Blessed Jesus, We Are Here
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 70 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, we are here,
gladly your command obeying.
With this child we now draw near
in response to your own saying
that to you it shall be given
as a child and heir of heaven.
2 Your command is clear and plain.
and we would obey it duly:
"You must all be born again,
heart and life renewing truly,
born of water and the Spirit,
and my kingdom thus inherit."
3 This is why we come to you
in our arms this infant bearing;
Lord, to us your glory show;
Let this child, your mercy sharing,
in your arms be shielded ever,
yours on earth and yours forever.
4 Gracious Head, your member own;
Shepherd, take your lamb and feed it;
Prince of Peace, make here your throne;
way of life, to heaven lead it;
Precious vine, let nothing sever
from your side this branch forever.
5 Now into your heart we pour
prayers that from our hearts proceeded.
Our petitions heav'nward soar;
may our fond desires be heeded!
Write the name we now have given;
write it in the book of heaven!

Now Our Worship Sweet Is O'er
Author: Hartmann Schenk, (1634-1681); Matthias Loy Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now our worship sweet is o'er--
Singing, praying, teaching, hearing:
Let us gladly God adore
For His gracious strength and cheering.
Bless His Name, who fain would save us,
For the rich repast He gave us.
2 Now the blessing cheers our heart,
And the service all is ended,
Let us joyfully depart,
Be our souls to God commended:
His good Spirit ever guide us,
And with all things well provide us.
3 Let our going out be blest,
Bless our entrance in like measure;
Bless, O Lord, our toil and rest,
Bless our bread, our grief, and pleasure;
Be in death Thy blessing given;
And make us blessèd heirs of heaven!
Amen.

Jesus Lives

He arose, triumphant, glorious!
Now hath He indeed become
By His death for aye victorious,
Lightnings flash, the earth is heaving;
Rent the grave! The Lord is living!
2. Christ arose! His victory’s mine!
He from death can sure deliver,
Whom the grave could not confine,
’Tis my peace and comfort ever.
Open waits me heaven’s portal;
He arose with life immortal.
3. Jesus lives! No longer death
With its terrors can appall me;
I approach my tomb with faith,
There to rest till He shall call me.
On this truth my hope I anchor,
Jesus lives! and I shall conquer. Used With Tune: JESUS LIVES

Blessed Jesus, at Thy word
Author: Tobias Clausnitzer; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 144 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at your word
we are gathered all to hear you.
Let our hearts and souls be stirred
now to seek and love and fear you.
By your gospel pure and holy,
teach us, Lord, to love you solely.
2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight
lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
till your Spirit breaks our night
with your beams of truth unclouded.
You alone to God can win us;
you must work all good within us.
3 Glorious Lord, yourself impart;
Light of Light, from God proceeding,
open lips and ears and heart;
help us by your Spirit's leading.
Hear the cry your church now raises;
Lord, accept our prayers and praises.

Blessed Jesus, at Thy word
God, from all eternity
Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God, from all eternity
In Thy Son Thou didst elect me;
Therefore, Father, graciously
In my course to heaven direct me;
Send to me Thy Holy Spirit,
That His gifts I may inherit.
2 Though alive, I'm dead in sin,
To all good things lost by nature;
Holy Ghost, change me within,
Make of me a new-born creature;
For the flesh deserves damnation,
And can never gain salvation.
3 Drive away the gloomy night
Of erroneous reflection;
Quench all thoughts that are not right,
Hold my reason in subjection;
Grant that I from Thee with yearning
Wisdom may be always learning.
4 All desires and thoughts of mine,
From my youth, are only evil;
Save me by Thy power divine
From myself and from the Devil;
Give me strength in ample measure,
Both to will and do Thy pleasure.
5 A clean heart create in me,
Which in Thee, O God, believeth,
And at the iniquity
Of my sins sincerely grieveth;
And when hours of woe betide me,
In the wounds of Jesus hide me.
6 As a branchlet in the vine,
In my blessèd Lord implant me;
Ever of my Head divine
To remain a member, grant me;
Ever of my Head divine
To remain a member, grant me;
O let Him, my Lord and Savior,
Be my Life and Love forever.
7 Faith, and hope, and charity,
Graciously, O Father, give me;
Be my Guardian constantly,
That no devil e'er may grieve me,
Grant me humbleness, and gladness,
Peace, and patience, in my sadness.
8 Help me speak what's right and just,
And keep silence on occasion;
Help me pray, Lord, as I must;
Help me bear my tribulation;
Help me die, and let my spirit
Everlasting life inherit. Topics: Sanctification

Jesus, Savior, Wondrous Mild
Author: H. Brueckner; Benj. Schmolk Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Jesus, Savior, wondrous mild,
On Thy tender grace relying,
We present this infant child,
With Thy plain behest complying:
Children shall to me be given;
Theirs the kingdom is of heaven.
2. Nor should we Thy warning scorn,
That by water and the Spirit
Man must needs be newly born
If his soul would fain inherit,
As Thy kingdom's sacred treasure,
Grace and peace in fullest measure.
3. So we hasten, Lord, to Thee,
In our arms this infant bearing;
Pledged to Thee O let it be,
All Thy tender mercies sharing;
Own it as Thy child forever;
Naught from Thee its soul shall sever.
4. Now upon Thy heart we lay
That which from the heart proceeded;
Hear our sighings, Lord, we pray,
Let our deep desires be heeded;
Write the name that we have given
In the book of life in heaven. Topics: The Means of Grace The Sarraments-Holy Baptism Used With Tune: NUREMBERG

Troparia (from the Canon of the Resurrection): Ode VII
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Then the earth in terror shook Lyrics:
Then the earth in terror shook,
And the sun grew dark in wonder;
Then the Temple veil was torn,
And the rocks were rent asunder;--
For the Just One, God most glorious,
Died upon the Cross victorious.
O Most High, Whom heaven adores,
Thou wast born to us in weakness,
Bore the scourging and the wounds,
Died upon the Cross in meekness;--
Now o'er death we rise victorious,
By the power of God most glorious.
