Hark! 'tis the Savior's voice I hear

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #371 (1908) Topics: Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Hark! 'tis the Saviour's voice I hear, Come, trembling soul, dispel thy fear! He saith, and who His Word can doubt? He will in no wise cast you out! 2 Doth satan fill you with dismay, And tell you, Christ will cast away? It is a truth, why should you doubt? He will in no wise cast you out! 3 Doth sin appear before your view Of scarlet or of crimson hue? If black as hell, why should you doubt? He will in no wise cast you out! 4 The publican and dying thief Applied to Christ, and found relief; Nor need you entertain a doubt: He will in no wise cast you out! 5 Approach your God, make no delay, He waits to welcome you to-day; His mercy try, nor longer doubt; He will in no wise cast you out.

The man is ever blest

Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #375 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blest, Who shuns the sinner's ways; Among their counsels never stands, Nor takes the scorner's place: 2 But makes the law of God His study and delight, Amid the labors of the day, And watches of the night. 3 He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root; Fresh as the leaf, his name shall live; His works are heavenly fruit. 4 Not so the ungodly race, They no such blessings find; Their hopes shall flee, like empty chaff Before the driving wind. 5 How will they bear to stand Before that judgment-seat, Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet? 6 He knows and He approves, The way the righteous go; But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overthrow. Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MICHAEL

Come, ye that love the Lord

Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #376 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Come, ye that love the Lord, And let our joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, While ye surround His throne. Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our God; But servants of the heavenly King May speak their joys abroad. 2 The God that rules on high, That all the earth surveys, That rides upon the stormy sky, And calms the roaring seas: This awful God is ours, Our Father and our Love: He will send down His heavenly powers To carry us above. 3 There we shall see His face, And never, never sin: There, from the rivers of His grace, Drink endless pleasures in. The men of grace have found Glory begun below: Celestial fruit on earthly ground From faith and hope may grow. 4 The hill of Zion yields A thousand sacred sweets, Before we reach the heavenly fields, Or walk the golden streets. Then let our songs abound, And every tear be dry; We're marching through Emmanuel's ground To fairer worlds on high. Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA

How happy is the man who hears

Author: Michael Bruce Hymnal: Church Book #377 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O happy is the man who hears Instruction’s warning voice, And who celestial wisdom makes His early, only choice! 2 For she has treasures greater far Than east or west unfold; And her rewards more precious are Than all their stores of gold. 3 She guides the young with innocence In pleasure’s paths to tread; A crown of glory she bestows Upon the hoary head. 4 According as her labors rise, So her rewards increase; Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.

Teach me, my God and King

Author: John Wesley; George Herbert Hymnal: Church Book #383 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Teach me, my God and King, In all things Thee to see, And what I do in anything, To do it as for Thee! 2 To scorn the senses' sway, While still to Thee I tend: In all I do be Thou the Way, In all be Thou the End! 3 All may of Thee partake; Nothing so small can be, But draws, when acted for Thy sake, Greatness and worth from Thee. 4 If done to obey Thy laws, Even servile labors shine: Hallowed is toil, if this the cause, The meanest work divine.

Blest Instructor! from Thy ways

Author: James Merrick Hymnal: Church Book #390 (1890) Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Blest Instructor! from Thy ways, Who can tell how oft he strays! Save from error's growth my mind; Leave not, Lord, one root behind. 2 Purge me from guilt, that lies Wrapt within my heart's disguise; Let me thence, by Thee renewed, Each presumptuous sin exclude. 3 Let my tongue, from error free, Speak the words approved by Thee! To thine all-observing eyes Let my thoughts accepted rise. 4 While I thus Thy Name adore, And Thy healing grace implore, Blest Redeemer, bow Thine ear! God, my Strength, propitious hear.

My God! permit me not to be

Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #391 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 My God! permit me not to be A stranger to myself and Thee: Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove, Forgetful of my highest love. 2 Why should my passions mix with earth, And thus debase my heavenly birth? Why should I cleave to things below, And let my God, my Saviour, go? 3 Call me away from flesh and sense; Thy sovereign word can draw me thence: I would obey the Voice divine, And all inferior joys resign.

The abyss of many a former sin

Author: Joseph of the Studium Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #400 (1913) Topics: The Church Year Third Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The abyss of many a former sin Encloses me, and bars me in: Like billows my transgressions roll-- Be Thou the pilot of my soul; And to salvation’s harbor bring, Thou Savior and Thou glorious King! 2 My Father’s heritage abused, Wasted by lust, by sin misused; To shame and want and misery brought, The slave to many a fruitless thought:-- I cry to Thee, who lovest men, O pity and receive again! 3 In hunger now, no more possessed Of that my portion bright and blest, The exile and the alien see, Who yet would fain return to Thee! Accept me, Lord, I seek Thy grace; And let me see a Father's face! 4 With that blest thief my prayer I make, Remember for Thy mercy’s sake! With that poor publican I cry, Be merciful, O God most high! With that lost prodigal I fain Back to my home would turn again! 5 Mourn, mourn, my soul, with earnest care, And raise to Christ the contrite prayer:— O Thou who freely wast made poor, My sorrows and my sins to cure, Me, poor of all good works, embrace, Enriching with Thy boundless grace! Tune Title: [The abyss of many a former sin]

Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith

Author: J. Heermann Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #401 (1913) Topics: The Church Year Third Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Third Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith, I would not have the sinner's death. Far rather 'tis My holy will, That in his course he should stand still. Repentant sinners I forgive, Then let them hear, believe, and live. 2 Think of this word, O guilty soul! Despair not: Christ can make thee whole, In Him there's pardon, peace, and grace; A sure and blessed hiding-place. The covenant, confirmed by blood, Doth stand upon the oath of God. 3 O trifle not the time away! Say not, "I'll come another day." Say not, "I'll have my soul's desire, And turn when of the world I tire." Say not, "I'll then converted be, God will be merciful to me." 4 'Tis true that God is rich in grace,-- Beholding His Anointed's face. The blood of Christ atoned for sin, He died eternal life to win; Yet God doth not vouchsafe to say That thou shalt live "another day." 5 O hasten, sinner, to be wise! Nor dare God's message to despise. He who this hour supplies thy breath, The next, may give thee o'er to death. And if thy sins are not forgiven, Thou'lt never, never enter heaven. 6 Then cry: "Lord Jesus, help Thou me, This very day I come to Thee! O give me peace, and from this hour Deliver me from Satan's power; That henceforth and eternally, Thyself my all in all may be!" Tune Title: [Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith]

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]
