O Father, may Thy word prevail

Author: H. A. Brorson Meter: 8.6.8.6.6.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Fifth Sunday after Epiphany; The Church Year Fifth Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 O Father, may Thy Word prevail Against the gates of hell! Behold the vineyard Thou hast tilled With thorns and thistles filled. 'Tis true, Thy plants are there; But, ah, how weak and rare! How slight the power and evidence Of word and sacraments! 2 Come, Jesus, come and contemplate Thy vineyard's sad estate; Baptized are millions in Thy name, But where is faith's pure flame? Of what avail that we Know of Thine agony, So long as we do not o'erthrow In faith the wicked foe? 3 O Holy Ghost, to Thee, our light, We cry by day, by night: Come, grant us of the light and powe'r Our fathers had of yore; When Thy dear Church did stand A tree, deep-rooted, grand; Full-crowned with blossoms white as snow, With purple fruits aglow! Used With Tune: [O Father, may Thy word prevail]

Op, Zions Vægt're, sover ei!

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Fifth Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Op, Zion's Vægt're, sover ei! Kundgjører Folket Herrens Vei! For Josef Skade, Saar og Sag, I bære Omhu Nat og Dag; Lad intet hindre eder fra, At grunde hjertelig derpaa! 2 Det Regnskab, det, som engang skal Aflægges for saa stort et Tal Af dyre Sjæle, maa jo vel Bekymre eders egen Sjæl; Har Jesus kjøbt dem med sit Blod, Da lignes intet derimod. 3 Ak vaager, beder, strider, staar Mod Løven, som saa listig gaar, Og søger, hvem han finde kan. Der slipper Guds trofaste Haand; Faar han først Hyrden i sin Magt, Er mange Lam og ødelagt. 4 Ak, Jesus, giv os Hyrder, som Ret sørge for din Helligdom, Beskjærm du dem mod Verdens Vold, Og Satans List saa mangefold, Lad dem med dig i Samfund staa, Og evig Hvile hos dig faa!

How blest are all whose hearts unite In bonds of piety! 2 From those celestial springs, Such streams of comfort flow, As no increase of riches brings, Nor honors can bestow. 3 All in their stations move, And each performs his part, In all the cares of life and love, With sympathizing heart. 4 Formed for the purest joys, By one desire possesed, One aim the zeal of all employs, To make each other blest. 5 No bliss can equal theirs, Where such affections meet; While praise devout, and mingled pray'rs, Make their communion sweet. 6 'Tis the same pleasure fills The breast in worlds above, Where joy like morning dew distils, And all the air is love.

Mine eyes with joy and wonder see What forms of love He bears for me. 3 Arrayed in mortal flesh, He like an angel stands; And holds the promises And pardons in His hands: Commissioned from His Father's throne, To make His grace to mortals known. 4 Great Prophet of my God, My tongue would bless Thy Name; Be Thee the joyful news Of our salvation came; The joyful news of sins forgiven, Of hell subdued, and peace with heaven. 5 Be Thou my Counsellor, My Pattern and my Guide; And through this desert land Still keep me near Thy side; O let my feet ne'er run astray, Nor rove, nor seek the crooked way!

In Thy might all things I bear, In thy Love find bitter sweet, And with all my grief and care Sit in patience at Thy feet. 3 Let Thy mercy’s wings be spread O’er me; keep me close to Thee; In the peace Thy love doth shed, Let me dwell eternally. Be my All: in all I do Let me only seek Thy will. Where the heart to Thee is true, All is peaceful, calm and still. Used With Tune: ALLE MENSCHEN MÜSSEN STERBEN

The triumph of His groans! Used With Tune: ABRIDGE

His is love beyond a brother's, Costly, free, and knows no end. They who once His kindness prove, Find it everlasting Love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed his blood? But this Saviour died to have us Reconciled in Him to God: This was boundless Love indeed: Jesus is a Friend in need. 3 When He lived on earth abaséd, Friend of sinners was His name, Now, above all glory raiséd, He rejoices in the same: Still He calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 O for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love, We, alas! forget too often What a Friend we have above: But when home our souls are brought, We will love Thee as we ought.

My soul, repeat His praise

Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 468 hymnals Topics: God His Goodness; Epiphany, Fifth Sunday; Twenty Second Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat His praise, Whose mercies are so great; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 God will not always chide; And, when His wrath is felt, His strokes are fewer than our crimes, And lighter than our guilt. 3 High as the heavens are raised Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of His grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 4 His power subdues our sins; And His forgiving Love, Far as the east is from the west, Doth all our guilt remove. 5 Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flower; If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, It withers in an hour. 6 But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure.

In heaven is joy and gladness

Author: J. N. Brun Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Fifth Sunday after Advent; The Church Year Sixth Sunday after Epiphany; Heavenly Mind Lyrics: 1 In heaven is joy and gladness, But while I sojourn here, So often, bowed in sadness, I shed the bitter tear. Here ills, alway prevailing, Distress the Savior's bride; Here mirth is lost in wailing; In heaven but joys abide. 2 I do not strive for pleasures That fools pursue on earth, I sow in tears for treasures That have more lasting worth. If, when my journey endeth, The sheaves I gather in, The bliss the fool pretendeth I do not yearn to win. 3 For I shall see my Jesus, He is my hope and stay; The cross that me oppresses Anon He takes away. Then nothing more shall grieve me, And no adversity Shall of my joy bereave me; Soon I shall Jesus see. Used With Tune: [In heaven is joy and gladness]
