When in the Hour of Deepest Need

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Paul Eber, 1511-1569 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 13 (Year A) Lyrics: 1 When in the hour of deepest need We know not where to look for aid; When days and nights of anxious thought No help or counsel yet have brought; 2 Our comfort then is this alone: That we may meet before your throne And cry to you, O faithful God, For rescue from our sorry lot. 3 For you have made a promise true To pardon those who flee to you, Through him whose name alone is great, Our Savior and our advocate. 4 And so we come, O God, today And all our woes before you lay; For sorely tried, cast down, we stand, Perplexed by fears on ev'ry hand. 5 Oh, from our sins hide not your face; Absolve us through your boundless grace! Be with us in our anguish still! Free us at last from ev'ry ill! 6 So we with all our hearts each day To you our glad thanksgiving pay, Then walk obedient to your Word, And now and ever praise you, Lord.

Soldiers of Christ, arise

Author: C. Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 892 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 13 The Suffering Community Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise and put your armor on; strong in the strength that God supplies through his eternal Son; 2 Strong in the Lord of hosts, and in his mighty power; who in the strength of Jesus trusts is more than conqueror. 3 Stand then in his great might, with all his strength endued; and take, to arm you for the fight, the weapons of our God; 4 To keep your armour bright attend with constant care, and walking in your captain's sight and keeping watch with prayer. 5 From strength to strength go on: wrestle and fight and pray; tread all the powers of darkness down and win the well-fought day: 6 Till, having all things done and all your conflicts past, you overcome through Christ alone and stand complete at last.

O Worship the King all glorious above

Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,140 hymnals Topics: God Love and Mercy; God the Father God in Nature; God the Father His Majesty and Power; Worship; liturgical Opening Hymns Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all-glorious above, O gratefully sing his power and his love: our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days, pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise. 2 O tell of his might and sing of his grace, whose robe is the light, whose canopy space. His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in you do we trust, nor find you to fail. Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end, our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! 5 O measureless Might, unchangeable Love, whom angels delight to worship above! Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze, in true adoration shall sing to your praise! Psalter Hymnal, (Gray)
