Thee will I love, Thou hast me given The light undimm'd by darkest day, Thee will I love whose blood was spilt To cleanse my soul from guilt. 3 So long wert Thou to me a stranger, Who first of all didst hold me dear; I sought afar in sin and danger The home that was with Thee so near, But love and peace for which I sigh'd With Thee alone abide. 4 Disown not, Lord, the child returning To Thee discouraged and forlorn. The tempting world I sought with yearning Had nought to give but grief and scorn. In Thee alone, for all its grief, My heart can find relief. 5 Thee will I love and worship ever, My God, my Lord and Brother dear. Must ev'ry worldly tie I sever And naught but scorn I suffer here, Thee will I love, my Lord divine; O Jesus, call me Thine.

Send preachers forth, in spirit strong, Armed with Thy Word, a dauntless host, Bold to attack the rule of wrong; Let them the earth for Thee reclaim, Thy heritage, to know Thy Name. 4 O let Thy Word have speedy course, Through every land be glorified, Till all the heathen know its force And fill Thy churches far and wide; Wake Israel from her sleep, O Lord, And spread the conquests of Thy Word! 5 The Church's desert paths restore; Let stumbling-blocks that in them lie Hinder Thy Word henceforth no more: Error destroy, and heresy; And let Thy Church, from hirelings free, Bloom as a garden fair to Thee!

Benjamin Schmolck, d. 1737 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Mój Jezus żyw, więc cóż śmierć znaczy Lyrics: 1 Mój Jezus żyw, więc cóż śmierć znaczy, gdy triumfuje głowa ma? W dziedzictwie żywot daec mi raczy, choć mą mogiłę zrosi łza. Zanucę więc radosny śpiew, bo mój Zbawiciel żyw! 2 Chwalebne zmartwychwstanie pana jest życiem i zwycięstwem mym; potęga śmierci jest złamana, nie zasnę wiecznej śmierci snem, już podwaliny piekieł drżą, Pan wstaje z chwałą swą! 3 Mój Jezus żyw, grób otworzony! Więc wesół w ciemny wstąpię grób, bo mój Zbawiciel uwielbiony i mnie do swych przygarnie stóp. O jakiż to cudowny śpiew: my żywi, bo Pan żyw! 4 Żywotem Jezus mi zostanie, w mym sercu już nie zaznam trwó; a choć nadejdzie me skonanie, nie zejdę z Jezusowych rąk. Powiedzie mnie do rajskich niw mój Jezus wiecznie żyw! Topics: Rok kościelny Wielkanoc Used With Tune: ICH WILL DICH LIEBEN, MEINE STÄRKE
