O wondrous Conqueror and great

Homburg Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.4.4.4.4.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O wondrous Conqueror and great, Scorned by the world Thou didst create, Thy work is all completed! Thy toilsome course is at an end; Thou to the Father dost ascend, In royal glory seated. Lowly, holy, now victorious, High and glorious: Earth and heaven To Thy rule, O Christ, are given. 2 Thou, Lord, art now our head, and we Thy members are, and draw from Thee Our life and full salvation. For comfort, peace, joy, light and power, For balm to heal in sorrow's hour, We yield Thee adoration. Kneeling, feeling, Thou art nearest, Lord, and dearest: we're receiving Grace surpassing our conceiving. 3 Lord Jesus, keep our eyes on Thee; Help us Thy servants true to be, Fulfilling Thy good pleasure, Set Thou our minds on things above, Let this vain world ne'er win our love, Be Thou our only treasure. Wholly, lowly, we would own Thee, And enthrone Thee: wisdom learning, All Thy perfect ways discerning. 4 Thou, Jesus, art our shield and guide, O let Thy words in us abide, Directing all our going. Teach us to love Thy blessed will, To suffer meekly and be still, Nor fear grief's tide o'erflowing. Weeping, keeping low before Thee, We adore Thee. 'Midst our sorrow, Lord, we hail the coming morrow. 5 Lord Jesus, hasten Thy return; Our longing hearts expectant yearn To prove the joys of heaven. Thy precious blood has set us free, We owe our present all to Thee, For us Thy life was given. Singing, bringing praise abounding Now we're sounding never-ending Triumph, Lord, in Thy ascending.

O Holy Ghost, descend, we pray

Author: Michael Schirmer Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O Holy Ghost descend, we pray, Abide with us from day to day, Thy temple deign to make us! Let Thy bright beams, thou heav'nly Light, Dispel the darkness of our night, To joy and gladness wake us; That we To Thee Truly living, To Thee giving Pray'r unceasing, Still may be in love increasing. 2 Give to Thy Word impressive power That in our hearts, from this good hour, As fire it may be glowing; That we may Thee the Father, Son, And Spirit, on one common throne, Confess, Thy glory showing. O stay And sway Our souls ever, That they never May forsake Thee, But by faith their refuge make Thee. 3 Thou Fountain whence all wisdom flows Which God on pious hearts bestows, Grant us Thy consolation, that in our pure faith's unity, We faithful witnesses may be Of grace that brings salvation. Hear us, Cheer us By Thy teaching, Let our preaching And our labor Praise the Lord and bless our neighbor. 4 Direct us by Thy counsel still, That we may understand Thy will; We err unless Thou guide us. O grant us constancy, that we May ever faithful prove to Thee, Whatever woes betide us. Descend, Defend From all errors And earth's terrors; Be our healing, Jesus' love and peace revealing. 5 Thy grace sustain, pervade our heart, That we may act the valiant part With Thee as our reliance; Be Thou our Captain and our Shield, That we may never quit the field, But bid the foe defiance. Heed us! Speed us! O'er us hover As our Cover; Thy Salvation Be our constant consolation. 6 O mighty Rock, O source of Life, Let Thy dear Word, 'mid doubt and strife, Be so within us burning That we be faithful unto death, In Thy pure love and holy faith From Thee true wisdom learning! Thy fire Inspire Quick'ning savor, That with favor Our behavior May confess Christ as our Savior. 7 O gentle Dew, from heav'n now fall With power upon the hearts of all, Thy tenderness instilling; That heart to heart more closely bound, Fruitful in kindly deeds be found, The law of love fulfilling! No ill Shall fill Hearts that love Thee And approve Thee; Where Thou livest, Peace, good will, and joy Thou givest, 8 Grant that our days, while life shall last, In humble holiness be passed; Our minds fill with Thy leaven, That they may rise o'er things of earth, The hopes and joys that here have birth, And live in joys of heaven. Sustain, Restrain From offences Hearts and senses; Blessed Spirit! Bid us thus true life inherit.

Lord, what is man, that from above, Thou shouldst descend, in wondrous love, To die for our salvation? Blessèd Jesu! I adore Thee, and before Thee Make confession, Thou wast slain by my transgression. 2 Thee crowned with thorns my faith adores: Thee on the cross my soul implores— In death Thy foes subduing! There Paradise is still Thy own; Thy power upon the cross is shown, There all our hope renewing! Now Thy sorrows, Lord, shall grieve me, yet relieve me, Life and healing To my wounded spirit sealing. 3 Ah, how shall I such love requite, To Thou, my Lord, my life, my light, No pains for me disdaining? I yield myself, my all to Thee; Henceforth, O Jesu, dwell in me, O’er all within me reigning. Holy Jesu! King of glory! I implore Thee, Comfort send me; Jesus! unto death attend me.
