To us salvation now has come
Author: Paul Speratus, D. D.; Dr. Henry Mills Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #249 (1908) Topics: Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 To us salvation now has come,
God's wondrous grace revealing;
Works never can avert our doom,
They have no power of healing.
Faith looks to God's beloved Son,
Who has for us deliv'rance won,
He is our great Redeemer!
2 What God's most holy precept claims
No child of Adam renders;
But from the throne dread vengeance flames,
And speaks the curse in thunders.
The flesh ne'er prompts those pure desires
That 'bove all else the Law requires:
Relief by Law is hopeless!
3 But all the Law must be fulfilled,
Or we must sink despairing;
Then came the Son—-so God had willed,--
Our human nature sharing,
Who for us all the Law obeyed,
And thus His Father's vengeance stayed,
Which over us impended.
4 Now to the God of matchless grace,
To Father, Son, and Spirit,
We lift our highest songs of praise,
All praise His favors merit.
All He has said He will perform,
And save us by His mighty arm, --
His worthy name be hallowed! Languages: English; Latin Tune Title: LUTHER'S HYMN
To us salvation now has come
My God, I love Thee; not because
Author: Francis Xavier, d. 1552; Edward Caswall Hymnal: Church Book #410 (1890) Topics: Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee; not because
I hope for heaven thereby;
Nor because they, who love Thee not,
Must burn eternally.
2 Thou, O my Jesus! Thou didst me
Upon the Cross embrace;
For me didst bear the nails and spear,
And manifold disgrace;
3 And griefs and torments numberless,
And sweat of agony;
E'en death itself--and all for one
Who was Thine enemy.
4 Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ!
Should I not love Thee well?
Not for the sake of winning heaven,
Nor of escaping hell;
5 Not with the hope of gaining aught;
Not seeking a reward;
But, as Thyself hast lovéd me,
O ever loving Lord!
6 E'en so I love Thee, and will love,
And in Thy praise will sing;
Solely because Thou art my God,
And my eternal King. Languages: English Tune Title: CHESHIRE
My God, I love Thee; not because
Thou hidden love of God, whose height
Author: G. Tersteegen Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #476 (1913) Topics: The Church Year Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden love of God, whose height,
Whose depth unfathomed no man knows,
I see from far Thy beauteous light,
Inly I sigh for Thy repose:
My heart is pained, nor can it be
At rest, till it find rest in Thee.
2 Is there a thing beneath the sun
That strives with Thee my heart to share?
Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,
The Lord of every motion there.
Then shall my heart from earth be free,
When it has found repose in Thee.
3 O hide this self from me, that I
No more, but Christ in me, may live!
My base affections crucify,
Nor let one favorite sin survive;
In all things nothing may I see,
Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee.
4 Each moment draw from earth away
My heart that lowly waits Thy call!
Speak to my inmost soul, and say
I am thy love, thy God, thy all!
To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice,
To taste Thy love, be all my choice! Tune Title: [Thou hidden love of God, whose height]
Thou hidden love of God, whose height
How shall we show our love to Thee
Author: Isaac Williams Hymnal: Church Book #478 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 How shall we show our love to Thee,
Thou living God most high,
But loving this Thy family,
For which Thou deignedst to die?
2 If Thou for me such Love didst bear,
Shall I not love again?
For all are objects of Thy care;
Thy Love doth all sustain.
3 If we have love for Thee in heaven,
'Tis seen by love on earth:
Love only, love which God hath given,
Doth prove our heavenly birth.
4 For all we know of God above,
And of His saints below,
And all we know of heaven, is Love,
And all we need to know.
5 Love is of life the only sign,
Love is our vital breath;
Love only shows the child divine,
Love only conquers death.
6 Whate'er we do, where'er we go,
Let love our sonship prove:
Our lives the first celestial show,
Our thoughts and words be love.
7 O deign to send the love of Thee
From highest heaven above;
For then our life Thy praise shall be,
When all our life is love.
8 With praise to Thee our strains began,
With love of Thee shall end;
The love of Thee, and love of man,
From heaven O deign to send!

How shall we show our love to Thee
In vain would boasting reason find
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Church Book #97 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 In vain would boating reason find
The path to happiness and God;
Her weak directions leave the mind
Bewildered in a doubtful road.
2 Jesus, Thy words alone impart
Eternal life; on these I live;
Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart,
Than all the powers of nature give.
3 Here let my constant feet abide;
Thou art the true, the living Way:
Let Thy good Spirit be my Guide
To the bright realms of endless day.
4 The various forms that men devise
To shake my faith with treacherous art,
I scorn as vanity and lies,
And bind Thy Gospel to my heart. Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE
In vain would boasting reason find
In vain we seek for peace with God
Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #98 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 In vain we seek for peace with God
By methods of our own:
Jesus, there's nothing but Thy blood
Can bring us near the throne.
2 'Tis Thy atoning Sacrifice
Hath answered all demands;
And peace and pardon from the skies
Are blessings from Thy hands.
3 'Tis by Thy Death we live, O Lord;
'Tis on Thy Cross we rest:
For ever by Thy Love adored,
Thy Name for ever blest. Languages: English Tune Title: LONDON NEW
In vain we seek for peace with God
Lord, we confess our numerous faults
Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #99 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Lord, we confess our numerous faults,
How great our guilt has been:
Foolish and vain were all our thoughts,
And all our lives were sin.
2 But, O my soul, for ever praise,
For ever love His Name,
Who turns thy feet from dangerous ways
Of folly, sin, and shame.
3 'Tis not by works of righteousness
Which our own hands have done;
But we are saved by sovereign grace
Abounding through His Son.
4 'Tis from the mercy of our God
That all our hopes begin;
'Tis by the Water and the Blood
Our souls are saved from sin.
5 'Tis through the purchase of His Death
Who hung upon the Tree,
The Spirit is sent down to breathe
On such dry bones as we.
6 Raised from the dead we live anew;
And justified by grace,
We shall appear in glory too,
And see our Father's face. Languages: English Tune Title: TRESDALE
Lord, we confess our numerous faults
The law of God is good and wise
Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #182 (1908) Topics: Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise
And sets His will before our eyes,
Shows us the way of righteousness,
And dooms to death when we transgress.
2 Its light of holiness imparts
The knowledge of our sinful hearts
That we may see our lost estate
And seek deliv'rance ere too late.
3 To those who help in Christ have found
And would in works of love abound,
It shows what deeds are His delight
And should be done as good and right.
4 When men the offered help disdain
And dead in sin and woe remain;
Its terror in their ear resounds
And keeps their wickedness in bounds.
5 The law is good; but since the fall
Its holiness condemns us all:
It dooms us for our sin to die,
And has no power to justify.
6 To Jesus we for refuge flee,
Who from the curse has set us free,
And humbly worship at His throne,
Saved by His grace through faith alone. Languages: English Tune Title: RETREAT

Lord! Thou Source of All Perfection
Author: Balthazar Muenter Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #190 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Topics: Church Year Trinity Season; Sixth Sunday after Easter; Trinty, Second Sunday; Trinity, Eighteenth Sunday; Atonement; Prayer for Love Lyrics: 1 Lord! Thou source of all perfection,
Fountain of eternal love,
Fill the famished soul that thirsteth
For the waters from above.
From all evil passions purge me,
In the path of justice urge me,
Teach my heart to love but Thee,
Thou whoever lovest me.
2 Lord, in Thee I have my being,
All I am to Thee I owe,
Ev'ry heav'nward aspiration,
Ev'ry thought from Thee doth flow;
Of Thy goodness and Thy power
Blessings daily on us shower;
Fount of heav'nly Love Thou art,
Spring Thou up within my heart.
3 Blessed stream of our atonement
From the cross of Christ that flowed,
Fellowship with Him in glory,
Hope of all eternal good,
On my path His light and leading,
And His grace, all grace exceeding,--
All the blessings from above
Prompt me to return Thy love.
4 Grant, O God, the power to love Thee
Here in truth and holiness,
Till my love be full and perfect
In the realms of heavenly bliss,
When, translated into glory,
With Thy countenance shining o'er me,
I shall drink with saints above
From the well-spring of Thy love.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 22:34-46 Languages: English Tune Title: TVIFLAN UR MIN SJÄL FÖRSVINNE

Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n
Author: Petrus Herbert; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #210 (1908) Topics: Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n,
That grasps the promise God hath giv'n,
A confidence in Christ alone,
Whose grace cannot be overthrown.
2 Faith in the conscience worketh peace,
And bids the mourner’s weeping cease;
By faith the children’s place we claim
And give all honor to One Name.
3 Faith feels the Spirit’s kindling breath
In love and hope that conquer death;
Faith worketh joyfulness in God
And trusts and blesses e’en the rod.
4 We thank Thee, then, O God of heaven,
That Thou to us this faith hast given;
Preserve to us Thy Spirit's grace
Till we shall see Thee face to face. Languages: English Tune Title: UXBRIDGE
