O God, Thou Faithful God

Author: J. Heermann, 1585-1647; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #470 (1996) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God, Thou fountain ever flowing, Without whom nothing is, All perfect gifts bestowing; A pure and healthy frame O give me, and within A conscience free from blame, A soul unhurt by sin. 2 And grant me, Lord, to do With ready heart and willing, Whate'er Thou shalt command, My calling here fulfilling; To do it when I ought, With all my might, and bless The work I thus have wrought, And crown it with success. 3 And let me promise naught But I can keep it truly, Abstain from idle words, And guard my lips still duly; And grant, when in my place I must and ought to speak, My words due pow'r and grace; Nor let me wound the weak. 4 If dangers gather round, Still keep me calm and fearless; Help me to bear the cross When life is dark and cheerless; To overcome my foe With words and actions kind: When counsel I would know, Good counsel let me find. 5 And let me be with all In peace and friendship living, As far as Christians may; And if Thou aught art giving Of wealth and honors fair, O this refuse me not, That naught be mingled there Of goods unjustly got. 6 And if a longer life Be here on earth decreed me, And Thou through many a strife To age at last wilt lead me, Thy patience on me shed. Avert all sin and shame And crown my aged head With pure untarnished fame. 7 Let nothing that may chance Me from my Savior sever; And, dying with Him, take My soul to Thee for ever; And let my body have A little space to sleep Beside my fathers' grave, And friends that o'er it weep. 8 And when the end is come And all the dead are waking, O reach me down Thy hand, Thyself my slumbers breaking; Then let me hear Thy voice, And change this earthly frame, And bid me aye rejoice With those who love Thy name.

Herr Jesu, Der Du Selbst

Author: Eberhard L. Fischer Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13510 Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 Herr Jesu, der du selbst Von Gott als Lehrer kommen Und, was du aus dem Schoss Des Vaters hast genommen, Den rechten Weg zu Gott Mit Wort und Werk gelehrt, Sei für dein Predigtamt Gelobt von deiner Herd’! 2 Du bist zwar in die Höh’ Zum Vater aufgefahren, Doch gibst du noch der Welt Dein Wort mit grossen Scharen Und baust durch diesen Dienst Die Kirche, deinen Leib, Dass er im Glauben wachs’ Und fest ans Ende bleib’. 3 Hab’ Dank für dieses Amt, Durch das man dich selbst höret, Das uns den Weg zu Gott Und die Versöhnung lehret, Durchs Evangelium Ein Häuflein in der Welt Berufet, sammelt, stärkt, Lehrt, tröstet und erhält! 4 Erhalt uns diesen Dienst Bis an das End’ der Erden, Und weil die Ernte gross, Gross’ Arbeit und Beschwerden, Send selbst Arbeiter aus Und mach sie klug und treu, Dass Feld und Sä’mann gut, Die Ernte reichlich sei! 5 Die du durch deinen Ruf Der Kirche hast gegeben, Erhalt bei reiner Lehr’ Und einem heil’gen Leben! Leg deinen Geist ins Herz, Das Wort in ihren Mund! Was jeder reden soll, Das gib du ihm zur Stund’! 6 Ach segne all dein Wort Mit Kraft an unsern Seelen! Lass deinen Schäflein nie An guter Weid’ es fehlen; Such das verirrte selbst, Bind das verwund’te zu, Das schlafende weck auf, Das müde bring zur Ruh’! 7 Bewahr vor Ketzerei, Vor Menschenlehr’ und Dünkel! Lehr uns nach deiner Art Im Tempel, nicht im Winkel! Behüt vor Ärgernis, Vor Spaltung, die uns trennt; Erhalte rein und ganz Dein Wort und Sakrament! 8 Bring, was noch draussen ist, Zu deiner kleinen Herde! Was drinnen ist, erhalt, Dass es gestärket werde! Dring durch mit deinem Wort, Bis einstens Hirt und Herd’ Im Glauben, Herr, an dich Zusammen selig werd’! Languages: German Tune Title: FROMMER

Thy gracious presence lend me; Lead Thou Thy helpless child; Thy Holy Spirit send me That I my course may run. Be Thou my Light, my Lot, My Staff, my Rock, my Shield-- O God, forsake me not! 2 O God, forsake me not! Take not Thy Spirit from me And suffer not the might Of sin to overcome me. Increase my feeble faith, Which Thou Thyself hast wrought. Be Thou my Strength and Pow’r-- O God, forsake me not! 3 O God, forsake me not! Lord, hear my supplication! In ev'ry evil hour Help me o’ercome temptation; And when the Prince of hell My conscience seeks to blot, Be Thou not far from me-- O God, forsake me not! 4 O God, forsake me not! Thy mercy I’m addressing; O Father, God of Love, Grant me Thy heavenly blessing To do when duty calls Whate’er Thou didst allot, To do what pleaseth Thee-- O God, forsake me not! 5 O God, forsake me not! Lord, I am Thine forever. Grant me true faith in Thee; Grant that I leave Thee never. Grant me a blessed end When my good fight is fought; Help me in life and death-- O God, forsake me not! Amen.

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!

Author: Jane Borthwick; Benjamin Schmolk, d. 1737 Hymnal: Church Book #421 (1890) Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! O may Thy will be mine! Into Thy hand of love I would my all resign. Through sorrow or through joy Conduct me as Thine own, And help me still to say, My Lord, Thy will be done! 2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! If needy here and poor, Give me Thy people's bread, Their portion rich and sure. The manna of Thy word Let my soul feed upon; And if all else should fail, My Lord, Thy will be done! 3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! Though seen through many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear: Since Thou on earth hast wept And sorrowed oft alone, If I must weep with Thee, My Lord, Thy will be done! 4 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! When death itself draws nigh, To Thy dear wounded side I would for refuge fly. Leaning on Thee, to go Where Thou before hast gone: The rest as Thou shalt please: My Lord, thy will be done! 5 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! All shall be well for me: Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee. Thus to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death, My Lord, Thy will be done!

Lord Jesus, Who Art come

Author: Eberhard L. Fischer Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #485 (1941) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, who art come A Teacher sent from heaven And by both word and deed God's truth to us hast given. Thou wisely hast ordained The holy ministry That we, Thy flock, may know The way to God thro' Thee. 2 Thou hast, O Lord, returned, To God's right hand ascending; Yet Thou art in the world, Thy kingdom here extending. Thro' preaching of Thy Word In ev'ry land and clime Thy people's faith is kept Until the end of time. 3 O blessed ministry Of reconciliation, That shows the way to God And brings to us salvation! By Thine evangel pure, Lord, Thou preserv'st Thy fold, Dost call, enlighten, keep, Dost comfort and uphold. 4 Preserve this ministry While harvest-days are keeping; And since the fields are white And hands are few for reaping, Send workers forth, O Lord, The sheaves to gather in That not a soul be lost Which Thou art come to win. 5 The servants Thou hast called And to Thy Church art giving Preserve in doctrine pure And holiness of living. Thy Spirit fill their hearts, Endue their tongues with power; What they should boldly speak, Oh, give them in that hour! 6 Yea, bless Thy Word alway, Our souls forever feeding; And may we never lack A faithful shepherd's leading! Seek Thou the wandering sheep, Bind up the sore opprest, Lift up the fallen ones, And grant the weary rest. 7 Bring those into Thy fold Who still to Thee are strangers; Guard those who are within Against offense and dangers. Press onward with Thy Word Till pastor and his fold Through faith in Thee, O Christ, Thy glory shall behold. Amen.
