COMMUNION WITH CHRIST
Rescue the perishing, care for the dying
Meter: 11.10 Appears in 778 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
Weep o’er the erring ones, lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.
Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting,
Waiting the penitent child to receive;
Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently:
He will forgive, if they only believe.
2 Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter,
Hope that lies buried, God's grace can restore:
Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness,
Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.
Rescue the perishing, duty demands it;
Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide.
Back to the narrow way patiently win them,
Tell the poor wanderer a Saviour has died. Used With Tune: COMMUNION WITH CHRIST
Rescue the perishing, care for the dying
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Meter: 11.10 Appears in 912 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid;
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining,
Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore Him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all.
2 Shall we not yield Him, in costly devotion,
Odors of Edom and offerings divine,
Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gifts would His favor secure;
Richer by far is the heart's adoration,
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

Heavenly Spirit, All Others Transcending
Author: Johan Nordahl Brun Meter: 11.10.11.10.11.10.11.10 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Spirit, all others transcending,
Thou who with Father and Son dost abide!
Come Thou, our spirits in unity blending,
Come and make ready the heavenly bride!
Calling and gath'ring, and Jesus declaring,
Building God's Church, shedding light from above,
Come, O Thou Spirit of God, never tiring,
Come and interpret God's wonderful love!
2 Merciful Jesus, with love never failing,
Sending Thy Spirit the pledge ever new,
That Thy atonement for all is availing,
Faith ever sees that Thy promise is true.
Crown'd are Thy servants with heavenly fire,
Speaking with hearts and with tongues all aflame;
Heavenly Spirit, our voices inspire,
That we may sing of His glorious name!
3 Heav'nly Consoler, with unction celestial,
Heal Thou the wounds of each sin-burden'd heart!
Strengthen our faith, and with zeal Pentecostal
Fill our faint souls, and Thy blessings impart!
Create within us new hearts and new spirits;
Lead us in truth, and sustain us in woe;
Teach us true faith in the dear Savior's merits,
So that at death we Thy power may know!

Jesu, din søde Forening at smage
Author: Ukj.; P. J. Hygom Hymnal: M. B. Landstads Kirkesalmebog og "Nokre Salmar" ved Professor Dr. E. Blix, samt følgende tillæg #310 (1897) Lyrics: 1 Jesu, din søde Forening at smage
Længes og trænges mit Hjerte og Sind;
Riv mig fra alt det, mig holder tilbage,
Drag mig i dig, min Begyndelse, ind!
Viis mig ret klarlig min Jammer og Møie,
Viis mig Fordærvelsens Afgrund i mig,
At sig Naturen til Døden kan bøie,
Aanden alene maa leve for dig!
2 Styrk mig ret kraftig i Sjælen derinde,
At jeg kan finde, hvad Aanden formaar,
Tag dig til Fange min Tale og Sinde,
Leed mig og lok mig, saa svag som jeg gaar!
Mig, og hvad mit er, jeg gjerne vil miste,
Naar du alene i Sjælen maa bo,
Og sig omsider paa Døren maa liste,
Hvad som forstyrrer min inderlig' Ro.
3 O, hvo der kunde det Ene kun lære,
Sig at opofre med Hjerte og Hu!
O, maatte Jesus mit Alting kun være!
Jeg er desværre, langt borte endnu;
Jesu, som gav mig et hørende Øre,
Rek mig tillige din kraftige Haand,
At jeg herefter min Vandring maa føre
Ret som en Kristen i Helligheds Aand!
4 Hør dog, o Jesu, din kurrende Due,
Hyrde, opsøg dit vildfarende Lam!
Bær mig blandt Myrrha en lædskende Drue,
Rense mit Hjerte fra Synd og fra Skam!
Lad mig i Bogstavens Væsen ei blive,
Som kun udvortes gjør ærbar og sin;
Aanden lad Loven i Hjertet indskrive,
At jeg i Sandhed maa kalde mig din!
5 Jesu, naar vil du dog skaffe mig Hvile?
Byrden den trykker, ak, tag mig den af!
Naar skal jeg se dig ret venlig at smile?
Reis dig at true det brusende Hav!
Kjærligste Jesu, du maa dig forbarme,
Skjul dog det Aasyn ei evig for mig!
Ædleste Rigdom for aandelig Arme,
Fyld mit, det udtømte, Hjerte med dig!
6 Lad mig, o Jesu, forgjæves ei raabe,
Se dog hvor Sjælen er hungrig og træt!
Lad os, Immanuel, være tilhobe,
Har jeg dig ene, saa bliver jeg mæt!
Fordum du sagde: De maatte vansmægte,
Dersom jeg lader dem hungrige gaa,–
Evige Kjærlighed, kan du da nægte
Sjæle, der hungre, en Smule at faa?
7 Naadigste Jesu, nu vil jeg mig binde
Ved din den dyre Forjættelses Pagt:
Beder og leder, saa faa I og finde!
Saa har de sanddrue Læber jo sagt.
Jeg vil med Kvinden af Kanaans Egne
Raabe dig efter, og bliver ei stil,
Før du paa Bønnen til Slutning maa tegne:
Amen, ja Amen, dig ske, som du vil!

Thomas Moore
1779 - 1852 Person Name: T. Moore Author of "Come, Ye Disconsolate" in Lutheran Hymnal for the Sunday School Thomas Moore United Kingdom 1779-1852. Born at Dublin, Ireland, the son of a grocer, he showed an early interest in music and acting. He was educated at a private school and Trinity College, Dublin. He read at the Middle Temple for the Bar. Moore did not profess religious piety. His translations of ‘Anacreon’ (celebrating wine, women, and song) were published in 1800, with a dedication to the Prince of Wales. He also wrote a comic opera, “the gypsy prince”, staged that year. In 1801 he published a collection of his own verse, “Poetical works of the late Thomas Little Esq”. A Catholic patriot, he defended the Church of Ireland, especially in later politics. In 1803 he held a post under the Government in Bermuda as registrar of the Admiralty Prize Court. He was bored of it within six months and appointed a deputy to take his place while he left for a tour of North America. He secured high society introductions and even met with President, Thomas Jefferson. Returning to England in 1804, he published “Epistles, Odes, & other poems” in 1806. Moore criticized American slavery and was accused of licentious writings, veiled as refinement. Francis Jeffrey denounced Moore’s writings in the ‘Edinburgh Review’, and Moore challenged him to a duel, but it never happened, and they became friends. Between 1808-1810 he was found acting in various plays, favoring comic roles. He met the sister of one of the actresses and, in 1811, they married. Elizabeth ‘Bessy’ Dyke, was an actress. She had no dowry, and Moore kept their marriage secret from his parents for some time, as his wife was Protestant. Bessie shrank from fashionable society, but those who met her held her in high regard. They had five children, but none survived to adulthood. Three girls died young, and both sons lost their lives as young men. One son, Tom, died in some disgrace in the French Foreign Legion in Algeria. Despite these losses, their marriage was said to be a happy one. He also had political trouble. The man he appointed as his replacement in Bermuda was found to have embezzled 6000 pounds sterling, a large sum, for which Moore was liable. He left for France in 1819 to escape debtor’s prison. He also met Lord Byron in Venice and was entrusted with a manuscript of his memoirs, which he promised to have published after Byron’s death. Moore’s wife and children joined him in Paris, where he learned that some of the debt was repaid with help from Lord Lansdowne, whom Moore had given a draft of money from payment by his publisher. The family returned to England a year later. To support his family Moore entered the field of ‘squib writing’ on behalf of his Whig friends. This resulted in years of political debate about Catholics and Protestants in government. Nearly persuaded to forego his Catholic allegiance in favor of Protestantism, he finally concluded that Protestants did not make a sound case for their faith, as they denounced Catholics so vociferously for erroneous teaching. From 1835 -1846 Moore published a four volume “History of Ireland”, which was basically an indictment of English rule over Ireland. He was primarily a writer, poet, entertainer, and composer, considered politically as a writer for the aristocratic Whigs. His “Sacred songs” (32) were published in 1816, and again, in his “collected works” in 1866. His “Memoirs, Journal, and Correspondence” were published by Lord John Russell in 1855. Moore is essentially remembered for his highly-praised lyrics written for Irish melodies, as requested by his publishers, and his memoirs of Lord Byron, his friend. He died at Bromham, Wilshire, England.
John Perry
==================
Moore, Thomas, son of John Moore, a small tradesman at Dublin, was born in that city, May 28, 1779, educated at a private school and Trinity College, Dublin; read at the Middle Temple for the Bar; held a post under the Government in Bermuda for a short time, and died Feb. 26, 1852. His Memoirs, Journal, and Correspondence were published by Lord John Russell in 1855. In that work every detail concerning himself and his numerous publications, most of them of high poetical merit, will be found. His connection with hymnody is confined to his Sacred Songs, which were published in 1816, and again in his Collected Works, 1866. These Songs were 32 in all, and were written to popular airs of various nations. Of these Songs the following have passed into a few hymnbooks, mainly in America:—
1. As down in the sunless retreats of the ocean. Private Prayer.
2. But who shall see the glorious day. The Final Bliss of Man.
3. Come, ye disconsolate, where'er you languish. Belief in Prayer. In American hymnbooks the text is sometimes as in T. Hastings and Lowell Mason's Spiritual Songs, 1831. This may be distinguished from the original by the third stanza, which reads, "Here see the Bread of life; see waters flowing," &c.
4. Fallen is thy throne, O Israel. Israel in Exile.
5. Like morning when her early breeze. Power of Divine Grace.
6. O Thou Who driest the mourner's tear. Lent.
7. Since first Thy word [grace] awaked my heart. God All and in All.
8. Sound the loud timbrel o'er Egypt's dark sea. Deliverance of Israel.
9. The bird [dove] let loose in eastern skies. Prayer for Constancy.
10. The turf shall be my fragrant shrine. The Temple of Nature. From this "There's nothing bright above, below" is taken.
11. Thou art, O God, the Life and Light. God, the Light and Life of Men.
12. Were not the sinful Mary's tears? Lent.
Of these hymns No. 11 has attained the greatest popularity.

Blix, samt følgende tillæg In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
