The Spirit's fruits are peace and love

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Twenty Second Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The Spirit's fruits are peace and love, And purity from heav'n above; Grace, meekness, gentleness, and joy, With goodness, new-born lives employ. 2 The Spirit makes life's pathway plain, Imparts the grace that will sustain; And grace its work in those who show, Who truly to the Spirit sow. 3 They that are Christ's have crucified Their flesh with all its lusts and pride, And seek in truth what they profess, And walk the paths of holiness. 4 Lord, fill with grace our wayward heart, Nor let Thy Spirit from us part; O save us from still hidden sin, And form our nature pure within: 5 That watchful, prayerful, sober, strong, We grow the more as strifes prolong, And of the Spirit reap at last Eternal life, when strife is past.

For help, O whither shall I flee?

Author: J. Neander Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Twenty-second Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 For help, O whither shall I flee? Who now to peace will guide me? To none, dear Savior, but to Thee, Can I with hope confide me. 'Tis Thine to give the weary rest, The mourning soul in Thee is blest,-- Help, Jesus, the afflicted! 2 My sin, O Lord, is now my grief, Against my will it rages: Thy grace alone an bring relief, While sin its warfare wages, All that I need is known to Thee, And now a part myself can see,-- Help, Jesus, the sin-burdened! 3 Good Shepherd, bearest Thou the weak? Sustain me in my weakness! Thou great Physician of the sick, Heal Thou my moral sickness! A prey to death I helpless fall,-- For health and strength to Thee I call, Save, Jesus, or I perish! 4 To those who trust Thee--"Nothing fear? I am the life!"--Thou criest; Seeks not my soul, with strong desire, The life which Thou suppliest? Though all my sorrows Thou canst lead, In death provide for every need-- Help, Jesus, the confiding. 5 I would do good, but still I fail,-- Must I thus always waver? What grief it gives Thou knowest well. Who shall my soul deliver, And set the salve for ever free From sin and death to live with Thee?-- I thank Thee, God, through Jesus!

Day of wrath, that Day of mourning!

Author: Thomas de Celano; William Joseph Irons Appears in 110 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternity Judgment; Advent, Second Sunday; Twenty Sixth Sunday after Trinity; Twentieth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath, that Day of mourning! See fulfilled the prophet's warning, Heaven and earth in ashes burning! 2 O what fear man's bosom rendeth, When from heaven the Judge descendeth, On whose sentence all dependeth? 3 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth, Through earth's sepulchres it ringeth, All before the throne it bringeth. 4 Death is struck, and nature quaking; All creation is awaking, To its Judge an answer making. 5 Lo, the Book, exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded; Thence shall judgment be awarded. 6 When the Judge His seat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unavenged remaineth. 7 What shall I, frail man, be pleading? Who for me be interceding, When the just are mercy needing? 8 King of Majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity, then befriend us! 9 Think, kind Jesus! my salvation Caused Thy wondrous Incarnation; Leave me not to reprobation! 10 Faint and weary thou hast sought me, On the Cross of suff'ring bought me; Shall such grace in vain be brought me? 11 Righteous Judge of retribution, Grant Thy gift of absolution, Ere that day's dread execution. 12 Guilty, now I our my moaning, All my shame with anguish owning! Spare, O God, Thy suppliant, groaning! 13 Thou the woman gavest remission, Heard'st the dying thief's petition: Hopeless else were my condition. 14 Worthless are my prayers and sighing, Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, Rescue me from fires undying! 15 With Thy favored sheep, O place me! Nor amid the goats abase me: But to Thy right hand upraise me. 16 While the wicked are confounded, Doomed to flames of woe unbounded, Call me, with Thy saints surrounded. 17 Bows my heart in meek submission, Strewn with ashes of contrition; Succor Thou my lost condition! 18 Day of sorrows, Day of weeping, When, in dust no longer sleeping, Man awakes in Thy dread keeping! 19 To the Rest Thou didst prepare me, On Thy Cross, O Christ, upbear me? Spare, O God, in mercy spare me! Used With Tune: DIES IRAE, DIES ILLA

I was a wandering sheep

I was a wayward child, I did not love my home; I did not love my Father's voice, I loved afar to roam. 2 The Shepherd sought His sheep, The Father sought His child; They followed me o'er vale and hill, O'er deserts waste and wild: They found me nigh to death, Famished, and faint, and lone; They bound me with the bands of love, They saved the wandering one. 3 Jesus my Shepherd is; 'Twas He that loved my soul, 'Twas He that washed me in His Blood, 'Twas He that made me whole. 'Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wandering sheep; 'Twas He that brought me to the fold, 'Tis He that still doth keep. 4 I was a wandering sheep, I would not be controlled; But now I love my Shepherd's voice, I love, I love the fold! I was a wayward child, I once preferred to roam; But now I love my Father's voice, I love, I love His home. Used With Tune: THESSALONICA

How blesséd, from the bonds of sin

Author: Jane Borthwick; Charles John Spitta Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Twenty Second Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 How blesséd, from the bonds of sin, And earthly fetters free, In singleness of heart and aim Thy servant, Lord, to be! The hardest toil to undertake With joy at Thy command, The meanest office to receive With meekness at Thy hand! 2 With willing heart and longing eyes To watch before Thy gate, Ready to run the weary race, To bear the heavy weight; No voice of thunder to expect, But follow calm and still, For love can easily divine The One Belovèd's will. 3 Thus may I serve Thee, gracious Lord! Thus ever Thine alone, My soul and body given to Thee, The purchase Thou hast won; Through evil or through good report Still keeping at Thy side, By life or death, in this poor flesh Let Christ be magnified! 4 How happily the working days In this dear service fly! How rapidly the closing hour, The time of rest, draws night! When all the faithful gather home, A joyful company, And ever where the Master is, Shall His blest servants be. Used With Tune: MATHISON

Jeg gladelig begynde vil med Sang af Hjertens Grunde, Hjælp, Herre Gud, dertil! 2 Derved saa skal det blive, Som du lod fordum spaa, Og ved Esaias skrive, At før skal plat forgaa Den hele Himmel og vor Jord, Før nogen skal gjendrive Det mindste Guddoms-Ord. 3 Jesus kom hid til Verden, Han var Guds-Ordet bold, Hans Liv var Miskunds-Ferden, Dog blev han ilde solt Af Judas, som aad Brød med ham Saa gik det her i Verden Det lydesløse Lam! 4 Saa snart i Urtegaarden Han havde gjort sin Bøn, De fatte Hellebaarden For Brystet paa Guds Søn. Gud hjælpe os for Ret, han nød! Uskyldig, mod al Orden De dømte ham til Død. 5 Høit op paa Korset hengtes Saa den høibaarne Mand, Af Hjerte-Tørst han trængtes: Mig tørster! sagde han. Det var vor Fred og Salighed Og efter os, han længtes, Guds Søn af Evighed. 6 Han bøied ned sit Hoved, Og saa sin Aand opgav, Det bar Johannes provet; Blev tagen Korset af, Libløs og død i Graven lagt, Opstod, Gud være lovet, Den Dag, han havde sagt! 7 Da sine Læresvende Han bad at gaa med Ord Og Bud til Verdens Ende Og alle Folk paa Jord. At hvo, som tror og bliver døbt, Han Salighed skal kjende, Det haver Krist ham kjøbt. 8 Som Lukas monne skrive, Han for sin Himmelferd, Dog vil han hos os blive Med al sin Naade her, Og med sit sterke Guddoms Ord, Som ingen kan fordrive, Ei hele Helveds Port. 9 En Trøster han os sendte, Som er den Helligaand, Vil Sandhed i os prente, Og gange os til Haand, Den samme vil vi kalde paa; Hvad Jesus os fortjente, Han hjælpe os nat faa!
