O Christ The Great Foundation
Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice
Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice,
With exultation springing,
And, with united heart and voice
And holy rapture singing,
Proclaim the wonders God hath done,
How His right arm the vict'ry won;
Right dearly it hath cost Him.
2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay,
Death brooded darkly o'er me,
Sin was my torment night and day,
In sin my mother bore me;
Still deeper in despair I fell,
Life had become a living hell,
So firmly sin possessed me.
3 Then God beheld my wretched state
With deep commiseration;
He thought upon His mercy great,
And willed my soul's salvation;
He turned to me a Father's heart;
Not small the cost! to heal my smart,
He gave His best and dearest.
4 He spoke to His belovèd Son:
"'Tis time to have compassion:
Then go, bright Jewel of My crown,
And bring to man salvation;
From sin and sorrow set him free,
Slay bitter death for him, that he
May live with Thee forever."
5 The Son obeyed Him cheerfully,
And born of virgin mother,
Came down upon the earth to me,
That He might be my brother:
His mighty power doth work unseen,
He came in fashion poor and mean,
And took the devil captive.
6 We thank Thee, Lord, for boundless grace,
And sing Thy praise forever,
For granting us in dire distress
Thine everlasting favor.
Both death and hell were stricken down,
When Thou didst for our sins atone,
O Jesus, blessèd Saviour.
Amen.

And opened the life-gate that all may go in.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear his voice!

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice!
Oh, come to the Father through Jesus the Son
And give him the glory -- great things he has done!

That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

Let the earth hear his voice! [Refrain]
3 Great things he has taught us, great things he has done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son,
But purer and higher and greater will be
Our joy and our wonder when Jesus we see.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear his voice! [Refrain]

Auf, hinauf zu deiner freude
Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Justification and the Resulting Peace Lyrics: 1 Auf, hinauf zu deiner freude,
Meine seele, herz und sinn!
Weg, hinweg mit deinem leide,
Hin, zu deinem Jesu hin!
Er ist dein theil:
Jesus schaffet freud und leben;
Er will deinen kummer heben:
Er schenkt dir heil.
2 Fort, nur fort, steig immer weiter
In die höh zu Jesu auf!
An, hinan, die glaubens-leiter,
Steige mit geschwindem lauf!
Gott liebt dich doch;
Er durch liebe nur bewogen,
Hat dich stets zu sich gezogen,
Und zieht dich noch.
3 Du must dich nur vest anhalten
An die starke Jesus-treu;
Laß du, laß du Gott nur walten,
Seine güt ist täglich neu;
Er meynts recht gut;
Wenn die feinde dich anfallen,
Müssen sie zurücke prallen,
Hab guten muth.
4 Geb hineine in Gottes kammer,
Die dir Jesus aufgethan;
Klag und sag ihm deinen jammer,
Schreye ihn um hülfe an;
Er steht dir bey:
Wenn dich alle menschen hassen,
Kan und will er dich nicht lassen,
Das glaube frey.
5 Schwinge dich mit ganzem herzen
Auf zu deinem Heiland hin;
Denk an seine todes-schmerzen,
Präg ih tief in deinen sinn;
Er ist dien herit,
Der nach kummer, angst und leiden,
Mit des himmels sußten freuden
Dich weiden wird.
6 Sieh' er reichet dir die krone,
Die er selber dir erwarb,
Da er unter spott und hohne
An dem cerutze für dich starb.
Zum himmel zu!
Welt und erde muß verschwinden,
Nur bey Jesu ist zu finden
Sie wahre ruh.
Auf, hinauf zu deiner freude

my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!

assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honors of your name.

and bids our sorrows cease -
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life, and health, and peace.

he sets the pris'ner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean,
his blood availed for me.

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Now I have found the sure foundation
Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 NOW I have found the sure foundation,
Where evermore my anchor grounds!
It lay there ere the world's creation,
Where else, but in my Saviour's wounds?
Foundation, which unmoved shall stay,
When earth and heaven pass away.
2 It is that mercy never ending,
Which all conception far transcends,
Of Him, who, with love's arms extending,
To wretched sinners condescends;
Whose heart with pity still doth break,
Whether we seek Him, or forsake.
3 Our ruin God has not intended,
Salvation He would fain bestow;
For this the Son to earth descended,
And then to heaven again did go;
For this so loudly evermore
He knocketh at our heart's closed door.
4 O depth of love, in which past finding,
My sins through Christ's blood disappear;
This is for wounds the safest binding,
There is no condemnation here;
For Jesus' blood through earth and skies
Forever Mercy! Mercy! cries.
5 I never will forget this crying,
In faith I'll trust it all my days,
And, when o'er all my sins I'm sighing,
I towards my Father's heart will gaze;
For there is always to be found
Free mercy without end and bound.
6 Though I be robbed of every pleasure
That soul and body can make glad,
Bereft of every earthly treasure,
Forlorn, forsaken, lone and sad:
However far His help may be,
Her mercy yet is left to me.
7 If earthly cares and want oppress me,
And cause me sorrow and regret
That things so vain can still distress me,
And give me so much trouble yet:
Though I am bowed down to the dust,
Still in His mercy I will trust.
8 If in the best of all my actions,
In works that are admired the most,
I must perceive great imperfections,
I surely have no right to boast;
Yet this sweet comfort doth abide:
In mercy only I confide.
9 Be it with me as He is willing,
Whose mercy is a boundless sea;
May He Himself my heart be stilling,
That this may ne'er forgotten be;
Then it will rest, in joy and woe,
On mercy, while it beats below.
10 On this foundation I unshrinking
Will stand, while I on earth remain;
This shall engage my acting, thinking,
While I the breath of life retain;
Then I will sing eternally,
Unfathomed Mercy, still of Thee.
Now I have found the sure foundation
