Once He came in blessing

Author: Michael Weiss; Miss Winkworth Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Tenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Once He came in blessing, All our sins redressing, Came in likeness lowly, Son of God most holy; Bore the Cross to save us, Hope and freedom gave us. 2 Still He comes within us, Still His voice would win us From the sins that hurt us; Would to Truth convert us From our foolish errors, Ere He come in terrors. 3 Thus if thou hast known Him, Not ashamed to own Him, Nor dost love Him coldly, But wilt trust Him boldly, He will not receive thee, Heal thee, and forgive thee. 4 He who well endureth, Bright reward secureth; Come, then, O Lord Jesus, From our sins release us; Let us here confess Thee, Till in heaven we bless Thee.

O enter, Lord, Thy temple

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Miss Winkworth Meter: 7.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Tenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O enter, Lord, Thy temple, Be Thou my spirit's Guest, Who at my birth didst give me A second birth more blest. Though here to dwell Thou deignest, Thou in the Godhead, Lord, For ever equal reignest, Art equally adored. 2 O enter, let me know Thee, And feel Thy power within, The power that breaks our fetters, And rescues us from sin. That I may serve Thee truly, O wash and cleanse Thou me, To render honor duly With perfect heart to Thee. 3 'Tis Thou, O Spirit, teachest The soul to pray aright; Thy songs have sweetest music, Thy prayers have wondrous might. They pierce the highest heaven Unheard they cannot fall, Till He His help hath given Who surely helpeth all. 4 The whole wide world, O Spirit, Upon Thy hands doth rest; Our wayward hearts Thou turnest As it may seem Thee best. As Thou hast done so often, Once more Thy power make known, Convert the wicked, soften To tears the heart of stone. 5 Order our path in all things According to Thy mind, And when this life is over, And all must be resigned, With calm and fearless spirit O grant us then to die, And after death inherit Eternal life on high.

Come, O come, Thou quickening Spirit

Author: Charles William Schaeffer; Joachim Neander, d. 1680 Meter: 8.7.7 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Tenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Come, O come, Thou quickening Spirit, Thou for ever art divine: Let Thy power never fail me, Always fill this heart of mine; Thus shall grace, and truth, and light Dissipate the gloom of night. 2 Grant my mind and my affections Wisdom, counsel, purity; That I may be ever seeking Naught but that which pleases Thee. Let Thy knowledge spread and grow, Working error's overthrow. 3 Lead me to green pastures, lead me By the true and living way, Shield me from each strong temptation That might draw my heart astray; And if e'er my feet should turn, For each error let me mourn. 4 Holy Spirit, strong and mighty, Thou who makest all things new, Make Thy work within me perfect. Help me by Thy Word so true, Arm me with that Sword of Thine, And the victory shall be mine. 5 In the faith O make me steadfast; Let not Satan, death or shame Of my confidence deprive me; Lord, my refuge is Thy Name. When the flesh inclines to ill, Be Thy Word prove stronger still. 6 And when my last hour approaches, Let my hopes grow yet more bright. (Since am an heir of heaven,) In Thy glorious courts of light, Fairer far than voice can tell, There, redeemed by Christ, to dwell. Used With Tune: KOMM, O KOMM, DU GEIST DES LEBENS

Jesus, whom Thy Church doth own

Author: Gerhard Terstegen; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Tenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jesus, whom Thy Church doth own As her Head and King alone, Bless me Thy poor member too; And Thy Spirit's influence give That to Thee henceforth I live, Daily Thou my strength renew. 2 Let Thy living Spirit flow Through Thy members all below, With its warmth and power divine; Scatter'd far apart they dwell, Yet in every land, full well, Lord, Thou knowest who is Thine. 3 Those who serve Thee I would serve, Never from their union swerve, Here I cry before Thy face-- Zion, God give thee good speed, Christ thy footsteps ever lead, Make thee steadfast in His ways.
