O Love that wilt not let me go

Author: George Matheson, 1842 - 1906 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #402 (1958) Topics: The Church Year Lent; The Church Year Holy Week Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in thee; I give thee back the life I owe, That in thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be. 2 O Light that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day May brighter, fairer be. 3 O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, And feel the promise is not vain That morn shall tearless be. 4 O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee; I lay in dust life’s glory dead, And from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be.

Though we long, in sin-wrought blindness

Author: F.T. Palgrave Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #402 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Topics: The Church Year Third Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Though we long, in sin-wrought blindness, From Thy gracious paths have strayed, Cold to Thee and all Thy kindness, Wilful, reckless, or afraid; Through dim clouds that gather round us Thou hast sought, and Thou hast found us. 2 Oft from Thee we veil our faces Children-like, to cheat thine eyes; Sin, and hope to hide the traces! From ourselves ourselves disguise; 'Neath the webs enwoven round us, Thy soul-piercing glance has found us. 3 Sudden, 'midst our idle hours, O'er our sin thy thunders roll, Death his signal waves before us, Night and terror take the soul; Till through double darkness round us, Looks a star,--and Tho hast found us. 4 O most Merciful, most Holy, Light Thy wanderers on their way; Keep us ever thine, thine wholly, Suffer us no more to stray! Cloud and storm oft gather round us; We were lost, but Thou hast found us. Tune Title: [Though we long, in sin-wrought blindness]

God, we praise you, God, we bless you!

Author: Christopher Idle (b. 1938) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #402 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Church Year Good Friday Lyrics: 1 God, we praise you, God, we bless you! God, we name you sovereign Lord! Mighty King whom angels worship, Father, by your Church adored: all creation shows your glory, heaven and earth draw near your throne, singing, 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord of hosts, and God alone!' 2 True apostles, faithful prophets, saints who set their world ablaze, martyrs, once unknown, unheeded, join one growing song of praise, while your Church on earth confesses one majestic Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, God, our hope eternally. 3 Jesus Christ, the King of glory, everlasting Son of God, humble was your virgin mother, hard the lonely path you trod. By your cross is sin defeated, hell confronted face to face, heaven opened to believers, sinners justified by grace. 4 Christ, at God's right hand victorious, you will judge the world you made; Lord, in mercy help your servants for whose freedom you have paid. Raise us up from dust to glory, guard us from all sin today; King enthroned above all praises, save your people, God, we pray! Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: REX GLORIAE

I here am sore beset, Fears at every step confound me; Lo! my foes have spread their net, And with craft and might surround me; Such their snares on every side, Safe Thy sheep can ne'er abide. 4 See, on earth's wide desert way How my truant steps mislead me; Bring me back, no more to stray, In Thine own green pastures feed me. Gather me within the fold, Where Thy lambs Thy light behold. Tune Title: [Wilt thou not, my Shepherd true]

Praise Him in tuneful measures, Who gave His Son to die; Praise Him whose sevenfold treasures, Enrich and sanctify! 2 Once on the dreary mountain We wandered far and wide, Far from the cleansing fountain, Far from the piercéd side; But Jesus sought and found us, And washed our guilt away; With cords of love He bound us To be His own for aye. 3 Dear Master, Thine the glory Of each recovered soul; Ah! who can tell the story Of love that made us whole? Not ours, not ours the merit; Be Thine alone the praise, And ours a thankful spirit To serve Thee all our days. 4 Now keep us, Holy Savior, In Thy true love and fear; And grant us of Thy favor The grace to persevere; Till, in Thy new creation, Earth’s time-long travail o’er, We find our full salvation, And praise Thee evermore.

On Zion it doth sweetly fall: The grace of one descends on all. 4 E'en now our Lord doth pour The blessing from above, A kindly, gracious shower Of heart-reviving love, The former and the latter rain, The love of God and love of man. 5 In Him when brethren join, And follow after peace, The fellowship divine He promises to bless: His choicest graces to bestow, Where two or three are met below. 6 The riches of His grace In fellowship are given To Zion's chosen race, The citizens of heaven; He fills them with His choicest store, He gives them life for evermore.

Brethren, called by one vocation

Author: C.J.P. Spitta Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #407 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Brethren, called by one vocation, Members of one family, Heirs through Christ of one salvation, Let us live in harmony; Nor by strife embitter life, Journeying to eternity. 2 In a land where all are strangers, And our sojourning so short, In the midst of common dangers, Concord is our best support; Heart with heart divides the smart, Lightens grief of every sort. 3 Let us shun all vain contention Touching words and outward things, Whence alas! so much dissension And such bitter rancor springs; Troubles cease, where Christ brings peace And sweet healing of His wings. 4 Judge not hastily of others, But thine own salvation ind; Nor be captious to thy brother's, To thine won offenses blind; God alone discerns thine own, And the hearts of all mankind. 5 Let it be our chief endeavor, That we may the Lord obey, Then shall envy ease forever, And all hate be done away; Free from strife shall be his life Who serves God both night and day!

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Author: H. F. Lyte Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #408 (1913) Topics: The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, and hoped, and known, Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me; They have left my Savior, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like them, untrue; And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love and might, Foes may hate, and friends may shun me; Show Thy face and all is bright. 3 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure! Come disaster, scorn and pain! In Thy service, pain is pleasure; With Thy favor, loss is gain. I have called Thee Abba, Father; I have stayed my heart on Thee; Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, All must work for good to me. 4 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me, O 'twere not in joy to charm me Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 5 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find in every station, Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Savior died to win thee; Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 6 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Tune Title: [Jesus, I my cross have taken]

Sun, and moon, and stars decay; Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise, my soul, and haste away To seats prepared above. 2 Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course; Fire ascending seeks the sun; Both speed them to their source: So a soul that’s born of God Pants to view His glorious face; Upward tends to His abode, To rest in His embrace. 3 Cease, my soul, O cease to mourn! Press onward to the prize; Soon thy Savior will return, To take thee to the skies; There is everlasting peace, Rest, enduring rest in heaven, There will sorrow ever cease, And crowns of joy be given. Tune Title: [Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings]

And while His name confessing Whom I in faith have known, Grant me Thy constant blessing; Make me for aye Thine own. Tune Title: [Let me be Thine forever]
