Hymns for 14th Sunday after Trinity

Opening hymn # 459 v. 1-4, “Come, My Soul, Thy Suit Prepare”

1. Come, my soul, thy suit prepare, Jesus loves to answer prayer;
He Himself has bid thee pray, Therefore will not say thee nay.

2. Thou art coming to a King, Large petitions with thee bring;
For His grace and pow'r are such, None can ever ask too much.

3. With my burden I begin: Lord, remove this load of sin;
Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt.

4. Lord, I come to Thee for rest, Take possession of my breast;
There Thy blood-bought right maintain, And without a rival reign.

Sermon hymn # 65 v. 1-4, When Sinners see their Lost Condition

1. When sinners see their lost condition, And feel the pressing load of sin
And Jesus cometh on His mission, To heal the sin-sick heart within,
All grief must flee before His grace, And joy divine will take its place.

2. When Jesus enters meek and lowly, To fill the home with sweetest peace;
When hearts have felt His blessing holy, And found from sin complete release,
Then light and calm within shall reign, And hearts divided love again.

3. When Jesus enters land and nation, And moves the people with His love;
When, yielding to His kind persuasion, Our hearts His truth and blessing prove,
Then shall our life on earth be blest, The peace of God on us shall rest.

4. When Jesus comes, --O blessed story!-- He works a change in heart and life;
God's kingdom comes with power and glory, To young and old, to man and wife;
Through Sacrament and living Word, Faith, love, and hope are now conferred.

Hymn # 387 v. 1-4, Dear Christians, one and all, Rejoice

1. Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice, With exultation springing,
And, with united heart and voice, And holy rapture singing,
Proclaim the wonders God hath done, How His right arm the victory won;
Right dearly it hath cost Him.

2. Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay, Death brooded darkly o'er me,
Sin was my torment night and day, In sin my mother bore me;
Yea, deep and deeper still I fell, Life had become a living hell,
So firmly sin possessed me.

3. My own good works availed me naught, No merit they attaining;
Free will against God's judgment fought, Dead to all good remaining.
My fears increased till sheer despair, Left naught but death to be my share;
The pangs of hell I suffered.

4. But God beheld my wretched state, Before the world's foundation,
And, mindful of His mercies great, He planned my soul's salvation.
A father's heart He turned to me, Sought my redemption fervently:
He gave His dearest Treasure.

Closing Hymn: # 50 v. 1-2, “Lord, Dismiss Us with Thy Blessing”

1. Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing, Fill our hearts with joy and peace.
Let us each, Thy love possessing, Triumph in redeeming grace.
Oh, refresh us, Oh, refresh us, Traveling through this wilderness!

2. Thanks we give and adoration, For Thy Gospel's joyful sound.
May the fruits of Thy salvation, In our hearts and lives abound;
Ever faithful, Ever faithful, To the Truth may we be found!
