Spirit Divine, attend our Pray'r
Author: Andrew Reed Appears in 396 hymnals Topics: Tenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Spirit divine, attend our prayer,
And make our hearts Thy home;
Descend with all Thy gracious pow'r;
O come, great Spirit, come.
2 Come as the light--to us reveal
Our sinfulness and woe,
And lead us in those paths of life,
Where all the righteous go.
3 Come as the fire, and purge our hearts
Like sacrificial flame;
Let ev'ry soul an off'ring be
To our Redeemer's name.
4 Come as the dove, and spread Thy wings,
The wings of peaceful love,
And let the Church on earth become
Blest as the Church above. Used With Tune: EAGLEY

God calling yet!--shall I not hear?
Author: G. Tersteegen Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 429 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Tenth Sunday after Trinity ; The Church Year Tenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 God calling yet!--shall I not hear?
Earth's pleasures shall I still hold dear?
Shall life's swift passing years all fly,
And still my soul in slumbers lie?
2 God calling yet!--shall I not rise?
Can I His loving voice despise,
And basely His kind care repay?
He calls me still; can I delay?
3 God calling yet! and shall He knock
And I my heart the closer lock?
He still is waiting to receive,
And shall I dare His Spirit grieve?
4 God calling yet!--and shall I give
No heed, but still in bondage live?
I wait, but He does not forsake;
He calls me still: My heart, awake!
5 Ah, yield Him all: in Him confide:
Where but with Him doth peace abide?
Break loose, let earthly bonds be riven,
And let the spirit rise to heaven!
6 God calling yet!--I cannot stay;
My heart I yield without delay;
Vain world, farewell! from thee I part;
The voice of God hath reached my heart! Used With Tune: [God calling yet! shall I not hear?]
God calling yet!--shall I not hear?
Behold, where in a mortal form
Author: William Enfield Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 210 hymnals Topics: Tenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Behold, where in a mortal form
Appears each grace divine!
The virtues, all in Jesus met,
With mildest radiance shine.
2 To spread the rays of heavenly light,
To give the mourner joy,
To preach glad tidings to the poor,
Was His divine employ.
3 'Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn,
Patient and meek He stood.
His foes, ungrateful, sought His life;
He labored for their good.
4 In the last hours of deep distress,
Before His Father's throne,
With soul resigned He bowed, and said,
"Thy will, not mine, be done!"
5 Be Christ our Pattern and our Guide!
His image may we bear!
O may we tread His holy steps,
His joys and glory share! Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL
Behold, where in a mortal form
Behold a stranger at the door!
Author: Joseph Grigg, 1728-1768 Appears in 625 hymnals Topics: Tenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Behold a Stranger at the door!
He gently knocks-- has knocked before,
Has waited long-- is waiting still:
You treat no other friend so ill.
2 O lovely attitude, He stands
With melting heart and loaded hands!
O matchless kindness! and He shows
This matchless kindness to His foes!
3 But will He prove a friend indeed?
He will; the very friend you need;
The Friend of sinners--yes, 'tis He,
With garments dyed on Calvary.
4 Admit Him ere His anger burn;
His feet, departed, ne'er return;
Admit Him, or the hour's at hand
You'll at His door rejected stand. Used With Tune: BACA
Behold a stranger at the door!
Nu Jesus til sin Pine gaar
Author: Brorson Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Tenth Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 Nu Jesus til sin Pine gaar,
Ham Taaarerne i Øine staar,
Han brister i at græde.
Hvi græder du, som giver Trøst,
Hvi græder alle Kristnes Lyst,
Hvi græder Himlens Glæde?
2 Var det, fordi du kunde se
Dit Pinested, Getsemane,
Og Dødens Kalk iskjænket,
Der Satan og den store Stad
Til dig at lave Dødsens Bad
Var ret som sammenlænket?
3 Nei, derfor græd min Jesus ei,
Han traadte paa sin Pinsels Vei
Med helligt Mod og Længsel;
Hans Død var besk at tænke paa,
Men større var hans Lyst at faa
Os frelst af evigt Fængsel.
4 Men Sagen var, fordi han saa,
De Fleste skjønne intet paa
Hans bitre Dødsens Vaade,
Men leve hen foruden Bod,
Ja træde paa hans Død og Blod
Og himmelsøde Naade.
5 Dog tænke de i deres Sind,
At de skal løbe lige ind
I Salighedens Rige,
Den Sag maa Hjertet sukke ved,
Som Jesus og paa dette Sted
Ei kan for Graad udsige.
6 Ak, vilde du endnu idag
Betænke ret din Frelses Sag
Med Bedrings Graad og Sukke,
Da skulde denne Taare-Regn
Dig vorde vist et Naade-Tegn
Til Vredens Ild at slukke!
7 Men Satan selv har dig forrykt,
Du lever uden Sans og Frygt,
Og vil dig ei omvende,
Saa Gud maa føre over dig
En jammerfuld og græsselig
Forstyrrelse og Ende.
8 Saa græd da, sikre Sjæl, engang!
Den Tid, den Tid er altfor lang,
Du levet har saa ilde;
Han har dig, som en Stad, belagt
Med sine Taarers Vold og Magt,
O, lad dig dog formilde!
9 Se paa hans vaade Rosens-Kind,
O, se ham ret i Øine ind!
Der blinker Naadens Rige.
Tak, Jesus, for de Taarers Vand,
Som Hjertet mere trøste kan,
End tungen kan udsige!
Nu Jesus til sin Pine gaar
Holy Ghost, dispel our sadness

Pierce the clouds of sinful night;
Come, Thou Source of sweetest gladness,
Breathe Thy life, and spread Thy light!
Come, Thou best of all donations
God can give, or we implore!
Having Thy sweet consolations,
We need wish for nothing more.

As a gracious shower descend,
Bringing down the richest treasure
Man can wish, or God can send.
Author of the new creation!
Come with unction and with power;
Make our hearts Thy habitation;
On our souls Thy graces shower.

Fence us in on every side;
In distress be our reliever;
Guard and teach, support and guide.

Loving Spirit, God of peace!

Fond of these trifling toys;
Our souls, how heavily they go,
To reach eternal joys!
3 Dear Lord, and shall we ever live
At this poor, dying rate?
Our love so cold, so faint to thee,
And Thine to us so great?
4 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers.

And that shall kindle ours. Used With Tune: ST. MARY'S

To fill the hearts which Thou hast made.

And make our hearts o'erflow with love;
With patience firm and virtue high,
The weakness of our flesh supply.
3 Far from us drive the foe we dread,
And grant us Thy true peace instead;
So shall we not, with Thee for guide,
Turn from the path of life aside. Used With Tune: OLIVE'S BROW

Attend the heav'nly sound:
Ye doubting souls! dismiss your fear;
Hope smiles reviving round.

Here streams of bounty flow,
And life and health, and bliss impart
To banish mortal woe.
3 Here springs of sacred pleasures rise
To ease your every pain:
Immortal fountain! full supplies!
Nor shall you thirst in vain.

The gracious call obey;
Mercy invites to heavenly joys,
And can you yet delay?

To Thee let sinners fly
And take the bliss Thy love imparts
And drink, and never die. Used With Tune: HOWARD

Let Thy bright beams arise:

The darkness from our eyes.

Our doubts and fears remove;
And kindle in our breasts the flame
Of never-dying love.
3 Convince us of our sin,
Then lead to Jesus' Blood;
And to our wondering view reveal
The secret Love of God.
4 'Tis thine to cleanse the heart,
To sanctify the soul,
To pour fresh life in every part,
And new create the whole.
5 Dwell, therefore, in our hearts;
Our minds from bondage free;
Then we shall know, and praise and love
The Father, Son, and Thee. Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE
Come, Holy Spirit, come
