O Lord, How Shall I Meet Thee

Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 47 hymnals First Line: O Lord, how shall I meet Thee Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how shall I meet Thee, How welcome Thee aright? Thy people long to greet Thee, My Hope, my heart’s Delight! Oh, kindle, Lord most holy Thy lamp within my breast To do in spirit lowly All that may please Thee best. 2 Thy Zion strews before Thee Green boughs and fairest palms, And I, too, will adore Thee With joyous songs and psalms. My heart shall bloom forever For Thee with praises new And from Thy name shall never Withhold the honor due. 3 I lay in fetters, groaning, Thou com’st to set me free; I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou com’st to honor me; A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail or leave me As earthly riches fly. 4 Love caused Thy incarnation, Love brought Thee down to me; Thy thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. O love beyond all telling, That led Thee to embrace, In love all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race! 5 Rejoice, then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o’er joys departed And tremble at your doom. Despair not, He is near you, Yea, standing at the door. Who best can help and cheer you, And bids you weep no more. 6 Ye need not toil nor languish Nor ponder day and night How in the midst of anguish Ye draw Him by your might. He comes, He comes all willing, Moved by His love alone, Your woes and troubles stilling; For all to Him are known. 7 Sin's debt, that fearful burden, Let not your souls distress; Your guilt the Lord will pardon And cover by His grace. He comes, for men procuring The peace of sin forgiven, For all God's sons securing Their heritage in heaven. 8 What though the foes by raging, Heed not their craft and spite; Your Lord, the battle waging, Will scatter all their might. He comes, a King most glorious, And all His earthly foes In vain His course victorious Endeavor to oppose. 9 He comes to judge the nations, A terror to His foes, A Light of consolations And blessèd Hope to those Who love the Lord's appearing. O glorious Sun, now come, Send forth Thy beams so cheering, And guide us safely home! Amen.

O Jesus, King of Glory

Your realm endures forever, In heaven is your throne. Help that in earth's dominions, From pole to farthest pole, Your reign may spread salvation To each benighted soul. 2 The eastern sages, kneeling, Their richest tributes bring, Where witnessing your glory, They worship you, their King. To you the star is pointing, The sure prophetic Word; So joyously we hail you: Our Savior and our Lord! 3 You are a mighty monarch, As by your Word is told, Yet you care very little For earthly goods or gold; You come not proudly riding, You seek no great renown, You dwell in no high castle, You wear no jeweled crown. 4 Yet you are decked with beauty, With rays of glorious light; Your works proclaim your goodness, And all your ways are right. O Lord, protect your people With your almighty arm That they may dwell in safety From those who mean them harm. 5 Oh, look on me with pity Though I am weak and poor; Admit me to your kingdom To dwell there, blest and sure. I pray, Lord, guide and keep me Safe from my bitter foes, From sin and death and Satan; Free me from all my woes. 6 Then let your Word within me Shine as the fairest star, Your reign of love revealing How wonderful you are. Help me confess you truly And with your Christendom Here own you King and Savior With all the world to come. Topics: Epiphany Used With Tune: VALET WILL ICH DIR GEBEN

The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up,up, ye heirs of glory; The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Your cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign for ever, When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold, In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold! 4 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth’s redemption, That brings us unto Thee! Amen.
