5 O God Triune, baptiz'd in Thy dear name, Christopher Wordsworth. "Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin.” ROUGHT to the font with holy care, BR We join the flock of Christ, and bear 2 Blest privilege! but all in vain. And cleave to things of earth. 3 Lord, since Thy holy name we bear, Mark Thy commands with filial fear, 4 So, Lord, the inward grace impart, Edward Osler. "Let this grace reign in us, as the power of a new heavenly life. 307 G L. M. OD of all power, and truth, and grace, Which shall from age to age endure; Whose word, when heaven and earth shall pass, 2 That I Thy mercy may proclaim, That all mankind Thy truth may see; 3 Purge me from every sinful blot, 4 Give me a new, a perfect heart, From doubt, and fear, and sorrow free; "Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the 308 N kingdom of heaven." L. M. O more, my God! I boast no more, I quit the hopes I held before, To trust the merits of Thy Son. 2 Now for the love I bear His name, 3 Yes, and I must, and will, esteem All things but loss for Jesus' sake; 4 The best obedience of my hands Dares not appear before Thy throne; By pleading what my Lord has done. Isaac Watts, 1709. “And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of Hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels." 309 75. HINE for ever! God of love, TH Hear us from Thy throne above; Here and in eternity. 2 Thine for ever! Lord of life, Shield us through our earthly strife: 3 Thine for ever! O how blest 4 Thine for ever! Saviour, keep 5 Thine for ever! Thou our Guide, Led by Thee from earth to heaven. Mary Fawler Maude, 1848. SEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY. "But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness." 310 O C. M. THOU, the Lord and Life of those 2 Thine agony and death display The curse our guilt should bear, 3 To Thee, O Lord, we lift our heart, Help us to choose the better part, 4 Help us the Saviour to confess, And oh! may fruits of holiness Prove that we live to Thee. W. J. Hall's Collection. "But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord." O God the only wise, Our Saviour and our King, 2 'Tis His Almighty love, His counsel and His care, Preserves us safe from sin and death, 3 He will present our souls, Unblemished and complete, 4 Then all the chosen seed Shall meet before the throne, 5 To our Redeemer God Wisdom and power belongs, And never-ending songs. Isaac Watts, 1709.. "Cause the comfort of Thy heavenly grace to abound in us, as the earnest and pledge of joys to come. 312 313 C. M. ATHER! whate'er of earthly bliss Accepted at Thy throne of grace, 2 Give me a calm, a thankful heart, The blessings of Thy grace impart, 3 Let the sweet hope, that Thou art mine, Thy presence through my journey shine, Anne Steele, 1760. "He that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me." We turn unfilled to Thee again. Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood; 3 We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread, 4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee, Where'er our changeful lot is cast; 5 O Jesus, ever with us stay! Make all our moments calm and bright: Shed o'er the world Thy holy light. Bernard of Clairvaux, 1153. "This is that bread which came down from heaven.” 314 75 & 6s, 8 lines. BREAD, to pilgrims given, O Food, that angels eat, O Manna, sent from heaven, 2 O Water, life-bestowing, From out the Saviour's heart! Our burning thirst assuage! 3 Jesus! this feast receiving, Thy glorious face to see. Latin Hymn. Trans. Ray Palmer 1858. |
