Selnecker Appears in 55 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Fifth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fifth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Let me be Thine forever, My gracious God and Lord, May I forsake Thee never, Nor wander from Thy word: Preserve me from the mazes Of error and distrust, And I shall sing Thy praises Forever with the just. 2 Lord Jesus! bounteous giver Of light and life divine, Thou didst my soul deliver, To Thee I all resign; Thou hast in mercy bought me With blood and bitter pain; Let me, since Thou hast sought me, Eternal life obtain. 3 O Holy Ghost, who pourest Sweet peace into my heart, And all my soul restorest, Let not Thy grace depart. And while His name confessing Whom I in faith have known, Grant me Thy constant blessing; Make me for aye Thine own. Used With Tune: [Let me be Thine forever]

Jesus Christ, my sure defense

Author: Anon. Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure defense And my Savior, ever liveth; Knowing this; my confidence Rests upon the hope it giveth, Though the night of death be fraught Still with many an anxious thought. 2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives! I, too, unto life shall waken: He will have me where He is; Shall my courage then be shaken? Shall I fear? Or can the Head Rise and leave its members dead? 3 Nay, too closely am I bound Unto Him by hope for ever; Faith's strong hand the rock hath found, Grasped it, and will leave it never; Not the ban of death can part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4 I shall see God with these eyes, Shall behold my blessed Savior; I, the selfsame, shall arise, In my flesh see god forever; Then shall wholly disappear Frailties that oppress me here. 5 What now sickens, mourns, and sighs, Christ with Him in glory bringeth: Earthly is the seed and dies, Heavenly from the grave it springeth. Glorified we then shall rise To our mansion in the skies. 6 Savior, draw away our heart Now from pleasures base and hollow, Let us there with Thee have part, Here on earth Thy footsteps follow. Fix our hearts beyond the skies, Whither we ourselves would rise. Used With Tune: [Jesus Christ, my sure defense]

Tegn skal der ske for Dommedag

Author: Grundtvig Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity Sunday High Mass; Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity Sunday For Evening; Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity Sunday For Evening Lyrics: 1 Tegn skal der ske for Dommedag Vaade i Sol, og i Maane, Da under Dybets Bølgeslag Vrimlen af folkene daane, Og før den Slægt er sovet hen, Kommer vor Herre selv igjen, Dødes og Levendes Dommer. 2 Verden er stolt af største Kløgt, Siger, den Alt har ransaget, Himmelens Kræfter undersøgt, Slet ingen Fare opdaget; Men det er Verdens gamle Skik, Tryggest den sov, da den forgik Fordum i Syndflodens Vande. 3 Himmel og Jord de skal forgaa, Som de er nu at beskue! Sandhedens Ord det skal bestaa, Trods Elementernes Lue, Møde vi Herren skal i Sky, Himmel og Jord da gjøres ny, Sandhed og Kjærlighed seire!

Hvor deilig skal Guds Kirke staa

Author: Kingo Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #484 (1919) Topics: Fifth Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 Hvor deilig skal Guds Kirke staa, Og i hans Aasyn Ynde faa, Naar alle Hjerter knytted' er Udi eet Sind og een Begjær: At elske ham og blive ved At vandre frem i Kjærlighed! 2 Hvad er vort Væsen, om vi ei Gaa Kjærligheds den rene Vei, Og broderlig hinanden vil Al velment Troskab byde til Med sligt et Hjerte og Attraa, Som Gud stod hos og saa derpaa? 3 Bort Vrede, Skjeldsord, daarlig Harm! I bør ei huses i dem Barm, Hvor Gud til Fred og salig Ro Vil, sin Velsignelse skal bo: Bort derfor alt, hvad skade kan Og hindre Enigheds Forstand! 4 Gid Tunge, Læber, Sind og Mund De kunde ret af Hjertens Grund Forsage Trædskhed, List og Svig, Og gjøre sig et Himmerig Udaf den søde Venskabs Fred Med hver Mand i Guds Kjærlighed! 5 Guds Øie ser dog al vor Daad, Vor Tanke, Paafund, Hjertens Raad; De Onde gaa ham ei forbi Paa deres Ondskabs skjulte Sti, Han ogsaa paa de Fromme ser, Al Hjælp og Naade han dem ter. 6 Min Sjæl, agt derfor lidet om Den Trusel, Had og Vrede, som Dig Verdens Børn kan lægge paa, Den skal saa snar en Vending faa, Gaa du kun frem paa Fredens Vei, Og agt al Verdens Tummel ei! 7 O søde Gud, o gid jeg maa Mit Hjerte ved dig dannet faa, At du kan heliges i mig, Til jeg dig ser i Himmerig, Hvor hellig, hellig, hellig da Jeg synger med Halleluja!

Vor Brudgom op er standen Og kommer med en Fart, Op, vaager med hinanden, Nu erdet Midnat snart! 2 Hver gjøre Lampen færdig, At I kan rede staa Og vorde agtet værdig, Med Brudgommen at gaa; Thi Zions Vægtre raabe: Vor Brudgom nu er nær, O, møder ham tilhobe I Troens Frydefærd! 3 I Jomfruer, saa mange, Som ere ved Forstand, O kommer, ud at gange Imod vor Frelsermand! Ser Himlens aabne Porte Og Brylluppet bered! Han ikke langt er borte, Som hedder Zions Fred! 4 Ser op, gaar ham imøde, Han er, nu er han her! Ser Træets Topper gløde, Saa er vor sommer nær! Ser, hvor saa klart frembryder Den røde Aftensky, Som os den Dag betyder, Naar al vor Nat maa fly! 5 Bort derfor, Søvnens Taage! Hvo vaager, han er vis. Enhver, som ei vil vaage, Skal føle Vredens Ris, Fordærvelse og Plage; Thi alle Vredens kar For evig da skal smage Den Helvedpine svar. 6 Men møder ham, I Fromme, Med Fryd og Glædes Lyd! Vor Sorrigs Tid er omme, Til Klagen Afsked byd! O, ser dog Frydestunden, Som bærer Kronen from, Nu er den snart oprunden, Nu hentes Bruden hjem! 7 I, som med Jesus lider I denne Grædedal, Skal efter Sorgens Tider Faa Fryd i Himlens Sal, Med ham I skal regjere,– Hvo kan vel det forstaa?– Og evig triumfere Med Ærens Krone paa. 8 O Jesus, lad det komme Dog snart dertil engang, At alle dine Fromme Maa mode dig med Sang! Gjør, Jesus, snart en Ende Paa dines haarde Strid, Og lad min Lampe brænde Til min Forløsningstid! Languages: Norwegian

Hassler Topics: The Church Year Fifth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fifth Sunday after Trinity Composer of "[Let me be Thine forever]" in The Lutheran Hymnary Hans Leo Hassler Germany 1564-1612. Born at Nuremberg, Germany, he came from a family of famous musicians and received early education from his father. He then studied in Venice, Italy, with Andrea Gabrieli, uncle of Giovanni Gabrieli, his friend, with whom he composed a wedding motet. The uncle taught him to play the organ. He learned the polychoral style and took it back to Germany after Andrea Gabrieli's death. He served as organist and composer for Octavian Fugger, the princely art patron of Augsburg (1585-1601). He was a prolific composer but found his influence limited, as he was Protestant in a still heavily Catholic region. In 1602 he became director of town music and organist in the Frauenkirche in Nuremberg until 1608. He married Cordula Claus in 1604. He was finally court musician for the Elector of Saxony in Dresden, Germany, evenually becoming Kapellmeister (1608-1612). A Lutheran, he composed both for Roman Catholic liturgy and for Lutheran churches. He produced two volumns of motets, a famous collection of court songs, and a volume of simpler hymn settings. He published both secular and religious music, managing to compose much for the Catholic church that was also usable in Lutheran settings. He was also a consultant to organ builders. In 1596 he, with 53 other organists, had the opportunity to examine a new instrument with 59 stops at the Schlosskirche, Groningen. He was recognized for his expertise in organ design and often was called on to examine new instruments. He entered the world of mechanical instrument construction, developing a clockwork organ that was later sold to Emperor Rudolf II. He died of tuberculosis in Frankfurt, Germany. John Perry

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Topics: The Church Year Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity Author of "Jesus Christ, my sure defense" in The Lutheran Hymnary In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
