Jesus! the very thought of Thee
Author: Bernard of Clairvaux; Edward Caswall Hymnal: Church Book #224 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jesus! the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills the breast;
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.
2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
Nor can the memory find
A sweeter sound than Thy blest Name,
O Saviour of mankind!
3 O Hope of every contrite heart,
O Joy of all the meek!
To those who fall, how kind Thou art,
How good to those who seek!
4 But what to those who find? ah, this
Nor tongue nor pen can show;
The Love of Jesus, what it is,
None but His loved ones know.
5 Jesus, our only Joy be Thou!
As Thou our Prize wilt be;
Jesus, be Thou our Glory now,
And through eternity! Languages: English Tune Title: REDHEAD, 66
Jesus! the very thought of Thee
Lamb of God! we fall before Thee
Author: Joseph Hart Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #254 (1908) Topics: Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before Thee,
Humbly trusting in Thy cross;
That alone be all our glory,
All things else are only dross.
2 Thee we own a perfect Savior,
Only source of all that’s good.
Ev'ry grace and ev'ry favor
Comes to us through Jesus’ blood.
3 Jesus gives us true repentance,
By His Spirit sent from heav’n;
Whispers this transporting sentence:
"Son thy sins are all forgiven."
4 Faith He grants us to believe it,
Grateful hearts His love to prize;
Want we wisdom? He must give it;
Hearing ears, and seeing eyes.
5 Jesus gives us pure affections,
Wills to do what He requires:
Makes us follow His directions,
And what He commands, inspires.
6 All our prayers, and all our praises,
Rightly offered in His name,—
He that dictates them is Jesus;
He that answers is the same. Languages: English Tune Title: WILMOT
Lamb of God! we fall before Thee
Come, O Creator, Sprit blest!
Author: Rabanus Maurus; Edward Caswall Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #325 (1908) Topics: Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Come, O Creator, Spirit blest!
And in our souls take up Thy rest;
Come, with Thy grace and heavenly aid,
To fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
2 Kindle our senses from above,
And make our hearts o'erflow with love;
With patience firm and virtue high,
The weakness of our flesh supply.
3 Far from us drive the foe we dread,
And grant us Thy true peace instead;
So shall we not, with Thee for guide,
Turn from the path of life aside. Languages: English Tune Title: OLIVE'S BROW
Come, O Creator, Sprit blest!
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Hymnal: Church Book #367 (1890) Topics: Fourteenth 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! Languages: English Tune Title: HOTHAM
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
I lay my sins on Jesus
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Church Book #368 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Topics: Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 I lay my sins on Jesus,
The spotless Lamb of God;
He bears them all, and frees us
From the accurséd load.
I bring my guilt to Jesus,
To wash my crimson stains
White, in His Blood most precious,
Till not a spot remains.
2 I lay my wants on Jesus;
All fullness dwells in Him;
He heals all my diseases,
He doth my soul redeem.
I lay my griefs on Jesus,
My burdens and my cares;
He from them all releases,
He all my sorrows shares.
3 I long to be like Jesus,
Meek, loving, lowly, mild;
I long to be like Jesus,
The Father's holy Child;
I long to be with Jesus,
Amid the heavenly throng,
To sing with saints His praises,
To learn the angels' song. Languages: English Tune Title: DENMARK
I lay my sins on Jesus
I thirst, Thou wounded Lamb of God
Author: John Wesley; N. L. v. Zinzendorf; John Nitschmann; Anna Nitschmann Hymnal: Church Book #371 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 I thirst, Thou wounded Lamb of God,
To wash me in Thy cleansing Blood;
To dwell within Thy wounds; then pain
Is sweet, and life or death is gain.
2 Take this poor heart, and let it be
For ever closed to all but Thee!
Seal Thou my breast, and let me wear
That pledge of love for ever there.
3. How blest are they who still abide,
Close sheltered in Thy bleeding side!
Who life and strength from Thee derive,
And by Thee move, and in Thee live!
4 What are our works but sin and death,
Till Thou Tthy quickening Spirit breathe?
Thou giv’st the power Thy grace to move;
O wondrous grace! O boundless Love!
5 How can it be, Thou heavenly King,
That Thou shouldst us to glory bring;
Make slaves the partners of Thy throne,
Decked with a never-fading crown?
6 Ah Lord, enlarge our scanty thought,
To know the wonders Thou hast wrought;
Unloose our stammering tongues, to tell
Thy Love immense, unsearchable! Languages: English Tune Title: FRANKFORT
I thirst, Thou wounded Lamb of God
And shall we still be slaves
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #381 (1908) Topics: Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 And shall we still be slaves,
And in our fetters lie,
When summoned by a voice divine
T'assert our liberty?
2 Did Christ the Saviour bleed,
Our freedom to obtain?
And shall we trample on His blood,
And glory in our chain?
3 Shall we go on to sin,
Because His grace abounds;
Or crucify the Lord again,
And open all His wounds?
4 Forbid it, mighty God!
Nor let it e'er be said
That those, for whom Thy Son has died,
In vice are lost and dead. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. THOMAS
And shall we still be slaves
The Spirit's fruits are peace and love
Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #383 (1908) Topics: Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The Spirit's fruits are peace and love,
And purity from heav'n above;
Grace, meekness, gentleness, and joy,
With goodness, new-born lives employ.
2 The Spirit makes life's pathway plain,
Imparts the grace that will sustain;
And grace its work in those who show,
Who truly to the Spirit sow.
3 They that are Christ's have crucified
Their flesh with all its lusts and pride,
And seek in truth what they profess,
And walk the paths of holiness.
4 Lord, fill with grace our wayward heart,
Nor let Thy Spirit from us part;
O save us from still hidden sin,
And form our nature pure within:
5 That watchful, prayerful, sober, strong,
We grow the more as strifes prolong,
And of the Spirit reap at last
Eternal life, when strife is past. Languages: English Tune Title: WARNER
The Spirit's fruits are peace and love
He that goeth forth with weeping
Author: Thomas Hastings, Mus. Doc. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #393 (1908) Topics: Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 He that goeth forth with weeping,
Sowing precious seed in love,
Never tiring, never sleeping,
Findeth blessing from above.
2 Soft descend the dews of heaven,
Bright the rays celestial shine;
Precious fruits will thus be given
Through an influence all divine.
3 Sow thy seed, be never weary,
Let no fears thy soul annoy;
Be the prospect ne’er so dreary,
Thou shalt reap the fruits in joy.
4 God but uses thee as sower,
Puts the seed into thy hand;
Sow thou then, let Him be Mower,
Till thou reap in fatherland. Languages: English Tune Title: EPHESUS
He that goeth forth with weeping
