Author: Frans Michael Franzén; Joel W. Lundeen; Olof Olsson Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals

Author: Frans Michael Franzen, 1772-1847 Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.7.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thine own, O loving Saviour, Thou bidst come near to Thee, Thy passion's fruits, Thy favor, Thy grace, Thou givest free. To them who by Thy grace and love Are members of Thy kingdom Now here and there above. 2 To us on earth yet dwelling; Thou dost descend to give, In love all love excelling, Thyself that we may live, And sayest ever kind and good: "Take, eat, this is My body, Take, drink, this is My blood." 3 We hear Thine invitation; We hear, O Lord, Thy call, The word of consolation, It is for us, for all; It draws us to Thy loving heart, It brings to us Thy blessing, It does Thy peace impart. 4 Thy heart is in all anguish, A refuge to the poor, Thy heart for us did languish, And bitter death endure. Thy heart yet filled with peace and rest, With comfort and salvation Draws near to every breast. 5 Thou still in loving favor To us, thine own, art near, To lead us as our Saviour Unto a Father dear, A Father willing to forgive The children Thou didst ransom, Those who through Thee shall live. 6 Thine own we are, and ever, Until our latest breath, Will we remain, and never In joy, in grief, in death. Depart from Thee; and all our days Thou art with us here present As Thine own promise says. Topics: The Lord's Supper Used With Tune: O JESU! ÄN DE DINA

From perils sore it shieldeth Thy trembling soul indeed; At last it rends the azure sky, The earth thy body yieldeth To join thy soul on high. 4 The crown of life is given To thee who faithful art, Who earnestly hast striven To serve with trusting heart. God moveth thee thy voice to raise, And sendeth thee from heaven Sweet tunes, His name to praise. 5 With voices sweetly ringing We therefore bless his hand, To Christ our tribute bringing With heaven's joyful band. He is the victor in the strife; His praises ever singing, We pass through death to life. Topics: Confirmation Used With Tune: [The Lord to thee appealeth]
