Profitable Hymns: First Line Index

I've decided the working title for my fourth book of hymns – at this writing, just starting to get underway – will be "Profitable Hymns for Meditation in the Lutheran Church, School and Home." I plan to add to this directory as the book grows, since experience with my past couple of volumes has taught me this is a (cough) profitable approach to keeping track of my progress and editing the material later. Eventually, it'll just sit here as, I hope, a helpful reference. It'll also be linked to the main Book Trolley page, where similar indices for the preceding books are already in place. And so, in ABC order:
Be it said in the waning of the days ... Winter Psalm

Christ, who passed through a desert place ... Temptation

For all things green and tender ... Spring Psalm
For heat that warms our aching bones ... Summer Psalm

Gray was the disordered deep ... Color Psalm

I am a beggar; this is true ... Luther's last words
I was not there when Jesus died ... Time & eternity

Lo, the dewy stem grows dry ... Word of the Lord stands
Lo, what love the Father shows us ... Trinitarian love

O holy Mind, that did not think ... Having the mind of Christ
O human Soul of God the Son ... Passion Prayer
Oh, bitter bonds and labor ... Flavor Lament

Would you see the Love of God? ... Look to Jesus
