Author: A. C. Coxe Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O who like Thee, so calm, so bright, Lord Jesus Christ, Thou Light of light, O who like Thee did ever go So patient through a world of woe; So meek, so lowly, yet so high, So glorious in humility? 2 O wondrous Lord, our souls would be Still more and more conformed to Thee; Would lose the pride, the taint of sin, That burns these fevered veins within; And learn of Thee, the lowly one, And like Thee all our journey run. 3 O grant us ever on the road To trace the footsteps of our God; That when Thou shalt appear, arrayed In light to judge the quick and dead, We may to life immortal soar, Through Thee, who livest evermore.

Author: Karl Heinrich von Bogatsky; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, Thou Spirit, Who didst fire The watchmen of the Church’s youth, Who faced the foe’s envenomed ire, Who witnessed day and night Thy truth, Whose voices loud are ringing still, And bringing hosts to know Thy will. 2 Lord, let our earnest prayers be heard, The prayer Thy Son hath bid us pray; For lo, Thy children’s hearts are stirred In every land in this our day, To cry with fervent soul to Thee, O help us, Lord, so let it be! 3 O haste to help, ere we are lost! 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! Amen. Topics: The Church The Ministry Used With Tune: ICH WILL DICH LIEBEN

Thee Will I Love, My Strength, My Treasure

Author: Egede Glahn Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thee will I love, my Strength, my Treasure, My heart in Thee finds peace and joy; Thee will I love in fullest measure, And in Thy cause my life employ; Thee will I love and serve alone. Lord, take me as Thine own. 2 Thee will I love, Thou Life from heaven, Thou leadest me on life's true way. 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.

Author: ks. Benjamin Schmolck, d. 1737 Appears in 1 hymnal 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
