Thou hidden love of God, whose height
Author: G. Tersteegen Appears in 265 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden love of God, whose height,
Whose depth unfathomed no man knows,
I see from far Thy beauteous light,
Inly I sigh for Thy repose:
My heart is pained, nor can it be
At rest, till it find rest in Thee.
2 Is there a thing beneath the sun
That strives with Thee my heart to share?
Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,
The Lord of every motion there.
Then shall my heart from earth be free,
When it has found repose in Thee.
3 O hide this self from me, that I
No more, but Christ in me, may live!
My base affections crucify,
Nor let one favorite sin survive;
In all things nothing may I see,
Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee.
4 Each moment draw from earth away
My heart that lowly waits Thy call!
Speak to my inmost soul, and say
I am thy love, thy God, thy all!
To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice,
To taste Thy love, be all my choice! Used With Tune: [Thou hidden love of God, whose height]
Thou hidden love of God, whose height
Weary of wandering from my God
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 147 hymnals Topics: Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Weary of wandering from my God,
And now made willing to return,
I hear, and bow me to the rod;
For Thee, not without hope, I mourn:
I have an Advocate above,
A Friend before the throne of Love.
2 O Jesus, full of truth and grace,
More full of grace than I of sin;
Yet once again I seek Thy face,
Open Thine arms and take me in;
And freely my backslidings heal,
And love the faithless sinner still.
3 Thou know'st the way to bring me back,
My fallen spirit to restore;
O, for Thy truth and mercy's sake,
Forgive, and bid me sin no more:
The ruins of my soul repair,
And make my heart a house of prayer. Used With Tune: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT LÄSZT WALTEN
Weary of wandering from my God
May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfill
Author: Edward Osler Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfill,
And do on earth our Father's will,
As angels do above:
Still walk in Christ, the living Way,
With all Thy children, and obey
The law of Christian love,
The law of Christian love.
2 So may we join Thy Name to bless,
Thy grace adore, Thy power confess,
From sin and strife to flee:
One is our calling, one our name,
The end of all our hopes the same,
A crown of life with Thee.
3 Spirit of life, of love and peace,
Unite our hearts, our joy increase.
Thy gracious help supply:
To each of us the blessing give,
In Christian fellowship to live,
In joyful hope to die. Used With Tune: ARIEL
May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfill
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Appears in 2,901 hymnals Topics: Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee!
Let the Water and the Blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save me, Lord, and make me pure.
2 Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfil Thy Law's demands:
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears for ever flow,
All for sin could not atone:
Thou must save and Thou alone!
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy Cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the Fountain fly;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die!
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee! Used With Tune: HOTHAM
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Lord, teach us how to pray aright
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Topics: Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright,
With reverence and with fear:
Though dust and ashes in Thy sight,
We may, we must draw near.
2 Burdened with guilt, convinced of sin,
In weakness, want, and woe,
Fightings without and fears within,
Lord, whither shall we go?
3 God of all grace, we come to Thee
With broken, contrite hearts;
Give, what Thine eye delights to see,
Truth in the inward parts.
4 Give deep humility; the sense
Of godly sorrow give;
A strong desire, with confidence,
To hear Thy voice and live:
5 Faith in the only Sacrifice
That can for sin atone;
To cast our hopes, to fix our eyes
On Christ, on Christ alone:
6 Give these, and then Thy will be done.
Thus strengthened with all might,
We, through Thy Spirit and Thy Son,
Shall pray, and pray aright. Used With Tune: DUNFERMLINE
Lord, teach us how to pray aright
Just as I am, without one plea
Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,114 hymnals Topics: Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy Blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
2 Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee, whose Blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
3 Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
4 Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need, in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
5 Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
Because Thy promise I believe;
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
6 Just as I am; Thy Love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be thine, year, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come! Used With Tune: QUEBEC
Just as I am, without one plea
Forth from the dark and stormy sky
Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 130 hymnals Topics: Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Forth from the dark and stormy sky,
Lord, to Thine altar's shade we fly;
Forth from the world, its hope and fear,
Saviour, we seek Thy shelter here:
Weary and weak, Thy grace we pray:
Turn not, O Lord! Thy guests away!
2 Long have we roamed in want and pain;
Long have we sought Thy rest in vain;
'Wildered in doubt, in darkness lost,
Long have our souls been tempest-tost:
Low at Thy feet our sins we lay;
Turn not, O Lord, Thy guests away. Used With Tune: MELITA
Forth from the dark and stormy sky
The Savior calls; let ev'ry ear
Author: Anna Steele Appears in 324 hymnals Topics: Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The Savior calls; let every ear
Attend the heav'nly sound:
Ye doubting souls! dismiss your fear;
Hope smiles reviving round.
2 For every thirsty, longing heart,
Here streams of bounty flow,
And life and health, and bliss impart
To banish mortal woe.
3 Here springs of sacred pleasures rise
To ease your every pain:
Immortal fountain! full supplies!
Nor shall you thirst in vain.
4 Ye wand'rers! come, ’tis mercy’s voice,
The gracious call obey;
Mercy invites to heavenly joys,
And can you yet delay?
5 Dear Savior! draw reluctant hearts;
To Thee let sinners fly
And take the bliss Thy love imparts
And drink, and never die. Used With Tune: HOWARD
The Savior calls; let ev'ry ear
Come, my soul, thy suit prepare
Author: John Newton Appears in 709 hymnals Topics: Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, thy suit prepare,
Jesus loves to answer prayer;
He Himself has bid thee pray,
Therefore will not say thee nay.
2 Thou art coming to a King;
Large petitions with thee bring;
For His grace and power are such,
None can ever ask too much.
3 With my burden I begin;
Lord, remove this load of sin!
Let Thy Blood, for sinners spilt,
Set my conscience free from guilt.
4 Lord, I come to Thee for rest!
Take possession of my breast;
There Thy blood-bought right maintain,
And without a rival reign.
5 While I am a pilgrim here,
Let Thy love my spirit cheer;
As my Guide, my Guard, my Friend,
Lead me to my journey's end.
6 Show me what I have to do,
Every hour my strength renew;
Let me live a life of faith,
Let me live Thy people's death. Used With Tune: REDHEAD, 47
Come, my soul, thy suit prepare
Like Noah's weary dove
Author: William Augustus Muhlenberg Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 122 hymnals Topics: Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Like Noah's weary dove,
That soared the earth around,
But not a resting-place above
The cheerless waters found:
2 O cease, my wandering soul,
On restless wings to roam;
All the wide world, to either pole,
Has not for thee a home.
3 Behold the ark of God,
Behold the open door;
Hasten to gain that dear abode,
And rove, my soul, no more.
4 There safe thou shalt abide,
There sweet shall be thy rest,
And every longing satisfied,
With full salvation blest.
Used With Tune: REST
Like Noah's weary dove
