Thou art the way; to Thee alone
Author: George Washington Doane Appears in 624 hymnals Topics: Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Thou art the way: to Thee alone
From sin and death we flee;
And he who would the Father seek
Must seek Him, Lord, thro' Thee.
2 Thou art the truth: Thy Word alone
True wisdom can impart;
Thou only canst instruct the mind,
And purify the heart.
3 Thou art the life: the rending tomb
Proclaims Thy conqu'ring arm;
And those who put their trust in Thee
Nor death nor hell shall harm.
4 Thou art the way, the truth, the life;
Grant us to know that way,
That truth to keep, that life to win,
Which lead to endless day. Used With Tune: DUNDEE
Thou art the way; to Thee alone
Come, my soul, thy suit prepare
Author: John Newton Appears in 727 hymnals Topics: Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, thy suit prepare,
Jesus loves to answer prayer;
He Himself has bid thee pray,
Therefore will not say thee nay.
2 Thou art coming to a King;
Large petitions with thee bring;
For His grace and power are such,
None can ever ask too much.
3 With my burden I begin;
Lord, remove this load of sin!
Let Thy Blood, for sinners spilt,
Set my conscience free from guilt.
4 Lord, I come to Thee for rest!
Take possession of my breast;
There Thy blood-bought right maintain,
And without a rival reign.
5 While I am a pilgrim here,
Let Thy love my spirit cheer;
As my Guide, my Guard, my Friend,
Lead me to my journey's end.
6 Show me what I have to do,
Every hour my strength renew;
Let me live a life of faith,
Let me live Thy people's death. Used With Tune: REDHEAD, 47
Come, my soul, thy suit prepare
Nu bør ei Synden mere
Author: Kingo Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Sunday; Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 Nu bør ei Synden mere
Med Magt og Herredom
Udi mit Kjød regjere,
Men daglig kastes om;
Thi jeg i Daaben er
Af Gud til Naade taget,
Har i den Pagt forsaget
Al' Satans Gjerninger.
2 Vil jeg af Daaben bramme
Og af min Jesu Død,
O, hvor maa jeg mig skamme,
Om jeg, som er gjenfød,
Ei kaster Bolt og Baand
Paa Synden, naar den fødes,
At den maa daglig dødes
Ved Herrens kraftig' Aand.
3 Hvad Trøst kan det mig give,
At Jesus ham opstod,
Om jeg vil stedse blive
Foruden Bøn og Bod
Forhærdet i min Synd,
Og altid mig indælte
I Vellyst og mig vælte
Af et i andet Dynd?
4 Nei, nei! jeg bør at lade
I Liv og Gjerning se,
At jeg vil Synden hade,
Og mig saaledes te,
At daglig jeg opstaar,
Og med al Hjertens Glæde
Vil Synden undertræde
Ved ham, som alt formaar.
5 O hjælp, at jeg korsfæster
Den gamle Adam saa,
At han ei bliver Mester;
O hjælp mig, at jeg maa
I Live være død
Fra Synd, fra Skam og Laster,
Som mig i Døden kaster,
Hjælp, Jesus, af den Nød!
6 Thi naar jeg ret har smaget
Din Døds og Pines Fynd,
Paa Dør er Satan jaget
Og hadet hver en Synd;
Jeg lever Synden ei,
Men tragter kun at trine
Ved Jesu Død og Pine
Paa Livsens rette Vei.
Nu bør ei Synden mere
May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfill
Author: Edward Osler Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfill,
And do on earth our Father's will,
As angels do above:
Still walk in Christ, the living Way,
With all Thy children, and obey
The law of Christian love,
The law of Christian love.
2 So may we join Thy Name to bless,
Thy grace adore, Thy power confess,
From sin and strife to flee:
One is our calling, one our name,
The end of all our hopes the same,
A crown of life with Thee.
3 Spirit of life, of love and peace,
Unite our hearts, our joy increase.
Thy gracious help supply:
To each of us the blessing give,
In Christian fellowship to live,
In joyful hope to die. Used With Tune: ARIEL
May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfill
O Lord, turn not Thy face from me
Author: John Mardley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 44 hymnals Topics: Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O Lord, turn not Thy face from me,
Who lie in woful state,
Lamenting all my sinful life
Before Thy mercy-gate:
2 A gate which opens wide to those
That do lament their sin:
Shut not that gate against me, Lord;
But let me enter in.
3 And call me not to strict account
How I have sojourned here;
For then my guilty conscience knows
How vile I shall appear.
4 So come I to Thy mercy-gate,
Where mercy doth abound,
Imploring pardon for my sin,
To heal my deadly wound.
5 O Lord, I need not to repeat
The comfort I would have:
Thou know'st, O Lord, before I ask,
The blessing I do crave.
6 Mercy, good Lord, mercy, I ask,
This is the total sum;
For mercy, Lord, is all my suit;
Lord, let Thy mercy come! Used With Tune: FARRANT
O Lord, turn not Thy face from me
O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 347 hymnals Topics: Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry,
Though all my crimes before Thee lie,
Behold them not with angry look,
But blot their memory from Thy book.
2 Create my nature pure within,
And form my soul averse to sin;
Let Thy good Spirit ne'er depart,
Nor hide Thy presence from my heart.
3 I cannot live without Thy light,
Cast out and banish from Thy sight;
Thy holy joys, my God, restore,
And guard me that I fall no more.
4 Though I have grieved Thy Spirit, Lord,
His help and comfort still afford;
And let me now come near Thy throne,
To plead the merits of Thy Son.
5 A broken heart, my God, my King,
Is all the sacrifice I bring;
Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye,
And save the soul condemned to die.
6 O may Thy love inspire my tongue!
Salvation shall be all my song;
And all my powers shall join to bless
The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 51 Used With Tune: ST. GOAR

One wretched sinner die,
Who diedst Thyself, my soul to save
From endless misery!
Teach me my course to run,
While yet I sojourn here,
That when Thou comest on Thy throne
I may with joy appear.
2 Thou art Thyself the Way,
Thyself in me reveal;
So shall I pass my life's short day
Obedient to Thy will;
So shall I love my God,
Because He first loved me,
And praise Thee in Thy bright abode,
Through all eternity. Used With Tune: GÖTTINGEN

And wilt Thou pardon, Lord

A sinner such as I?
Although Thy book his crimes record,
Of such a crimson dye?

So terrible their fear;--
The righteous scarcely shall be saved,
And where shall I appear?
3 O Thou, Physician blest,
Make clean my guilty soul!
And me, by many a sin opprest,
Restore, and keep me whole!
4 I know not how to praise
Thy mercy and Thy love;
But deign Thy servant to upraise,
And I shall learn above. Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE
And wilt Thou pardon, Lord
How helpless guilty nature lies
Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 233 hymnals Topics: Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 How helpless guilty nature lies,
Unconscious of its load!
The heart unchanged can never rise
To happiness and God.
2 Can aught, beneath a power divine
The stubborn will subdue?
’Tis Thine, Almighty Saviour, Thine
To form the heart anew.
3 ’Tis Thine, the passions to recall,
And upward bid them rise;
To make the scales of error fall
From reason’s darkened eyes.
4 To chase the shades of death away,
And bid the sinner live,
A beam of heaven, a vital ray
’Tis Thine alone to give.
5 O change these wretched hearts of ours,
And give them life divine!
Then shall our passions and our powers,
Almighty Lord,! be Thine. Used With Tune: SALISBURY
How helpless guilty nature lies
O God, Thou faithful God
Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God,
Thou Fountain ever-flowing,
Without whom nothing is,
All perfect gifts bestowing;
A pure and healthy frame
O give me, and within
A conscience free from blame,
A soul unhurt by sin.
2 And grant me, Lord, to do
With ready heart and willing,
Whate'er Thou shalt command,
My calling here fulfilling;
To do it when I ought,
With all my strength, and bless
The work I thus have wrought,
For Thou must give success.
3 And let me promise naught
But I can keep it truly,
Abstain from idle words,
And guard my lips still duly;
And grant, when in my place
I must and ought to speak,
My words due power and grace;
Nor let me wound the weak.
4 If dangers gather round,
Still keep me calm and fearless;
Help me to bear the cross,
When life is dark and cheerless;
To overcome my foe
With words and actions kind;
When counsel I would know,
Good counsel let me find.
5 And let me be with all
In peace and friendship living,
As far as Christians may;
And if Thou aught art giving
Of wealth and honors fair,
That nought be mingled there
Of goods unjustly got.
6 And if a longer life
Be here on earth decreed me,
And Thou through many a strife
To ripe old age wilt lead me,
Thy patience in me shed.
Avert all sin and shame,
And crown my hoary head
With pure untarnished fame.
7 Let nothing here earth
Me from my Savior sever;
And when I die, O take
My soul to Thee forever;
And let my body have
A little space to sleep
Beside my kindred' grave,
And o'er it vigil keep.
8 And when the Day is come,
And all the dead are waking,
O reach me down Thy hand,
Thyself my slumbers breaking;
Then let me hear Thy voice,
And change this earthly frame,
And bid me aye rejoice
With those who love Thy name. Used With Tune: MUNICH (O Gott, du frommer Gott)
O God, Thou faithful God
