O Lord my God, I cry to Thee!
Author: Nicholas Selnecker; Miss Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 0 Lord my God, I cry to Thee!
In my distress Thou helpest me.
To Thee myself I all commend:
O swiftly now Thine angel send
To guide me home, and cheer my heart,
Since Thou dost call me to depart!
2 0 Jesus Christ, Thou Lamb of God,
Once slain to take away our load!
Now let Thy Cross, Thine agony,
Avail to save and solace me;
Thy Death to open heaven, and there
Bid me the joy of angels share.
3 0 Holy Spirit, at the end,
Sweet Comforter, be Thou my Friend!
When death and hell assail me sore,
Leave me, O leave me nevermore,
But bear me safely through the strife,
As Thou hast promised, into Life. Used With Tune: VENI CITO
O Lord my God, I cry to Thee!
When my last hour is close at hand
Author: Edgar Alfred Bowring; Nikolaus Hermann Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand,
My last sad journey taken,
Do Thou, Lord Jesus! by me stand,
Let me not be forsaken.
O Lord, my spirit I resign
Into Thy loving hands divine;
'Tis safe within Thy keeping.
2 Countless as sands upon the shore,
My sins may then appall me;
Yet, though my conscience vex me sore,
Despair shall not enthrall me:
For as I draw my latest breath,
I'll think, Lord Christ! upon Thy Death,
And there find consolation.
3 I shall not in the grave remain,
Since Thou death's bonds hast severed;
But hope with Thee to rise again,
From fear of death delivered,
For where Thou art, there I shall be.
That I may ever live with Thee:
This is my joy in dying.
4 And so to Jesus Christ I'll go,
My longing arms extending;
So fall asleep in slumber deep,
Slumber that knows no ending,
Till Jesus Christ, God's only Son,
Opens the gates of bliss, leads on
To heaven, to life eternal. Used With Tune: WENN MEIN STÜNDLEIN VORHANDEN IST
When my last hour is close at hand
Holy Ghost, Dispel Our Sadness

Augustus Montague Toplady Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 196 hymnals Topics: Church Year Pentecost; Sixth Sunday after Easter; Pentecost (Whitsunday); Trinity, Sixteenth Sunday; Comfort; Prayer for Light; Regeneration; Sanctification; Trials Lyrics: 1 Holy Ghost, dispel our sadness,
Pierce the clouds of sinful night;
Come, Thou Source of sweetest gladness,
Breathe Thy life, and spread Thy light!
Come, Thou best of all donations
God can give, or we implore!
Having Thy sweet consolations,
We need wish for nothing more.

As a gracious shower descend,
Bringing down the richest treasure
Man can wish, or God can send.
Author of the new creation!
Come with unction and with power;
Make our hearts Thy habitation;
On our souls Thy graces shower.
3 Manifest Thy love forever;
Fence us in on every side;
In distress be our Reliever,
Guard and teach, support and guide.
Hear, O hear our supplication.
Loving Spirit, God of peace!
Rest upon this congregation,
With the fullness of Thy grace.
Amen. Used With Tune: JESUS ÄR MIN VÄN DEN BÄSTE
Holy Ghost, Dispel Our Sadness
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Author: Richard Baxter Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 267 hymnals Topics: Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve Thee is my share,
And this Thy grace must give.
If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey;
If short, yet why should I be sad
To soar to endless day?
2 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than He went through before:
He that into God's kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.
Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blessed face to see;
For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be?
3 Then I shall end my sad complaints,
And weary sinful days,
And join with the triumphant saints,
That sing Jehovah's praise.
My knowledge of that Life is small,
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with Him. Used With Tune: OLD 137TH PSALM
Lord, it belongs not to my care
O mean may seem this house of clay
Author: Thomas H. Gill Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O mean may seem this house of clay,
Yet 'twas the Lord's abode;
Our feet may mourn this thorny way,
Yet here Emmanuel trod.
2 This fleshly robe the Lord did wear;
This watch the Lord did keep;
These burdens sore the Lord did bear;
These tears the Lord did weep!
3 This world the Master overcame;
This death the Lord did die:
O vanquished world! O glorious shame!
O hallowed agony!
4 O vale of tears, no longer sad,
Wherein the Lord did dwell!
O holy robe of flesh that clad
Our own Emmanuel!
5 Our very frailty brings us near
Unto the Lord of heaven;
To every grief, to every tear,
Such glory strange is given.
Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL
O mean may seem this house of clay
Shall man, O God of light and life
Author: Timothy Dwight Appears in 114 hymnals Topics: Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Shall man, O God of light and life,
Forever moulder in the grave?
Canst Thou forget Thy glorious work,
Thy promise and Thy pow'r to save?
2 Shall life revisit dying worms,
And spread the joyful insect's wing!
And, oh! shall man awake no more
To see Thy face, Thy name to sing?
3 Cease, cease, ye vain desponding fears!
When Christ, our Lord, from darkness sprung,
Death, the last foe, was captive led,
And heav'n with praise and wonder rung.
4 Him, the First-Fruits, His chosen sons
Shall follow from the vanquished grave;
He mounts His throne, the King of kings,
His Church to quicken and to save.
5 Faith sees the bright, eternal doors
Unfold to make His children way;
They shall be clothed with endless life,
And shine in everlasting day.
6 The trump shall sound, the dust awake;
And from the tomb the slumb'rers spring;
Through heav'n the joyful myriads rise,
And hail their Savior and their King. Used With Tune: OLIVE'S BROW

Heaven is my home;

Those I love most and best,
Grant me with them to rest;
Heaven is my home.

Heaven is my home;
Whate'er my earthly lot,
Heaven is my home.
And I shall surely stand
There at my Lord's right hand,
Heaven is my fatherland:
Heaven is my home! Used With Tune: [I'm but a stranger here]

Thou hast shed the human tear;

For our own departing souls,
When our final doom is near,

Thou the blood of life hast shed,
Thou hast filled a mortal bier;
Jesus, Son of Mary, hear!
5 When the heart is sad within
With the thought of all its sin,
When the spirit shrinks with fear,
Jesus, Son of Mary, hear!

Though the sins were not Thine own;
Thou hast deigned their load to bear;
Jesus, Son of Mary, hear! Used With Tune: [When our heads are bowed with woe]

Come, with Thy grace and heavenly aid,
To fill the hearts which Thou hast made.

And make our hearts o'erflow with love;
With patience firm and virtue high,
The weakness of our flesh supply.
3 Far from us drive the foe we dread,
And grant us Thy true peace instead;
So shall we not, with Thee for guide,
Turn from the path of life aside. Used With Tune: OLIVE'S BROW

Will His changeless goodness prove;
From the gloom Him brightness streameth;
God is wisdom, God is love.
4 He with earthly care entwineth
Hope and comfort from above;
Everywhere His glory shineth;
God is wisdom, God is love. Used With Tune: TALMAR (Chester-Dorrnance)
God is love: His mercy brightens
