Jesus, Lover of my soul
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 3,300 hymnals Topics: Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity 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: MARTYN

If the foe be near,
Let not faithless fears o'ertake us,
Let not faith and hope forsake us;
For through many a woe
To our home we go!

From a long-felt grief,
When temptations come alluring,
Make us patient and enduring;
Show us that bright shore
Where we weep no more!

Till our rest be won;

Still support, console, protect us,
Till we safely stand
In our fatherland! Used With Tune: [Jesus, still lead on]

O Thou, from whom all goodness flows
Author: Thomas Haweis Appears in 419 hymnals Topics: Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O Thou, from whom all goodness flows,
I raise my soul to Thee;
In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes,
Dear Lord, remember me.

My sins lie heavily,
Thy pardon grant, new peace impart:
Dear Lord, remember me!
3 When trials sore obstruct my way,
And ills I cannot flee,
O let my strength be as my day:
Dear Lord, remember me!
4 If worn with pain, disease, and grief,
This feeble frame shall be;
Grant patience, rest, and kind relief:
Dear Lord, remember me!
5 When in the solemn hour of death
I wait Thy just decree,
Be this the prayer of my last breath,
Dear Lord, remember me!
6 And when before Thy throne I stand,
And lift my soul to Thee,
Then, with the saints at Thy right hand,
Dear Lord, remember me! Used With Tune: MERTON
O Thou, from whom all goodness flows
And must this body die
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 378 hymnals Topics: Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 And must this body die?
This mortal frame decay?
And must these active limbs of mine
Lie mouldering in the clay?
2 God my Redeemer lives,
And often from the skies,
Looks down and watches all my dust,
Till He shall bid it rise.
3 Arrayed in glorious grace
Shall these vile bodies shine,
And every shape, and every face,
Look heavenly and divine.
4 These lively hopes we owe
To Jesus' dying Love:
We would adore His grace below,
And sing His power above.
5 Dear Lord, accept the praise
Of these our humble songs,
Till tunes of nobler sound we raise
With our immortal tongues. Used With Tune: MOCCAS
And must this body die
When along life's thorny road
Author: James G. Deck Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 When along life's thorny road,
Faints the soul beneath the load,
By its cares and sins opprest,
Finds on earth no peace or rest;
When the wily tempter's near,
Filling us with doubt and fear:
Jesus, to Thy feet we flee,
Jesus, we will look to Thee.
2 thou, our Savior, from the throne
Listenest to Thy people's moan;
Thou, the living Head, dost share
Every pang Thy members bear;
Full of tenderness Thou art,
Thou wilt heal the broken heart;
Full of power Thine arm shall quell
All the rage bad might of hell.
3 Mighty to redeem and save,
Thou hast overcome the grave;
Thou the bars of death hast riven,
Opened wide the bars of heaven;
Soon in glory thou shalt come,
Taking Thy poor pilgrims home;
Jesus, then we all shall be,
Ever, ever, Lord, with Thee.

Der staar en Mand og takker Gud
Author: Birgitte Boye; Landstad Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday For Evening Lyrics: 1 Der staar en Mand og takker Gud,
At han er ei som andre,
At han i alle Lovens Bud
Kan ret og rigtig vandre,
Han drister paa sin egen Dyd;
Den Daarskab, Herre Jesu, bryd!
At vi for dig i Bønne-Stund
De skyldig' Pund
Maa mindes ret af Hjertens Grund!
2 Men Tolderen, som knapt sin Fod
Tør i Guds Temple sette,
Han for sig selv langt borte stod,
Gik med sig selv i Rette,
Og brast med Sorg i sukke ud:
O, vær mig Synder naadig, Gud!
Hans Bod var sand, hans Længsel stor,
Han Naaden tror,
Og Gud til Hjerte gik hans Ord.
3 Thi Kristus siger, denne Mand,
Som syntes saa uværdig,
Hso Gud i Himlen Naade fandt,
Og han gik hjem retfærdig.
O Gud, lær os at bede saa,
At vi og kan din Naade faa,
Og saa gaa hjem med Synd forladt,
Og Dag og Nat
Velsigne dig, vort Hjertes Skat!
Der staar en Mand og takker Gud
A pilgrim and a stranger
Author: P. Gerhardt Appears in 83 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger,
I journey here below,
Far distant is my country,
The home to which I go.
Here I must toil and travail,
Oft weary and oppressed,
But there my God shall lead me
To everlasting rest.
2 I've met with storms and danger,
E'en from my early years,
With enemies and conflicts,
With fightings and with fears.
There's nothing here that tempts me
To wish a longer stay,
So I must hasten forward,
No halting or delay.
3 It is a well-worn pathway--
Many have gone before;
Thy holy saints and prophets,
The patriarchs of yore.
They trod the toilsome journey
In patience and in faith;
And them I fain would follow,
Like them in life and death.
4 Who would share Abraham's blessing,
Must Abraham's path pursue.
A stranger and a pilgrim,
Like him, must journey through.
The foes must be encountered,
The dangers must be passed;
Only a faithful soldier,
Receive the crown at last.
5 So I must hasten forwards,--
Thank God, the end will come!
This land of my sojourning
Is not my destined home.
That evermore abideth,
Jerusalem above,
The everlasting city,
The land of light and love.
6 There still my thoughts are dwelling,
'Tis there I long to be;
Come, Lord, and call Thy servant
To blessedness with Thee!
Come, bid my toils be ended,
Let all my wanderings cease;
Call from the wayside lodging
To the sweet home of peace.
7 There I shall dwell for ever,
No more a stranger guest,
With all Thy blood-bought children
In everlasting rest;
The pilgrim toils forgotten,
The pilgrim conflicts o'er,
All earthly griefs behind us,
Eternal joys before! Used With Tune: [A pilgrim and a stranger]
A pilgrim and a stranger
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Author: Sarah Flower Adams Appears in 2,553 hymnals Topics: Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
2 Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone;
yet in my dreams I'd be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer to Thee!
3 There let the way appear,
Steps unto heaven;
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
4 Then with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer to Thee!
5 Or if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly;
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer to Thee!
Used With Tune: BETHANY
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Thou art the Way: to Thee alone
Author: George W. Doane Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 613 hymnals Topics: Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Thou are the Way: to Thee alone
From sin and death we flee:
And he who would the Father seek,
Must seek Him, Lord, by Thee.
2 Thou art the Truth: Thy Word alone
Sound wisdom can impart;
Thou only canst inform the mind,
And purify the heart.
3 Thou art the Life: the rending tomb
Proclaims Thy conquering arm:
And those who put their trust in Thee,
Not death nor hell shall harm.
4 Thou are the Way, the Truth, the Life:
Grant us that Way to know,
That Truth to keep, that Life to win,
Whose joys eternal flow. Used With Tune: DEDHAM
Thou art the Way: to Thee alone
