We Love The Place, O God
Author: Sir H. W. Baker; W. Bullock Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 105 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We love the place, O God,
Wherein Thine honor dwelleth;
The joy of Thine abode
All earthly joy excelleth;
It is the house of prayer,
Wherein Thy servants meet;
And Thou, O Lord, art there
Thy chosen flock to greet.
2 We love Thine altar, Lord;
O what on earth is dearer?
For there, in faith adored,
We find Thy presence nearer;
We love the word of life,
The word that tells of peace,
Of comfort in the strife,
Of joys that never cease.
3 We love to sing below
For mercies freely given;
But most we long to know
The triumph song of heaven.
Lord Jesus, give us grace
On earth to love Thee more,
In heaven to see Thy face,
And with Thy saints adore.

O God, Thou faithful God
Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 63 hymnals 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.

How Can I Thank You, Lord
Author: David Denicke, 1603-80; August Crull, 1845-1923 Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How can I thank You, Lord,
For all Your loving-kindness,
That You have patiently
Borne with me in my blindness!
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.

O be my light, my lot,
My staff, my rock, my shield--
O God, forsake me not!
2 O God, forsake me not!
Take not Your Spirit from me;
Do not permit the might
Of sin to overcome me.
Increase my feeble faith,
Which You alone have wrought.

O God, forsake me not!
3 O God, forsake me not!
Lord, hear my supplication!
In ev'ry evil hour
Help me resist temptation;
And when the prince of hell
My conscience seeks to blot,
Be then not far from me--
O God, forsake me not!
4 O God, forsake me not!
Lord, I am Yours forever.
O keep me strong in faith
That I may leave You never.
Grant me a blessed end
When my good fight is fought;
Help me in life and death--
O God, forsake me not!

Most Gracious God and Lord
Author: Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf; Abraham von Gersdorf Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Most gracious God and Lord,
the world's almighty Savior,
worthy to be adored
by all, both now and ever!
Those souls are blessed indeed
who cling to you in faith,
as you for us were laid
low in the dust of death.
2 In you I trust by faith,
my Jesus, God and Savior;
on your atoning death
I shall rely forever.
Your suff'rings shall remain
deep on my heart impressed,
O Son of God and man,
till I with you shall rest.
3 Eternal thanks we sing,
great author of salvation,
who sinful hearts did bring
to heed your invitation.
We are your property.
O may we yours remain;
this is our only plea,
since you for us was slain. Topics: Christ; Christ--All in all; Christ--Atonement; Christ--Sacrifice of; Christian year--Lent; Faith; Salvation Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2 Used With Tune: O GOTT DU FROMMER GOTT Text Sources: Moravian tr. (1746-1748, recast 1801), alt.
