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

There is a land of pure delight

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,418 hymnals Topics: Sixth Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Eternal day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. There everlasting spring abides, And never-with'ring flowers: Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heav’nly land from ours. 2 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood, Stand dressed in living green: So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. But tim'rous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea; And linger, shivering, on the brink, And fear to launch away. 3 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy thoughts that rise, And view the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes! Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o’er, Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood, Should fright us from the shore. Used With Tune: VARINA

The saints on earth and those above

Author: Isaac Watts; Charles Wesley Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Sixth Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 The saints on earth and those above But one communion make; Joined to their Lord, in bonds of love, All of His grace partake. 2 One family, we dwell in Him, One church above, beneath; Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death. 3 One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of the host have crossed the flood, And part are crossing now. 4 Lo! thousands to their endless home Are swiftly borne away; And we are to the margin come, And soon must launch as they. 5 Lord Jesus! be our constant Guide! Then when the word is given, Bid death’s flood its waves divide, And land us safe in heaven. Used With Tune: MEAR

I know whom I believe in

Author: Ernst Moritz Arndt Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Sixth Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 I know whom I believe in, I know what firm abides, When all around me fading Away like vapor glides. I know what lasts forever, When all things shake and fall, When wit the wise forsaketh, And craft doth craft forestall. 2 It is the Light of Glory; It is my Jesus, King; It is the Rock I stand on; It is of this I sing. He never more shall fail me, Deliv'rer, Shepherd mine, He lighteth all my darkness, He makes my path to shine. 3 He whom blood-stained they buried In the still twilight hour, He whom God waked from slumber, He who arose in power: He for my guilt atoneth, To me His Spirit gives, Me with His grace He crowneth: I live because He lives. 4 I know what I believe in, I know what standeth fast, And what, when earth shall crumble, Uncrumbled, still shall last; Through sorrow it bides with me, Mine when to death I bow, In heaven it will assure me A crown to deck my brow. Used With Tune: WEBB (Goodwin)

O Morning Star! how fair and bright

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Philipp Nicolai Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Sixth Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 O Morning Star! how fair and bright Thou beamest forth in truth and light; O Sov'reign meek and lowly, Thou Root of Jesse, David's Son, My Lord and Bridegroom, Thou hast won My heart to serve Thee solely! Holy art Thou, Fair and glorious, all victorious, Rich in blessing, Rule and might o'er all possessing. 2 Thou Heavenly Brightness! Light Divine! O deep within my heart now shine, And make Thee there an altar! Fill me with joy and strength to be Thy member, ever joined to Thee In love that cannot falter; Toward Thee longing Doth possess me; turn and bless me, For Thy gladness Eye and heart here pine in sadness. 3 But if Thou look on me in love, There straightway falls from God above A ray of purest pleasure; Thy Word and Spirit, flesh and blood, Refresh my soul with heavenly food, Thou art my hidden treasure; Let Thy grace, Lord, Warm and cheer me, O draw near me; Thou hast taught us Thee to seek, since Thou hast sought us! 4 Here will I rest, and this hold fast: The Lord I love is First and Last, The End as the Beginning! Here I can calmly die, for Thou Wilt raise me where Thou swellest now, Above all tears, all sinning; Amen! Amen! Come, Lord Jesus, soon release us; With deep yearning, Lord, we look for Thy returning! Used With Tune: NICOLAI (WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET DER MORGENSTERN)
