The Gospel shows the Father's grace

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Twelfth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The Gospel shows the Father's grace, Who sent His Son to save our race: Proclaims how Jesus lived and died That we might thus be justified. 2 It sets the Lamb before our eyes, Who made th' atoning sacrifice, And calls the souls with guilt oppressed To come and find eternal rest. 3 It brings the Savior's righteousness Our souls to robe in royal dress; From all our guilt it brings release, And gives the troubled conscience peace. 4 It is the power of God to save From sin and Satan and the grave; It works the faith, which firmly clings To all the treasures which it brings. 5 It bears to all the tidings glad And bids their hearts no more be sad: The heavy laden soul it cheers And banishes their guilty fears. 6 May we in faith its tidings learn Nor thanklessly its blessings spurn; May we in faith its truth confess, And praise the Lord our righteousness.

One there is above all others

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.7 Appears in 686 hymnals Topics: Twelfth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend. His is love beyond a brother's, Costly, free, and knows no end. They who once His kindness prove, Find it everlasting Love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed his blood? But this Saviour died to have us Reconciled in Him to God: This was boundless Love indeed: Jesus is a Friend in need. 3 When He lived on earth abaséd, Friend of sinners was His name, Now, above all glory raiséd, He rejoices in the same: Still He calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 O for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love, We, alas! forget too often What a Friend we have above: But when home our souls are brought, We will love Thee as we ought.

God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper Appears in 1,129 hymnals Topics: Twelfth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill He treasures up His bright designs, And works His sov'reign will. 3 Ye fearful saints! fresh courage take: The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding ev'ry hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain; God is his own interpreter, And He will make it plain.

Glorious things of Thee are spoken

Author: Rev. John Newton Appears in 1,292 hymnals Topics: Twelfth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of Thee are spoken, Zion, City of our God. He, whose word cannot be broken, Formed thee for His own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters And all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river Ever flows, their thirst t'assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Savior, since of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy Name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show: Solid joys and lasting treasure, None but Zion's children know. Used With Tune: HARWELL

Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee

Author: Francis Scott Key Meter: 8.7 Appears in 280 hymnals Topics: Twelfth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee For the bliss Thy love bestows, For the pardoning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows. Help, O God, my weak endeavor; This dull soul to rapture raise: Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise. 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, Wretched wanderer, far astray; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away. Praise, with love's devoutest feeling, Him who saw Thy guilt-born fear, And the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stained Cross appear. 3 Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express: Low before Thy footstool kneeling, Deign Thy suppliant's prayer to bless. Let thy grace, my soul's chief treasure, Love's pure flame within me raise: And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth Thy praise. Used With Tune: ADORATION
