Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish

Author: Thomas Moore Meter: 11.10 Appears in 1,091 hymnals Topics: Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Come, you disconsolate, where'er yelanguish; Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel; Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;-- Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. 2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, Hope, when all others die, fadeless and pure! Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot cure. 3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above; Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing Earth has no sorrow but Heaven can remove.

Your harps, ye trembling saints

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 358 hymnals Topics: Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Your harps, ye trembling saints, Down from the willows take; Loud, to the praise of Love divine, Bid every string awake. 2 Though in a foreign land, We are not far from home; And nearer to our house above We every moment come. 3 His grace will to the end Stronger and brighter shine; Nor present things, nor things to come, Shall quench the spark divine. 4 When we in darkness walk, Nor feel the heavenly flame, Then is the time to trust our God, And rest upon His Name. 5 Soon shall our doubts and fears Subside, at His control: His loving-kindness shall break through The midnight of the soul. 6 Blest is the man, O God, That stays himself on Thee! Who wait for Thy salvation, Lord, Shall Thy salvation see. Used With Tune: NARENZA

God is pledged; weak doubtings, hence! This shall be my confidence. 3 Jesus lives! for me He died, Hence will I, to Jesus living, Pure in heart and act abide, Praise to Him and glory giving. Freely God doth aid dispense; This shall be my confidence. 4 Jesus lives! I know full well, Naught from me His Love shall sever; Life, nor death, nor powers of hell, Part me now from Christ for ever. God will be a sure Defence: This shall be my confidence. 5 Jesus lives! henceforth is death But the gate of Life immortal; This shall calm my trembling breath, When I pass its gloomy portal.

Jesus Christ, my sure defence

Author: Miss Winkworth; Louisa Henrietta of Brandenburg Meter: 7.8.7 Appears in 60 hymnals Topics: Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure defense And my Saviour, ever liveth; Knowing this, my confidence Rests upon the hope it giveth, Though the night of death be fraught Still with many an anxious thought. 2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives! I too, life must waken: He will have me where He is; Shall my courage then be shaken? Shall I fear? Or could the Head Rise and leave its members dead? 3 Nay, too closely am I bound Unto Him by hope for ever; Faith's strong hand the Rock hath found, Grasped it, and will leave it never; Not the ban of death can part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4 What now sickens, mourns, and sighs, Christ with Him in glory bringeth: Earthly is the seed and dies, Heavenly from the grave it springeth. Natural is the death we die, Spiritual our life on high. 5 Saviour, draw away our heart Now from pleasures base and hollow, Let us there with Thee have part, Here on earth Thy foot-steps follow. Fix our hearts beyond the skies, Whither we ourselves would rise. Used With Tune: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT

O Jesus, du er min!

Author: Henrik Neusz; Ukjendt Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, du er min! Jeg vil og være din, Se, Hjerte, Sjæl og Livet Har jeg, min Gud, dig givet, O, tag da ganske mig! Gjør, hvad dig kan behage, Af mig i mine Dage, Til jeg dig bliver lig! 2 Min Attraa, Gud, du ser, At jeg nu aldrig mer Mit Kjød vil tro og høre, Og ei dets Vilje gjøre, Men at din Aand, dit Ord Mit Liv og Lys skal være, Og saa mig Stien lære Til de udvalgtes Kor. 3 O Jesus, drag du mig, At løbe efter dig, Ak lad din Haand oplette Og løfte min den trætte, Af Verden trykte Sjæl; Riv selv de Baand i Stykker, Som mig fra Himlen rykker Og gjør til Jordens Træl! 4 Thi her er ingen ro I denne Syndens Bø; Dens Rigdom snart bortrinder, Dens Herlighed forsvinder, Og glæder ei min Aand! Hvad Verden høiest skatter, Det kvæler mer og matter, End det fornøie kan. 5 Du, Jesus, er min Trøst, Mit Hjertes bedste Lyst; For Taarer, Angst og Møie, Gi'r du mig evig Nøie Og Herlighed for Brøst; Men hvo sig Verden vælger Og til dens Lyst sig sælger, Han sig bedrager vist. 6 Jeg vil, i Hjertens Tro Til dig, faa Sjæle-Ro, Og mig fra dig ei vende Indtil min sidste Ende. Men paa dig fæste mig. O Jesus, styrk mig Svage, At ingen mig bedrage Og skille maa fra dig! 7 Har jeg kun, Herre, dig, Kan intet rokke mig; Ei Jorden og dens Fagter, Ei Himlen jeg da agter, Maa jeg kun blive din; Om Liv og Sjæl forsmægte, Skal det mig ei anfægte, Naar Jesus kun er min.
