When A Prophet Sings of Justice
Comfort, Comfort Ye My People
Author: Johannes Olearius; Miss Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #3 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye my people,
Speak ye peace, thus saith our God;
Comfort those who sit in darkness,
Mourning 'neath their sorrows' load;
Speak ye to Jerusalem
Of the peace that waits for them;
Tell her that her sins I cover,
And her warfare now is over.
2 For the herald's voice is crying
In the desert far and near,
Bidding all men to repentance,
Since the kingdom now is here.
O that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way!
Let the valleys rise to meet Him,
And the hills bow down to greet Him.
3 Make ye straight what long was crooked,
Make the rougher places plain:
Let your hearts be true and humble,
As befits His holy reign,
For the glory of the Lord
Now o'er earth is shed abroad,
And all flesh shall see the token
That His Word is never broken.

Of the Circumcision of Christ
Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs #10 (1867) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 First Line: Why should they such pain e'er give Thee Lyrics:
Why should they such pain e’er give Thee,
Why inflict such cruel smart?
Jesus, why should they so grieve Thee,
Who’re uncircumcis’d in heart,
By this rite? Though Thou art free
From the law’s yoke utterly,
Yet man’s nature art Thou wearing,
But no sin its beauty marring.
For Thyself Thou dost not bear it,
Of the Cov’nant Thou art Head;
’Tis our debts that make Thee share it,
That like grievous load of lead
Lie upon us, and Thy heart
Pierce e’en to the inmost part;
These Thou bearest to deliver
Us, who could have paid them never.
Let your hearts be glad, ye debtors!
Let the world rejoice to-day,
For the Son of God our fetters
Breaks, the price begins to pay.
This day is the Law fulfill’d,
This day is God’s anger still’d,
Whom to death law did deliver,
God’s Son makes God’s heirs for ever.
We this grace enough can never
Own, nor for it grateful be;
Heart and mouth, O Saviour! ever
Shall exalt and honour Thee!
We shall praise with all our pow’r
All Thy goodness, Thee adore,
While in weakness here we wander,
And Thy praise re-echo yonder!

Speak of peace," so says our God.

Groaning from their sorrows' load.
Speak to all Jerusalem
Of the peace that waits for them;
Tell them that their sins I cover,
That their warfare now is over."

Into ever-springing gladness.

Let Thy Spirit dwell with mine;

Thee to follow and obey;
E'er to do Thy will and fear Thee,
And rejoice to know and hear Thee.
2 Underneath Thy wings abiding,
In Thy Church, O Savior dear,
Let me dwell, in Thee confiding,
Hold me in Thy faith and fear;
Take away from me each thought
That with wickedness is fraught,
Tempting me to disobey Thee,
Root it out, O Lord, I pray Thee.
3 Thou, earth's greatest joy and gladness,
And salvation, full and free,
Let Thy presence cheer my sadness,
And prepare my soul for Thee!
In the hour when I depart,
Touch my spirit, lips and heart,
With Thy word assure, uphold me
Till the heav'nly gates enfold me. Topics: Invocation Languages: English Tune Title: WERDE MUNTER

Consolation for Penitence
Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs #19 (1867) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 First Line: Let not such a thought e'er pain thee Lyrics:
Let not such a thought e’er pain thee,
As that thou art cast away,
But within God’s word restrain thee,
That far otherwise doth say.
E’en though thou unrighteous art,
True and faithful is God’s heart.
Hast thou death deserv’d for ever?
God’s appeas’d, despond thou never!
Thou art, as is every other,
Tainted by the poison, sin,
That the serpent, and our father,
Adam, by the fall brought in.
But if thou God’s voice dost hear,
“Turn to me, do good,” ne’er fear,
Be of good cheer, He thy yearning
Will regard, thy pray’r ne’er spurning.
He is not a bear nor lion
Thirsting only for thy blood,
Faithful is thy God in Zion,
Gentle ever is His mood.
God aye as a Father feels,
He’s afflicted by our ills,
Our misfortune sorrow gives Him,
And our dying ever grieves Him.
“Truly,” saith He, “as I’m living,
I the death of none desire,
But that men themselves upgiving,
May be rescu’d from sin’s mire.”
When a prodigal returns,
God’s heart then with rapture burns,
Wills that not the least one even
Ever from His flock be driven.
Shepherd was so faithful never,
Seeking sheep that go astray;
Couldest thou God’s heart see ever,
How He cares for them alway,
How it thirsts and sighs and burns
After him who from Him turns,
From His people’s midst doth wander,
Love would make thee weep and ponder.
God the good not only loveth
Who in His house ever dwell,
But His heart compassion moveth
Tow’rds those whom the prince of hell
Hath enslav’d, the cruel foe
Who men’s hearts with hate to glow
Makes ’gainst Him, who when He ever
Moves His foot, can make earth quiver.
Deep His love is and enduring,
His desire is ever great,
He is calling and alluring
Us to enter heav’n’s wide gate.
When they come, whoe’er they be,
Seeking now that liberty
From the devil’s fangs be given,
Glad are all the hosts of heaven.
God and all on high who’re dwelling,
’Fore whom heav’n must hush its voice,
When their Maker’s praise forth-telling,
O’er our penitence rejoice;
But what has been done amiss
Cover’d now and buried is,
All offence to Him we’ve given,
All, yea all, is now forgiven.
From no lake so much is gushing,
No depth is so deep at all,
With such force no stream is rushing,
All compar’d with God is small;
Nought is like His grace so great,
That remits our mighty debt,
That He ever throweth over
All our lives e’en as a cover.
Soul, why art thou sad and dreary?
Rest now and contented be!
Why wilt thou thyself so weary
When there is no need for thee?
Though thy sins appear to thee
Like a vast and shoreless sea,
If thou with God’s heart compare them,
’Twill a trifle seem to bear them.
Could we myriad worlds discover
All sunk in apostacy,
Had the sins there o’er and over
Every one been done by thee,
Oh! still they were less by far
Than the light of grace so clear
Could on earth extinguish ever,
God from greater could deliver.
Of such wondrous love and favour
Open wide the door to me;
Ey’rywhere and aye, my Saviour,
Tasted be Thy grace by me.
Love me, Lord! and let me be
Nearer ever drawn to Thee,
That I may embrace and love Thee,
Never more to anger move Thee!
