Dog ret saa Overhaand!
Og se, hvor fuld din Urtegaard
Af Torn og Tidsel staar!
Din Vekst du har vel her,
Men, ak, hvor tynd den er!
Hvor lidet er dog Kraften kjendt
Af Ord og Sacrament!
2 O Jesus, Jesus, kom dog snart
At se din Vingaards Art!
Af Døbte vrimler Stad og Land
Men hvor er Troens Brand?
Hvad hjælper det, vi veed,
Du Døden for os led,
Naar vi ei staa mod Satans Værk
I Troen frisk og stærk?
3 O Helligaand, for dig, vor Skat
Vi græde Dag og Nat,
Kom, giv os samme Lys og Kraft,
Vor' Formænd før har havt.
Da Kristendommen stod
Som Træ med stærkest Rod
Og Krone fuld af Frugters Sne
Og Purpur! Lad det ske!
Ak Fader, lad dit Ord, din Aand
And can it be that I should gain
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 286 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday Before Advent Year B Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain
an interest in the Saviour's blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain?
For me, who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
2 'Tis mystery all: the Immortal dies!
Who can explore his strange design?
In vain the first-born seraph tries
to sound the depths of love divine.
'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
let angel minds enquire no more.
3 He left his Father's throne above —
so free, so infinite his grace —
emptied himself of all but love,
and bled for Adam's helpless race.
'Tis mercy all, immense and free;
for, O my God, it found out me!
4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature's night;
thine eye diffused a quickening ray;
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
my chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed thee.
5 No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living Head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach the eternal throne,
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:22 Used With Tune: SAGINA
And can it be that I should gain
And now, O Father, mindful of the love
Author: William Bright (1824-1901) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 92 hymnals Topics: The Third Sunday before Advent Year B Lyrics: 1 And now, O Father, mindful of the love
that bought us, once for all, on Calvary's tree,
and having with us him that pleads above,
we here present, we here spread forth to thee
that only offering perfect in thine eyes,
the one true, pure, immortal sacrifice.
2 Look, Father, look on his anointed face,
and only look on us as found in him;
look not on our misusings of thy grace,
our prayer so languid, and our faith so dim:
for lo, between our sins and their reward
we set the Passion of thy Son our Lord.
3 And then for those, our dearest and our best,
by this prevailing presence we appeal:
O fold them closer to thy mercy's breast,
O do thine utmost for their souls' true weal;
from tainting mischief keep them white and clear,
and crown thy gifts with strength to persevere.
4 And so we come: O draw us to thy feet,
most patient Saviour, who canst love us still;
and by this food, so aweful and so sweet,
deliver us from every touch of ill:
in thine own service make us glad and free,
and grant us never more to part with thee. Scripture: Hebrews 7:25 Used With Tune: UNDE ET MEMORES
And now, O Father, mindful of the love
Arise, the kingdom is at hand
Author: Miss Winkworth; John Rist Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Advent; Advent, First Sunday; Epiphany, Third Sunday Lyrics: 1 Arise, the kingdom is at hand,
The King is drawing nigh;
Arise with joy, ye faithful band,
To meet the Lord most high!
2 Look up, ye souls weighed down with care,
The Sovereign is not far;
Look up, faint hearts, from your despair,
Behold the morning star!
3 Look up, ye drooping hearts, to-day!
The King is very near:
O cast your griefs and fears away,
For lo, your Help is here!
4 Hope, O ye broken hearts, at last!
The King comes on in might:
He loved us in the ages past,
When we lay wrapt in night:
5 Now fear and wrath to joy give place,
Now are our sorrow o'er,
Since God hath made us in His grace
His children evermore.
6 O rich the gifts Thou bringest us,
Thyself made poor and weak;
O Love beyond compare that thus
Can foes and sinners seek!
7 For this we raise a gladsome voice,
On high to Thee alone,
And evermore with thanks rejoice
Before Thy glorious throne. Used With Tune: CHRISTMAS
Arise, the kingdom is at hand
As faithful shepherds of the Lord
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday in Advent For the Epistle Lyrics: 1 As faithful shepherds of the Lord
Must we accounted be,
Who minister and teach the word
With real sincerity.
2 No more the Lord himself requests
Than to be just and true,
And ever act as for the best
As far as we do know.
3 Though we are oft reproach'd & blam'd
When we do as we ought,
But O! the truth can ne'er be sham'd
Or to dishonor brought.
4 Our thoughts and actions all are known,
To him who judgeth right;
The Lord who knows whate'er is done
Brings all things to the light.
5 O let us then with patience wait!
And watch with humble pray'r,
Till God, whose ways are just and straight,
In righteousness appear. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 4:1-5

Be thou my guardian and my guide
Author: Isaac Williams, 1802-1865 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday Before Advent Year C Lyrics: 1 Be thou my guardian and my guide,
and hear me when I call;
let not my slippery footsteps slide,
and hold me lest I fall.
2 The world, the flesh, and Satan dwell
around the path I tread;
O save me from the snares of hell,
thou quickener of the dead.

and outward things are strong,
do thou, O Lord, keep watch within,

and feel that I am frail;
that if the tempter cross my way,
yet he may not prevail. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 Used With Tune: ABRIDGE

2 Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word,
be thou ever with me, and I with thee, Lord;
be thou my great Father, and I thy true son;
be thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.
3 Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight;
be thou my whole armour, be thou my true might;
be thou my soul's shelter, be thou my strong tower:
O raise thou me heavenward, great Power of my power.
4 Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise:
be thou mine inheritance now and always;
be thou and thou only the first in my heart;
O Sovereign of heaven, my treasure thou art.
5 High King of heaven, thou heaven's bright Sun,
O grant me its joys after victory is won;
great Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be thou my vision, O Ruler of all. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:24 Used With Tune: SLANE Text Sources: Irish, 8th century

Bryd frem, mit Hjertes Trang at lindre
Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday in Advent Lyrics: 1 Bryd frem, mit Hjertes Trang at lindre,
O arme Synd'res Dag og Sol!
Lad intet Forhæng mere hindre
Min Indgang til vor Naadestol,
Lad den dog ikke gaa i Blinde,
Som vil saa gjerne Lyset finde.
2 Du ene var og er og bliver
Den arme Verdens rige Trøst,
Det Vidnesbyrd Enhver dig giver,
Som kjender dig, vor Hjertens Lyst!
Saa stor er ingen Nød at finde,
Som ikke for din Kraft maa svinde.
3 Du gjør det, at de Døve høre,
De Blinde faar sit Syn igjen,
Den Halte friske Trin kan gjøre,
Spedalskhed viger for dig hen,
De Døde har du Aand og Livet
Og alle Andre Lædske givet.
4 Har du nu før saa vældig øvet
Dit Herredømmes store Magt,
Hvi gaar jeg da saa høit bedrøvet?
O Jesu! tag min Sjæl iagt;
Vis, at du er endnu den Samme,
Som Satans Vælde gjør til Skamme.
5 Du ser, hvordan vi gaa i Blinde,
Og sansse ei vor Sjælesag,
O, lad dog Naadens Lys oprinde,
Og gjør det i mit Hjerte Dag,
At jeg grandgivelig kan kjende
Den Vei, jeg gaar, og Veiens Ende.
6 Oplad og gjennembor mit Øre,
Blandt dine Tjenere at staa,
Som uophørlig gjerne gjøre,
Hvad du ved Ordet peger paa,
Ei aldrig andet foretage,
End hvad min Herre kan behage.
7 Jeg halter, snubler, gaar i Mørke,
Og støder an ved Lidt og Stort,
Ak, lad din Aand og store Styrke
Bekræfte mig og hjælpe fort,
Ret frem og faste Trin at gjøre,
Og aldrig lade mig forføre.
8 O, hva kan læge og fordrive
Den Synde-sygdom ond og led?
Det kan du, Jesu! kom at blive
Mig Visdom bliv mig Hellighed!
Din Død og Lærdom kan alene
Mod den fortvilte Jammer tjene.
9 Død er min Sjæl til alt det Gode,
Slet intet ved og mindre kan,
O, lad din Kraft den Skade bode,
Giv saadan Vilje og Forstand,
At jeg et dygtigt Træ maa være,
Som dig utallig Frugt kan bære.
10 Jeg fattig er og fuld af Plage,
O naaderige Jesu! kom,
Og lad mit arme Hjerte smage
Dit søde Evangelium,
At jeg endogsaa her i Live
Maa derved rig og salig blive.
Bryd frem, mit Hjertes Trang at lindre

and stamped the day for ever his.

that all may see his love displayed,
may feel his resurrection's power,
and rise again, to fall no more,
in perfect righeousness renewed,
and filled with all the life of God.

and fill his courts with songs of praise.

Hither by Thy help I'm come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
3 Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious Blood.
4 O, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.

Prone to leave the God I love;

Seal it from Thy courts above. Used With Tune: BATTY

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. Used With Tune: FREU DICH SEHR, O MEINE SEELE

forgive our foolish ways!
Re-clothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper rev'rence praise,
in deeper rev'rence praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word
rise up and follow thee,
rise up and follow thee.
3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love!
Interpreted by love!
4 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace,
the beauty of thy peace.
5 Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind and fire,
O still small voice of calm!
O still small voice of calm! Scripture: 1 Kings 19:9-18 Used With Tune: REPTON
Dear Lord and Father of mankind
