Jesu! where'er Thy people meet

Author: W. Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 523 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesu! where'er Thy people meet, There they behold Thy mercy-seat; Where'er they seek Thee, Thou art found, And ev'ry place is hallowed ground. 2 And since within no walls confined, Thou dwellest in the humble mind: Let all within Thy house who come, Departing, take Thee to their home. 3 Yet everywhere Thou guid'st Thine own To raise for Thee an earthly throne; And where Thy Name Thou dost record, There Thou wilt come and bless them, Lord! [4* Behold at Thy commanding word, We stretch the curtain and the cord; Come Thou and fill this wider space, And bless us with a large increase.] 5 Great Shepherd of Thy chosen few, Thy former mercies here renew; And here to wayward hearts proclaim The sweetness of Thy saving Name! 6 Here may we prove the might of prayer, To strengthen faith and sweeten care: To teach our faint desires to rise, And bring all heaven before our eyes! 7 Here to the babe new-born on earth, Grant Thou the newer, better birth; By water and the Holy Ghost Restoring all that Adam lost. 8 Here to the weary, hungry, soul, Give Thou the gift that maketh whole; The bread that is Christ's flesh, for food, The wine that is the Saviour's blood. 9 Lord, we are few, but Thou art near; Nor short Thine arm, nor deaf Thine ear; Oh, rend the heavens, come quickly down, And make a thousand hearts Thine own! Amen. * For enlargement of the Church Topics: Consecration of Churches; Corner-stone and Consecration Used With Tune: GÖLDEL

O Lord of Hosts! Amighty King!

Author: O. W. Holmes Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord of Hosts! Almighty King! Behold the sacrifice we bring: To every arm Thy strength impart; Thy Spirit shed through every heart. 2 Wake in our breasts the living fires, The holy faith that warmed our sires; Thy hand hath made our nation free; To die for her is serving Thee. 3 Be Thou a pillared flame to show The midnight snare, the silent foe; And when the battle thunders loud, Still guide us in its moving cloud. 4 God of all nations! Sovereign Lord! In Thy dread Name we draw the sword, We lift the starry flag on high That fills with light our stormy sky. 5 From treason's rent, from murder's stain, Guard Thou its folds till peace shall reign, Till fort and field, till shore and sea, Join our loud anthem, praise to Thee1 Amen.

Alas, my God! My Sins are Great

Author: Martin Rutelius, 1550-1618 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alas, my God! my sins are great, My conscience doth upbraid me; And now I find that in my strait No man hath power to aid me. 2 And fled I hence in my despair, In some lone spot to hide me, My griefs would still be with me there, And peace still be denied me. 3 Lord, Thee I seek; I merit naught, Yet pity and restore me; Be not Thy wrath, just God, my lot, Thy Son hath suffered for me. 4 If pain and woe must follow sin, Then be my path still rougher, Here spare me not; if heaven I win, On earth I gladly suffer. 5 But curb my heart, forgive my guilt, Make Thou my patience firmer, For they must miss the good Thou wilt, Who at Thy chastenings murmur. 6 Then deal with me as pleaseth Thee, Thy grace will help me bear it, If but at last I see Thy rest, And with my Saviour share it. 7 The Father, Son, upon one throne, And Holy Ghost together, Receive my prayer, and let me share Thy grace and truth forever.

Groß; Martin Rutilius Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ak Herre from, Hvor stor en Sum Er alle mine Synder; Ei nogen Mand Mig hjælpe kan, Jeg i al Verden finder. 2 Jeg siger frit, Løb jeg end vidt Hen indtil Verdens Ende, At løses af Den Syndens Straf, Jeg kund' den ei afvende. 3 Jeg beder dig, Forskyd ei mig, Som mine Synder skyldte, Træt ei med mig, Gud, vredelig! Din Søn for mig opfyldte. 4 Er det da saa, Straf følger paa For mine Synders Velde, Saa straf du her, Og skaane der, Lad mig kun her undgjælde! 5 Godt Taal mig und, Forlad min Synd, Giv lydig Aand, Gud milde! Lad mig ei her, Som ofte sker, Med Utaal Naaden spilde! 6 Gjør du med mig, Som synes dig, I Naaden lad mig blive Lad dog ei mig Evindelig Fra dig med Skamme vige! 7 Som sig en Fugl Ind udi Skjul I hule Trær forstikker, Naar Stormen gaar, Og Toden slaar, Og Folk og Kvæg forstrækker. 8 Saa, Herre Krist, Min Tilflugt vist Er dine Saar og Vunder, Dem jeg i Nød Og Dom og Død Med Hast mig skjuler under. 9 Der er mig vel. Naar da min Sjæl Fra Legemet henfarer, Jeg bliver vist Hos dig, o Krist, Du evig mig bevarer. 10 O Jesu sød! Paa Korset død Er du for Synder mine, Du Djævlens Magt Har underlagt, Frelst mig fra Helveds Pine. 11 Thi priset vær' Gud Fader kjær', Hans Søn og Aand tilsammen! Hvo tviler paa, Guds Ord skal staa: Den tror, blir salig. Amen.
