Love divine, all love excelling
Author: C. Wesley Appears in 1,895 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all love excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth come down!
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,
All thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart!
2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving spirit
Into every troubled breast!
Let us all in Thee inherit,
Let us find Thy promised rest.
Take away the love of sinning,
Alpha and Omega be;
End of faith, as its beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.
3 Come, Almighty, to deliver,
Let us all Thy life receive;
Graciously return, and never,
Never more Thy temples leave!
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray and praise Thee without ceasing,
Glory in Thy precious love.
4 Finish then Thy new creation,
Pure and spotless let us be;
Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee!
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Used With Tune: RIPLEY
Love divine, all love excelling
Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness
Author: Nicholas Louis, Count Zinzendorf; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 503 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
2 Bold shall I stand in Thy great Day,
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully through these absolved I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
3 This spotless robe the same appears,
When ruined nature sinks in years:
No age can change its constant hue;
Thy Blood preserves it ever new.
4 O let the dead now hear Thy voice;
Now bid Thy banished ones rejoice!
Their beauty this, their glorious dress,
Jesus, thy Blood and Righteousness!
5 When from the dust of death I rise,
To claim my mansion in the skies,
Even then this shall be all my plea,
"Jesus hath lived and died for me." Used With Tune: HERR JESU CHRIST MEIN'S LEBENES LICHT
Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness
Lord, Thine image Thou hast lent me

In Thy never-fading Love;
I was fallen: but Thou hast sent me
Full Redemption from above.
Sacred Love, I long to be
Thine to all eternity!
2 Love, Thou hast for me enduréd
All the pains of death and hell;
Nay, Thy sufferings have procuréd
More for me than tongue can tell:
Love almighty and divine,
I would be for ever Thine!
3 Love, my Life, and my Salvation,
Light and Truth, eternal Word!
Thou alone dost consolation
To my sinking soul afford.
Sacred Love, I long to be
Thine to all eternity!
4 Love in mercy, Thou wilt raise me
From the grave of sin and dust;
Love, I shall for ever praise Thee,
When in heaven among the just;
Love almighty and divine,
May I be for ever Thine! Used With Tune: LIEBE DIE DU MICH ZUM BILDE
Lord, Thine image Thou hast lent me
To us salvation now has come
Author: Paul Speratus, D. D.; Dr. Henry Mills Appears in 11 hymnals 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! Used With Tune: LUTHER'S HYMN
To us salvation now has come
Thou hidden Love of God, whose height
Author: John Wesley; Paul Gerhardt; Gerhard Tersteegen Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 266 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden Love of God, whose height,
Whose depth unfathomed no man knows:
I see from far Thy beauteous light;
Inly I sigh for Thy repose.
My heart is pained, nor can it be
At rest, till it finds rest in Thee.
2 Is there a thing beneath the sun,
That strives with Thee my heart to share?
Ah tear it thence, and reign alone,
The Lord of every motion there;
Then shall my heart from earth be free,
When it hath found repose in Thee.
3 Each moment draw from earth away,
My heart, that lowly waits Thy call;
Speak to my inmost soul, and say,
"I am Thy Love, Thy God, Thy All!"
To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice,
To taste Thy Love, be all my choice. Used With Tune: LAMBERT
Thou hidden Love of God, whose height
Thee will I love, my Strength, my Tower
Author: John Scheffler; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 166 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Thee will I love, my Strength, my Tower,
Thee will I love, my Joy, my Crown;
Thee will I love with all my power,
In all my works, and Thee alone:
Thee will I love, till the pure fire
Fill my whole soul with chaste desire.
2 I thank Thee, uncreated Sun,
That Thy bright beams on me have shined;
I thank Thee, who hast overthrown
My foes, and healed my wounded mind;
I thank Thee, whose enlivening voice
Bids my freed heart in Thee rejoice.
3 Uphold me in the doubtful race,
Nor suffer me again to stray;
Strengthen my feet, with steady pace
Still to press forward in Thy way;
That all my powers, with all their might,
In Thy sole glory may unite.
4 Thee will I love, my Joy, my Crown;
Thee will I love, my Lord, my God!
Thee will I love, beneath Thy frown
Or smile, Thy sceptre or Thy rod.
What though my flesh and heart decay?
Thee shall I love in endless day. Used With Tune: ICH WILL DICH LIEBEN
Thee will I love, my Strength, my Tower
My hope is built on nothing less
Author: Edward Mote Appears in 1,110 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness:
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
3 His oath, His covenant, and blood,
Support me in the sinking flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
4 When shall I launch to worlds unseen,
O may I then be found in Him,
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand. Used With Tune: CONFIDENCE
My hope is built on nothing less
Father, though I have sinned with Thee
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Father, though I have sinned with Thee
An Advocate I have:
Jesus the Just shall plead for me,
The sinner Christ shall save.
2 Pardon and peace in Him I find;
But not for me alone:
The Lamb was slain: for all mankind
His Blood did once atone.
3 My soul is on Thy promise cast,
And lo! I claim my part:
The universal pardon's past;
O seal it on my heart!
4 Thou canst not now Thy grace deny;
Thou canst not but forgive:
Lord, if thy justice asks me why--
In Jesus I believe. Used With Tune: DEPTFORD
Father, though I have sinned with Thee
Blest Jesus, while Thy grace I sing
Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Blest Jesus, while Thy grace I sing,
What grateful tribute shall I bring,
That earth and heav'n and all may see
My love to Him who died for me?
2 That off'ring, Lord, Thy word hath taught,
Nor be Thy new command forgot,
That, if their Master's death can move,
Thy servants should each other love. Used With Tune: ST. EDMUNDS Text Sources: Tr. Anon. Ohio Synod Hymnal, 1880
Blest Jesus, while Thy grace I sing
