O Lord, Devoutly Love I Thee

In this wide world of anxious care, Vain glory find I every where, But peace with Thee, my Saviour! E'en though, in woeful agony, My soul and body pine away, Thou art my Comfort, ever blest, I safely on thy bosom rest. Lord Jesus Christ, My Saviour dear, my Saviour dear, Thy saving hand is ever near. 2 Almighty God, for what I own, Receive, and am, to Thee alone I ought my thanks to render. Teach me to use Thy gifts, I pray, To aid the poor, and never stay, O Lord, Thy mercies tender. Make known to me, O God, Thy will, And purge my soul of every ill; Yea, make me patient and content, Nor let my soul to earth be bent, Lord Jesus Christ, For Thy death's sake: for Thy death's sake: The bonds of my affliction break. 3 Send, Lord, Thine angels forth at last To bear my soul, when life is past, Where heavenly joy aboundeth. And let my weary body rest In peace, where'er Thou seest best, Until Thy voice resoundeth. Then lo! in holy vesture clad I shall behold my Lord and God; His grace and glory then shall be My joy in all eternity. Lord Jesus Christ, My prayer fulfill; my prayer fulfill; In life, in death thine am I still. Topics: Sanctification Used With Tune: HERZLICH LIEB HAB ICH DICH, O HERR

To them who by Thy grace and love Are members of Thy kingdom Now here and there above. 2 To us on earth yet dwelling; Thou dost descend to give, In love all love excelling, Thyself that we may live, And sayest ever kind and good: "Take, eat, this is My body, Take, drink, this is My blood." 3 We hear Thine invitation; We hear, O Lord, Thy call, The word of consolation, It is for us, for all; It draws us to Thy loving heart, It brings to us Thy blessing, It does Thy peace impart. 4 Thy heart is in all anguish, A refuge to the poor, Thy heart for us did languish, And bitter death endure. Thy heart yet filled with peace and rest, With comfort and salvation Draws near to every breast. 5 Thou still in loving favor To us, thine own, art near, To lead us as our Saviour Unto a Father dear, A Father willing to forgive The children Thou didst ransom, Those who through Thee shall live. 6 Thine own we are, and ever, Until our latest breath, Will we remain, and never In joy, in grief, in death. Depart from Thee; and all our days Thou art with us here present As Thine own promise says. Topics: The Lord's Supper Used With Tune: O JESU! ÄN DE DINA

Eternity! Most Awful Word!

Author: Johann Rist, 1607-1667 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternity! most awful word! Within the heart a piercing sword! Beginning without ending! Eternity, unmeasured time! I sink beneath the thought sublime That to Thee I am tending: Deep horrors fill my quaking hear, My lips in speech refuse to part. 2 Eternity! oh what a pang! Eternity! No serpent's fang Could send that thrill of terror; When I revolve Thy clanking chains, The dark abyss of deathless pains, My soul is filled with horror. Oh, search this universe around, No equal terror can be found. 3 Awake, O man, from sinful sleep; Henceforth thy feet from wandering keep: Seek God by true repentance! Awake, behold thy wasting sand, Eternity is just at hand, And brings thine awful sentence. This is perchance thy final day: This hour thy soul may haste away. 4 Eternity! most awful word! Within the heart a piercing sword! Beginning without ending! Eternity! unmeasured time! I sink beneath the thought sublime, That I to thee am tending; Lord Jesus, when it pleaseth Thee, Grant me Thy blest eternity! Topics: Eternity Used With Tune: O EWIGKEIT, DU DONNERWORT

Son of God, Thy power Hath triumphed in this awful hour: And yet our eyes with sorrow see That life to us was death to Thee. 4 'Tis finished! let the joyful sound Be heard through all the nations round: 'Tis finished! let the triumph rise, And swell the chorus of the skies.

Thou laidst aside, Naught shall abide, Save by the love that bleedeth. 4 Thy cross to victory Thou didst bear. Oh, grant that I, dear Saviour, May glory in the cross and share The heavenly joy and favor! Then shall my soul Have reached its goal Safe in Thy loving bosom.

The Little While I Linger Here

Author: Frans Michael Franzen, 1772-1847 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The little while I linger here Should grief and fear o'ertake me? No; Jesus is my Shepherd dear, He never will forsake me. He gave His life to save the herd, And with His Spirit and His Word, Is present with us always. 2 I hear Him speak, I know His voice, I go where'er He beckons. His own He knows, they are His choice, Their numbers, too, He reckons. And He will seek the straying sheep, The feeble in His bosom keep, And gently raise the fallen. 3 He strengthens me with living bread, With waters sweet and gracious, Which flow from life's great fountain-head, With peace and joy most precious. Though rough and thorny is my way, If from His path I do not stray, I shall not be discouraged. 4 O Thou who saidst, "Away from me No one shall snatch them ever." Thee I implore, to Thee I fee, Ah leave, forsake me, never! The world allures; oh, guide me through, That with the blesséd I may view thy Father's glorious mansions. 5 How vain the worldling's pomp and show, How brief His joys and pleasures! The night approaches now, and lo! We leave all earthly treasures. And then what is all earthly bliss to that blest promise, Where He is We shall be with Him also!

Dear Jesus, I would come to Thee, Be Thine throughout eternity. 2 The world to me is dark and dreary: My evil heart does cause me grief. Redeemer, I am sad and weary, Give Thou my troubled soul relief. Come, precious Jesus, lead Thou me, And keep me ever near to Thee. 3 With Thee I'm safe from every danger, But only Lord, when in Thy care: For here on earth I'm but a stranger, And prone to fall in every snare. Thou art the true and living Way, Blest Jesus, keep me Thine alway. Amen. Topics: Sanctification Used With Tune: O HERRE JESUS, VID DITT HJÄRTA Text Sources: Hemlandssänger

Jesus Keep in Memory Ever

Author: Franz Michael Franzen, 1772-1847 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus keep in memory ever Wouldst thou be God's child and friend; Let thy heart forget Him never, Still thy gaze on Jesus bend. In thy rest and in thy labor Look to Him with every breath, Look to Jesus' life and death. 2 Look to Jesus, till reviving Faith and love thy bosom swell; Strength for all things good deriving From Him who did all things well; Work as He did, in thy season, Works which shall not fade away, Work while it is called to-day. 3 Look to Jesus, praying, waking, When thy feet on roses, tread; Follow, worldly pomp forsaking, With thy cross, where He Hath led. Look to Jesus in temptation; Baffled shall the tempter flee, And God's angels come to thee. 4 Look to Jesus, when dark lowering Perils thy horizon dim; Unlike His disciples cowering, Calm 'mid tempests look on Him. Trust in Him who still rebuketh Wind and billow, fire and flood; Forward! then, and trust in God. 5 Look to Jesus when distresséd, See what He, the Sinless, bore Is thy heart with conflict presséd? Is thy soul still harassed sore? See His bloody sweat, His conflict Watch His agony increase, Hear His prayer, and taste His peace! 6 Art thou by sore want surrounded? Do thy pains press forth thy sighs? Art thou wronged and deeply wounded? Does a scornful world despise? Friends forsake thee or deny thee? See what Jesus must endure, He who as the light was pure! 7 Look to Jesus still to shield thee When this dwelling thou must leave In that last need He will shield thee Peace the world can never give. Look to Him, thy head low bending: He, who finished all for thee, Takes thee then with Him to be. Topics: Sanctification Used With Tune: JESUS! DU DIG SJÄLF UPPVÄCKTE
