Winkworth , 1827-78; Unknown Hymnal: ELH1996 #1 (1996) Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Blessèd Jesus, at Thy Word We are gathered all to hear Thee; Let our hearts and souls be stirred Now to seek and love and fear Thee; By thy teachings, sweet and holy, Drawn from earth to love Thee solely. 2 All our knowledge, sense and sight Lie in deepest darkness shrouded Till Thy Spirit breaks our night With the beams of truth unclouded; Thou alone to God canst win us; Thou must work all good within us. 3 Glorious Lord, Thyself impart, Light of Light, from God proceeding; Open Thou our ears and heart, Help us by Thy Spirit’s pleading. Hear the cry Thy people raises; Hear and bless our prayers and praises. 4 Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Praise to Thee and adoration! Grant that we Thy Word may trust, And obtain true consolation While we here below must wander, Till we sing Thy praises yonder. Topics: Invocation Languages: English Tune Title: LIEBSTER JESU

Mattes, 1876-1948 Hymnal: ELH1996 #121 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold, a branch is growing Of loveliest form and grace, As prophets sung, foreknowing; It springs from Jesse's race And bears one little Flow'r In midst of coldest winter, At deepest midnight hour. 2 Isaiah hath foretold It In words of promise sure, And Mary's arms enfold It, A virgin meek and pure. Through God's eternal will This Child to her is given At midnight calm and still. 3 The shepherds heard the story, Proclaimed by angels bright, How Christ, the Lord of Glory, Was born on earth this night. To Bethlehem they sped And in the manger found Him, As angel heralds said. 4 This Flow'r, whose fragrance tender With sweetness fills the air, Dispels with glorious splendor The darkness ev'rywhere. True Man, yet very God; From sin and death He saves us And lightens ev'ry load. 5 0 Savior, Child of Mary, Who felt our human woe; O Savior, King of Glory. Who dost our weakness know, Bring us at length, we pray. To the bright courts of heaven And to the endless day. Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST EIN ROS

Brightest and Best

Author: R. Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: ELH1996 #169 (1996) Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: Brightest and best of the stars of the morning Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid. Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining; Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Savior of all. 3 Shall we not yield Him, in costly devotion Fragrance of Edom and off'rings divine, Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would His favor secure. Richer by far is the heart's adoration; Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid. Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING STAR

Built on the Rock

Døving, 1867-1937 Hymnal: ELH1996 #211 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: Built on the Rock the Church doth stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church doth stand Even when steeples are falling; Crumbled have spires in ev'ry land, Bells still are chiming and calling, Calling the young and old to rest, But above all the soul distressed, Longing for rest everlasting. 2 Surely in temples made with hands God, the Most High, is not dwelling; High above earth His temple stands, All earthly temples excelling. Yet He whom heav'ns cannot contain Chose to abide on earth with men-- Built in our bodies His temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, Builded for His habitation; He through baptismal grace us owns Heirs of His wondrous salvation; Were we but two His name to tell, Yet He would deign with us to dwell, With all His grace and His favor. 4 Now we may gather with our King E'en in the lowliest dwelling; Praises to Him we there may bring, His wondrous mercy forthtelling; Jesus His grace to us accords, Spirit and life are all His words, His truth doth hallow the temple. 5 Still we our earthly temples rear That we may herald His praises; They are the homes where He draws near And little children embraces; Beautiful things in them are said, God there with us His cov'nant made, Making us heirs of His kingdom. 6 Here stands the font before our eyes, Telling how God did receive us; Th'altar recalls Christ's sacrifice And what His table doth give us; Here sounds the Word that doth proclaim Christ yesterday, today, the same, Yea, and for aye our Redeemer. 7 Grant then, O God, where'er men roam, That, when the church-bells are ringing, Many in Jesus' faith may come Where He His message is bringing: "I know mine own, mine own know me, Ye, not the world, my face shall see; My peace I leave with you, Amen."

By Grace I'm Saved

Author: C. L Scheidt, 1709-61 Hymnal: ELH1996 #226 (1996) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 First Line: By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless Lyrics: 1 By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless; My soul, believe and doubt it not. Why stagger at this word of promise? Hath Scripture ever falsehood taught? Nay; then this word must true remain; By grace thou, too, shalt heav'n obtain. 2 By grace! None dare lay claim to merit; Our works and conduct have no worth. God in His love sent our Redeemer, Christ Jesus, to this sinful earth; His death did for our sins atone, And we are saved by grace alone. 3 By grace! O mark this word of promise When thou art by thy sins opprest, When Satan plagues thy troubled conscience, And when thy heart is seeking rest. What reason cannot comprehend God by His grace to thee doth send. 4 By grace God's Son, our only Savior, Came down to earth to bear our sin. Was it because of thine own merit That Jesus died thy soul to win? Nay, it was grace, and grace alone, That brought Him from His heav'nly throne. 5 By grace! This ground of faith is certain; So long as God is true, it stands. What saints have penned by inspiration, What in His Word our God commands, What our whole faith must rest upon, Is Grace alone, grace in His Son. 6 By grace! But think not, thou who livest Securely on in godless ways, That thou--though all are called--recevest The promised rest that wakes our praise. No one will find in heav'n a place Who loves to sin and scorns God's grace. 7 By grace! They who have heard this sentence Must bid hypocrisy farewell; For only after true repentance The soul what grace imports can tell: To sin God's grace a trifle seems, To faith it bright with glory beams. 8 By grace to timid hearts that tremble, In tribulation's furnace tried-- By grace, despite all fear and trouble, The Father's heart is open wide. Where could I help and strength secure If grace were not my anchor sure? 9 By grace! On this I'll rest when dying; In Jesus' promise I rejoice; For though I know my heart's condition, I also know my Savior's voice. My heart is glad, all grief has flown Since I am saved by grace alone. 10 By grace! Sin, death, and Satan hearken! I bear my flag of faith in hand And pass--for doubts my joy can't darken-- The Red Sea to the Promised Land. I cling to what my Savior taught And trust it, whether felt or not.

Baptized into Thy Name Most Holy

Author: J. J. Rambach, 1693-1735; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: ELH1996 #242 (1996) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Baptized into Thy name most holy, O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I claim a place, though weak and lowly, Among Thy seed, Thy chosen host. Buried with Christ and dead to sin, Thy Spirit now shall live within. 2 My loving Father, Thou dost take me To be henceforth Thy child and heir; My faithful Savior, Thou dost make me The fruit of all Thy sorrows share. Thou, Holy Ghost, wilt comfort me When darkest clouds around I see. 3 And I have vowed to love and fear Thee And to obey Thee, Lord, alone; Because the Holy Ghost did move me, I dared to pledge myself Thine own, Renouncing sin to keep the faith And war with evil unto death. 4 My faithful God, Thou failest never, Thy covenant surely will abide; O cast me not away forever Should I transgress it on my side! Though I have oft my soul defiled, Do Thou forgive, restore, Thy child. 5 Yea, all I am and love most dearly I offer now, O Lord, to Thee; O let me make my vows sincerely And help me Thine own child to be! Let naught within me, naught I own, Serve any will but Thine alone. 6 Depart, depart, thou prince of darkness! No more by thee I'll be enticed. Here is indeed a tarnished conscience, But sprinkled with the blood of Christ. Away, vain world! O sin, away! Lo, I renounce you all this day. 7 And never let my purpose falter, O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, But keep me faithful to Thine altar Till Thou shalt call me from my post. So unto Thee I live and die And praise Thee evermore on high. Topics: Baptism of Jesus Languages: English Tune Title: O DASS ICH TAUSEND ZUNGEN HÄTTE

Beneath the Cross of Jesus Kneeling

Author: H. Petursson, 1614-74 ; C. V. Pilcher, 1879-1960 Hymnal: ELH1996 #288 (1996) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus kneeling Dawns on my soul the endless day; There, deeper than all tides of feeling, Doth God His boundless grace display; Thence flow the mystic heaing waves; There all my stains the Savior laves. 2 God wrought for man, His love forth-showing, When Moses smote the rock of old; And, lo, through Israel's camp on-flowing, Broke forth the longed-for flood, and rolled, New strength, new joy, new life bestowed, On lips that quaffed it, pure and cold. 3 God wrought for man, mankind redeeming, When Christ was pierc'd by Roman spear, And, o'er the thirsty world down-streaming, Forth gushed a fountain, cool and clear, Till souls, those blessed waters near, Forgot in joy sin's desert drear. 4 Beside that well for aye abiding, New strength, new joy, new life I gain; Within that cleft securely hiding, No care can harm, no sorrow stain; Here rests the blissful soul serene, Here faith the healing draft can glean. 5 Lord, let my heart, this gift receiving, Sing one glad anthem to Thy praise; And may the stream, Thy pierc'd heart leaving, Refresh and heal me all my days: Thus by Thy blood my life restored, Eternal thans to Thee, O Lord.
