Lord, Help Us Ever to Retain
Author: Matthias Loy; Ludwig Helmbold Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 20:1-17 Lyrics: 1 Lord, help us ever to retain
The Catechism's doctrine plain
As Luther taught the Word of Truth
In simple style to tender youth.
2 Help us Thy holy Law to learn,
To mourn our sin, and from it turn
In faith to Thee and to Thy Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One.
3 Hear us, dear Father, when we pray
For needed help from day to day
That as Thy children we may live,
Whom Thou in Baptism didst receive.
4 Lord, when we fall and sin doth stain,
Absolve and lift us up again;
And thro' the Sacrament increase
Our faith till we depart in peace.
Amen.

From the deep places, hear my cry
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 130 Lyrics: 1 From the deep places, hear my cry,
those hidden depths of guilt within:
O God of mercy, God Most High,
keep no account of all my sin.
2 Before your glory none can stand,
no mortal eye behold your face:
extend to me your kingly hand,
the sovereign touch of saving grace.
3 O Lord, in whom all needs are met,
draw near in love to me, I pray,
for on your word my hopes are set,
as watchmen wait for coming day.
4 As watchmen wait till dawn appears,
so God's redeeming love is shown;
to shed, unfailing through the years,
the dew of blessing on his own. Topics: God in grace and mercy; Hope; Lent; Longing; Penitence; Sin; The First Sunday of Lent Year C Used With Tune: BRESLAU
From the deep places, hear my cry
God is a name my soul adores
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 82 hymnals Scripture: Ecclesiastes 1:4-8 Lyrics: 1 God is a name my soul adores,
the almighty Three, the eternal One;
nature and grace with all their powers
confess the infinite unknown.
2 Thy voice produced the sea and spheres,
bade the waves roar, the planets shine;
but nothing like thyself appears
through all these spacious works of thine.
3 Still restless nature dies and grows;
from change to change the creatures run:
thy being no succession knows,
and all thy vast designs are one.
4 A glance of thine runs through the globe.
rules the bright worlds and moves their frame;
of light thou form'st thy dazzling robe.
thy ministers are living flame.
5 How shall polluted mortals dare
to sing thy glory or thy grace?
Beneath thy feet we lie afar,
and see but shadows of thy face.
6 Who can behold the blazing light?
Who can approach consuming flame?
None but thy wisdom knows thy might,
none but thy word can speak thy name. Topics: Creation Used With Tune: BRESLAU

A time to watch, a time to pray
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27:27-54 Lyrics: 1 A time to watch, a time to pray,
a day of wonders is today:
the saddest, yet the gladdest too,
that earth or heaven ever knew.
2 The saddest, for our Saviour bore
his death, that we might die no more:
the agony, the scourge, the fear,
the crown of thorns, the cross, the spear.
3 And yet the gladdest, for today
our load of sin was borne away:
and hopes of joy that never dies
hang on our Saviour's sacrifice.
4 O Saviour, how we bless your name!
Yours is the glory, ours the shame;
by all the pain your love endured
let all our many sins be cured. Topics: Atonement; Church Year Good Friday; Good Friday; Jesus Name; Sin Used With Tune: BRESLAU

We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died
Author: Samuel Medley; Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27:37 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died,
of him who died upon the cross;
the sinner's hope though all deride;
for this we count the world but loss
2 Inscribed upon the cross we see,
in shining letters, "God is love";
he bears our sins upon the tree;
he brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross! it takes our guilt away;
it holds the fainting spirit up;
it cheers with hope the gloomy day,
and sweetens ev'ry bitter cup;
4 it makes the coward spirit brave,
and nerves the feeble arm for right;
it takes its terror from the grave,
and gilds the bed of death with light;
5 the balm of life, the cure of woe,
the measure and the pledge of love,
the sinner's refuge here below,
the angels' theme in heav'n above.

O Christ, our true and only Light
Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 96 hymnals Scripture: John 9:5 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light,
Illumine those who sit in night;
Let those afar now hear thy voice,
And in thy fold with us rejoice.
2 And all who else have strayed from thee,
O gently seek; thy healing be
To ev'ry wounded conscience giv'n;
And let them also share thy heav'n.
3 O make the deaf to hear thy Word;
And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord,
Who dare not yet the faith avow,
Though secretly they hold it now.
4 Shine on the darkened and the cold;
Recall the wand'rers from thy fold;
Unite those now who walk apart;
Confirm the weak and doubting heart.
5 So they with us may evermore
Such grace with wond'ring thanks adore,
And endless praise to thee be giv'n
By all the church in earth and heav'n.
Amen. Topics: Backsliding; Calling; Christ The Light; The Church The Kingdom of God; The Church Unity or Used With Tune: BRESLAU

God of the Earth, the Sky, the Sea
Author: Samuel Longfellow, b. 1819 Appears in 109 hymnals Scripture: Acts 17:28 Lyrics: 1 God of the earth, the sky, the sea, Maker of all above, below, Creation lives and moves in Thee, Thy present life through all doth flow.
2 Thy love is in the sunshine’s glow, Thy life is in the quickening air; When lightnings flash and storm-winds blow, There is Thy power; Thy law is there.
3 We feel Thy calm at evening’s hour, Thy grandeur in the march of night; And when Thy morning breaks in power, We hear Thy Word, "Let there be light!"
4 But higher far, and far more clear, Thee in man’s spirit we behold; Thine image and Thyself are there. Indwelling God, proclaimed of old. Amen. Topics: Creation; God; Praise Used With Tune: HERR JESU CHRIST, MEIN'S LEBENS LICHT

We Bid Thee Welcome in the Name
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 135 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 Lyrics: 1 We bid thee welcome in the name
Of Jesus, our exalted Head.
Come as a servant,- so He came,
And we receive thee in His stead.
2 Come as a shepherd; guard and keep
This fold from hell and world and sin;
Nourish the lambs and feed the sheep;
The wounded heal, the lost bring in.
3 Come as a teacher sent from God,
Charged His whole counsel to declare.
Lift o’er our ranks the prophet’s rod
While we uphold thy hands with prayer.
4 Come as a messenger of peace,
Filled with the Spirit, fired with love.
Live to behold our large increase
And die to meet us all above.
Amen. Topics: The Church Ministry Used With Tune: HERR JESU CHRIST, MEIN'S
