Comfort, comfort ye my people

Author: Miss Cath. Winkworth; John Olearius (Oelschlaeger) Meter: 8.7.7.8 Appears in 128 hymnals Topics: Twentieth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort now my people, Speak ye peace, thus saith our God; Comfort those who sit in darkness, Mourning 'neath their sorrows’ load; Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover, And her warfare now is over. 2 For the Herald’s voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance, Since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way! Let the valleys rise to meet Him, And the hills bow down to greet Him. 3 Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain: Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign; For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token, That His word is never broken.

When all Thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 1,013 hymnals Topics: Twentieth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 3 When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. 4 Ten thousand, thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy. 5 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds The glorious theme renew. 6 Through all eternity, to Thee A grateful song I'll raise; But oh! eternity's too short To utter all Thy praise.

When rising from the bed of death

Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 260 hymnals Topics: Twentieth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 When rising from the bed of death, O’erwhelmed with guilt and fear, I see my Maker face to face, O how shall I appear? 2 If yet, while pardon may be found, And mercy may be sought, My heart with inward horror shrinks, And trembles at the thought: 3 When Thou, O Lord, shalt stand disclosed In majesty severe, And sit in judgment on my soul, O how shall I appear? 4 But Thou hast told the troubled mind, Who does her sins lament, Of Him who suffered unto death, Her sufferings to prevent. 5 Then never shall my soul despair Her pardon to procure, Who knows Thine only Son has died to make her pardon sure.

O Christ, our true and only Light

Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Twentieth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light, Illumine those who sit in night; Let those afar now hear Thy voice And in Thy fold with us rejoice. 2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace The souls now lost in error's maze; And all whom in their secret minds Some dark delusion haunts and blinds. 3 And all who else have strayed from Thee, Oh gently seek! Thy healing be To every wounded conscience given, And let them share the peace of heaven. 4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word, And help the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 5 Shine on the darkened and the cold; Recall those wandered from Thy fold. Unite all those who walk apart, Confirm the weak and doubting heart, 6 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wondering thanks adore And endless praise to Thee be given By all Thy Church in earth and heaven.

Oh let us, freely tasting, Our burning thirst assuage! Thy sweetness never wasting, Avails from age to age. 3 Jesus, this feast receiving, We Thee unseen adore; Thy faithful word believing, We take, and doubt no more: Give us, Thou true and loving, On earth to live in Thee; Then, death the veil removing, Thy glorious face to see!

O Lord, my soul convicted stands

Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Twentieth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my soul convicted stands Of breaking all Thy Ten Commands: And on me justly might'st Thou pour Thy wrath in one eternal shower. 2 But thanks to God, its loud alarms Have warned me of approaching harms And now, O Lord, my wants I see; Lost and undone I come to Thee! 3 I know my worthless righteousness Can ne'er Thy broken law redress, Yet in the Gospel plan I see, There's hope of pardon e'en for me. 4 There I hold with wonder, Lord! That Christ hath to Thy Law restored Those honors on th' atoning day, Which guilty sinners took away. 5 Amazing wisdom, power, and love! Displayed to rebels from above! Do Thou, O Lord, my faith increase To love and trust Thy plan of grace. Used With Tune: HURSLEY Text Sources: Anon. Reformed Church Hymnal, New York, 1814
