Hymns for 12th Sunday after Trinity

Opening hymn # 540 v. 1-3, “With the Lord Begin Thy Task”

1 With the Lord begin thy task; Jesus will direct it. For His aid and counsel ask; Jesus will perfect it. Ev’ry morn with Jesus rise, And when day is ended, In His name then close thine eyes; Be to Him commended.

2 Let each day begin with prayer, Praise, and adoration. On the Lord cast ev’ry care; He is thy salvation. Morning, evening, and at night Jesus will be near thee, Save thee from the tempter’s might, With His presence cheer thee.

3 With thy Savior at thy side, Foes need not alarm thee; In His promises confide, And no ill can harm thee. All thy trust and hope repose In the mighty Master, Who in wisdom truly knows How to stem disaster.

SERMON HYMN # 379, “I do not come Because my Soul”

1. I do not come because my soul, Is free from sin and pure and whole
And worthy of Thy grace; I do not speak to Thee because
I've never justly kept Thy laws, And dare to meet Thy face.

2. I know that sin and guilt combine, To reign o'er every thought of mine
And torn from good to ill; I know that, when I try to be
Upright and just and true to Thee, I am a sinner still.

3. I know that often when I strive, To keep a spark of love alive
For Thee, the powers within, Leap up in unsubmissive might
And oft benumb my sense of right, And pull me back to sin.

4. I know that, though in doing good, I spend my life, I never could
Atone for all I've done; But though my sins are black as night,
I dare to come before Thy sight, Because I trust Thy Son.

5. In Him alone my trust I place, Come boldly to Thy Throne of grace,
And there commune with Thee. Salvation sure, O Lord, is mine,
And, all unworthy, I am Thine, For Jesus died for me.

Hymn # 243, “Oh that I Had a Thousand Voices”

1. Oh, that I Had a Thousand Voices, To praise my God with thousand tongues! My heart, which in the Lord rejoices, Would then proclaim in grateful songs To all, wherever I might be, What great things God hath done for me.

2. Dear Father, endless praise I render, For soul and body, strangely joined;
I praise Thee Guardian kind and tender, For all the noble joys I find
So richly spread on every side, And freely for my use supplied.

3. I praise Thee, Savior, whose compassion, Hath brought Thee down to ransom me; Thy pitying heart sought my salvation, Though keenest woes were heaped on Thee, Brought me from bondage full release, Made me Thine own and gave me peace.

4. Glory and praise, still onward reaching, Be Thine, O Spirit of all grace,
Whose holy power and faithful teaching, Give me among Thy saints a place!
Whate'er of good by me is done, Is of Thy grace and light alone.

5. Shall I not, then, be filled with gladness? Shall I not praise Thee evermore
And triumph over fear and sadness, E'en when my cup of woe runs o'er?
Though heaven and earth shall pass away, Thy loving'-kindness stands for aye.

Closing Hymn: # 392, “Blest Is the Man, Forever Blest”

1. Blest is the man, forever blest, Whose guilt is pardoned by his God,
Whose sins with sorrow are confessed, And covered with his Savior's blood.

2. Blest is the man to whom the Lord,, Imputes not his iniquities;
He pleads no merit of reward, And not on works but grace relies.

3. From guile his heart and lips are free; His humble joy, his holy fear,
With deep repentance well agree, And join to prove his faith sincere.

4. How glorious is that righteousness, That hides and cancels all his sins,
While bright the evidence of grace, Thro' all his life appears and shines!
