My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Author: Jane Borthwick; Benjamin Schmolk, d. 1737 Appears in 637 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
O may Thy will be mine!
Into Thy hand of love
I would my all resign.
Through sorrow or through joy
Conduct me as Thine own,
And help me still to say,
My Lord, Thy will be done!
2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
If needy here and poor,
Give me Thy people's bread,
Their portion rich and sure.
The manna of Thy word
Let my soul feed upon;
And if all else should fail,
My Lord, Thy will be done!
3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Though seen through many a tear,
Let not my star of hope
Grow dim or disappear:
Since Thou on earth hast wept
And sorrowed oft alone,
If I must weep with Thee,
My Lord, Thy will be done!
4 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
When death itself draws nigh,
To Thy dear wounded side
I would for refuge fly.
Leaning on Thee, to go
Where Thou before hast gone:
The rest as Thou shalt please:
My Lord, thy will be done!
5 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
All shall be well for me:
Each changing future scene
I gladly trust with Thee.
Thus to my home above
I travel calmly on,
And sing, in life or death,
My Lord, Thy will be done! Topics: The Christian Life Trust Used With Tune: O GOTT, DU FROMMER GOTT

We Love The Place, O God
Author: Sir H. W. Baker; W. Bullock Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 108 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We love the place, O God,
Wherein Thine honor dwelleth;
The joy of Thine abode
All earthly joy excelleth;
It is the house of prayer,
Wherein Thy servants meet;
And Thou, O Lord, art there
Thy chosen flock to greet.
2 We love Thine altar, Lord;
O what on earth is dearer?
For there, in faith adored,
We find Thy presence nearer;
We love the word of life,
The word that tells of peace,
Of comfort in the strife,
Of joys that never cease.
3 We love to sing below
For mercies freely given;
But most we long to know
The triumph song of heaven.
Lord Jesus, give us grace
On earth to love Thee more,
In heaven to see Thy face,
And with Thy saints adore.

O God, Thou faithful God
Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God,
Thou Fountain ever-flowing,
Without whom nothing is,
All perfect gifts bestowing;
A pure and healthy frame
O give me, and within
A conscience free from blame,
A soul unhurt by sin.
2 And grant me, Lord, to do,
With ready heart and willing,
Whate'er Thou shalt command,
My calling here fulfilling,
To do it when I ought,
With all my strength, and bless
The work I thus have wrought,
For Thou must give success.
3 And let me promise naught
But I can keep it truly,
Abstain from idle words,
And guard my lips e'er duly;
And grant, when in my place
I must and ought to speak,
My words due power and grace,
Nor let me wound the weak.
4 If dangers gather round,
Still keep me calm and fearless;
Help me to bear the cross,
When life is dark and cheerless;
To overcome my foe
With words and actions kind;
When counsel I would know,
Good counsel let me find.
5 And let me be with all
In peace and friendship living,
As far as Christians may;
And if Thou aught art giving
Of wealth and honors fair,
O this refuse me not,
That naught be mingled there
Of goods unjustly got.
6 And if a longer life
Be here on earth decreed me,
And Thou through many a strife
To ripe old age wilt lead me,
Thy patience in me shed,
Avert all sin and shame,
And crown my hoary head
With pure, untarnished fame.
7 Let nothing here on earth
Me from my Saviour sever;
And when I die, O take
My soul to Thee forever;
And let my body have
A little space to sleep
Beside my kindred's grave,
And o'er it vigil keep.
8 And when the Day is come,
And all the dead are waking,
O reach me down Thy hand,
Thyself my slumbers breaking;
Then let me hear Thy voice,
And change this earthly frame,
And bid me aye rejoice
With those who love Thy name.

Herr Jesu, Der Du Selbst
Author: Eberhard L. Fischer Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Herr Jesu, der du selbst
Von Gott als Lehrer kommen
Und, was du aus dem Schoss
Des Vaters hast genommen,
Den rechten Weg zu Gott
Mit Wort und Werk gelehrt,
Sei für dein Predigtamt
Gelobt von deiner Herd’!
2 Du bist zwar in die Höh’
Zum Vater aufgefahren,
Doch gibst du noch der Welt
Dein Wort mit grossen Scharen
Und baust durch diesen Dienst
Die Kirche, deinen Leib,
Dass er im Glauben wachs’
Und fest ans Ende bleib’.
3 Hab’ Dank für dieses Amt,
Durch das man dich selbst höret,
Das uns den Weg zu Gott
Und die Versöhnung lehret,
Durchs Evangelium
Ein Häuflein in der Welt
Berufet, sammelt, stärkt,
Lehrt, tröstet und erhält!
4 Erhalt uns diesen Dienst
Bis an das End’ der Erden,
Und weil die Ernte gross,
Gross’ Arbeit und Beschwerden,
Send selbst Arbeiter aus
Und mach sie klug und treu,
Dass Feld und Sä’mann gut,
Die Ernte reichlich sei!
5 Die du durch deinen Ruf
Der Kirche hast gegeben,
Erhalt bei reiner Lehr’
Und einem heil’gen Leben!
Leg deinen Geist ins Herz,
Das Wort in ihren Mund!
Was jeder reden soll,
Das gib du ihm zur Stund’!
6 Ach segne all dein Wort
Mit Kraft an unsern Seelen!
Lass deinen Schäflein nie
An guter Weid’ es fehlen;
Such das verirrte selbst,
Bind das verwund’te zu,
Das schlafende weck auf,
Das müde bring zur Ruh’!
7 Bewahr vor Ketzerei,
Vor Menschenlehr’ und Dünkel!
Lehr uns nach deiner Art
Im Tempel, nicht im Winkel!
Behüt vor Ärgernis,
Vor Spaltung, die uns trennt;
Erhalte rein und ganz
Dein Wort und Sakrament!
8 Bring, was noch draussen ist,
Zu deiner kleinen Herde!
Was drinnen ist, erhalt,
Dass es gestärket werde!
Dring durch mit deinem Wort,
Bis einstens Hirt und Herd’
Im Glauben, Herr, an dich
Zusammen selig werd’! Used With Tune: FROMMER Text Sources: Württemberger Landes-Gesangbuch, 1741

O Thou Essential Word
Author: Laurentius Laurenti; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou Essential Word,
Who wast from the beginning
With God, for Thou wast God;
Thou hope of all the sinning,
Sent down to save our race,
Most welcome, Lord, Thou art,
Redeemer, Fount of grace,
To this my longing heart.
2 Come, self-existent Word,
And speak Thou in my spirit!
The soul where Thou art heard
Doth endless peace inherit.
Thou Light that lightenest all,
Abide through faith in me,
Nor let me from Thee fall,
And seek no guide but Thee.
3 Ah! what hath stirred Thy heart,
What cry hath mounted thither,
And reached Thy heavenly throne,
And drawn Thee, Savior, hither?
It was Thy wondrous love,
And my most utter need,
Made Thy compassions move,
Stronger than death indeed.
4 Then let me give my heart
To Him who loved me, wholly;
And live, while here I dwell,
To show His praises solely:
Yes, Jesus, form anew
This stony heart of mine,
Make it till death still true
To Thee, forever Thine.
5 Let naught be left within
But what Thy hand hath planted;
Root out the weeds of sin,
And quell the foe who haunted
My soul, and sowed the tares;
From Thee comes nothing ill,
O save me from his snares,
Make plain my pathway still.
6 Thou art the Life, O Lord,
And Thou its Light art only!
Let not Thy blessed rays
Still leave me dark and lonely.
Star of the East, arise!
Drive all my clouds away,
Till earth’s dim twilight dies
Into the perfect day. Topics: The Catechism The Redeemer; Fourth Sunday of Advent; Fifth Sunday in Lent; Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: MUNICH (O Gott, du frommer Gott)

How Can I Thank You, Lord
Author: David Denicke, 1603-80; August Crull, 1845-1923 Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How can I thank You, Lord,
For all Your loving-kindness,
That You have patiently
Borne with me in my blindness!
When dead in many sins
And trespasses I lay,
I kindled, holy God,
Your anger ev'ry day.
2 It is Your work alone
That I am now converted;
O'er Satan's work in me
You have Your pow'r asserted.
Your mercy and Your grace
That rise afresh each morn
Have turned my stony heart
Into a heart newborn.
3 Lord, You have raised me up
To joy and exultation
And clearly shown the way
That leads me to salvation.
My sins are washed away;
For this I thank You, Lord.
Now with my heart and soul
All evil I abhor.
4 Grant that Your Spirit's help
To me be always given
Lest I should fall again
And lose the way to heaven.
Grant that He give me strength
In my infirmity;
May He renew my heart
To serve You willingly.
5 O Father, God of love,
Now hear my supplication;
O Savior, Son of God,
Accept my adoration;
O Holy Spirit, be
My ever faithful guide
That I may serve You here
And there with You abide.
