All things hang on our possessing
Author: Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #326 (1908) Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing
God's free love and grace and blessing,
Though all earthly wealth depart;
He who God for His hath taken,
'Mid the changing world unshaken,
Keeps a free, heroic heart.
2 He who hitherto hath fed me
And to many a joy hath led me,
Is and ever shall be mine;
He who did so gently school me,
He who still doth guide and rule me,
Will not leave me now to pine.
3 Shall I weary me with fretting
O'er vain trifles and regretting
Things that never can remain?
I will strive but that to to win me
Which can shed true rest within me,
Rest the world must seek in vain.
4 When my heart with longing sickens,
Hope again my courage quickens;
For my wish shall be fulfilled,
If is please His most will most tender:
Life and soul I will surrender
Unto Him on whom I build.
5 Well He knows how best to grant me
All the longing hopes that haunt me;
All things have their proper day.
I to Him would dictate never,
As God will, so be it ever,
When He wills I will obey.
6 If on earth He bids me linger,
He will guide me with His finger
Through the years that now look dim;
All that earth has fleets and changes,
As a river onward ranges,
But I rest in peace on Him. Languages: English Tune Title: HILDESHEIM (Alles ist an Gottes Segen)
All things hang on our possessing
My faith looks up to Thee
Author: R. Palmer Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #456 (1913) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Topics: The Church Year Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine;
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away;
O let me from this day
Be wholly Thine.
2 May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As Thou hast died for me,
O may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire.
3 While life's dark maze I tread
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold, sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll;
Blest Savior, then, in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above--
A ransomed soul!

Praise to God, immortal praise
Author: Anna Letitia Barbauld Hymnal: Church Book #501 (1890) Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Praise to God, immortal praise,
For the Love that crowns our days!
Bounteous Source of every joy,
Let Thy praise our tongues employ!
2 For the blessings of the field,
For the stores the gardens yield;
Flocks that whiten all the plain;
Yellow sheaves of ripened grain:
3 All that Spring with bounteous hand,
Scatters o'er the smiling land;
All that liberal Autumn pours
From her overflowing stores:
4 These to Thee, O God! we owe,
Source whence all our blessings flow!
And for these our souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. BASIL
Praise to God, immortal praise
What our Father does is well
Author: Sir Henry William Baker; Benjamin Schmolk Hymnal: Church Book #504 (1890) Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 What our Father does is well:
Blesséd truth His children tell!
Though He send, for plenty, want,
Though the harvest store be scant,
Yet we rest upon His Love,
Seeking better things above.
2 What our Father does is well:
Shall the wilful heart rebel
If a blessing He withhold
In the field, or in the fold?
Is He not Himself to be
All our Store eternally?
3 What our Father does is well:
Though He sadden hill and dell,
Upward yet our praises rise
For the strength His Word supplies.
He has called us sons of God;
Can we murmur at His rod?
4 What our Father does is well;
May the thought within us dwell
Though nor milk nor honey flow
In our barren Canaan now,
God can save us in our need,
God can bless us, God can feed.
5 Therefore unto Him we raise
Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
To the Father and the Son,
And the Spirit, Three in One,
Honor, might, and glory be,
Now and through eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: PROVIDENCE
What our Father does is well
Through all the changing scenes of life
Author: Nahum Tate; Nicholas Brady Hymnal: Church Book #86 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Through all the changing scenes of life,
In trouble and in joy,
The praises of my God shall still
My heart and tongue employ.
2 Of His deliverance I will boast,
Till all that are distrest
From my example comfort take,
And charm their griefs to rest.
3 O magnify the Lord with me,
With me exalt His Name!
When in distress on Him I called,
He to my rescue came.
4 The hosts of God encamp around
The dwellings of the just;
Deliverance He affords to all
Who on His succor trust.
5 O make but trial of His Love;
Experience will decide
How blest they are, and only they,
Who in His truth confide.
6 Fear Him, ye saints, and you will then
Have nothing else to fear;
Make you His service your delight,
He'll make your wants His care. Scripture: Psalm 34 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. OSWIN
Through all the changing scenes of life
O God of Jacob, by whose hand
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: Church Book #91 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O God of Jacob, by whose hand
Thy people still are fed;
Who, through this weary pilgrimage,
Hast all our fathers led!
2 To Thee our humble vows we raise,
To Thee address our prayer;
And in Thy kind and faithful breast
Deposit all our care.
3 Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us by day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
4 O spread thy covering wings around,
Till all our wanderings cease;
And at our fathers' loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace.
5 To Thee, as to our covenant God,
We'll our whole selves resign;
And thankful own, that all we are,
And all we have, is Thine. Languages: English Tune Title: IRISH
O God of Jacob, by whose hand
The Lord my pasture shall prepare
Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #173 (1908) Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare,
And feed me with a shepherd’s care;
His presence shall my wants supply,
And guard me with a watchful eye;
My noon-day walks He shall attend
And all my midnight hours defend.
2 Though in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horrors overspread,
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill,
For Thou, O Lord, art with me still;
Thy friendly crook shall give me aid,
And guide me through the dreadful shade. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CATHERINE
The Lord my pasture shall prepare
Faith is wisdom from on high
Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #211 (1908) Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Faith is wisdom from on high,
Hearing ear and seeing eye;
In the soul a higher light
Than the ken of mortal sight:
Vivid trust in hope serene,
Evidence of things not seen.
2 Faith in meekness, as is meet,
Sits and learns at Jesus' feet;
Nestles closely to the Lord,
Happy in the Master's Word;
Cleaves to it, defends it then:
This to faith is Yea, Amen.
3 Faith is sure, where sight is blind:
While lost sense may nowhere find
Hope, to stay a sinking soul
When the billows o'er it roll,
Faith directs its saving quest
To the cross, and there finds rest.
4 Faith, in childlike trust, is wise:
Trusting Him who never lies;
By whose grace the weak grow strong,
Change their sighing into song.
Praise be Thine, O Lord of might!
Faith shall end in glorious sight. Languages: English Tune Title: SULLIVAN
Faith is wisdom from on high
Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #387 (1908) Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
One in Three, and Three in One,
As by the celestial host,
Let Thy will on earth be done:
Praise by all to Thee be giv'n,
Gracious Lord of earth and heav'n.
2 That so poor a worm as I
May to Thy great glory live,
All my actions sanctify,
All my words and thoughts receive:
Claim me, for Thy service claim
All I have, and all I am.
3 Take my soul and body's pow'rs!
Take my mem'ry, mind, and will,
All my goods and all my hours,
All I know and all I feel:
All I think, or speak, or do;
Take my heart, but make it new!
4 Now, O God, Thine own I am;
Now I give Thee back Thine own;
Freedom, friends, and health, and fame,
Consecrate to Thee alone;
Thine I live, thrice happy I!
Happier still if Thine I die. Languages: English Tune Title: TURIN

When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay
Author: Thomas Gibbons Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #389 (1908) Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay,
What were His works from day to day,
But miracles of pow'r and grace,
Which spread salvation thro' our race?
2 Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view
Thy pattern, and Thy steps pursue:
Let alms bestowed, let kindness done,
Be witnessed by each rolling sun.
3 That man may last, but never lives,
Who much receives, but nothing gives:
Whom none can love, whom none can thank,
Creation's blot, creation's blank.
4 But he who marks from day to day
In gen'rous acts his radiant way,
The same path treads the Savior trod,
The path to glory and to God. Languages: English Tune Title: SURREY
