Jesus, Thy boundless Love to me

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 353 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy boundless Love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; Unite my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there. Thine wholly, Thine alone I am; Be Thou alone my constant flame. 2 O Love, how cheering is Thy ray! All pain before Thy presence flies: Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er Thy healing beams arise: O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek but Thee! 3 Unwearied, may I this pursue, Dauntless to the high prize aspire; Hourly within my soul renew This holy flame, this heavenly fire; And day and night be all my care To guard this sacred treasure there!

We give Thee but Thine own

Author: William Walsham How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 499 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 We give Thee but Thine own, Whate'er the gift may be: All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee. 2 May we Thy bounties thus As stewards true receive, And gladly, as Thou blessest us, To Thee our first fruits give. 3 O hearts are bruised and dead, And homes are bare and cold, And lambs, for whom the Shepherd bled, Are straying from the fold! 4 To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless Is angels' work below. 5 The captive to release, The lost to God to bring, To teach the way of life and peace,-- It is a Christ-like thing. 6 And we believe Thy Word, Though dim our faith may be; Whate'er we do for Thine, O Lord, We do it unto Thee.

Chief of sinners tho' I be

Author: William McComb Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Chief of sinners tho' I be, Jesus shed His blood for me; Died that I might live on high, Lived that I might never die. As the branch is to the vine, I am His and He is mine. 2 O the hight of Jesus' love! Higher than the heavens above, Deeper than the depths of sea, Lasting to eternity; Love that found me, wondrous thought! Found me when I sought Him not. 3 Jesus only can impart Balm to heal the smitten heart, Peace that flows from sin forgiven; Joy that lifts the soul to heaven; Faith and hope to walk with God In the way that Enoch trod. 4 Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me; All my wants to Him are known, All my sorrows are His own. Safe with Him from earthly strife He sustains the hidden life. 5 O my Savior! help afford, By Thy Spirit and Thy Word! When my wayward heart would stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Grace in time of need supply While I live and when I die. Used With Tune: DIX (Treuer Heiland, wir sind hier)
