When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay

Author: Thomas Gibbons Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: Second Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay, What were His works from day to day, But miracles of pow'r and grace, Which spread salvation thro' our race? 2 Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view Thy pattern, and Thy steps pursue: Let alms bestowed, let kindness done, Be witnessed by each rolling sun. 3 That man may last, but never lives, Who much receives, but nothing gives: Whom none can love, whom none can thank, Creation's blot, creation's blank. 4 But he who marks from day to day In gen'rous acts his radiant way, The same path treads the Savior trod, The path to glory and to God.

While a bright evidence of grace Through his whole life appears and shines. Used With Tune: EVENING PRAYER

Ah tear it thence, and reign alone, The Lord of every motion there; Then shall my heart from earth be free, When it hath found repose in Thee. 3 Each moment draw from earth away, My heart, that lowly waits Thy call; Speak to my inmost soul, and say, "I am Thy Love, Thy God, Thy All!" To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice, To taste Thy Love, be all my choice. Used With Tune: LAMBERT

Great God, what do I see and hear!

Author: William Bengo Collyer Appears in 300 hymnals Topics: Twenty Second Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of man I see appear, On clouds of glory seated. The trumpet sounds: the graves restore The dead which they contained before; Prepare, my soul, to meet Him. 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise, At the last trumpet's sounding, Caught up to meet Him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding; No gloomy fears their souls dismay; His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet Him. 3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears, Behold His wrath prevailing, For they shall rise, and find their tears And sighs are unavailing; The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet Him. 4 O Christ, who diedst and yet dost live, To me impart Thy merit; My pardon seal, my sins forgive, And cleanse me by Thy Spirit. Beneath Thy Cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepare to meet Thee. Used With Tune: WENN ICH IN TODESNÖTHEN BIN

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Faith; Second Sunday in Lent; First Sunday after Easter; Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Faith is wisdom from on high, Hearing ear and seeing eye; In the soul a higher light Than the ken of mortal sight: Vivid trust in hope serene, Evidence of things not seen. 2 Faith in meekness, as is meet, Sits and learns at Jesus' feet; Nestles closely to the Lord, Happy in the Master's Word; Cleaves to it, defends it then: This to faith is Yea, Amen. 3 Faith is sure, where sight is blind: While lost sense may nowhere find Hope, to stay a sinking soul When the billows o'er it roll, Faith directs its saving quest To the cross, and there finds rest. 4 Faith, in childlike trust, is wise: Trusting Him who never lies; By whose grace the weak grow strong, Change their sighing into song. Praise be Thine, O Lord of might! Faith shall end in glorious sight. Used With Tune: SULLIVAN
