Jesus Christ, our blessed Savior

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #441 (1918) Meter: 8.8.7.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, our blessed Savior, Turned away God’s wrath forever; Suffering pains no tongue can tell, He saved us from the pains of hell. 2 To remind us that, to save us, He hath died, His flesh He gave us, With this bread, a quick'ning food, And with this wine, His precious blood. 3 Whoso to this board repaireth, Take good heed how He prepareth; Death instead of life shall he Receive who comes unworthily. 4 Thou shalt hold with faith unshaken, That this food is to be taken By the sick who are distressed, By those whose heart is sin-oppressed. 5 Christ says: Come, ye heavy-laden, I your weary hearts will gladden; They that are yet strong and well, Despise the best physician's skill. 6 Couldst thou earn thine own salvation, Useless were my death and passion; This feast is not spread for thee, If thine own helper thou wilt be. 7 If thou this believest truly, And confession makest duly, Thou a welcome guest art here, This heavenly food thy soul shall cheer. 8 But the fruits must not be missing, Love thy neighbor without ceasing, That true love let him receive, Which here to thee thy God doth give.

The voice that breathed o'er Eden

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #442 (1918) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 The voice that breathed o’er Eden, That earliest wedding day, The primal wedding blessing,-- It hath not passed away. 2 Still in the pure espousal Of Christian man and maid, The Holy Thee are with us, The threefold grace is said. 3 Be present, loving Father, To give away this bride, As Eve Thou gav'st to Adam Out of His own pierced side. 4 Be present, Son of Mary, To join their loving hands, As Thou didst bind two natures In Thine eternal bands. 5 Be present, Holiest Spirit, To bless them as they kneel, As Thou for Christ, the Bridegroom, The heavenly spouse dost seal. 6 O spread Thy pure wings o’er them, Let no ill power find place, When onward to Thine altar Their hallowed path they trace. 7 To cast their crowns before Thee In perfect sacrifice, Till to the home of gladness With Christ’s own Bride they rise.

Lord, who at Cana's wedding feast

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #443 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Lord, who at Cana’s wedding feast Didst as a guest appear, Thou dearer far than earthly guest Vouchsafe Thy presence here; For holy Thou indeed dost prove The marriage vow to be, Proclaiming it a type of love Between the Church and Thee. 2 The holiest vow that man can make, The golden thread in life, The bond that none may dare to break, That bindeth man and wife; Which, blest by Thee, whate’er betides, No evil shall destroy, Thro' care-worn days each care divides, And doubles every joy. 3 On those who now before Thee kneel, O Lord, Thy blessing pour, That each may wake the other’s zeal To love Thee more and more: Oh, grant them here in peace to live, In purity and love, And, this world leaving, to receive A crown of life above.

O perfect Love, all human thought transcending

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #444 (1918) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 O perfect Love, all human thought transcending, Lowly we kneel in pray'r before Thy throne, That theirs may be the love which knows no ending, Whom Thou forevermore dost join in one. 2 O perfect Life, be Thou their full assurance, Of tender charity and steadfast faith, Of patient hope, and quiet, brave endurance With childlike trust that fears nor pain nor death. 3 Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow; Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife, And to life's day the glorious, unknown morrow That dawns upon eternal love and life.

Gracious Savior, gentle Shepherd

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #447 (1918) Meter: 8.7.6.1 Lyrics: 1 Gracious Savior, gentle Shepherd, Children all are dear to Thee; Gathered with Thine arms, and carried In Thy bosom, may They be; Sweetly, fondly, safely tended, From all want and danger free. 2 Tender Shepherd, never leave them From Thy fold to go astray; By Thy warning love directed, May they walk the narrow way; Thus direct them, thus defend them, Lest they fall an easy prey. 3 Cleanse their hearts from sinful folly In the stream Thy love supplied, Mingled stream of blood and water Flowing from Thy wounded side; And to heavenly pastures lead them, Where Thy own still waters glide. 4 Let Thy holy Word instruct them; Fill their minds with heavenly light; Let Thy powerful grace constrain them To approve whate'er is right; Let them feel Thy yoke is easy, Let them prove Thy burden light. 5 Taught to lisp Thy holy praises Which on earth Thy children sing, Both with lips and hearts unfeignèd, Glad thank-offerings may they bring; Then with all the saints in glory Join to praise their Lord and King.

Savior, who Thy flock art feeding

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #449 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Ssvior, who Thy flock art feeding With the shepherd's kindest care, All the feeble gently leading, While the lambs Thy bosom share. 2 Now, these little ones receiving, Fold them in Thy gracious arm; There, we know, Thy word believing, Only there secure from harm. 3 Never, from Thy pasture roving, Let them be the Lion's prey; Let Thy tenderness, so loving, Keep them through life's dangerous way. 4 Then within Thy fold eternal Let them find a resting-place: Feed in pastures ever vernal, Drink the rivers of Thy grace.

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #450 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Lord of hosts, whose glory fills The bounds of the eternal hills, And yet vouchsafst, in Christian lands, To dwell in temples made with hands. 2 Grant that all we, who here to-day Rejoicing this foundation lay, May be in very deed Thine own, Built on the precious corner-stone. 3 The heads that guide endue with skill, The hands that work preserve from ill, That we, who these foundations lay, May raise the topstone in its day. 4 Both now and ever, Lord, protect The temple of Thine own elect; Be Thou in them, and they in Thee, O ever-blessed Trinity!

In the Name which earth and heaven

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #451 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.1 Lyrics: 1 In the Name which earth and heaven Ever worship, praise, and fear, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Shall a house be builded here: Here with prayer its deep foundations, In the faith of Christ, we lay, Trusting by His help to crown it With the top-stone in its day. 2 Here as in their due succession Stone on stone the workmen place, Thus, we pray, unseen but surely, Jesu, build us up in grace; Till, within these walls completed, We complete in Thee are found; And to Thee, the one Foundation, Strong and living stones, are bound. 3 Fair shall be Thine earthly temple: Here the careless passer-by Shall bethink him, in its beauty, Of the holier House on high; Weary hearts and troubled spirits Here shall find a still retreat; Sinful souls shall bring their burden Here to the Absolver's feet. 4 Yet with truer, nobler beauty, Lord, we pray, this house adorn, Where Thy Bride, Thy Church redeemèd, Robes her for her marriage morn; Clothed in garments of salvation, Rich with gems of heavenly grace, Spouse of Christ, arrayed and waiting Till she may behold His face. 5 Here in due and solemn order May her ceaseless prayer arise; Here may strains of holy gladness Lift her heart above the skies; Here the word of life be spoken; Here the child of God be sealed; Here the Bread of Heaven be broken, "Till He come," Himself revealed. 6 Praise to Thee, O Master-Builder, Maker of the earth and skies; Praise to Thee, in Whom Thy temple Fitly framed, together lies; Praise to Thee, eternal Spirit, Binding all that lives in one: Till our earthly praise be ended, And th'eternal song begun!
