Grace! 'tis a charming sound

Heav'n with the echo shall resound, And all the earth shall hear. 2 Grace first contrived the way To save rebellious man; And all the steps that grace display Which drew the wondrous plan. 3 Grace led my roving feet To tread the heavenly road; And new supplies, each hour, I meet, While pressing on to God. 4 Grace all the work shall crown, Through everlasting days; It lays in heaven the topmost stone, And well deserves the praise.

Op, vaag og bed

Author: Brorson Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Twenty second Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 Op, vaag og bed, Min Sjæl! du veed Dig ellers ikke sikker, At du kunde drages ned I den Ondes Strikker. 2 Brug Ordets Magt, Giv nøie Agt Paa Hjertet, hvor det vanker, Lær at holde hellig Vagt Over dine Tanker! 3 At følge smukt Guds Naades Tugt, Naar Aanden dig vil minde, Holder Verden udelukt, Hjerte-Freden inde. 4 Et lidet Gran Af Surdeig kan Al Deigen gjemmensyre, Kommer Gnisten først i Brand, Er den ond at styre. 5 En Tanke, som I Hjertet kom, Og som man lidt lod raade, Har saa tidt gjort Sjælen tom Paa Guds søde Naade. 6 De Sjælesaar, Som Satan slaar, Gaar ind ad skjulte Gange, Hvo, som ei paa Vagten staar, Vorder snart hans Fange. 7 Vor onde Art Optændes snart Af det, vi se og høre, Blir en syndig Tanke spart, Er han inden Døre. 8 Et syndigt Ord I Adam for, Det lagde Verden øde, Det haar voldt det Sjælemord, Hvorved alle døde. 9 Alt dette veed Forfarenhed Hos alle Guds Udvalgte; Jesus raaber: Vaag og bed, Om du ei vil falde! 10 Op, op paa Vagt Af ganske Magt, Og vaag med alle Fromme! Vaager, som Guds Søn har sagt, Til I se ham komme!

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 844 hymnals Topics: liturgical Scripture Songs Lyrics: 1. Hail to the Lord's Anointed, great David's greater Son! Hail in the time appointed, his reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, to set the captive free; to take away transgression, and rule in equity. 2. He comes with succor speedy to those who suffer wrong; to help the poor and needy, and bid the weak be strong; to give them songs for sighing, their darkness turn to light, whose souls, condemned and dying, are precious in his sight. 3. He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth; love, joy, and hope, like flowers, spring in his path to birth. Before him on the mountains, shall peace, the herald, go, and righteousness, in fountains, from hill to valley flow. 4. To him shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend; his kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never his covenant remove; his name shall stand forever; that name to us is love. The United Methodist Hymnal

I came to Jesus and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in Him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, I am this dark world’s Light; Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright. I looked to Jesus, and I found In Him, my Star, my Sun; And in that Light of life I’ll walk, Till traveling days are done. Used With Tune: VOX DILECTI

Kom, Hjerte, tag dit Regnebræt

Author: Brorson Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Twenty second Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 Kom, Hjerte, tag dit Regnebræt, Skriv op dit Lives Dage, Se til, at du kan sanse ret Og tænke lidt tilbage! Hvad har du gjort de mange Aar, Du har i Verden levet? Tænk, sikre Sjæl, at al Ting staar I Herrens Bog opskrevet! 2 Vel løber Tiden hastig hen, Og bliver evig borte; Men det vil komme vist igjen, Hvad du i Tiden gjorde, Naar Gud engang til Dommen vil Den ganske Verden sanke, Og der skal nøie svares til Hver Gjerning, Ord og Tanke. 3 Hvor mangt et slemt og daarligt Ord I lystig Samling vanker, Der siden bliver Spyd og Mord I de Fordømtes Tanker! Hvo gruer ei at tænke paa De mange blodig' Bander, Hvormed de Store og de Smaa Hvert andet Ord indblander! 4 Hvor skjules mangen Svig og List I Hjertets fule Gjemme, Og arge Lysters onde Gnist, Som ingen kan fornemme! Da tænker du, det er forglemt, Den Sag har ingen Fare; Men Gud har vist sin Dag bestemt, Som sligt skal aabenbare. 5 Det blev for langt at melde om Den synlig' Syndens Mængde, Som man, uagtet Vredens Dom Og Evighedens Længde, Til Guds Fortørnelse begaar, Og ei een Gang vil vide, At alle Uomvendte faar Til evig Tid at lide. 6 Betænk, betænk, hvor hastig gik De andre Naade-Dage! Hvad, om der ei var Øieblik Nu mer for dig tilbage! Men er der og en liden Stund For dig endnu i Vente, Saa tænk, du har saa stort et Pund, Og end slet ingen Rente. 7 Fald ned med ydmyg Hjertens Bod For Naadens Stol og Throne, Og bed, at Gud for Jesu Blod Vil lade sig forsone, At du Herefter bedre maa Din Naade-Tid anvende, Og ved dit Lives Aften faa En sød og salig Ende!

Sweet is the memory of Thy grace

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 234 hymnals Topics: Twenty Second Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the memory of Thy grace, My God, my heavenly King! Let age to age Thy righteousness In sounds of glory sing. 2 God reigns on high, but ne'er confines His goodness to the skies; Through the whole earth His bounty shines, And every want supplies. 3 With longing eyes Thy creatures wait On Thee for daily food; Thy liberal hand provides their meat, And fills their mouths with good. 4 How kind are Thy compassions, Lord! How slow Thine anger moves! But soon He sends His pardoning word, To cheer the souls He loves. 5 Creatures with all their endless race, Thy power and praise proclaim; But saints, who taste Thy richer grace, Delight to bless Thy Name.

I bring my guilt to Jesus, To wash my crimson stains White, in His Blood most precious, Till not a spot remains. 2 I lay my wants on Jesus; All fullness dwells in Him; He heals all my diseases, He doth my soul redeem. I lay my griefs on Jesus, My burdens and my cares; He from them all releases, He all my sorrows shares. 3 I long to be like Jesus, Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus, The Father's holy Child; I long to be with Jesus, Amid the heavenly throng, To sing with saints His praises, To learn the angels' song.

And shall we still be slaves

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Twenty Second Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 And shall we still be slaves, And in our fetters lie, When summoned by a voice divine T'assert our liberty? 2 Did Christ the Saviour bleed, Our freedom to obtain? And shall we trample on His blood, And glory in our chain? 3 Shall we go on to sin, Because His grace abounds; Or crucify the Lord again, And open all His wounds? 4 Forbid it, mighty God! Nor let it e'er be said That those, for whom Thy Son has died, In vice are lost and dead. Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS
