Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n

Author: Petrus Herbert; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 73 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n, That grasps the promise God hath giv'n, A confidence in Christ alone, Whose grace cannot be overthrown. 2 Faith in the conscience worketh peace, And bids the mourner’s weeping cease; By faith the children’s place we claim And give all honor to One Name. 3 Faith feels the Spirit’s kindling breath In love and hope that conquer death; Faith worketh joyfulness in God And trusts and blesses e’en the rod. 4 We thank Thee, then, O God of heaven, That Thou to us this faith hast given; Preserve to us Thy Spirit's grace Till we shall see Thee face to face.

O for a faith that will not shrink

Author: William Hiley Bathurst Appears in 689 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink, Though pressed by ev'ry foe, That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe! 2 That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chast'ning rod, But in the hour of grief or pain Will lean upon its God. 3 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without, That, when in danger, knows no fear, In darkness, feels no doubt; 4 That bears, unmoved the world’s dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile; That seas of trouble cannot drown, Nor Satan’s arts beguile, 5 A faith that keeps the narrow way Till life’s last hour is fled And with a pure and heavenly ray Lights up a dying bed. 6 Lord, give us such a faith as this, And then, whate’er may come, We’ll taste e’en here the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home.

Jesus, Lover of my soul

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 3,222 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the waters nearer roll, While the tempest still is high! Hide me, O my Savior, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, oh, leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me! All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from thee I bring: Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in Thee I find: Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy Name; I am all unrighteousness: False and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art; Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. Used With Tune: JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL

My hope is built on nothing less

Author: Ed. Mote Appears in 1,085 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Third Sunday after Epiphany; The Church Year Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. On Christ, the solid rock, I stand: All other ground is sinking sand. 2 When clouds and darkness veil His face, I rest on His unchanging grace, In every high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil; On Christ, the solid rock, I stand: All other ground is sinking sand. 3 His oath, His covenant, and blood Support me in the whelming flood; When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay. On Christ, the solid rock, I stand: All other ground is sinking sand. 4 When He shall come, with trumpet sound, O may I then in Him be found! Clothed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne. On Christ, the solid rock, I stand: All other ground is sinking sand. Used With Tune: [My hope is built on nothing less]

Lamb of God! we fall before Thee

Author: Joseph Hart Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Epiphany 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.

O God, Thou faithful God

Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 61 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Epiphany 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.
