O God, Thou faithful God

Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 61 hymnals Matching Instances: 11 Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God, Thou Fountain ever-flowing, Without whom nothing is, All perfect gifts bestowing; A pure and healthy frame O give me, and within A conscience free from blame, A soul unhurt by sin. 2 And grant me, Lord, to do, With ready heart and willing, Whate'er Thou shalt command, My calling here fulfilling, To do it when I ought, With all my strength, and bless The work I thus have wrought, For Thou must give success. 3 And let me promise naught But I can keep it truly, Abstain from idle words, And guard my lips e'er duly; And grant, when in my place I must and ought to speak, My words due power and grace, Nor let me wound the weak. 4 If dangers gather round, Still keep me calm and fearless; Help me to bear the cross, When life is dark and cheerless; To overcome my foe With words and actions kind; When counsel I would know, Good counsel let me find. 5 And let me be with all In peace and friendship living, As far as Christians may; And if Thou aught art giving Of wealth and honors fair, O this refuse me not, That naught be mingled there Of goods unjustly got. 6 And if a longer life Be here on earth decreed me, And Thou through many a strife To ripe old age wilt lead me, Thy patience in me shed, Avert all sin and shame, And crown my hoary head With pure, untarnished fame. 7 Let nothing here on earth Me from my Saviour sever; And when I die, O take My soul to Thee forever; And let my body have A little space to sleep Beside my kindred's grave, And o'er it vigil keep. 8 And when the Day is come, And all the dead are waking, O reach me down Thy hand, Thyself my slumbers breaking; Then let me hear Thy voice, And change this earthly frame, And bid me aye rejoice With those who love Thy name.

Lord Jesus, Who Art come

Fischer Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, who art come A Teacher sent from heaven And by both word and deed God's truth to us hast given. Thou wisely hast ordained The holy ministry That we, Thy flock, may know The way to God thro' Thee. 2 Thou hast, O Lord, returned, To God's right hand ascending; Yet Thou art in the world, Thy kingdom here extending. Thro' preaching of Thy Word In ev'ry land and clime Thy people's faith is kept Until the end of time. 3 O blessed ministry Of reconciliation, That shows the way to God And brings to us salvation! By Thine evangel pure, Lord, Thou preserv'st Thy fold, Dost call, enlighten, keep, Dost comfort and uphold. 4 Preserve this ministry While harvest-days are keeping; And since the fields are white And hands are few for reaping, Send workers forth, O Lord, The sheaves to gather in That not a soul be lost Which Thou art come to win. 5 The servants Thou hast called And to Thy Church art giving Preserve in doctrine pure And holiness of living. Thy Spirit fill their hearts, Endue their tongues with power; What they should boldly speak, Oh, give them in that hour! 6 Yea, bless Thy Word alway, Our souls forever feeding; And may we never lack A faithful shepherd's leading! Seek Thou the wandering sheep, Bind up the sore opprest, Lift up the fallen ones, And grant the weary rest. 7 Bring those into Thy fold Who still to Thee are strangers; Guard those who are within Against offense and dangers. Press onward with Thy Word Till pastor and his fold Through faith in Thee, O Christ, Thy glory shall behold. Amen.

When dead in many sins And trespasses I lay, I kindled, holy God, Your anger ev'ry day. 2 It is Your work alone That I am now converted; O'er Satan's work in me You have Your pow'r asserted. Your mercy and Your grace That rise afresh each morn Have turned my stony heart Into a heart newborn. 3 Lord, You have raised me up To joy and exultation And clearly shown the way That leads me to salvation. My sins are washed away; For this I thank You, Lord. Now with my heart and soul All evil I abhor. 4 Grant that Your Spirit's help To me be always given Lest I should fall again And lose the way to heaven. Grant that He give me strength In my infirmity; May He renew my heart To serve You willingly. 5 O Father, God of love, Now hear my supplication; O Savior, Son of God, Accept my adoration; O Holy Spirit, be My ever faithful guide That I may serve You here And there with You abide.
