Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n

Author: Petrus Herbert; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n, That grasps the promise God hath giv'n, A confidence in Christ alone, Whose grace cannot be overthrown. 2 Faith in the conscience worketh peace, And bids the mourner’s weeping cease; By faith the children’s place we claim And give all honor to One Name. 3 Faith feels the Spirit’s kindling breath In love and hope that conquer death; Faith worketh joyfulness in God And trusts and blesses e’en the rod. 4 We thank Thee, then, O God of heaven, That Thou to us this faith hast given; Preserve to us Thy Spirit's grace Till we shall see Thee face to face.

Lamb of God! we fall before Thee

Author: Joseph Hart Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before Thee, Humbly trusting in Thy cross; That alone be all our glory, All things else are only dross. 2 Thee we own a perfect Savior, Only source of all that’s good. Ev'ry grace and ev'ry favor Comes to us through Jesus’ blood. 3 Jesus gives us true repentance, By His Spirit sent from heav’n; Whispers this transporting sentence: "Son thy sins are all forgiven." 4 Faith He grants us to believe it, Grateful hearts His love to prize; Want we wisdom? He must give it; Hearing ears, and seeing eyes. 5 Jesus gives us pure affections, Wills to do what He requires: Makes us follow His directions, And what He commands, inspires. 6 All our prayers, and all our praises, Rightly offered in His name,— He that dictates them is Jesus; He that answers is the same.

By cool Siloan's shady rill

Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 610 hymnals Topics: First Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 By cool Siloam’s shady rill, How fair the lily grows; How sweet the breath beneath the hill Of Sharon’s dewy rose: 2 And such the child whose early feet The paths of peace have trod, Whose secret heart, with influence sweet, Is upward drawn to God. 3 By cool Siloam’s shady rill The lily must decay; The rose that blooms beneath the hill Must shortly fade away; 4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour Of man’s maturer age May shake the soul with sorrow’s power And stormy passion’s rage. 5 O Thou, whose infancy was found With heavenly rays to shine, Whose years, with changeless virtue crowned, Were all alike divine,-- 6 Dependent on Thy bounteous breath, We seek Thy grace alone, In childhood, manhood, and in death, To keep us still Thine own.
