How happy is the man who hears
Author: Michael Bruce Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 301 hymnals Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O happy is the man who hears
Instruction’s warning voice,
And who celestial wisdom makes
His early, only choice!
2 For she has treasures greater far
Than east or west unfold;
And her rewards more precious are
Than all their stores of gold.
3 She guides the young with innocence
In pleasure’s paths to tread;
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the hoary head.
4 According as her labors rise,
So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace. Scripture: Proverbs 3:13 Used With Tune: ST. FULBERT
How happy is the man who hears
O for a closer walk with God
Author: W. Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,367 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Twenty-third Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Twenty-third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly frame;
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!
2 Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest;
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn,
And drove Thee from my breast.
3 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate’er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from Thy throne,
And worship only Thee.
4 So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb! Used With Tune: [O for a closer walk with God]
O for a closer walk with God
The man is ever blest
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blest,
Who shuns the sinner's ways;
Among their counsels never stands,
Nor takes the scorner's place:
2 But makes the law of God
His study and delight,
Amid the labors of the day,
And watches of the night.
3 He like a tree shall thrive,
With waters near the root;
Fresh as the leaf, his name shall live;
His works are heavenly fruit.
4 Not so the ungodly race,
They no such blessings find;
Their hopes shall flee, like empty chaff
Before the driving wind.
5 How will they bear to stand
Before that judgment-seat,
Where all the saints at Christ's right hand
In full assembly meet?
6 He knows and He approves,
The way the righteous go;
But sinners and their works shall meet
A dreadful overthrow. Scripture: Psalm 1 Used With Tune: ST. MICHAEL
The man is ever blest
Come, ye that love the Lord
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,786 hymnals Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Come, ye that love the Lord,
And let our joys be known;
Join in a song with sweet accord,
While ye surround His throne.
Let those refuse to sing
Who never knew our God;
But servants of the heavenly King
May speak their joys abroad.
2 The God that rules on high,
That all the earth surveys,
That rides upon the stormy sky,
And calms the roaring seas:
This awful God is ours,
Our Father and our Love:
He will send down His heavenly powers
To carry us above.
3 There we shall see His face,
And never, never sin:
There, from the rivers of His grace,
Drink endless pleasures in.
The men of grace have found
Glory begun below:
Celestial fruit on earthly ground
From faith and hope may grow.
4 The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets,
Before we reach the heavenly fields,
Or walk the golden streets.
Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry;
We're marching through Emmanuel's ground
To fairer worlds on high. Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
Come, ye that love the Lord
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Author: Sarah Flower Adams Meter: 6.4 Appears in 2,487 hymnals Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me;
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer to Thee!
2 Though, like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone,
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer to Thee!
3 There let my way appear
Steps unto heaven;
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer to Thee!
4 Then, with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer to Thee!
5 Or if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upwards I fly;
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer to Thee!

Jesus er mit Haab og Trøst
Author: Fr. Rostgaard; Luise Henriette Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Twenty-third Sunday after Trinity Sunday Evening Lyrics: 1 Jesus er mit Haab og Trøst,
Han, min Frelser, er i Live,
Derfor jeg med Fryd og Lyst
Al Tid mig tilfreds vil give,
Hvad endog mig Dødens Stund
Gi'r for Tanker mangelund.
2 Jesus Krist, min Frelsermand,
Lever vist, og jeg skal skue
Ham i det forjætted' Land,
Hvorfor skulde jeg da grue?
Han er Hoved, jeg et Lem,
Han med sig mig fører hjem.
3 Jeg til ham med Haabets Baand
Uopløselig er bunden,
Saa skal og minTroes Haand
Fæstet i ham blive funden,
Saa mig aldrig Døden kan
Skille fra min Frelsermand.
4 Jeg er Kjød og ganske vist
Maa til Støv og Aske vorde,
Men min Frelser, Jesus Krist,
Skal opvække mig af Jorde,
At jeg maa i Evighed
Se ham i hans Herlighed.
5 Da skal atter denne Hud
Disse Lemmer omkringgive,
Ja i dette Legem Gud
Skal af mig tilbedet blive,
Og i dette Kjød jeg skal
Jesus se i Himlens Sal.
6 Disse mine Øine og
Ham, min Frelser, skulle kjende,
Jeg, jeg selv–forklaret dog–
Af hans Kjærlighed skal brænde,
Saa at ingen Deel hos mig
Være skal forkrænkelig.
7 Hvad her findes sygt og svagt,
Friskt og herligt der skal møde,
Jordisk vorder jeg nedlagt,
Himmelsk staar jeg op af Døde,
Her jeg bort naturlig gaar,
Der et evigt Liv jeg faar.
8 Mine Lemmer, værer fro!
Kristus bærer eder alle;
Skal I end i Graven bo,
Han herud vil eder kalde,
Naar Basunens sterke Lyd
Høres til de Frommes Fryd.
9 I kan le ad Satans List
Og ad Dødens Falde-Snare,
Thi igjennem Luften vist
I til Jesum skulle fare,
Da skal sorg og Vedermod
Ligge under eders Fod.
10 Kun at eders Aand sig maa
Ud fra Verdens Lyster rive,
Sjælens himmelske Attraa
I maa eder overgive!
Helliger da eder til
Himlen, hvor I være vil! Used With Tune: [Jesus er mit Haab og Trøst]
Jesus er mit Haab og Trøst
My God! permit me not to be
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 343 hymnals Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 My God! permit me not to be
A stranger to myself and Thee:
Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove,
Forgetful of my highest love.
2 Why should my passions mix with earth,
And thus debase my heavenly birth?
Why should I cleave to things below,
And let my God, my Saviour, go?
3 Call me away from flesh and sense;
Thy sovereign word can draw me thence:
I would obey the Voice divine,
And all inferior joys resign. Used With Tune: LOUVAN
My God! permit me not to be
Teach me, my God and King
Author: John Wesley; George Herbert Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 263 hymnals Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Teach me, my God and King,
In all things Thee to see,
And what I do in anything,
To do it as for Thee!
2 To scorn the senses' sway,
While still to Thee I tend:
In all I do be Thou the Way,
In all be Thou the End!
3 All may of Thee partake;
Nothing so small can be,
But draws, when acted for Thy sake,
Greatness and worth from Thee.
4 If done to obey Thy laws,
Even servile labors shine:
Hallowed is toil, if this the cause,
The meanest work divine. Used With Tune: LYTE
Teach me, my God and King

Blest Instructor! from Thy ways
Author: James Merrick Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Blest Instructor! from Thy ways,
Who can tell how oft he strays!
Save from error's growth my mind;
Leave not, Lord, one root behind.
2 Purge me from guilt, that lies
Wrapt within my heart's disguise;
Let me thence, by Thee renewed,
Each presumptuous sin exclude.
3 Let my tongue, from error free,
Speak the words approved by Thee!
To thine all-observing eyes
Let my thoughts accepted rise.
4 While I thus Thy Name adore,
And Thy healing grace implore,
Blest Redeemer, bow Thine ear!
God, my Strength, propitious hear. Scripture: Psalm 19 Used With Tune: PLEYEL
Blest Instructor! from Thy ways
