Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #63 (1918) Meter: 14.14.4.7.8 Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation! O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy Health and Salvation! Join the full throng; Wake, harp and psalter and song; Sound forth in glad adoration! 2 Praise to the Lord, who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth, Who, as on wings of an eagle, uplifteth, sustaineth; Hast thou not seen How thy desires all have been Granted in what He ordaineth? 3 Praise to the Lord, who hath fearfully, wondrously made thee; Health hath vouchsafed, and when heedlessly falling hath stayed thee; What need or grief Ever hath failed of relief?-- Wings of His mercy did shade thee. 4 Praise to the Lord, who doth visibly bless and defend thee; Who from the heavens, the streams of His mercy doth send thee; Ponder anew What the Almighty can do, If with His love He befriend thee! 5 Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him! All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him! He is thy Light; Soul, keep it always in sight, Gladly forever adore Him!

We Christians may

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #156 (1918) Meter: 4.4.11.4.4.11 Lyrics: 1 We Christians may Rejoice today, When Christ was born to comfort and to save us; Who thus believes No longer grieves, For none are lost who grasp the hope He gave us. 2 O wondrous joy, That God most high Should take our flesh, and thus our race should honor; A virgin mild Hath born this Child Such grace and glory God hath put upon her. 3 Sin brought us grief; But Christ, relief, When down to earth He came for our salvation; Since God with us Is dwelling thus, Who dares to speak the Christian's condemnation? 4 Then hither throng With happy song To Him whose birth and death are our assurance; Through whom are we at last set free From sins and burdens that surpassed endurance. 5 Yes, let us praise Our God, and raise Loud hallelujahs to the skies above us; The bliss, bestowed Today by God, To ceaseless thankfulness and joy should move us.

O darkest woe!

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #215 (1918) Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O darkest woe! Ye tears, forth flow! Has earth so sad a wonder? God the Father's only Son Now is buried yonder! 2 O sorrow dread! Our God is dead. But by His expiation Of our guilt upon the cross Gained for us salvation. 3 O child of man! It was the ban Of death on thee that brought Him Down to suffer for thy sins, And such woe hath wrought Him. 4 See, stained with blood, The Lamb of God, The Bridegroom, lies before thee, Pouring out His life that He May to life restore thee. 5 O Ground of faith, Laid low in death! Sweet lips now silent sleeping! Surely all that live must mourn Here with bitter weeping. 6 O Virgin-born, Thy death we mourn, Thou lovely Star of gladness! Who could see Thy reeking blood Without grief and sadness? 7 Yea, blest is he Whose heart shall be Fixed here, who apprehendeth Why the Lord of glory thus To the grave descendeth. 8 O Jesus blest, My Help and Rest, With tears I now entreat Thee: Make me love Thee to the last, Till in heaven I greet Thee!

So rest, my Rest!

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #216 (1918) Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 So rest, my Rest! Thou ever Blest! Thy grave with sinners making; By Thy precious death from sin My dead soul awaking. 2 After Thy strife, Life of my life, Thou'rt in the tomb reposing, Round Thee now a rock-hewn grave, Rock of Ages, closing. 3 How cold art Thou, My Savior, now! Thy fervent love hath driven Thee into the cold, dark grave, Thst I might gain heaven. 4 Breath of all breath! I know from death Thou wilt my dust awaken; Wherefore should I dread the grave, Or my faith be shaken? 5 To me the tomb Shall be a room Where I lie down on roses; Who by faith hath conquered death, Sweetly there reposes. 6 The body dies-- Naught else--and lies In dust, until victorious From the grace it shall arise Beautiful and glorious. 7 Meantime I will, My Savior, still Deep in my bosom lay Thee, Ever musing on Thy death: Leave me not, I pray Thee!

God liveth still!

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #513 (1918) Meter: 4.7.8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 God liveth still! Soul, despair not, fear no ill! God is good; from His compassion Earthly help and comfort flow; Strong is His right hand to fashion All things well for man below: Trial, oft the most distressing, In the end has proved a blessing. Wherefore, then, my soul, despair? God still lives, who heareth prayer. 2 God liveth still! Soul, despair not, fear no ill! He who gave the eye its vision, Shall He slumber once or sleep? He who gave the ear its mission, Hears He not His children weep? God is God; His ear attendeth When the sigh our bosom rendeth. Wherefore, then, my soul, despair? God still lives, who heareth prayer. 3 God liveth still! Soul, despair not, fear no ill! He who gives the clouds their measure, Stretching out the heavens alone; He who stores the earth with treasure, Is not far from every one. God in the hour of need defendeth Him whose heart in love ascendeth. Wherefore, then, my soul, despair? God still lives, who heareth prayer. 4 God liveth still! Soul, despair not, fear no ill! Is thy cross too great and pond'rous, Cast on Him thy grievous load; God is great, His love is wondrous, He will speed thee on the road. For His truth endureth ever, And His mercy ceaseth never. Wherefore, then, my soul, despair? God still lives, who heareth prayer. 5 God liveth still! Soul, despair not, fear no ill! Is the yoke of sin too galling? Christ Himself has set thee free, Borne for thee their weight appalling, Cast them in oblivion's sea! In thy deepest grief and sadness He can grant thee joy and gladness. Wherefore, then, my soul, despair? God still lives, who heareth prayer. 6 God liveth still! Soul, despair not, fear no ill! When the world would let thee perish, Pathless all thy tangled way, God the nearer draws, to cherish Him who makes the Lord his stay. Children oft that most He loveth Thus with strictest rod He proveth. Wherefore, then, my soul, despair? God still lives, who heareth prayer. 7 God liveth still! Soul, despair not, fear no ill! Heaven's huge vault may cleave asunder, Earth's round globe in ruins burst, Satan's fellest rage may thunder, Death and hell may spend their worst; Then will God keep safe and surely Those who trust in Him securely. Wherefore, then, my soul, despair? God still lives, who heareth prayer. 8 God liveth still! Soul, despair not, fear no ill! Be thy life, until its ending, Full of thorns, of grief or need, God, in love the trial sending, Thus His child would heavenwards lead. For this life's long night of sadness He will give thee peace and gladness. Wherefore, then, my soul, despair? God still lives, who heareth prayer. Topics: Cross and Comfort Languages: English

Jesus, still lead on

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #331 (1918) Meter: 5.5.8.8.5.5 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, still lead on, Till our rest be won; And, although the way be cheerless, We will follow calm and fearless, Guide us by Thy hand To our fatherland. 2 If the way be drear, If the foe be near, Let no faithless fears o'ertake us; Let not faith and hope forsake us; For through many a woe To our home we go. 3 When we seek relief From a long-felt grief: When temptations come alluring, Make us patient and enduring; Show us that bright shore Where we weep no more. 4 Jesus, still lead on, Till our rest be won: Heavenly Leader, still direct us, Still support, console, protect us, Till we safely stand In our fatherland.

Thy grace is ever near, Thy Spirit ever here, Drawing to Thee. 2 Ages on ages rolled, Ere earth appeared, Yet Thine unmeasured love The way prepared; E'en then Thou yearn'st for me That I might nearer be, Nearer to Thee! 3 Thy Son has come to earth My sin to bear, My every wound to heal, My pain to share. "God in the flesh" for me, Brings me now nearer Thee, Nearer to Thee! 4 Lo! all my debt is paid, My guilt is gone. See! He has ris'n for me, My throne is won. Thanks, O my God, to Thee! None now an nearer be. Nearer to Thee! 5 Welcome, then, to Thy home, Blest One in Three! As Thou hast promised, come! Come, Lord, to me! Work, Thou, O God, through me, Live, Thou, O God, in me, Ever in me! 6 By the Baptismal stream, Which made me Thine, By the dear flesh and blood, thy love made mine, Purge, Thou, all sin from me, That I may nearer be, Nearer to Thee! 7 Surely it matters not What earth may bring, Death is of no account, Grace will I sing. Nothing remains for me, Save to be nearer Thee, Nearer to Thee! Topics: Faith and Justification Languages: English

Savior! I follow on

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #337 (1918) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1 Savior! I follow on, Guided by Thee, Seeing not yet the hand That leadeth me; Hushed be my heart and still, Fear I no further ill, Only to meet Thy will My will shall be. 2 Riven the rock for me Thirst to relieve, Manna from heaven falls Fresh every eve; Never a want severe Causeth my eye a tear, But tThou dost whisper near, "Only believe!" 3 Often to Marah's brink Have I been brought; Shrinking the cup to drink, Help I have sought; And with the prayer's ascent, Jesus the branch hath rent-- Quickly relief hath sent, Sweetening the draught. 4 Savior! I long to walk Closer with Thee; Led by Thy guiding hand, Ever to be Constantly near Thy side, Quickened and purified, Living for Him who died Freely for me!

My faith looks up to Thee

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #351 (1918) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary, Savior divine! Now hear me while I pray; Take all my guilt away; O let me from this day Be wholly Thine! 2 May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire; As Thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire. 3 While life's dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread, Be Thou my Guide; Bid darkness turn to day, Wipe sorrow's tears away, Nor let me ever stray From Thee aside. 4 When ends life's transient dream, When death's cold sullen stream Shall o'er me roll; Blest Savior, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove; O bear me safe above, A ransomed soul!
