My God, I leave to Thee my ways
Author: George Neumark; Miss Winkworth Hymnal: Church Book #431 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 My God, I leave to Thee my ways;
I hope in Thee whate'er betide,
To find Thee in the evil days
My all-sufficient Strength and Guide;
Who trust in God's unchanging Love
Builds on the Rock that naught can move.
2 What can our anxious cares avail,
Our never-ceasing moans and sighs?
What can it help us to bewail
Each painful moment as it flies?
Our cross and trials do but press
The heavier for our bitterness.
3 Help me my restless heart to still,
And wait in cheerful hope, content
To take whate'er Thy gracious Will,
Thy all-discerning Love, hath sent;
Nor doubt my inmost wants are known
To Him who chose me for His own.
4 Thou know'st when joyful hours are best,
And send'st them as Thou seest it meet:
When I have borne the fiery test,
And am made free from all deceit,
Thou comest to me all unaware,
And makest me own Thy loving care.
5 Help me to swerve not from Thy ways,
But do my own part faithfully,
And trust Thy promises of grace,
That they may be fulfilled in me.
Thou never wilt forsake at need
The soul that trusts in Thee indeed. Languages: English Tune Title: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT LÄSZT WALTEN
My God, I leave to Thee my ways
Away, my needless fears
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: Church Book #432 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Away, my needless fears
And doubts no longer mine!
A ray of heavenly light appears,
A messenger divine.
2 Thrice comfortable hope,
That calms my stormy breast;
My Father's hand prepares the cup,
And what He wills is best.
3 He knows whate'er I want;
He sees my helplessness,
And always readier is to grant
Than I to ask His grace.
4 My fearful heart He reads,
Secures my soul from harms,
And underneath His mercy spreads
Its everlasting arms.
5 Here is firm footing; here,
My soul, is solid rock,
To break the waves of grief and fear,
And trouble's rudest shock:
6 This only can sustain
When earth and heaven remove:
O turn thee to thy Rest again,
Thy God's eternal Love! Languages: English Tune Title: MORAVIA
Away, my needless fears
O God, Thou faithful God
Author: J. Heermann Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #457 (1913) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Topics: The Church Year Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God,
Thou fountain ever flowing,
Without whom nothing is,
All perfect gifts bestowing;
A pure and healthy frame
O give me, and within
A conscience free from blame,
A soul unhurt by sin.
2 And grant me, Lord, 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 strength, and bless
The work I thus have wrought,
For Thou must give success.
3 And let me promise naught
But I can keep it truly,
Abstain from idle words,
And guard my lips still duly;
And grant, when in my place
I must and ought to speak,
My words due power and grace;
Nor let me wound 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;
To overcome my foe
With words and actions kind:
When counsel I would know,
Good counsel let me find.
5 And let me be with all
In peace and friendship living,
As far as Christians may;
And if Thou aught art giving
Of wealth and honors fair,
That naught be mingled there
Of goods unjustly got.
6 And if a longer life
Be here on earth decreed me,
And Thou through many a strife
To age at last wilt lead me,
Thy patience on me shed.
Avert all sin and shame,
And crown my hoary head
With pure untarnished fame.
7 Let nothing that may chance,
Me from my Savior sever;
And, dying with Him, take
My soul to Thee for ever;
And let my body have
A little space to sleep
Beside my fathers' grave,
And friends that o'er it weep.
8 And when the end is come
And all the dead are waking,
O reach me down Thy hand,
Thyself my slumbers breaking;
Then let me hear Thy voice,
And change this earthly frame,
And bid me aye rejoice
With those who love Thy name. Tune Title: [O God, Thou faithful God]
O God, Thou faithful God
Children of the heavenly King
Author: J. Cennick Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #458 (1913) Topics: The Church Year Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Children of the heavenly King,
As ye journey, sweetly sing;
Sing your Savior's worthy praise,
Glorious in His works and ways.
2 We are traveling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod:
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see.
3 Lift your eyes, ye sons of light,
Zion's city is in sight:
There our endless home shall be,
There our Lord we soon shall see.
4 Fear not, brethren; joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, your Father's Son,
Bids you undismayed go on.
5 Lord, obediently we go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only thou our leader be,
And we will still follow Thee. Tune Title: [Children of the heavenly King]

O Love divine, how sweet Thou art!
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #459 (1913) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Topics: The Church Year Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O Love divine, how sweet Thou art!
When shall I find my willing heart
All taken up by Thee!
I thirst, I faint, I die to prove
The greatness of redeeming love,
The love of Christ to me.
2 Stronger His love than death or hell;
Its reaches are unsearchable;
The first-born sons of light
Desire in vain its depths to see,
They cannot reach the mystery,
The length, and breadth, and height.
3 God only knows the love of God:
O that it now were shed abroad
In this poor stony heart!
For love I sigh, for love I pine;
This only portion, Lord, be mine,
Be mine this better part.
4 O that I could for ever sit
With Mary at the Master’s feet!
Be this my happy choice:
My only care, delight, and bliss,
My joy, my heaven on earth, be this,
To hear the Bridegroom’s voice! Tune Title: [O Love divine, how sweet Thou art!]
O Love divine, how sweet Thou art!
In holy contemplation
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #460 (1913) Topics: The Church Year Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 In holy contemplation
We sweetly now pursue
The theme of God's salvation,
And find it ever new.
Set free from present sorrow,
We cheerfully can say,
Let the unknown tomorrow
Bring with it what it may.
2 It can bring with it nothing,
But He will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing
Will clothe His people too.
Beneath the spreading heavens
No creature but is fed;
And He who feeds the ravens
Will give His children bread.
3 Though vine nor fig tree neither
Their wonted fruit should bear;
Though all the field should wither,
Nor flocks nor herds be there:
Yet God the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice;
For while in Him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice.

Jesus, I long for Thy blessed communion
Author: P. J. Hygom; Anon. Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #461 (1913) Topics: The Church Year Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I long for Thy blessed communion,
Yearning for Thee fills my heart and my mind;
Draw me from all that would hinder our union,
May I to Thee, my beginning, be joined;
Show me more clearly my hopeless condition;
Show me the depth of corruption in me,
So that my nature may die in contrition,
And that my spirit may live unto Thee!
2 Mightily strengthen my spirit within me,
That I may learn what Thy Spirit can do;
O take Thou captive each passion and win me,
Lead Thou and guide me my whole journey through!
All that I am and possess I surrender,
If Thou alone in my spirit mayst dwell,
Everything yield Thee, O Savior most tender,
Thou, only Thou, canst my sadness dispel.
3 O that I only might learn consecration,
Make full surrender of heart day by day!
O that my Jesus might be my sole portion,
I am, alas! all too far, far away.
Jesus, whose voice full of love's gentle warning,
Gladly I follow, O give me Thy hand,
That in pure holiness, faith's bright adorning,
Like a true Christian I walk to the end.
4 Jesus, O hear Thou Thy dove's gentle cooing!
Shepherd, go seek the lost, wandering lamb!
Thou, who hast won me by love's tender wooing,
Cleanse Thou my heart from its sin and its shame.
May I not be like a sepulchre whited,
Fair and all beautiful outside alone:
But may Thy law in my heart be indited,
That in full truth I may call me thine own.
5 Jesus, when shall I find rest in the haven?
Heavy the burden, remove it from me!
When shall I see Thee, my Savior, in heaven?
Rise, Lord, and quiet the wild troubled sea!
O loving Jesus, show mercy right speedy;
Hide not Thy countenance always from me;
Thou, purest wealth of the inwardly needy;
Fill Thou my heart, precious Savior, with Thee.
6 Jesus, my love let not go unrequited:
See my poor soul growing weary, O Lord.
Let us, Immanuel, now be united,
When Thou art with me, my soul is restored.
Once Thou didst say, "They will hunger and perish,
If I permit them to go on their way;"
Love everlasting! Refuse not to nourish
Souls that are hungering for fragments today.
7 Merciful Jesus, now hear how I bind Thee
To the sure pledge of Thy covenant word:
"Ask, and receive: when ye seek, ye shall find me;"
Thus have Thy lips, ever faithful, averred.
I with the woman of Canaan unresting,
Cry after Thee till my longing is stilled,
Till Thou shalt add, my petitions attesting,
"Amen, yea, amen: it be as thou wilt!"

Lord, it belongs not to my care
Author: Richard Baxter Hymnal: Church Book #492 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve Thee is my share,
And this Thy grace must give.
If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey;
If short, yet why should I be sad
To soar to endless day?
2 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than He went through before:
He that into God's kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.
Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blessed face to see;
For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be?
3 Then I shall end my sad complaints,
And weary sinful days,
And join with the triumphant saints,
That sing Jehovah's praise.
My knowledge of that Life is small,
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with Him. Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 137TH PSALM
Lord, it belongs not to my care
God of unbounded Power
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: Church Book #499 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 God of unbounded Power,
God of unwearied Love,
Be present in our dangerous hour
Our danger to remove:
Jesus, Jehovah, Lord,
Thy wonted aid we claim;
Not trusting in our bow or sword,
But in Thy saving Name!
2 Our lives are hid with Thine,
Our hairs are numbered all,
Nor can without the Will divine
One worthless sparrow fall.
And shall a nation bleed,
And shall a kingdom fail,
While Thou, O Christ, art Lord and Head
O'er heaven and earth and hell?
3 Beneath Thy wings secure,
In patience we possess
Our souls, and quietly endure
Whate'er our God decrees.
Teach us to understand
The thunder of Thy power,
And thus, O Lord, to Thy Hand,
Thy Truth and Love adore.
4 Escaped the hostile sword,
O may we fly to Thee,
And find in our redeeming Lord
Our life and liberty.
Our Strength and Righteousness,
O let us hold Thee fast,
With confidence divine, and peace
That shall for ever last. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AUGUSTINE

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Jane Borthwick Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #509 (1908) Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
O may Thy will be mine;
Into Thy hand of love
I would my all resign.
Through sorrow, or through joy,
Conduct me as Thine own;
And help me still to say,
My Lord, Thy will be done!
2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
If needy here and poor,
Give me Thy people’s bread,
Their portion rich and sure
The manna of Thy Word
Let my soul feed upon;
And if all else should fail
My Lord, Thy will be done!
3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Though seen through many a tear,
Let not my star of hope
Grow dim or disappear;
Since Thou on earth hast wept,
And sorrowed oft alone,
If I must weep with Thee,
My Lord, Thy will be done!
4 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
When death itself draws nigh,
To Thy dear wounded side
I would for refuge fly.
Leaning on Thee, to go
Where Thou before hast gone.
The rest as Thou shalt please;
My Lord, Thy will be done!
5 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
All shall be well for me;
Each changing future scene
I gladly trust with Thee.
Thus to my home above
I travel calmly on,
And sing, in life or death,
My Lord, Thy will be done! Languages: English Tune Title: JEWETT
My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
