How Firm a Foundation

Author: "K" Hymnal: Voices United #660 (1996) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Proper 12 Year A First Line: How firm a foundation, you servants of God Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, you servants of God, is laid for your faith in his excellent word! What more can be said than to you has been said, to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled? 2 "Fear not, I am with you; O be not dismayed! For I am your God and will still give you aid; I'll strengthen and help you, and cause you to stand, upheld by my righteous omnipotent hand. 3 "When through the deep waters I call you to go, the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; for I will be with you, your troubles to bless, and sanctify to you your deepest distress. 4 "When through fiery trials your pathway shall lie, my grace, all-sufficient, shall be your supply: the flame shall not hurt you, I only design your dross to consume, and your gold to refine. 5 "The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose I will not -- I will not desert to his foes; that soul, though all hell should endeavour to shake, I'll never -- no, never -- no, never forsake!"

Jesus, Priceless Treasure

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Franck Hymnal: Voices United #667 (1996) Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Topics: Proper 12 Year A Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless treasure, source of purest pleasure, truest friend to me; long my heart hath panted, till it well-nigh fainted, thirsting after thee. Thine I am, O spotless Lamb, I will suffer naught to hide thee, ask for naught beside thee. 2 In thine arms I rest me; foes who would molest me cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking, God dispels our fear; sin and hell in conflict fell with their heaviest storms assail us: Jesus will not fail us. 3 Hence, all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in: those who love the Father, though the storms may gather, still have peace within; yea, whate'er we here must bear, still in thee lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure!

How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Voices United #344 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Proper 12 Year C Lyrics: 1 How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear! It soothes the sorrows, heals the wounds, and drives away all fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, and calms the troubled breast; 'tis manna to the hungry soul, and to the weary, rest. 3 Dear Name! the rock on which I build, my shield and hiding-place, my never-failing treasury, filled with boundless stores of grace. 4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend, my Prophet, Priest, and King, my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, accept the praise I bring. 5 The effort of my heart is weak, and cold my warmest thought; but when I see you whom I seek, I'll praise you as I ought.

O Love, How Deep

Author: Benjamin Webb Hymnal: Voices United #348 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Proper 12 Year B First Line: O Love, how deep, how broad, how high! Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high! It fills the heart with ecstasy, that God, in Jesus Christ, should take our mortal form for mortals' sake. 2 God sent no angel to our race of higher or of lower place, but wore the robe of human frame, and freely to this lost world came. 3 For us he was baptized, and bore a holy fast, and hungered sore; for us temptations sharply knew; for us the tempter overthrew. 4 For us he prayed; for us he taught; for us great daily works were wrought, by words, and signs, and actions, thus still seeking not himself, but us. 5 For us to wicked foes betrayed, scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed, he bore the shameful cross and death; for us at length gave up his breath. 6 For us he rose from death again, for us he went on high to reign, for us he sent his Spirit here to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer. 7 To God whose boundless love has won salvation for us through the Son, to God all praise and glory be both now and through eternity.

Dear God, Who Loves All Humankind

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: Voices United #608 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Topics: Proper 12 Year B Lyrics: 1 Dear God, who loves all humankind, forgive our foolish ways; reclothe us in our rightful mind; in purer lives thy service find, in deeper reverence, 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. 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! 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. 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!
