By Grace I Am an Heir of Heaven

Author: Christian L. Scheidt; H. Brueckner Hymnal: TH1990 #695 (1990) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 By grace I am an heir of heaven: why doubt this, O my trembling heart? If what the Scriptures promise clearly is true and firm in ev'ry part, this also must be truth divine: by grace a crown of life is mine. 2 By grace alone shall I inherit that blissful home beyond the skies. Works count for naught, the Lord incarnate hath won for me the heav'nly prize. Salvation by his death he wrought, his grace alone my pardon bought. 3 By grace! These precious words remember when sorely by thy sins oppressed, when Satan comes to vex thy spirit, when troubled conscience sighs for rest; what reason cannot comprehend, God doth to thee by grace extend. 4 By grace! Be this in death my comfort; despite my fears, 'tis well with me. I know my sin in all its greatness, but also him who sets me free. My heart to naught but joy gives place since I am saved by grace, by grace.

Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: TH1990 #206 (1990) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining; low lies his head with the beasts of the stall; angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Lord over all. 3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion, odors of Edom, and off'rings divine, gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, myrrh from the forest or gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, vainly with gifts would his favor secure; richer by far is the heart's adoration; dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Douglas Clephane Hymnal: TH1990 #251 (1990) Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand, the shadow of a mighty Rock within a weary land; a home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way, from the burning of the noon-tide heat and the burden of the day. 2 Upon the cross of Jesus mine eye at times can see the very dying form of One who suffered there for me: and from my stricken heart with tears two wonders I confess, the wonders of redeeming love and my unworthiness. 3 I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place: I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of his face; content to let the world go by, to know no gain nor loss; my sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross.

Built on the Rock the Church Doth Stand

Author: Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig; Carl Döving; Fred C.M. Hansen Hymnal: TH1990 #351 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Built on the rock the church doth stand, even when steeples are falling; crumbled have spires in every land, bells still are chiming and calling; calling the young and old to rest, calling the souls of men distressed, longing for life everlasting. 2 Surely in temples made with hands God, the Most High is not dwelling; high in the heav'ns his temple stands, all earthly temples excelling. Yet he who dwells in heav'n above deigns to abide with us in love, making our bodies his temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, built for his own habitation; he fills our hearts, his humble thrones, granting us life and salvation. Were two or three to seek his face, he in their midst would show his grace, blessings upon them bestowing. 4 Yet in this house, an earthly frame, Jesus his children is blessing; higher we come to praise his name, faith in our Savior confessing. Jesus to us his Spirit sent, making with us his covenant, granting his children the kingdom. 5 Now we may gather with our King e'en in the lowliest dwelling; praises to him we there may bring, his wondrous mercy forth-telling. Jesus his grace to us accords, spirit and life are all his words; his truth doth hallow the temple.

Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: TH1990 #359 (1990) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love: the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above. 2 Before the Father's throne we pour our ardent prayers; our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, our mutual burdens bear, and often for each other flows the sympathizing tear. 4 When we asunder part, it gives us inward pain; but we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revives our courage by the way, while each in expectation lives, and longs to see the day. 6 From sorrow, toil and pain, and sin, we shall be free; and perfect love and friendship reign through all eternity.

Brethren, We Have Met to Worship

Author: George Atkins, 19th cent Hymnal: TH1990 #381 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Brethren, we have met to worship and adore the Lord our God; will you pray with all your power, while we try to preach the Word? All is vain, unless the Spirit of the Holy One comes down; brethren, pray, and holy manna will be showered all around. 2 Brethren, see poor sinners round you slumb'ring on the brink of woe; death is coming, hell is moving– can you bear to let them go? See our fathers and our mothers and our children sinking down; brethren, pray, and holy manna will be showered all around. 3 Sisters, will you join and help us? Moses' sister aided him; will you help the trembling mourners who are struggling hard with sin? Tell them all about the Savior– tell them that he will be found; sisters, pray, and holy manna will be showered all around. 4 Let us love our God supremely, let us love each other too; let us love and pray for sinners till our God makes all things new. Then he'll call us home to heaven, at his table we'll sit down; Christ will gird himself and serve us with sweet manna all around.
