The roseate hues of early dawn

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 140 hymnals Topics: Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The roseate hues of early dawn, The brightness of the day, The crimson of the sunset sky, How fast they fade away! O for the pearly gates of heaven! O for the golden floor! O for the Sun of Righteousness That setteth nevermore! 2 The highest hopes we cherish here, How fast they tire and faint! How many a spot defiles the robe That wraps an earthly saint! O for a heart that never sins! O for a soul washed white! O for a voice to praise our King, Nor weary day or night! 3 Here faith is ours, and heavenly hope, And grace to lead us higher; But there are perfectness and peace, Beyond our great desire. O by Thy Love and anguish, Lord, O by Thy life laid down, O that we fall not from Thy grace, Nor cast away our crown! Used With Tune: CASTLE RISING

The law of God is good and wise

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Word; Fourth Sunday after Epiphany; Fourth Sunday in Lent; Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; Sixth Sunday after Trinity; Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise And sets His will before our eyes, Shows us the way of righteousness, And dooms to death when we transgress. 2 Its light of holiness imparts The knowledge of our sinful hearts That we may see our lost estate And seek deliv'rance ere too late. 3 To those who help in Christ have found And would in works of love abound, It shows what deeds are His delight And should be done as good and right. 4 When men the offered help disdain And dead in sin and woe remain; Its terror in their ear resounds And keeps their wickedness in bounds. 5 The law is good; but since the fall Its holiness condemns us all: It dooms us for our sin to die, And has no power to justify. 6 To Jesus we for refuge flee, Who from the curse has set us free, And humbly worship at His throne, Saved by His grace through faith alone.

How fair the Church of Christ shall stand

Author: T. Kingo Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 How fair the Church of Christ shall stand, A beacon-light in all the land, When love and faith all hearts inspire, And all unite in one desire To be as brothers, and agree To live in peace and unity. 2 'Tis all in vain that you profess The doctrines of the Church, unless You live according to your creed, And show your faith by word and deed. Observe the rule: To others do As you would have them do to you. 3 Resentment, hate, and cruel jest, Must not be harbored in the breast Where love and charity should dwell; Then, think and speak of others well, Refrain from all that causes strife And mars a truly Christian life. 4 So let your tongue, your heart, and mind Agree to banish every kind Of malice, falsehood and disguise, And here on earth a paradise Of peace and harmony maintain, Where concord and good-will shall reign. 5 For God observes our thoughts and deeds, The secrets of our heart He reads; The wicked can not be concealed, Their evil ways shall be revealed, He every true believer knows, And love and grace on him bestows. 6 My soul, be therefore of good cheer, Though sinners threaten, scoff, and sneer, Serenely on your way proceed, Nor worldly strife and clamor heed, For Jesus' sake the cross you bear, And soon with Him the crown shall wear. 7 O gracious God, wilt Thou my heart So fashion in each secret part, That Thou be sanctified in me, Till Thee in heaven above I see, Where holy, holy, holy, Lord, We sing to Thee with sweet accord.

Songs of immortal praise belong

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 126 hymnals Topics: Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Songs of immortal praise belong To my almighty God: He hath my heart, and He my tongue, To spread His name abroad. 2 How great the works His hands have wrought! How glorious in our sight! And men in ev'ry age have sought His wonders with delight. 3 How most exact is nature's frame! Th' eternal God, how wise! His counsels never change the scheme That His first thoughts devise. 4 When He through Christ redeemed our race He fixed His cov'nant sure; His precious promises of grace To endless years endure. 5 Nature, and time, and earth, and skies His heavenly skill proclaim; But they alone are truly wise, Who know in Christ His name.

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday High Mass Lyrics: 1 Herre! jeg hjertelig ønsker at fremme din Ære, Dertil du skabte mig, at jeg din Tjener skal være. Hvor er jeg sæl, Som kan med Liv og med Sjæl Tjene saa naadig en Herre! 2 O, at jeg kunde i Gjerning saa gjerne, jeg vilde, Prise dig Fader, al Miskunds og Kjærligheds Kilde! Til alt dit Verk Gjær mig lærvillig og sterk, Lad mig dit Venskab ei spilde! 3 Væk selv mit Sind, og opmuntre mig flittig at sjunge, Til din Taksigelse løsne min stammende Tunge! Immanuel, Du bør i Legem og Sjæl Prises af Gamle og Unge! 4 Du er den Første og Sidste, som alle Ting bærer, Du er den Vise og Gode, alt Levende nærer, Intet bestaar, Ingen sit Endemaal naar Uden ved dig, som regjerer. 5 Du er den kjærlige Fader, som Sønnen udsendte, For os Fortabte fra Døden til Livet at hente; Din Miskund gjør, At vi, Dødskyldige, tør Livet og Salighed vente. 6 Du lader Naade ved Aanden i Hjertet nedflyde, Du giver Kraft udi Trængsler til gjennem at bryde; DiN søde Trøst Salver det saarede Bryst, Naar vore Klagemaal lyde. 7 Naade – ak hellige, søde Guds Rørelsers Glæde! Forsmag paa det, som deroppe i Herligheds Sæde Øses skal ud, Naar for vor Saligheds Gud Vi skal i Lyset fremtræde! 8 Naaden, ak kan den saa liflig om Hjerterne lette, Hvad vil da Herligheds Fylde i Himlen udrette! Sødeste Gud! Hvo kan vel tænke det ud? Hvo kan dig takke for dette?

Midt igjennem Nød og Fare

Author: Brorson Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday High Mass Lyrics: 1 Midt igjennem Nød og Fare Veien gaar til Paradis. O du Lammets Brudeskare, Du maa gjennem Torneris, Du maa over Berg og Dal Hjem til Zions Brudesal! Dog – det bliver let at glemme Første Øieblik derhjemme. 2 Ei, saa lad dig intet trykke, Jesu Brud, paa denne Jord, Efterdi hun er, din Lykke, Saa sorunderlig og stor! Er du dog saa salig her, Hvor langt mere evig der! Faa Minuter om at gjøre, Kan man dig for Thronen høre. 3 Derfor, Fader uden Lige, Sendte du din Søn herned, Os at vinde Himmerige, Som med Usseldommen stred. Ham vi favne frydelig, Og vort Støv skal takke dig Her og hist med mange, mange Evig søde Brudesange.

Skal Kjærlighed sin Prøve staa

Author: H. A. Brorson Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday High Mass Lyrics: 1 Skal Kjærlighed sin Prøve staa Da maa den til din Fiende naa, At du er mild, naar han er vred, Det er en kristen Kjærlighed. 2 Den Lærdom er saa beesk og sur Som Døden selv for vor Natur, Det synes alt for tungt og svart For Adams flintehaarde Art. 3 Dog gjelder her slet intet Nei, Saa sandt du vil den rette Vei; At elske dem, som elske dig, Det kan en Hedning magelig. 4 Men Jesus taler rene Ord, At Had i Hjertet er et Mord, Undskyldning gjelder ikke her, Din Fiende skal du have kjær. 5 Vil nogen side da: Jeg kan Ei elske ret min Avindsmand, Han vidner, at han ei forstaar, Hvad Jesu Kjærlighed formaar. 6 Men siger du: Jeg gjerne vil, Men finder ingen Kraft dertil, Da løb til Jesu Vunder hen, Saa tendes Kjærlighed igjen. 7 Lad Hjertet komme ind i Bod, Og smelte hen i Jesu Blod, Da bliver Kristi milde Sind I Sjælen deilig prentet ind. 8 Naar vi med aandsoplyst Forstand Vor Jesu Hjerte skue kan, Hvor han for sine Fiender bad, Da de kun stod og lo derad, 9 Naar vi betænke, hvor han gik, Vor Sjæle-Hyrde, før han fik Os ud af Dødens Fare rykt, Hvor tidt og længe han har søgt; 10 Naar vi bese i Hjertets Grund De mange svare Syndens Pund, Som Gud saa gjerne os forlod For Jesu Pine, Død og Blod; 11 Naar Aanden gjør os dette klart, Da tendes udi Sjælen snart Den sterke Kjærlighedens Brand, At man sin Fiende elske kan. 12 Saa luesterk er Kjærlighed, Den slaar al Verdens Ilske ned, Og drager Sjælen ind til Gud, Da lære vi der femte Bud. 13 O lad mig hjertens-inderlig, Min søde Jesu, elske dig, Og komme dig i Troen nær, Saa faar jeg nok min Fiende kjær.

Herman; Hans Thomissøn Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Twenty fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday; Twenty fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 Naar Tid og Stund den er for Haand, At jeg min Vei skal fare, Herre Jesus Krist, min Frelsermand, Du vilde mig bevare! Udi din Haand jeg giver dig Min arme Sjæl, forlad ei mig, Frels mig fra Dødsens Snare! 2 Min Synd med Sorg mig tynger svær, Samvittighedens Pile Som Havets Sand mangfoldig er, Dog vil jeg ikke tvile, Men tænke trolig, Jesus sød, Paa dine Saar og paa din Død, Paa dem saa vil jeg hvile. 3 Dit Legems Lem er jeg forsand, Det er min Hjertens Glæde, Fra dig jeg ikke skilles kan, Er end min Død tilstede; Om jeg end dør, da dør jeg dig, Det evig' Liv du vilde mig Dyrt ved din Død berede. 4 Fordi at du opstanden est, I Graven jeg ei bliver, Din Himmelfart mig trøster mest, Og al Døds-Frygt fordriver, Og der, du er, jeg kommer did, At bo hos dig til evig Tid, Thi dør jeg glad'lig, Amen.

Heav'nly Father, Jesus taught us

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D., 1880 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Father, Jesus taught us Trustingly to call Thee ours; Lovingly Thy mercy sought us Early in life's tender hours. Thou from Satan's realm hast sav'd us, Hast adopted us Thine own; In baptismal water lav'd us, Given us a fadeless crown. 2 Heavenly Father, Jesus taught us Thus to call Thee, in His name; His enduring merits wrought us Graciously this childhood's claim: Then with 'Abba, Father!' come we, Place us wholly in Thy care; O, let naught e'er wrest us from Thee! Heed and hear Thy children's prayer. 3 Heavenly Father, Jesus taught us That, where Thou art, we shall be; Hence the Holy Spirit brought us Unto child-like faith in Thee. In Thy house are mansions spacious, For the many ransomed blest! Take us then, O Father gracious! There are home, sweet peace, and rest. Used With Tune: AUSTRIA
