O Jesus, My Lord

Author: Nicholas L. von Zinzendorf, 1700-1760 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, my Lord, Forever adored, My Portion, my All, At Thy holy feet humbly pleading I fall. 2 As sure as I prove Thy mercy and love, As Thou life didst gain For me, and my comfort dost ever remain, 3 So sure may I be Devoted to Thee, And cheerfully stand, Prepared to comply with Thy every command. 4 Keep me through Thy power So minded each hour That I naught beside May know but Thee only and Thee Crucified. 5 Make me Thine abode, A temple of God, A vessel of grace, Prepared for Thy service and formed to Thy praise. 6 The covenant is made With Thee as my Head. Lord, grant my request, To love and to serve Thee till with Thee I rest. Topics: The Life in Christ Communion with Christ Used With Tune: NEANDER Text Sources: M. tr., 1808 a.

To Thee, Most Holy Lord

Author: M. F. Oerter, 1864-1943 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To Thee, most holy Lord, We sing with hearts and voices; In Thee, with one accord, Thy Church on earth rejoices! We bend before Thy throne, And humbly chant Thy praise; We worship Thee alone, Whose love hath crowned our days. 2 On this, our festal day, Thy people here adore Thee; We come to sing and pray, And lay our gifts before Thee. Thy hand hath helped us on Through every passing year; Now, Father, Spirit, Son, Our grateful praises hear! 3 “Go forth in all the earth,”— Thy word to us is given: “Proclaim salvation’s worth To all men under heaven.” This holy task, O Lord, Thy Church must quite fulfill; Do Thou Thy grace afford, And mold us to Thy will. 4 Thy faithful servants bless In all remotest places, Where’er they Thee confess To earth’s benighted races, Until that day shall come When multitudes untold Shall find their glorious home In heaven’s eternal fold!

O God of Unrelenting Grace

Author: Hermann I. Weinlick, 1937- Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of unrelenting grace, Whose judgment yet we daily face, Forgive us now, good Lord. Thou art so distant and so near; For Thee we long, yet Thee we fear, O known, and yet beyond record. 2 We take too light Thy majesty, Pretending thoughts can compass Thee; Forgive us now, good Lord. We seal Thee fast in time and word, Assured Thy full voice we have heard, And little mystery Thee accord. 3 For taking light the tasks now ours, Belittling oft our given powers, Forgive us now, good Lord. We sense Thee not in each day’s flow, And thinking this for Thee too low, In heaven afar we have Thee stored. 4 For thinking Thee too far from us, For fearing Thee too close to us, Forgive us now, good Lord. Thou dwell’st in high and holy place, Yet all things touchest by Thy grace, Through all our lives be Thou adored. Topics: The Life in Christ Prayer Used With Tune: INNSBRUCK
