Hymns for 13th Sunday after Trinity

Opening hymn # 371 v. 1-4, “Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness”

1. Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness, My beauty are, my glorious dress;
Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed, With joy shall I lift up my head.

2. Bold shall I stand in that great Day, For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully through these absolved I am, From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.

3. The holy, meek, unspotted Lamb, Who from the Father's bosom came,
Who died for me, e'en me t'atone, Now for my Lord and God I own.

4. Lord, I believe Thy precious blood, Which at the mercy-seat of God
Forever doth for sinners plead, For me--e'en for my soul--was shed.

Sermon hymn # 377 v.1-3, 6-7, “Salvation unto us has Come”

1. Salvation unto us has come, By God's free grace and favor;
Good works cannot avert our doom, They help and save us never.
Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone, Who did for all the world atone;
He is our one Redeemer.

2. What God did in His Law demand, And none to Him could render
Caused wrath and woe on every hand, For man, the vile offender.
Our flesh has not those pure desires, The spirit of the Law requires,
And lost is our condition.

3. It was a false, misleading dream, That God His Law had given
That sinners should themselves redeem, And by their works gain heaven.
The Law is but a mirror bright, To bring the inbred sin to light
That lurks within our nature.

6. Since Christ hath full atonement made, And brought to us salvation,
Each Christian therefore may be glad, And build on this foundation.
Thy grace alone, dear Lord, I plead, Thy death is now my life inded,
For Thou hast paid my ransom.

7. Let me not doubt, but trust in Thee, Thy Word cannot be broken;
Thy call rings out, "Come unto Me!" No falsehood hast Thou spoken.
Baptized into Thy precious name, My faith cannot be put to shame,
And I shall never perish.

Hymn # 395 v. 1-4, “O God, Thou Faithful God”

1. O God, Thou faithful God, Thou Fountain ever flowing,
Who good and perfect gifts, In mercy art bestowing,
Give me a healthy frame, And may I have within
A conscience free from blame, A soul unhurt by sin!

2. Grant Thou me strength 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 might, and bless
The work I thus have wrought, For Thou must give success.

3. Oh, let me never speak, What bounds of truth exceedeth;
Grant that no idle word, From out my mouth proceedeth;
And then, when in my place, I must and ought to speak,
My words grant power and grace, Lest I offend 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;
And let me win my foe, With words and actions kind.
When counsel I would know, Good counsel let me find.

Closing Hymn: # 430 v. 1-2, “What is the World to Me”

1. What is the world to me, With all its vaunted pleasure
When Thou, and Thou alone, Lord Jesus, art my Treasure!
Thou only, dearest Lord, My soul's Delight shalt be;
Thou art my Peace, my Rest,- What is the world to me!

2. The would is like a cloud, And like a vapor fleeting,
A shadow that declines, Swift to its end retreating.
My Jesus doth abide, Though all things fade and flee;
My everlasting Rock,- What is the world to me!
