Rest of the weary! Thou
Author: Salomo Franck, 1659-1725; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Lyra Germanica #36 (1861) Meter: 6.6.11.6.6.11 Lyrics:
Rest of the weary! Thou
Thyself art resting now,
Where lowly in Thy sepulchre Thou liest:
From out her deathly sleep
My soul doth start, to weep
So sad a wonder, that Thou Saviour diest!
Thy bitter anguish o'er,
To this dark tomb they bore
Thee, Life of Life--Thee, Lord of all creation!
The hollow rocky cave
Must serve Thee for a grave,
Who wast Thyself the Rock of our Salvation!
O Prince of Life! I know
That when I too lie low,
Thou wilt at last my soul from death awaken;
And thus I will not shrink
From the grave's awful brink;
The heart that trusts in Thee shall ne'er be shaken.
To me the darksome tomb
Is but a narrow room,
Where I may rest in peace from sorrow free;
Thy death shall give me power
To cry in that dark hour,
O Death, O Grave, where is your victory?
The grave can nought destroy,
Only the flesh can die,
And e'en the body triumphs o'er decay:
Clothed by Thy wondrous might
In robes of dazzling light,
This flesh shall burst the grave at that last Day.
My Jesus, day by day,
Help me to watch and pray,
Beside the tomb where in my heart Thou'rt laid.
Thy bitter death shall be
My constant memory,
My guide at last into Death's awful shade. Languages: English
Rest of the weary! Thou
Come Down, O Love Divine
Author: Bianco da Siena, d. 1434; Richard F. Littledale Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #162 (1982) Meter: 6.6.11.6.6.11 Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine;
Seek out this soul of mine,
And visit it with your own ardor glowing;
O Comforter, draw near;
Within my heart appear,
And kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
2 Oh, let it freely burn
Till worldly passions turn
To dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
And let your glorious light
Shine ever on my sight
And clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity
My outward vesture be
And lowliness become my inner clothing--
True lowliness of heart,
Which takes the humbler part
And over its shortcomings weeps with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong,
With which the soul will long,
Shall far outpass the pow'r of human telling;
No soul can guess his grace
Till it become the place
Wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling. Topics: Commitment; Consecration; Deaconesses and Deacons; Humility; Inner Life; Invocation; Life, Christian; Pentecost Languages: English Tune Title: DOWN AMPNEY

O Christmas, Welcome Here
Author: I. M. Hansen Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #273 (1927) Meter: 6.6.11.6.6.11 Lyrics: 1 O Christmas, welcome here
Again our hearts to cheer
With gladness, peace and grace which thou art bringing.
Thou didst begin with songs
From lips of angel-throngs,
Whose Christmas message still 'mongst us is ringing.
2 Be welcome, angel-throngs,
With those sweet Christmas songs
Of Him who is the Savior of all nations.
Oh, sing again this morn:
Today is Jesus born,
He comes to save you from your tribulations.
3 Be welcome, Christmas Joy,
Do Thou our songs employ
To spread the cheer, all broken hearts restoring,
And let them go abroad
That all with thanks to God
On wings of joy to heaven may be soaring.
4 To God our voice we lift
And thank HIm for His gift
Which He upon His people is bestowing.
Today came peace to earth,
Thro' our blest Savior's birth,
And grace now unto us in streams is flowing.
5 Hallelujah, God's Son
For us salvation won
And promised us that we shall see His glory.
He took our ev'ry ill
And brought to us good will,
We hail with great delight the Christmas story. Topics: Spiritual Songs Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: [O Christmas, welcome here]

O God, In Mercy Mild
Author: L. Maltesen Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #315 (1927) Meter: 6.6.11.6.6.11 Lyrics: 1 O God, in mercy mild,
Preserve me as Thy child,
And be to me a Father and Defender;
Teach me, when shadows fall,
Upon Thy name to call
And lift my hands to Thee for mercy tender.
2 Teach me with joy to hail
The hope that can not fail,
Which Thou didst give to me in life's bright morning;
Teach me in life and death
With care to keep the faith,
And follow Thee with love and ardor burning.
3 Teach me like birds to sing
The songs that hope will bring
To him who toils as well as to the rover;
Teach me in darkest night
As birds to make my flight
To Thee who with Thy pinions me wilt cover.
4 Teach me, when clouded skies
Do veil my spirit's eyes
And foes attack and thorns and thistles tear me,
To trust in Thee, O God,
Who guidest with Thy rod,
Until the light breaks thro' the clouds that scare me.
5 Teach me some day to die,
As seeds that sprouting lie,
With hope for life beyond death's gloomy portal,
Where I shall meet with friends,
Whom Jesus Christ attends,
In Paradise among the saints immortal. Topics: Spiritual Songs Protection Languages: English Tune Title: [O God, in mercy mild]
