Hymns for 18th Sunday after Trinity

Opening hymn # 235 v. 1-2, “O Holy Spirit, Enter In”

1. O Holy Spirit, enter in, And in our hearts Thy work begin,
Thy temple deign to make us; Sun of the soul, Thou Light Divine,
Around and in us brightly shine, To joy and gladness wake us.
That we, In Thee, Truly living, To The giving, Prayer unceasing,
May in love be still increasing.

2. Give to thy Word impressive power, That in our hearts, from this good hour,
As fire it may be glowing; That we confess the Father, Son,
And Thee, the Spirit, Three in One, Thy glory ever showing.
Stay Thou, Sway now, Our souls ever That they never, May forsake Thee,
But by faith their Refuge make Thee.

Sermon hymn # 351, “Love Divine, All Love Excelling”

1. Love Divine, all love excelling, Joy of heaven, to earth come down,
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart.

2. Breathe, oh, breathe Thy loving Spirit, Into every troubled breast;
Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find the promised rest.
Take away the love of sinning; Alpha and Omega be;
End of faith as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty.

3. Come, Almighty, to deliver; Let us all Thy life receive.
Suddenly return and never, Nevermore, Thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessings, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love.

4. Finish, then, Thy new creation; Pure and spotless let us be.
Let us see Thy great salvation, Perfectly restored in Thee,
Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Hymn # 352 v. 1-3, “O Savior, precious Savior”

1. O Savior, precious Savior, Whom, yet unseen, we love;
O Name of might and favor, All other names above.
We worship Thee, we bless Thee, To Thee, O Christ, we sing;
We praise Thee and confess Thee, Our holy Lord and King.

2. O Bringer of salvation, Who wondrously has wrought
Thyself the revelation, Of love beyond our thought,
We worship Thee, we bless Thee, To Thee, O Christ, we sing;
We praise Thee and confess Thee, Our holy Lord and King.

3. In Thee all fulness dwelleth, All grace and power divine;
The glory that excelleth, O Son of God, is Thine.
We worship Thee, we bless Thee, To Thee, O Christ, we sing;
We praise Thee and confess Thee, Our holy Lord and King.

Closing Hymn: 353 v. 1, 6-7, “Lord Jesus Christ, My Savior Blest”

1. Lord Jesus Christ, My Savior blest, My Hope and my Salvation!
I trust in Thee; Deliver me, From misery; Thy Word's my consolation.

6. I have Thy Word, Christ Jesus, Lord; Thou never wilt forsake me.
This will I plead, In time of need. Oh, help me speed, When troubles overtake me!

7. Grant, Lord, I pray, Thy grace each day, That I, Thy Law revering,
May live with Thee, And happy be Eternally, Before Thy throne appearing
