The law of God is good and wise

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: 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.

I could not do without Thee

Author: Frances R. Havergal Appears in 187 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 I could not do without Thee O Savior of the lost, Whose wondrous love redeemed me, At such tremendous cost; Thy righteousness, Thy pardon, Thy precious blood must be My only hope and comfort, My glory and my plea. 2 I could not do without Thee, I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own; But Thou, beloved Savior, Art all in all to me; And weakness will be power If leaning hard on Thee. 3 I could not do without Thee, For O the way is long, And I am often weary, And sigh replaces song: How could I do without Thee? I do not know the way; Thou knowest, and Thou leadest, And wilt not let me stray. 4 I could not do without Thee, O Jesus, Savior dear; E’en when my eyes are holden, I know that Thou art near. How dreary and how lonely This changeful life would be, Without the sweet communion, The secret rest with Thee! 5 I could not do without Thee, For years are fleeting fast, And soon in solemn loneliness The river must be passed; But Thou wilt never leave me, And though the waves roll high, I know Thou wilt be near me, And whisper, "It is I."

Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n

Author: Petrus Herbert; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity 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.

Thou hidden love of God, whose height

Author: G. Tersteegen Appears in 265 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden love of God, whose height, Whose depth unfathomed no man knows, I see from far Thy beauteous light, Inly I sigh for Thy repose: My heart is pained, nor can it be At rest, till it find rest in Thee. 2 Is there a thing beneath the sun That strives with Thee my heart to share? Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone, The Lord of every motion there. Then shall my heart from earth be free, When it has found repose in Thee. 3 O hide this self from me, that I No more, but Christ in me, may live! My base affections crucify, Nor let one favorite sin survive; In all things nothing may I see, Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee. 4 Each moment draw from earth away My heart that lowly waits Thy call! Speak to my inmost soul, and say I am thy love, thy God, thy all! To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice, To taste Thy love, be all my choice! Used With Tune: [Thou hidden love of God, whose height]

The joy of earth and heaven; No other help is found, No other name is given, By which we can salvation have; But Jesus came the world to save. 3 For me and all mankind The Lamb of God was slain: My Lord His life resigned For every soul of man: Loving to all, He none passed by, He would not have one sinner die. 4 O unexampled Love! O all-redeeming grace! How swiftly didst Thou move To save a fallen race! What shall I do to make it known, What Thou for all mankind hast done? Used With Tune: CROFT'S 148TH PSALM

I Jesu søger jeg min Fred

Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Sunday For Evening Lyrics: 1 I Jesu søger jeg min Fred, Al Verden har kun Smerte, Hans Vunder er mig Blivested, Der hviler sig mit Hjerte; Der kan jeg bo I stille Ro, Der findes alt det, som min Tro Saa længselsfuld begjærte. 2 Indtil jeg fandt det Kildespring, Gik jeg paa tørre Veie. Jeg søgte Trøst i mange Ting, Som kunde ei fornøie Den Sjæls Attraa, Som i mig laa, Og endda ei jeg tænkte paa, At søge til det Høie. 3 Saa blind, saa tung, saa jordisk var Min Sjæl, at den ei kunde Opsøge dig, skjønt jeg blev var, At andre Trøstegrunde Gav liden Trøst Udi mit Bryst, Om de end alle var udøst, Ei heller var de sunde. 4 Da ynkedes du over mig, Og drog mig usle Daare Ved Naadens Kald: Kom hid til mig, Her skal du bedre fare! Immanuel Alene vel Husvale kan din arem Sjæl Og frelse af al Fare! 5 Ja Jesu, jeg maa give Magt, At Verden har kun Møie Og Angest, som du selv har sagt, Du ene kan tilføie Den sande Fred Og Rolighed, Dit skjød er ret mit Hvilested, Hvor jeg mig vil fornøie. 6 Dit Korses daarlig' Prædiken Er mig en Visdoms Kilde, Din Død gi'r mig mit Liv igjen, Og hvad, som vil forspilde Mit Sjælegavn, Skal i dit Navn, Som er min trygge Tilflugts Havn, Forsvinde, Jesu milde! 7 Ak, maatte jeg kun idelig Ved dig, min Jesu hænge! Ak, maatte kun min Sjæl i dig Sig daglig dybt indtrænge! Saa fik jeg Fred, Saa fandt jeg Sted For Duens trætte Fode-Fjed, Endog det vared længe!

Join all the glorious names

Author: Watts Appears in 336 hymnals Topics: Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names Of wisdom, love, and power, That ever mortals knew, That angels ever bore: All are too mean to speak His worth, Too mean to set my Saviour forth. 2 But O, what gentle terms, What condescending ways, Doth our Redeemer use, To teach His heavenly grace! 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!
