Smile on your children, and with tender mercy
Hear our petitions.

O for a heart to praise my God
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,159 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:61 Lyrics: 1 O for a heart to praise my God,
a heart from sin set free;
a heart that's sprinkled with the blood
so freely shed for me:
2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
my great Redeemer's throne;
where only Christ is heard to speak,
where Jesus reigns alone:
3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart,
believing, true, and clean,
which neither life nor death can part
from him that dwells within:
4 A heart in every thought renewed,
and full of love divine;
perfect and right and pure and good —
a copy, Lord, of thine.
5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart,
come quickly from above;
write thy new name upon my heart,
thy new best name of Love. Topics: Lent I Year C; Lent III Year B; Proper 8 Year A; Proper 17 Year C Used With Tune: STOCKTON

O Jesus, fra det Høie
Author: Ludv. M. Bjørn Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:15-62 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, fra det Høie
Hid vende du dit Fjed,
Lad Naade for dit Øie
Ske vort Forsamlingsted.
O, Herre, kom at tage
Dit Sæde i vor Kreds,
Da krones vore Dage,
Da er vi fuldt tilfreds.
2 Ei Sten paa Sten der findes
Af Zions Tempels Pragt,
Ak, vel vi alle mindes
Hin Naadetids Foragt!
Ak, du vort Hjerte drage
ved Ordets tille Magt,
At aldrig vi skal tabe
Vor Daabes dyre Pagt!
3 O Herre, vær vor Styrke,
Led os paa rette Sti,
Lær os dig ret at dyrke,
lad Trængsel gaa forbi.
Her ved dit Huses Tærskel,
Der slaa vi os til Ro,
Herfra til Livets Færdsel
Gaa vi med styrket Tro!
4 Mit Hjerte, det skal sjunge
Til Herrens Miskunds Pirs,
Min Røst skal høres runge
Til Herrens paradis!
Thi Ynk for os sig rørte
I Herrens milde Sind;
Fra fremmed Sti han førte
Os til Gudsfolket ind!
5 Se, Porten nu er aaben,
O Brødre, Søstre kom!
Ak, hører Jesu naaden
Fra Himlens Helligdom;
Ei Nogen staa tilbage,
Men fly fra VredensDom,
Du Stærke, støt den Svage,
Og begge sammen kom!
6 Med Lov og Tak vi mindes,
Du Frelser, for os bad,
At Intet maatte findes,
Som skiller Hjerter ad!
Kom, Haand i Haand vi vandre
Den store Pilgrimsgang,
Indtil vi med hverandre
Istemme Lammets Sang.
7 O, snart, o snart han kommer,
Vor Sjæles Brudgom hid
Og gjør en liflig Sommer,
Af al vor Nød og Strid.
Med Jubel vi da ile
Ad Perleporten skjøn,
Hos Gud vi finde Hvile
I Huset hos hans Søn!
