Chief of sinners tho' I be

Author: William McComb Appears in 90 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Chief of sinners tho' I be, Jesus shed His blood for me; Died that I might live on high, Lived that I might never die. As the branch is to the vine, I am His and He is mine. 2 O the hight of Jesus' love! Higher than the heavens above, Deeper than the depths of sea, Lasting to eternity; Love that found me, wondrous thought! Found me when I sought Him not. 3 Jesus only can impart Balm to heal the smitten heart, Peace that flows from sin forgiven; Joy that lifts the soul to heaven; Faith and hope to walk with God In the way that Enoch trod. 4 Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me; All my wants to Him are known, All my sorrows are His own. Safe with Him from earthly strife He sustains the hidden life. 5 O my Savior! help afford, By Thy Spirit and Thy Word! When my wayward heart would stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Grace in time of need supply While I live and when I die. Used With Tune: DIX (Treuer Heiland, wir sind hier)

Skal Kjærlighed sin Prøve staa

Author: Brorson Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Sunday; Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 Skal Kjærlighed sin Prøve staa Da maa den til din Fiende naa, At du er mild, naar han er vred, Det er en kristen Kjærlighed. 2 Den Lærdom er saa besk og sur Som Døden selv for vor Natur, Det synes alt for tungt og svart For Adams flintehaarde Art. 3 Dog gjelder her slet intet Nei, Saa sandt du vil den rette Vei; At elske dem, som elske dig, Det kan en Hedning magelig. 4 Men Jesus taler rene Ord, At Had i Hjertet er et Mord, Undskyldning gjelder ikke her, Din Fiende skal du have kjær. 5 Vil nogen side da: Jeg kan Ei elske ret min Avindsmand, Han vidner, at han ei forstaar, Hvad Jesu Kjærlighed formaar. 6 Men siger du: Jeg gjerne vil, Men finder ingen Kraft dertil, Da løb til Jesu Vunder hen, Saa tændes Kjærlighed igjen. 7 Lad Hjertet komme ind i Bod, Og smelte hen i Jesu Blod, Da bliver Kristi milde Sind I Sjælen deilig prentet ind. 8 Naar vi med aandsoplyst Forstand Vor Jesu Hjerte skue kan, Hvor han for sine Fiender bad, Da de kun stod og lo derad; 9 Naar vi betænke, hvor han gik, Vor Sjæle-Hyrde, før han fik Os ud af Dødens Fare rykt, Hvor tidt og længe han har søgt; 10 Naar vi bese i Hjertets Grund De mange svare Syndens Pund, Som Gud saa gjerne os forlod For Jesu Pine, Død og Blod; 11 Naar Aanden gjør os dette klart, Da tændes udi Sjælen snart Den stærke Kjærlighedens Brand, At man sin Fiende elske kan. 12 Saa luestærk er Kjærlighed, Den slaar al Verdens Ilske ned, Og drager Sjælen ind til Gud, Da lære vi der femte Bud. 13 O lad mig hjertens-inderlig, Min søde Jesus, elske dig, Og komme dig i Troen nær, Saa faar jeg nok min Fiende kjær.

The law of God is good and wise

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise And sets His will before our eyes, Shows us the way of righteousness, And dooms to death when we transgress. 2 Its light of holiness imparts The knowledge of our sinful hearts That we may see our lost estate And seek deliv'rance ere too late. 3 To those who help in Christ have found And would in works of love abound, It shows what deeds are His delight And should be done as good and right. 4 When men the offered help disdain And dead in sin and woe remain; Its terror in their ear resounds And keeps their wickedness in bounds. 5 The law is good; but since the fall Its holiness condemns us all: It dooms us for our sin to die, And has no power to justify. 6 To Jesus we for refuge flee, Who from the curse has set us free, And humbly worship at His throne, Saved by His grace through faith alone.

Here I can calmly die, for Thou Wilt raise me where Thou dwellest now, Amen! Amen! Come, Lord Jesus, Soon release us, With deep yearning, Lord, we look for Thy returning.

Should I not love Thee well? Not for the sake of winning heaven, Nor of escaping hell; 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught; Not seeking a reward; But, as Thyself hast lovéd me, O ever loving Lord! 6 E'en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing; Solely because Thou art my God, And my eternal King.

Hvor ser det ud i Verdens Ørk

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Sunday High Mass Lyrics: 1 Hvor ser det ud i Verdens Ørk, Hvad er den fæl og sur og mørk! Had, Vrede og Miskundelse Har dækket Verden som en Sne. Man neppe meer at nævne veed Den broderlige Kjærlighed. 2 Hvor gaar dog Bitterheden vidt! Man ser og træffer altfor tidt, At En er paa den Anden vred, Dog de i slig Uenighed Sig rose af Guds Naades Favn, Og trodse paa sit Kristen-Navn. 3 Hvo agter Jesu egne Ord, At Had i Hjertet er et Mord, At den, som ei tilgive vil, Kan aldrig høre Jesum til; At man sin Fiende sette skal I medforløste Brødres Tal. 4 Da det er nu saaledes fat Blandt denne Verdens Torn og Krat, Saa har dog Gud i Himlen her Paa Jorden dem, som har ham kjær, Et Gosen i Ægyptens Land, Som intet Mørke dæmpe kan. 5 Det er Guds sande Israel, Som baade tror og lever vel, En Slægt af Gud ved Ordet fød, En deilig Brud i Naadens Skjød, Paa Jorden en forborgen Skat, Og dog et Lys i Verdens Nat. 6 Men det er ret det Tegn, hvorpaa De ufeilbarlig kjendes maa, At de indbyrdes og især Hverandre have hjertekjær, Paa dette visse Merke man Vor Jesu Brødre kjende kan. 7 Man føler vel det onde Sind, Men dæmper det, og trænger ind I Jesu søde Kjærlighed, Saa synker Hjertets Taage ned, At mellem dem des meer og meer I Gud en nær Forening sker. 8 Hver Green af Jesu har sin Kraft, Dog ikke lige megen Saft, Som Forskjel er paa Sted og Tid, Paa hvers Forfarenhed og Flid; Dog ere alle Et i Gud, Og følge Kjærlighedens Bud. 9 I Bygning settes Steen paa Steen, De blive alle som til een, De store jevnes med de smaa, At de mod Ild og Vand bestaa; Saa samles alle Frommes Sind, Og vies til Guds Tempel ind. 10 De Sterke med de Svage gaa, De Rige med de Arme staa, Forfarne med Lempfeldighed Veivise den, som lidet veed, At Alting passer sig saa net, Naar alles Kræfter samles ret. 11 Naar dette himmel-sterke Baand I Verden tager Overhaand, Da vokser Kjærlighed til Gud, Da bredes Jesu Rige ud Og drager daglig Andres Sind I dette Himmel-Selskab ind. 12 Des mindre kan man undres paa, At Satan derimod vil staa, Bevæger al den Deel, han kan, At saa Fortræd og Misforstand Iblandt Guds Søns udvalte Flok, Saa veed han, han har vundet nok. 13 I da, som føre Aandens Sværd, Staar sammen, ak, staar sammen nær! Forbindes ret i Kjærlighed, Og tænker paa vor Daabes Eed! Det er den allerstørste Sag, Saa har dit Fienden tabt sit Slag. 14 Forbinder eder nær i Gud, Og tænker paa det søde Bud, Som Jesus har os alle sagt, Og hver især paa Hjerte lagt, At hvo der er i eders Tal, Af Kjærligheden kjendes skal. 15 O Jesu, du, som kom herned At stifte Fred og Kjærlighed, Udbred dit Rige vidt og bredt, Forbind os alle ret til Et, At vi med dig og Dine maa Til evig Tid i Samfund staa!

Thee will I love, beneath Thy frown Or smile, Thy sceptre or Thy rod. What though my flesh and heart decay? Thee shall I love in endless day. Used With Tune: ICH WILL DICH LIEBEN

At naar jeg gaar af Verden bort, Jeg trøster i min Vaade Paa din Naade, Ei paa, hvad jeg har gjort, Det er mig ingen Vaade. 3 Und mig og det, af Hjertens Grund I Kjærlighed at blive, Min Fiende elske allen Stund, Og hannem saa tilgive, Som du og selv har gjort mod mig, For Ondt ham Godt tilvende, Lade kjende Den Ven i Himmerig, Hvis Miskund ei har Ende! 4 Lad ingen Modgang, Lyst og Nød Saa sterk imod mig skride, Om det saa gjælder Liv og Død, At de mig fra dig slide! Lad ingen Ting saa være kjær, Den skulde mig formene Dig at tjene; For alt i Verden er, Du skal mig have ene! 5 Jeg ligger her i Sjæle-Strid, Mig Djævelen gjør bange, Og bruger al sin Kunst og Flid, At tage mig til Fange! Thi hjælp og styrk min Usseldom! Han ellers fort mig felder, Træet helder, Men du er miskundsom, Du kommer, naar det gjelder.
