those Thy blood hath bought,
That every word, and deed, and thought,
May work a work for Thee.
4 For all are brethren, far and wide,
Since Thou, O Lord, for all hast died;
Then teach us, whatsoe'er betide,
To love them all in Thee.
5 In sickness, sorrow, want or care,
Whate'er it be, 'tis ours to share;
May we, when help is needed, there
Give help as unto Thee.
6 And may Thy Holy Spirit move
All those who live, to live in love,
Till Thou shalt greet in heaven above
All those who live to Thee. Tune Title: [O God of mercy, God of might]
O God of mercy, God of might
Come, brethren, let us hasten on!
Author: G. Tersteegen Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #451 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6.6.7.6 Topics: The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Come, brethren, let us hasten on!
The evening closeth round,
'Tis perilous to linger here
On this wild desert ground.
Come, toward eternity,
Press on from strength to strength,
Nor dread your journey's toil and length,
For good its end shall be.
2 We shall not sue our final choice,
Though straight our path and steep;
We know that He who called us here,
His word shall ever keep.
Then follow, trusting, come,
And let each set his face
Toward yonder fair and blessed place,
Intent to reach our home.
3 Come, children, let us unward go!
We travel hand in hand;
Each in his brother find his joy
In this wild stranger land.
As children let us be,
Nor by the way fall out,
The angels guard us round about,
And help us brotherly.
4 Let all the strong be quick to raise
The weaker when they fall;
Let love and peace and patience bloom
In ready help for all.
In love yet closer bound,
Each would be least, yet still
On love's fair path most pure from ill,
Most loving would be found.
5 Come, brothers, wander on with joy,
For shorter grows the way,
The hour that frees us from the flesh
Draws nearer day by day.
A little truth and love,
A little courage yet,
More free from earth, more apt to set
Your hopes on things above.
6 It will not last for very long,
A little farther roam;
It will not last much longer now
Ere we shall reach our home;
There shall we ever rest,
There with our Father dwell,
With all the saints who served Him well,
There truly, deeply blest.
7 Friend of our dear and perfect choice,
Thou joy of all that live,
Being that know'st not chance or change,
What courage dost thou give!
All beauty, Lord, we see,
All bliss and life and love,
In Him in whom we live and move,
And we are glad in Thee. Tune Title: [Come, brethren, let us hasten on!]
Come, brethren, let us hasten on!
Who givest all
Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #452 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Topics: The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity First Line: O Lord of heaven and earth and sea Lyrics: 1 O Lord of heaven and earth and sea,
To Thee all praise and glory be;
How shall we show our love to Thee,
Who givest all?
2 The golden sunshine, vernal air,
Sweet flowers and fruit, Thy love declare;
Where harvests ripen, Thou art there,
Who givest all.
3 For peaceful homes, and healthful days,
For all the blessings earth displays,
We owe Thee thankfulness and praise,
Who givest all.
4 Thou didst not spare Thine only Son,
But gav'st Him for a world undone,
And freely with that blessed One
Thou givest all.
5 Thou giv'st the Spirit's holy dower,
Spirit of life, and love, and power,
And dost His sevenfold graces shower
Upon us all.
6 For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven,
For means of grace and hopes of heaven,
What can to Thee, O Lord, be given,
Who givest all?
7 We lose what on ourselves we spend,
We have, as treasure without end
Whatever, Lord, to Thee we lend,
Who givest all.
8 Whatever Lord, we lend to Thee,
Repaid a thousand fold will be;
Then gladly will we give to Thee
Who givest all,--
9 To Thee, from whom we all derive,
Our life, our gifts, our power to give;
O may we ever with Thee live,
Who givest all! Tune Title: [O Lord of heaven and earth and sea]
Who givest all
Jesus, our Lord, how rich Thy grace!
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: Church Book #475 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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. Languages: English Tune Title: TRESDALE
Jesus, our Lord, how rich Thy grace!
Father of our feeble race
Author: John Taylor Hymnal: Church Book #476 (1890) Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Father of our feeble race,
Wise, beneficent, and kind!
Spread o'er nature's ample face,
Flows Thy goodness unconfined.
2 Lord, what offerings shall we bring,
At Thine altars when we bow?
Grateful loving hearts, the spring
Whence the kind affections flow:
3 Willing hands to lead the blind,
Bind the wounded, feed the poor;
Love, embracing all our kind;
Charity, with liberal store.
4 Teach us, O Thou heavenly King,
Thus to show our grateful mind;
Thus the accepted offering bring,
Love to Thee and all mankind. Languages: English Tune Title: PLEYEL
Father of our feeble race
We give Thee but Thine own
Author: William Walsham How Hymnal: Church Book #477 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 We give Thee but Thine own,
Whate'er the gift may be:
All that we have is Thine alone,
A trust, O Lord, from Thee.
2 May we Thy bounties thus
As stewards true receive,
And gladly, as Thou blessest us,
To Thee our first fruits give.
3 O hearts are bruised and dead,
And homes are bare and cold,
And lambs, for whom the Shepherd bled,
Are straying from the fold!
4 To comfort and to bless,
To find a balm for woe,
To tend the lone and fatherless
Is angels' work below.
5 The captive to release,
The lost to God to bring,
To teach the way of life and peace,--
It is a Christ-like thing.
6 And we believe Thy Word,
Though dim our faith may be;
Whate'er we do for Thine, O Lord,
We do it unto Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: POTSDAM
We give Thee but Thine own
How shall we show our love to Thee
Author: Isaac Williams Hymnal: Church Book #478 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 How shall we show our love to Thee,
Thou living God most high,
But loving this Thy family,
For which Thou deignedst to die?
2 If Thou for me such Love didst bear,
Shall I not love again?
For all are objects of Thy care;
Thy Love doth all sustain.
3 If we have love for Thee in heaven,
'Tis seen by love on earth:
Love only, love which God hath given,
Doth prove our heavenly birth.
4 For all we know of God above,
And of His saints below,
And all we know of heaven, is Love,
And all we need to know.
5 Love is of life the only sign,
Love is our vital breath;
Love only shows the child divine,
Love only conquers death.
6 Whate'er we do, where'er we go,
Let love our sonship prove:
Our lives the first celestial show,
Our thoughts and words be love.
7 O deign to send the love of Thee
From highest heaven above;
For then our life Thy praise shall be,
When all our life is love.
8 With praise to Thee our strains began,
With love of Thee shall end;
The love of Thee, and love of man,
From heaven O deign to send!
Languages: English Tune Title: STOCKTON
How shall we show our love to Thee
Thy ceaseless, unexhausted Love
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: Church Book #77 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Thy ceaseless, unexhausted Love,
Unmerited and free,
Delights our evil to remove,
And help our misery.
2 Thou waitest to be gracious still;
Thou dost with sinners bear;
That, saved, we may Thy goodness feel,
And all Thy grace declare.
3 Thy goodness and Thy truth, to me,
To every soul abound;
A vast unfathomable sea,
Where all our thoughts are drowned.
4 Its streams the whole creation reach,
So plenteous is the store;
Enough for all, enough for each,
Enough for evermore.
5 Faithful, O Lord, Thy mercies are,
A rock that cannot move:
A thousand promises declare
Thy constancy of love.
6 Throughout the universe it reigns,
Unalterably sure;
And, while the truth of God remains,
His goodness must endure. Languages: English Tune Title: STOCKTON
Thy ceaseless, unexhausted Love
To us salvation now has come
Author: Paul Speratus, D. D.; Dr. Henry Mills Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #249 (1908) Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 To us salvation now has come,
God's wondrous grace revealing;
Works never can avert our doom,
They have no power of healing.
Faith looks to God's beloved Son,
Who has for us deliv'rance won,
He is our great Redeemer!
2 What God's most holy precept claims
No child of Adam renders;
But from the throne dread vengeance flames,
And speaks the curse in thunders.
The flesh ne'er prompts those pure desires
That 'bove all else the Law requires:
Relief by Law is hopeless!
3 But all the Law must be fulfilled,
Or we must sink despairing;
Then came the Son—-so God had willed,--
Our human nature sharing,
Who for us all the Law obeyed,
And thus His Father's vengeance stayed,
Which over us impended.
4 Now to the God of matchless grace,
To Father, Son, and Spirit,
We lift our highest songs of praise,
All praise His favors merit.
All He has said He will perform,
And save us by His mighty arm, --
His worthy name be hallowed! Languages: English; Latin Tune Title: LUTHER'S HYMN
To us salvation now has come
