O that the Lord would guide my ways
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 390 hymnals Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O that the Lord would guide my ways
To keep His statutes still!
O that my God would grant me grace
To know and do His will!
2 Order my footsteps by Thy Word
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.
3 Assist my soul, too apt to stray,
A stricter watch to keep;
And should I e'er forget Thy way,
Restore Thy wandering sheep.
4 Make me to walk in Thy commands;
'Tis a delightful road:
Nor let my head, or heart, or hands,
Offend against my God. Scripture: Psalm 119 Used With Tune: WOLVERHAMPTON
O that the Lord would guide my ways
Grace! 'tis a charming sound
Author: Doddridge Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 848 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Grace! 'tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear!
Heaven 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 taught 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. Used With Tune: DOVER
Grace! 'tis a charming sound
Thy ceaseless, unexhausted Love
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 116 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Thy ceaseless, unexhausted Love,
Unmerited and free,
Delights our evil to remove,
And help our misery.
2 Thou waitest to be gracious still;
Thou dost with sinners bear;
That, saved, we may Thy goodness feel,
And all Thy grace declare.
3 Thy goodness and Thy truth, to me,
To every soul abound;
A vast unfathomable sea,
Where all our thoughts are drowned.
4 Its streams the whole creation reach,
So plenteous is the store;
Enough for all, enough for each,
Enough for evermore.
5 Faithful, O Lord, Thy mercies are,
A rock that cannot move:
A thousand promises declare
Thy constancy of love.
6 Throughout the universe it reigns,
Unalterably sure;
And, while the truth of God remains,
His goodness must endure. Used With Tune: STOCKTON
Thy ceaseless, unexhausted Love
O hvilken Ære
Author: Brorson Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #166 (1919) Topics: Twenty third Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 O hvilken Ære,
For Tanken alt for stor,
Hans Barn at være,
Som i det Høie bor!
Naar man er bleven
Til Herren ret omvendt,
Fra Verden reven,
Med Jesus ret bekjendt,
I Himlen skreven
Med Lammets røde Prent!
2 O hvilket Smykke
Fra Himlene er det,
O hvilken Lykke
Er denne Barneret!
Naar, hvad os skader,
Vi kan for Thronen gaa,
Og sige: Fader,
dit Barn du hjælpe maa!
O Gud, hvor lader
Det deilig der at staa!
3 Hvo kan udsige,
Hvad Kristi Kraft formaar,
Naar Himlens Rige
I Sjælen ret opgaar!
Naar i mig brænder
Men Jesu Kjærlighed,
Og mig omspender
Som Himlen selv saa bred,
Hvor jeg mig vender
Og tænker op og ned!
4 O, jeg har fundet
Lyksalighedens Stand,
Og sødt forvundet
Min første Jødsels Band!
O hvor fornøiet
Er nu min arme Sjæl,
Før dybt nedbøiet
Til Jorden som en Træl,
Nu høit ophøiet
Med sin Immanuel!
5 O surt fortjente
Min Sjæles Frydestund!
O søde Rente
Af Jesu Pinsels Pund!
Er Førstegrøden
Saa meget sød og kjær,
Hvad Engle-Føden,
Som mig skal times der,
Naar efter Døden
Jeg rigtig hjemme er!
6 Naar jeg skal tage
Mod Dødens sidste Bud,
Da kan jeg drage
Med Glæde til min Gud,
Hans Haand skal lindre
Mig Dødens Kamp og Sved,
Hvad kan det hindre,
At Støvet falder ned,
Hist skal det tindre
I evig Herlighed!

O hvilken Ære
Kom, Brødre, lad os haste
Author: Gerh. Terstegen; Schwarzkopf Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #252 (1919) Topics: Twenty third Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 Kom Brødre! lad os haste,
Vor Aften kommer nær,
Vi Verden fra os kaste,
Og alt, som hefter her;
Kom, lad os fatte Mod
I Aandens Kraft at vandre
Til Himlen med hverandre,
Saa blir vor Ende god!
2 Det skal os ei fortryde,
Den trange Vei at gaa,
Gud vil sig selv tilbyde,
Og trofast med os staa;
Hann giver Liv og Lyst,
Han lokker, vederkvæger,
Han styrker, føder, læger
Vor Sjal med Ordets Trøst.
3 Kom, lad os kjærlig vandre
Og lægge Haand i Haand,
Og holde af hverandre
I dette Trængsels Land!
Som Børn vi være maa,
Paa Veien ikke stride,
Guds Engle ved vor Side
Som vore Brødre gaa.
4 De Stærkere de Svage
Skal hjælpe frem, vi saa
Hverandre bære, drage
I kjærligt Samlag maa.
Fremad da fort, enhver
Sig selv for intet agte,
Men kun derefter tragte,
At Gud ham alting er!
5 Nu frisk dertil, I Fromme!
Vor Vei den knapper af,
Den Dag saa snart kan komme,
Man bær os til vor Grav;
Endnu lidt mere tro,
Endnu lidt mere vakker,
Det ud ad Aften lakker,
Saa faar, saa faar vi Ro!
6 Det kan ei længe vare,
Hold kun et Lidet ud,
Saa skal vi hjemad fare
Til Himlen, til vor Gud.
Vær glad og vel bered!
Naar vi med alle Fromme
Hjem til vor Fader komme,
Tænk, hvilken Salighed!
7 O Ven, o du Udkaarne,
Vor Sjæles Himmerig,
Du evige Enbaarne!
Vi længes efter dig,
Vi rose os i dig,
Vor Lyst, vor sol, vor Ære,
Vi ønske kun at være
Hos dig evindelig!

Aand og Naade, Mund og Mæle
Til at redde mange Sjæle!

Alle, hver udi sin Stand,

Derved Landets Gavn forøge!

Alt til Himlen med hverandre!

Vær de Unges Fryd og Lyst!
Giv enhver i Enkesæde
Og de Faderløse Trøst!
Giv de Arme Opholds-Brod,
Sval de bange Sjæles Nød,
Giv de Uomvendte baade
Ret at se og søge Naade!
5 Læg de Syge, læsk de Svage,
Løs, o Gud, de Bundnes Baand!
Hjælp enhver sit Kors at tage,
Styrk os med din gode Aand!
Lad os, hvor vi staar og gaar,
Naar vor sidste Time slaar,
Salig gjennem Døden stige
Ind til dig i Himmerige!

George Herbert
1593 - 1633 Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Author of "Teach me, my God and King" in Church Book Herbert, George, M.A., the fifth son of Richard Herbert and Magdalen, the daughter of Sir Richard Newport, was born at his father's seat, Montgomery Castle, April 3, 1593. He was educated at Westminster School, and at Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating B.A. in 1611. On March 15, 1615, he became Major Fellow of the College, M.A. the same year, and in 1619 Orator for the University. Favoured by James I., intimate with Lord Bacon, Bishop Andrewes, and other men of influence, and encouraged in other ways, his hopes of Court preferment were somewhat bright until they were dispelled by the deaths of the Duke of Richmond, the Marquis of Hamilton, and then of King James himself. Retiring into Kent, he formed the resolution of taking Holy Orders. He was appointed by the Bishop of Lincoln to the Prebend of Lcighton Ecclesia and to the living of Leighton Bromswold, Hunts, July 15, 1626. He remained until 1629, when an attack of ague obliged him to remove to his brother's, house at Woodford, Essex. Not improving in health at Woodford, he removed to Dantsey, in Wiltshire, and then as Rector to Bemerton, to which he was inducted, April 26, 1630, where he died Feb. 1632. The entry in the register of Bemerton is "Mr. George Herbert, Esq., Parson of Foughleston and Bemerton, was buried 3 day of March 1632."
His life, by Izaak Walton, is well known; another Memoir, by Barnabas Oley, is forgotten. Herbert's prose work, Priest to the Temple, appeared several years after his death: but The Temple, by which he is best known, he delivered to Nicholas Ferrar (q.v.), about three weeks before his death, and authorized him to publish it if he thought fit. This was done iu 1633. The work became popular, and the 13th edition was issued in 1709. It is meditative rather than hymnic in character, and was never intended for use in public worship. In 1697 a selection from The Temple appeared under the title Select Hymns Taken out of Mr. Herbert's Temple & turned into the Common Metre To Be Sung In The Tunes Ordinarily us'd in Churches. London, Parkhurst, 1697. In 1739, J. & C. Wesley made a much more successful attempt to introduce his hymns into public worship by inserting over 40 in a much-altered form in their Hymns & Sacred Poems. As some few of these came into their collection of Psalms & Hymns, 1741, revised 1743, they were long sung by the Methodists, but do not now form part of the Wesleyan Hymn Book. No further attempt seems to have been made to use the Temple poems as hymns until 1853, when some altered and revised by G. Rawson were given in the Leeds Hymn Book of that year. From that time onward more attention was paid to Herbert alike by Churchmen and Nonconformists, and some of his hymns are now widely accepted. Many editions of his works have been published, the most popular being that of the Rev. Robert Aris Wilmott, Lond., Geo. Routledge & Son, 1857; but Dr. Grosart's privately printed edition issued in his Fuller Worthies Library in 1874, in three volumes, is not only the most complete and correct, but included also his psalms not before reprinted, and several poems from a ms. in the Williams Library, and not before published. The Temple has also been pub¬lished in facsimile by Elliott Stock, 1876, with preface by Dr. Grosart; and in ordinary type, 1882, by Wells Gardner, with preface by J. A. Shorthouse.
The quaintness of Herbert's lyrics and the peculiarity of several of their metres have been against their adoption for congregational purposes. The best known are: "Let all the world in every corner sing"; "My stock lies dead, and no increase"; "Throw away Thy rod"; "Sweet day, so cool, so calm"; and "Teach me, my God, and King." [William T. Brooke]
