My Country, 'Tis of Thee
Author: Samuel F. Smith Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 1,951 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:24-26 First Line: My country 'tis of thee Lyrics: 1 My country,' tis of thee,
sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing:
land where my fathers died,
land of the pilgrims' pride,
from every mountainside let freedom ring!
2 My native country, thee,
land of the noble free, thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
thy woods and templed hills;
my heart with rapture thrills like that above.
3 Let music swell the breeze,
and ring from all the trees sweet freedom's song;
let mortal tongues awake,
let all that breathe partake;
let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.
4 Our fathers' God, to thee,
Author of liberty, to thee we sing:
long may our land be bright
with freedom's holy light;
protect us by thy might, great God, our King!

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,627 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:24-25 Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
in a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
and drives away his fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
and calms the troubled breast;
'tis manna to the hungry soul,
and to the weary rest.
3 Dear name! the rock on which I build,
my shield and hiding-place,
my never-failing treasury filled
with boundless stores of grace.
4 Jesus! my Shepherd, Brother, Friend,
my Prophet, Priest, and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
accept the praise I bring.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
and cold my warmest thought;
but when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.
6 Till then I would thy love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of thy name
refresh my soul in death. Topics: Lent III Year C; Proper 6 Year C Used With Tune: ST PETER

Rescue the Perishing
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Meter: 11.10.11.10 with refrain Appears in 784 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:14 First Line: Rescue the perishing, care for the dying Refrain First Line: Rescue the perishing, care for the dying Lyrics: 1 Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
weep o'er the erring one, lift up the fallen,
tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.
[Refrain:]
Rescue the perishing, care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.
2 Though they are slighting him, still he is waiting,
waiting the penitent child to receive;
plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently;
he will forgive if they only believe. (Refrain)
3 Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter,
feelings lie buried that grace can restore;
touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness,
cords that are broken will vibrate once more. (Refrain)
4 Rescue the perishing, duty demands it;
strength for your labor the Lord will provide;
back to the narrow way patiently win them,
tell the poor wanderer a Savior has died. (Refrain)

"Weary, heavy laden"
Author: John Newton Appears in 613 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:7 First Line: Approach, my soul! the mercy-seat Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul! the mercy-seat,
Where Jesus answers prayer;
There humbly fall before his feet,
For none can perish there.
2 Thy promise is my only plea,
With this I venture nigh:
Thou callest burdened souls to thee,
And such, O Lord! am I.
3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
By Satan sorely pressed;
By war without, and fears within,
I come to thee for rest.
4 Be thou my shield and hiding-place,
That, sheltered near thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face,
And tell him--thou hast died.
5 Oh, wondrous Love--to bleed and die,
To bear the cross and shame,
That guilty sinners, such as I,
Might plead thy gracious name! Topics: Christ Hiding-Place; Christ Refuge; Prayer and Invocation Used With Tune: GIFT

there they behold thy mercy-seat;
where'er they seek thee thou art found,
and every place is hallowed ground.
2 For thou, within no walls confined,
inhabitest the humble mind;
such ever bring thee when they come,
and, going, take thee to their home.
3 Dear Shepherd of thy chosen few,
thy former mercies here renew;
here to our waiting hearts proclaim
the sweetness of thy saving name.
4 Here may we prove the power of prayer
to strengthen faith and sweeten care,
to teach our faint desires to rise,
and bring all heaven before our eyes.
5 Lord, we are few, but thou art near;
nor short thine arm, nor deaf thine ear:
O rend the heavens, come quickly down,
and make a thousand hearts thine own! Topics: Fourth Sunday Before Lent Year A; Lent III Year A; Proper 12 Year C; Proper 20 Year C Used With Tune: WAREHAM

Dear God, Compassionate and Kind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 with repeat Appears in 509 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:7-11 Lyrics: 1 Dear God, compassionate and kind,
forgive our foolish ways.
Re-clothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise,
in deeper reverence, praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word,
rise up and follow thee,
rise up and follow thee!
3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity
interpreted by love,
interpreted by love!
4 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace,
the beauty of thy peace.
5 Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm,
O still, small voice of calm. Topics: Call and Vocation; Forgiveness; Lent (season); Peace of God Used With Tune: REPTON
