O for a faith that will not shrink
Author: William Hiley Bathurst Appears in 706 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink,
Though pressed by ev'ry foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe!
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chast'ning rod,
But in the hour of grief or pain
Will lean upon its God.
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without,
That, when in danger, knows no fear,
In darkness, feels no doubt;
4 That bears, unmoved the world’s dread frown,
Nor heeds its scornful smile;
That seas of trouble cannot drown,
Nor Satan’s arts beguile,
5 A faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life’s last hour is fled
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Lights up a dying bed.
6 Lord, give us such a faith as this,
And then, whate’er may come,
We’ll taste e’en here the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON
O for a faith that will not shrink
O God, Thou faithful God
Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 63 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God,
Thou Fountain ever-flowing,
Without whom nothing is,
All perfect gifts bestowing;
A pure and healthy frame
O give me, and within
A conscience free from blame,
A soul unhurt by sin.
2 And grant me, Lord, to do
With ready heart and willing,
Whate'er Thou shalt command,
My calling here fulfilling;
To do it when I ought,
With all my strength, and bless
The work I thus have wrought,
For Thou must give success.
3 And let me promise naught
But I can keep it truly,
Abstain from idle words,
And guard my lips still duly;
And grant, when in my place
I must and ought to speak,
My words due power and grace;
Nor let me wound the weak.
4 If dangers gather round,
Still keep me calm and fearless;
Help me to bear the cross,
When life is dark and cheerless;
To overcome my foe
With words and actions kind;
When counsel I would know,
Good counsel let me find.
5 And let me be with all
In peace and friendship living,
As far as Christians may;
And if Thou aught art giving
Of wealth and honors fair,
That nought be mingled there
Of goods unjustly got.
6 And if a longer life
Be here on earth decreed me,
And Thou through many a strife
To ripe old age wilt lead me,
Thy patience in me shed.
Avert all sin and shame,
And crown my hoary head
With pure untarnished fame.
7 Let nothing here earth
Me from my Savior sever;
And when I die, O take
My soul to Thee forever;
And let my body have
A little space to sleep
Beside my kindred' grave,
And o'er it vigil keep.
8 And when the Day is come,
And all the dead are waking,
O reach me down Thy hand,
Thyself my slumbers breaking;
Then let me hear Thy voice,
And change this earthly frame,
And bid me aye rejoice
With those who love Thy name. Used With Tune: MUNICH (O Gott, du frommer Gott)
O God, Thou faithful God
Jesus, Lover of my soul
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 3,300 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the waters nearer roll,
While the tempest still is high!
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide;
O receive my soul at last!
2 Other refuge have I none;
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, oh, leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me!
All my trust on Thee is stayed,
All my help from thee I bring:
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
More than all in Thee I find:
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is Thy Name;
I am all unrighteousness:
False and full of sin I am;
Thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found,
Grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound;
Make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the Fountain art;
Freely let me take of Thee;
Spring Thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity. Used With Tune: JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL
Jesus, Lover of my soul
Opløft dit Syn, o kristen Sjæl!
Author: Landstad Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Opløft dit Syn, o kristen Sjæl!
Det dugger over Dal og Field,
Det vaares allevegne!
Gud har sin milde Haand oplukt,
Den gode Sæd har baaret Frugt
I fjerne Verdens Egne!
Lover Herren!
Sjæle bundne,
Nu gjenfundne,
Frelste føres,
Glædesang i Himlen høres.
2 Som Regn og Sne fra Himlens Sky,
De vande Jorden, gjør den ny,
At Grøden stander fager,
Aaa vender, siger Gud, mit Ord
Tilbage ikke tomt fra Jord,
Men gjør, hvad mig behager,
Lover Herren!
Ordet sandes,
Ørken vandes,
Grøden trives,
Og nyt Liv de Døde gives.
3 Den gode Hyrde, se han gaar,
Indtil han fundet har sit Faar,
Og Glædes Taarer rinde;
O, lad os flittig gaa med ham,
Og lokke paa de kjære Lam,
Som løbe om i Blinde!
Lover Herren!
Løfter Raabet
Glad i Haabet,
Troesstærke!
Det er Herrens Haand, vi merke.
4 Velkomme alle fjern og nær
Til Herrens Søskend-Samfund her,
Som har i Himlen hjemme!
Gud signe eder, gjøre stærk,
Og han, som har begyndt sit Værk,
Til Kristi Dag det fremme!
Lover Herren
Langt om Lande,
I, som stande
Tungt i Striden,
Saa med Graad og glædes siden!
Opløft dit Syn, o kristen Sjæl!
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. Used With Tune: WILMOT
Lamb of God! we fall before Thee
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. Used With Tune: UXBRIDGE Text Sources: Moravian
Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n
My hope is built on nothing less
Author: Ed. Mote Appears in 1,109 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Third Sunday after Epiphany; The Church Year Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand:
All other ground is sinking sand.
2 When clouds and darkness veil His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace,
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil;
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand:
All other ground is sinking sand.
3 His oath, His covenant, and blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand:
All other ground is sinking sand.
4 When He shall come, with trumpet sound,
O may I then in Him be found!
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand:
All other ground is sinking sand.
Used With Tune: [My hope is built on nothing less]

Jeg takker Gud, min kristen Tro
Author: Landstad Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Jeg takker Gud, min kristen Tro
Den er saa kjært et Stykke,
Al Tid, jeg skal i Verden bo,
Den er mit Hjertes Smykke,
Og gjemt som Arveguld i Skrin,
Til selv han kommer, Herren min,
Da lyser op min Lykke!
2 Thi den, som paa gud Fader tror,
Han frygter ingen Fare,
Han veed, han faar sit Brød paa Bord,
Gud vil ham vel bevare,
Han eier Trøst i al sin Nød,
Og Hjælp i Usseldom og Død;
De Tider rinde snare.
3 Og den, som ret paa Kristus tror,
Han er Guds Barn det kjære,
Har Syndsforladelse og bor
Med Fred, hvor det skal være,
Mod sine Brødre er han mild,
Og vil for dem, som fare vild,
En Hjælper gjerne være
4 Og Troen paa Gud Helligaand
Hun trøster den, som strider,
Hun veed, at Satans Magt og Baand
Skal brydes dog omsider,
Og at i os Guds Riges Sag
Fuldkommes skal til Kristi Dag,
Saa frem med Gud det skrider.
5 Saa gaa Guds Børn til Paradis,
Det er en Vei saa vakker,
Der synger Himlens Hær Guds Pris,
Og lover ham og takker,
Med dem vil vi af Hjertens Grund
Paa Reisen takke al den Stund,
Helft nu mod Aften lakker.
Jeg takker Gud, min kristen Tro
O bless the Lord, my soul!
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 257 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 O bless the Lord, my soul!
Let all within me join,
And aid my tongue to bless His Name
Whose favors are divine.
2 'Tis He forgives thy sins;
'Tis He relieves thy pain;
'Tis He that heals thy sicknesses,
And gives thee strength again.
3 He crowns thy life with love,
When rescued from the grave;
He, that redeemed my souls from death,
Hath boundless power to save.
4 He fills the poor with good,
He gives the suff'rers rest;
The Lord hath justice for the proud,
And mercy for th'oppressed.
5 His wondrous works and ways
He made by Moses known;
But sent the world His truth and grace
By His beloved Son.
6 O bless the Lord, my soul!
Nor let this mercies lie
Forgotten in unthankfulness,
And without praises die. Used With Tune: MORNINGTON
O bless the Lord, my soul!
The leper in his painful case
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 The leper in his painful case
Trusts to the Saviour's pow'r and grace;
He soon was made to feel, and know
What Jesus by his word could do.
2 The pain and anguish he did feel,
Which none on all the earth could heal;
Was soon remov'd, and done away:
Soon as to Jesus he did pray.
3 When my whole state of mind I view,
I find I am a Leper too;
A Leper of the vilest kind,
And no relief or cure I find.
4 I am defil'd in ev'ry part,
And pain and anguish fills my heart:
My very soul is fill'd with sin
And I must cry, unclean, unclean.
5 But as my Saviour passes by,
Then like the Leper I will cry:
Lord! thou can'st cure me if thou wilt!
O! cleanse my soul from sin and guilt.
6 My great Phycision Christ shall be
To cleanse my soul, and set me free,
And I shall know his love and pow'r,
And praise and thank him ever more. Scripture: Matthew 8:1-13
