Now I Have Found the Ground wherein

Author: J. A. Rothe Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home (2nd ed.) #192 (1928) Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the ground wherein Sure my soul’s anchor may remain-- The wounds of Jesus, for my sin Before the world’s foundation slain; Whose mercy shall unshaken stay, When heaven and earth are fled away. 2 Father, Thine everlasting grace Our scanty thought surpasses far, Thy heart still melts with tenderness, Thy arms of love still open are, Returning sinners to receive, That mercy they may taste and live. 3 O Love, Thou bottomless abyss, My sins are swallowed up in Thee! Covered is my unrighteousness, Nor spot of guilt remains on me, While Jesus’ blood, through earth and skies Mercy, free, boundless mercy! cries. 4 With faith I plunge me in this sea, Here is my hope, my joy, my rest; Hither, when hell assails, I flee, I look into my Savior’s breast: Away, sad doubt and anxious fear! Mercy is all that’s written there. 5 Though waves and storms go o’er my head, Though strength, and health, and friends be gone, Though joys be withered all and dead, Though every comfort be withdrawn, On this my steadfast soul relies,-- Father, Thy mercy never dies! 6 Fixed on this ground will I remain, Though my heart fail and flesh decay; This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth’s foundations melt away; Mercy’s full pow'r I then shall prove, Loved with an everlasting love.

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #203 (1898) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; Unite my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there. Thine wholly, Thine alone I am; Be Thou alone my constant flame. 2 Oh, grant that nothing in my soul May dwell, but Thy pure love alone! Oh, may Thy love possess me whole, And be my treasure, and my crown! Strange flames far from my heart remove; May every act, word, thought, be love! 3 O Love, how cheering is thy ray! All pain before thy presence flies: Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek but Thee! 4 O draw me, Saviour, after Thee! So shall I run and never tire. With gracious words still comfort me; Be Thou my hope, my sole desire. Free me from every weight: not fear No sin can come, if Thou art here. 5 From all eternity, with love Unchangeable Thou hast me viewed; Ere knew this beating heart to move, Thy tender mercies me pursued. Ever with me may they abide, And close me in on every side. 6 Still let Thy love point out my way; What wondrous things Thy love hath wrought! Still lead me, lest I go astray; Direct my word, inspire my thought; And if I fall, soon may I hear Thy voice, and know that love is near. 7 In suffering, be Thy love my peace; In weakness, be Thy love my power; And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in that dark final hour Of death, be Thou my guide and friend, That I may love Thee without end.

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #204 (1898) Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd’s care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noonday walks He shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads My weary, wandering steps He leads, Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow. 3 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For Thou, O Lord, art with me still: Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me thro' the dreadful shade. 4 Though in a bare and rugged way, Through devious, lonely wilds I stray, Thy bounty shall my pains beguile: The barren wilderness shall smile, With sudden greens and herbage crowned, And streams shall murmur all around.

O world, behold! upon the tree

Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #317 (1913) Lyrics: 1 O world, behold! upon the tree Thy Life is hanging now for thee: Thy Savior yields His dying breath. The mighty Prince of glory now For thee doth unresisting bow To cruel stripes, to scorn and death. 2 Alas! my Savior, who could dare Bid Thee such bitter anguish bear? What evil heart ill-treat Thee thus? For Thou art good, hast wrongéd none, As we and ours too oft have done; Thou hast not sinner, dear Lord, like us. 3 My grievous sins, the number more Than yonder sands upon the shore, Have brought to pass this agony: 'Tis I have caused the floods of woe That now Thy soul in death o'erflow, And those sad hearts that watch by Thee. 4 'Tis I to whom these pains belong; 'Tis I should suffer for my wrong, Bound hand and foot in heavy chains: Thy scourge, Thy fetters, whatsoe'er Thou bearest, 'tis my soul should bear, For I have well deserved such pains. 5 Lord, from Thy sorrows I will learn How fiercely wrath divine doth burn, How terribly its thunders roll; How sorely this our loving God Can smite with His avenging rod; How deep His floods o'erwhelm the soul. 6 And I will nail me to Thy cross, And learn to count all things but dross, Wherein the flesh doth pleasure take; Whate'er is hateful in thine eyes, With all the strength that in me lies, Will I cast from me and forsake. 7 Thy heavy groans, Thy bitter sighs, The tears that from Thy dying eyes Were shed when Thou wast sore oppressed, Shall be with me, when at the last Myself on Thee I wholly cast, And enter with Thee into rest.

Our Father, Thou in heaven above

Author: M. Luther Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #359 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Our Father, Thou in heaven above, Who biddest us to dwell in love, As brethren of one family, And cry for all we need to Thee; Teach us to mean the words we say, And from the inmost heart to pray. 2 All hallowed be Thy name, O Lord! O let us firmly keep Thy Word, And lead, according to Thy name, A holy life, untouched by blame; Let no false teachings do us hurt-- All poor deluded souls convert. 3 Thy kingdom come! Thine let it be In time and in eternity! O let Thy Holy Spirit dwell With us, to rule and guide us well; From Satan's mighty power and rage Preserve Thy Church from age to age. 4 Thy will be done on earth, O Lord, As where in heaven Thou art adored! Patience in time of grief bestow, Obedience true in weal and woe; Our sinful flesh and blood control That thwart Thy will within the soul. 5 Give us this day our daily bread, Let us be duly clothed and fed; And keep Thou from our homes afar Famine and pestilence and war, That we may live in godly peace Unvexed by cares and avarice. 6 Forgive our sins, that they no more May grieve and haunt us as before, As we forgive their trespasses Who unto us have done amiss; Thus let us dwell in charity And serve each other willingly. 7 Into temptation lead us not. And when the foe doth war and plot Against our souls on every hand, Then armed with faith, O may we stand Against him as a valiant host Through comfort of the Holy Ghost. 8 Deliverance from all evil give, And yet in evil days we live; Redeem us from eternal death, And when we yield our dying breath, Console us, grant us calm release, And take our souls to Thee in peace. 9 Amen! That is, So let it be! Strengthen our faith and trust in Thee, That we may doubt not, but believe, That what we ask we shall receive; Thus in Thy name and at Thy word We say: Amen; Now hear us, Lord.

Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith

Author: J. Heermann Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #401 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith, I would not have the sinner's death. Far rather 'tis My holy will, That in his course he should stand still. Repentant sinners I forgive, Then let them hear, believe, and live. 2 Think of this word, O guilty soul! Despair not: Christ can make thee whole, In Him there's pardon, peace, and grace; A sure and blessed hiding-place. The covenant, confirmed by blood, Doth stand upon the oath of God. 3 O trifle not the time away! Say not, "I'll come another day." Say not, "I'll have my soul's desire, And turn when of the world I tire." Say not, "I'll then converted be, God will be merciful to me." 4 'Tis true that God is rich in grace,-- Beholding His Anointed's face. The blood of Christ atoned for sin, He died eternal life to win; Yet God doth not vouchsafe to say That thou shalt live "another day." 5 O hasten, sinner, to be wise! Nor dare God's message to despise. He who this hour supplies thy breath, The next, may give thee o'er to death. And if thy sins are not forgiven, Thou'lt never, never enter heaven. 6 Then cry: "Lord Jesus, help Thou me, This very day I come to Thee! O give me peace, and from this hour Deliver me from Satan's power; That henceforth and eternally, Thyself my all in all may be!"

How fair the Church of Christ shall stand

Author: T. Kingo Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #406 (1913) Lyrics: 1 How fair the Church of Christ shall stand, A beacon-light in all the land, When love and faith all hearts inspire, And all unite in one desire To be as brothers, and agree To live in peace and unity. 2 'Tis all in vain that you profess The doctrines of the Church, unless You live according to your creed, And show your faith by word and deed. Observe the rule: To others do As you would have them do to you. 3 Resentment, hate, and cruel jest, Must not be harbored in the breast Where love and charity should dwell; Then, think and speak of others well, Refrain from all that causes strife And mars a truly Christian life. 4 So let your tongue, your heart, and mind Agree to banish every kind Of malice, falsehood and disguise, And here on earth a paradise Of peace and harmony maintain, Where concord and good-will shall reign. 5 For God observes our thoughts and deeds, The secrets of our heart He reads; The wicked can not be concealed, Their evil ways shall be revealed, He every true believer knows, And love and grace on him bestows. 6 My soul, be therefore of good cheer, Though sinners threaten, scoff, and sneer, Serenely on your way proceed, Nor worldly strife and clamor heed, For Jesus' sake the cross you bear, And soon with Him the crown shall wear. 7 O gracious God, wilt Thou my heart So fashion in each secret part, That Thou be sanctified in me, Till Thee in heaven above I see, Where holy, holy, holy, Lord, We sing to Thee with sweet accord.

God of the living, in Whose eyes

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: The Hymnal #410b (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: God of the living, in whose eyes Unveiled thy whole creation lies, All souls are thine; we must not say That those are dead who pass away, From this our world of flesh set free; We know them living unto thee. Released from earthly toil and strife, With thee is hidden still their life; Thine are their thoughts, their works, their powers, All thine, and yet most truly ours, For well we know, where'er they be, Our dead are living unto thee. Not spilt like water on the ground, Not wrapped in dreamless sleep profound, Not wandering in unknown despair Beyond thy voice, thine arm, thy care; Not left to lie like fallen tree; Not dead, but living unto thee. Thy word is true, thy will is just; To thee we leave them, Lord, in trust; And bless thee for the love which gave Thy Son to fill a human grave, That none might fear that world to see Where all are living unto thee. 374 O Breather into man of breath, O Holder of the keys of death, O Giver of the life within, Save us from death, the death of sin; That body, soul, and spirit be For ever living unto thee!

On thee, our FATHER, we rely, That thou wilt all our wants supply. 6 Our Debts forgive us, LORD, as we Forgive our Debtors, - For with thee Forgiveness is, through CHRIST thy Son, Whose Blood did for our Guilt attone. Let mutual Love and Charity Be Proofs of our Sincerity. 7 Into Temptation lead us not, - Though we re weak, and En'mies plot, Though Satan, Would and Flesh combine Against us, and our Hurt design; May we, by thine Almighty Aid, Ev'n more than conquerors be made. 8 LORD from all Evil set us free, And make us more conform'd to thee; And as our Journey's End is Death, when called to resign our Breath, O may thy everlasting Love Receive us to thy Joys above. 9 For thine's the Kingdom, thine the Pow'r, And thine the Glory evermore, Firmly in thee our Souls confide, The Pray'r of Faith was ne'er deny'd.

When from my sight all fades away, And when my tongue no more can say, And when mine ears no more can hear, And when my heart is racked with fear: 3 When all my mind is darkened o'er, And human help can do no more; Then come, Lord Jesus! come with speed, And help me in my hour of need; Lead me from this dark vale beneath, And shorten then the pangs of death. 4 Joyful my resurrection be, Thou in the judgment plead for me, And hide my sins, Lord, from Thy face, And give me life, of Thy rich grace! I trust Thee utterly, my Lord, For Thou hast promised in Thy word! 5 Dear Lord, forgive us all our guilt; Help us to wait until Thou wilt That we depart; and let our faith Be brave, and conquer e'en in death; Firm resting on Thy sacred word, Until we sleep in Thee, our Lord.
