O Lord, my God, I cry to Thee
Author: Nicolaus Selnecker; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Twenty First Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 0 Lord, my God, I cry to Thee,
In my distress Thou helpest me;
To Thee myself I all commend,
O swiftly now Thine angel send,
To guide me home and cheer my heart,
Since Thou dost call me to depart.
2 0 Jesus Christ, Thou Lamb of God,
Once slain to take away our load,
Now let Thy cross, Thine agony,
Avail to save and solace me,
Thy death to open heav'n, and there
Bid me the joy of angels share.
3 0 Holy Spirit, at the end,
Sweet Comforter, be Thou my Friend;
When death and hell assail me sore,
Leave me, O leave me nevermore,
But bear me safely through the strife,
As Thou hast promised, into life. Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

O Help us, Lord! each hour of need
Author: Henry Hart Milman Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 191 hymnals Topics: Twenty First Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O help us, Lord! each hour of need
Thy heavenly succor give:
Help us in thought, and word, and deed,
Each hour on earth we live!
2 O help us, when our spirits bleed,
With contrite anguish sore;
And when our hearts are cold and dead,
O help us, Lord, the more!
3 O help us, through the prayer of faith,
More firmly to believe!
For still the more the servant hath,
The more shall he receive.
4 O help us, Jesus, from on high!
We know no help but Thee:
O help us so to live and die
As Thine in heaven to be! Used With Tune: BURFORD
O Help us, Lord! each hour of need
A mighty Fortress is our God
Author: Martin Luther Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Twenty First Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God,
A trusty Shield and Weapon;
He helps us free from every need
That hath us now o'ertaken.
The old bitter foe
Means us deadly woe:
Deep guile and great might
Are his dread arms in fight,
On earth is not his equal.
2 With might of ours can naught be done,
Soon were our loss effected;
But for us fights the Valiant One
Whom God Himself elected.
Ask ye, Who is this?
Jesus Christ it is,
Of Sabaoth Lord,
And there's none other God,
He holds the field for ever.
3 Though devils all the world should fill,
All watching to devour us,
We tremble not, we fear no ill,
They cannot overpower us.
This world's prince may still
Scowl fierce as he will,
He can harm us none,
He's judged, the deed is done,
One little word o'erthrows him.
4 The Word they still shall let remain,
And not a thank have for it,
He's by our side upon the plain,
With His good gifts and Spirit,
Take thy then our life,
Goods, fame, child and wife;
When their worst is done,
They yet have nothing won,
The Kingdom ours remaineth. Used With Tune: EIN FESTE BURG IST UNSER GOTT
A mighty Fortress is our God
To God the only wise
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 359 hymnals Topics: Twenty First Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 To God the only wise,
Our Saviour and our King,
Let all the saints below the skies
Their humble praises bring.
2 'Tis His almighty Love,
His counsel, and His care,
Preserves us safe from sin and death,
And every hurtful snare.
3 He will present our souls,
Unblemished and complete
Before the glory of His face,
With joys divinely great.
4 Then all His faithful sons
Shall meet around the throne,
Shall bless the conduct of His grace,
And make His wonders known.
5 To our Redeemer God
Wisdom and power belongs,
Immortal crowns of majesty,
And everlasting songs. Used With Tune: FRANCONIA
To God the only wise
A tow'r of strength our God is still!
Author: Dr. Martin Luther Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Twenty First Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 A tow'r of strength our God is still!
A mighty shield and weapon;
He is our help from all the ill
That hath us now o'ertaken.
The old bitter foe
Now means deadly woe:
Deep guile and great might
Are his dread arms in fight,
On earth is not his equal.
2 With might of ours here naught is done,
Our loss were soon effected:
But for us fights the Valiant One,
Who God Himself elected.
Ask you: "Who is He?"
Christ Jesus: here see
Great Sabaoth's Lord!
There is no other God:
His is the field forever.
3 Though devils all the world should fill,
All watching to devour us,
We tremble not, we fear no ill,
They cannot overpower us.
This world's prince may still
Scowl fierce as he will,
He can harm us none,
For he is judged—undone;
One little Word o'erthrows him.
4 The Word of God they shall let stand
And not a thank have for it,
Here Christ Himself leads the command
With His great gifts and Spirit;
And take they our life,
Goods, fame, child and wife,
When their worst is done,
They yet have nothing won;
The kingdom ours remaineth. Used With Tune: EIN FESTE BURG IST UNSER GOTT Text Sources: Tr. Composite, 1880
A tow'r of strength our God is still!
Soldiers of Christ, arise
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 893 hymnals Topics: Twenty First Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on,
Strong in the strength which God supplies
Thro' His eternal Son;
2 Strong in the Lord of Hosts,
And in His mighty power:
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.
3 Stand then in His great might,
With all His strength endued;
But take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God:
4 That having all things done,
And all your conflicts past,
Ye may o'ercome throough Christ alone
And stand entire at last.
5 From strength to strength go on;
Wrestle and fight and pray:
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.
6 Still let the Spirit cry,
In all his soldiers, "Come,"
Till Christ the Lord descends from high,
And takes the conqueror home. Used With Tune: DOVER
Soldiers of Christ, arise
O for a faith that will not shrink
Author: William Hiley Bathurst Appears in 689 hymnals Topics: Twenty First Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink,
Tho' 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. Used With Tune: MANOAH
O for a faith that will not shrink
Jesus, Lover of my soul
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 3,220 hymnals Topics: Twenty First Sunday after Trinity 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: MARTYN
Jesus, Lover of my soul
Thou art my Hiding-place, O Lord!
Author: Thomas Raffles Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 112 hymnals Topics: Twenty First Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Thou art my Hiding-place, O Lord!
On Thee I fix my trust,
Encouraged by Thy holy Word,
A feeble child of dust.
I have no argument beside,
I urge no other plea;
And 'tis enough my Saviour died,
My Saviour died for me.
2 When storms of fierce temptation beat,
And furious foes assail,
My refuge is the mercy-seat,
My hope within the veil.
From strife of tongues and bitter words
My spirit flies to Thee:
Joy to my heart the thought affords,
My Saviour died for me.
3 'Mid trials heavy to be borne,
When mortal strength is vain,
A heart with grief and anguish torn,
A body racked with pain:
Ah, what could give the sufferer rest,
Bid every murmur flee,
But this, the witness in my breast
That Jesus died for me?
4 And when Thy awful voice commands
This body to decay,
And life, in its last lingering sands,
Is ebbing fast away,
Then, though it be in accents weak,
And faint and tremblingly,
O give me strength in death to speak,
"My Saviour died for me." Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW
Thou art my Hiding-place, O Lord!
Thou very present Aid
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 103 hymnals Topics: Twenty First Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Thou very present Aid
In suffering and distress;
The soul which still on Thee is stayed
Is kept in perfect peace.
2 The soul by faith reclined
On his Redeemer's breast,
Midst raging storms exults to find
An everlasting rest.
3 Sorrow and fear are gone,
Whene'er Thy face appears;
It still the sighing orphan's moan,
And dries the widow's tears.
4 It hallows every cross;
It sweetly comforts me;
Makes me forget my every loss,
And find my all in Thee.
5 Peace to the troubled heart,
Health to the sin-sick mind;
The wounded spirit's Balm Thou art,
The Healer of mankind.
6 Jesus, to whom I fly,
Doth all my wishes fill;
In vain created streams are dry,
In have the Fountain still.
7 Stript of my earthly friends,
I fend them all in One;
And peace, and joy that never ends,
And heaven, in Christ alone. Used With Tune: HANDEL
Thou very present Aid
