Souls in heathen darkness lying
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #489 (1908) Topics: Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Souls in heathen darkness lying,
Where no light has broken through,
Souls that Jesus bought by dying,
Whom His soul in travail knew;
Thousand voices, thousands voices
Call us, o'er the waters blue.
2 Christians, hearken! None has taught them
Of His love so deep and dear;
Of the precious price that bought them;
Of the nail, the thorn, the spear;
Ye who know Him,
Guide them from their darkness drear.
3 Haste, oh, haste, and spread the tidings,
Wide to earth's remotest strand;
Let no brother's bitter chidings
Rise against us, when we stand
In the Judgment,
From some far, forgotten land.
4 Lo! the hills for harvest whiten,
All along each distant shore;
Seaward far the islands brighten;
Light of nations! lead us o'er;
When we seek them,
Let Thy Spirit go before.

Souls in heathen darkness lying
Behold, where in a mortal form
Author: William Enfield Hymnal: Church Book #151 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Behold, where in a mortal form
Appears each grace divine!
The virtues, all in Jesus met,
With mildest radiance shine.
2 To spread the rays of heavenly light,
To give the mourner joy,
To preach glad tidings to the poor,
Was His divine employ.
3 'Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn,
Patient and meek He stood.
His foes, ungrateful, sought His life;
He labored for their good.
4 In the last hours of deep distress,
Before His Father's throne,
With soul resigned He bowed, and said,
"Thy will, not mine, be done!"
5 Be Christ our Pattern and our Guide!
His image may we bear!
O may we tread His holy steps,
His joys and glory share! Languages: English Tune Title: TALLIS' ORDINAL

God is love: His mercy brightens
Author: Sir John Bowring, LL. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #171 (1908) Topics: Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 God is love: His mercy brightens
All the path in which we rove;
Bliss He wakes, and woe He lightens:
God is Wisdom, God is Love.
2 Time and change are busy ever,
Man decays and ages move;
But His mercy waneth never;
God is wisdom, God is love.
3 E'en the hour that darkest seemeth,
Will His changeless goodness prove;
From the gloom Him brightness streameth;
God is wisdom, God is love.
4 He with earthly care entwineth
Hope and comfort from above;
Everywhere His glory shineth;
God is wisdom, God is love. Languages: English Tune Title: TALMAR (Chester-Dorrnance)

Our inward piety approve.

While we expect that blessed hope,
The bright appearance of the Lord,
And faith stands leaning on His Word. Languages: English Tune Title: HAMBURG

Chooseth the pure in heart.

If needy here and poor,
Give me Thy people’s bread,

The manna of Thy Word
Let my soul feed upon;

My Lord, Thy will be done!
3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!

And sorrowed oft alone,
If I must weep with Thee,
My Lord, Thy will be done!

To Thy dear wounded side
I would for refuge fly.

Where Thou before hast gone.
The rest as Thou shalt please;
My Lord, Thy will be done!
5 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
All shall be well for me;
Each changing future scene
I gladly trust with Thee.
Thus to my home above
I travel calmly on,
And sing, in life or death,
My Lord, Thy will be done! Languages: English Tune Title: JEWETT

In our stormy griefs below,
Who, but Thou, can heal the strife
Sin and sorrow round us being,
In life's vale while wandering?

Saints who have Thy truth preferred
Walk in peace, and worship right:
Thou alone to sin canst say,
"I am Love, the Living Way."

Round our paths, where'er they lead!
Midnight feels a ray divine
Breaking through the darkest need,
If we hear, when most dismayed,
"It is I, be not afraid!"

Gifts without, and grace within,
Love and light which set us free
From the curse and chain of sin--
These, Emmanuel, Thou canst give,
While upon Thy words we live.
5 Not a want, Thou canst not fill;
Not a fear, Thou wilt not tame;
If, indeed, repentance will
Rest upon Thy glorious Name,
High o'er every guilt and grave
Shall Redemption's banner wave!
6 Saviour, be our Polar Star,
Shaded by no sinful night;
Shed upon us from afar
Living beams of holy light:
When we reach our radiant home,
We shall know the Way we come. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. NINIAN

O Lord, who hast my place assigned
O God, Thou faithful God
Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #330 (1908) Topics: Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity 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 still 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,
That nought 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 earth
Me from my Savior 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' 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. Languages: English Tune Title: MUNICH (O Gott, du frommer Gott)

In joyful hope to die. Languages: English Tune Title: ARIEL
