O for a faith that will not shrink

Author: W. H. Bathurst Hymnal: LHPN1913 #243 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink, Though pressed by many a foe, That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe, 2 That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chastening 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: C. Wesley Hymnal: LHPN1913 #244 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters 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, ah, 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! Topics: The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Epiphany; The Church Year Fifth Sunday after Epiphany; Faith Tune Title: [Jesus lover of my soul]

O Father, may Thy word prevail

Author: H. A. Brorson Hymnal: LHPN1913 #245 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Father, may Thy Word prevail Against the gates of hell! Behold the vineyard Thou hast tilled With thorns and thistles filled. 'Tis true, Thy plants are there; But, ah, how weak and rare! How slight the power and evidence Of word and sacraments! 2 Come, Jesus, come and contemplate Thy vineyard's sad estate; Baptized are millions in Thy name, But where is faith's pure flame? Of what avail that we Know of Thine agony, So long as we do not o'erthrow In faith the wicked foe? 3 O Holy Ghost, to Thee, our light, We cry by day, by night: Come, grant us of the light and powe'r Our fathers had of yore; When Thy dear Church did stand A tree, deep-rooted, grand; Full-crowned with blossoms white as snow, With purple fruits aglow!

O Thou, to whose all-searching sight

Author: N.L. von Zinzendorf Hymnal: LHPN1913 #246 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Thou to whose all-searching sight The darkness shineth as the light! Search, prove my heart: it pants for Thee; O burst these bonds, and set it free. 2 Wash out its stains, refine its dross, Nail my affections to the cross! Hallow each thought; let all within Be clean, as Thou, my Lord, art clean. 3 If in this darksome wild I stray, Be Thou my light, be Thou my way; No foes, no violence I fear, No harm, while Thou, my God, art near. 4 When rising floods my soul o’erflow, When sinks my heart in waves of woe, Jesus, Thy timely aid impart, And raise my head, and cheer my heart. 5 Savior, where’er Thy steps I see, Dauntless, untired, I'd follow Thee; O let Thy hand support me still, And lead me to Thy holy hill! 6. If rough and thorny be the way, My strength proportion to my day; Till toil and grief and pain shall cease, Where all is calm, and joy and peace.

In Jesus' name

Author: J. Frederiksen Hymnal: LHPN1913 #247 (1913) Meter: 4.6.10.7.4.6.6.6.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 In Jesus' name Our work must all be done If it shall compass our true good and aim, And not end in shame alone; For every deed Which in it doth proceed, Success and blessing gains Till it the goal attains. Thus we honor God on high And ourselves are blessed thereby; Wherein our true good remains. 2 In Jesus' name We praise our God on high, He blesses them who spread abroad His fame, And we do His will thereby. E'er hath the Lord Done great things by His word, And still doth bare His arm His wonders to perform; Hence we should in every clime Magnify His name sublime, Who doth shield us from all harm. 3 In Jesus' name We live and we will die; If then we live, His love we will proclaim; If we die, we gain thereby. In Jesus' name, Who from heaven to us came, We shall again rise To meet Him in the skies, When at last, saved by His grace, We shall see Him face to face, Live with Him in Paradise.

In heaven is joy and gladness

Author: J. N. Brun Hymnal: LHPN1913 #248 (1913) Lyrics: 1 In heaven is joy and gladness, But while I sojourn here, So often, bowed in sadness, I shed the bitter tear. Here ills, alway prevailing, Distress the Savior's bride; Here mirth is lost in wailing; In heaven but joys abide. 2 I do not strive for pleasures That fools pursue on earth, I sow in tears for treasures That have more lasting worth. If, when my journey endeth, The sheaves I gather in, The bliss the fool pretendeth I do not yearn to win. 3 For I shall see my Jesus, He is my hope and stay; The cross that me oppresses Anon He takes away. Then nothing more shall grieve me, And no adversity Shall of my joy bereave me; Soon I shall Jesus see.

With trembling awe the chosen three

Author: W. W. How Hymnal: LHPN1913 #249 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 With trembling awe the chosen three The holy mount ascended, Where, wrapped in blissful ecstacy, They saw the vision splendid-- Their Lord arrayed in living light, And on His left hand and His right, By glorious saints attended. 2 O vision bright, too bright to tell, The joys of heaven unveiling! How precious on those hearts it fell, When earthly hopes were failing; When, saints no more on either side, Between the thieves the Savior died 'Mid hate, and scorn, and railing! 3 Grant us, dear Lord, some vision brief Of future triumph telling, Gilding with hope our night of grief, Our clouds of fear dispelling. If the dim foretaste was so bright, O what shall be the dazzling light Of Thine eternal dwelling!
