Thou, Jesus Christ, Didst Man Become

Author: Olaus Petri, 1497-1552 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou, Jesus Christ, didst man become From death us to deliver; Thy pitying eye beheld our doom, That we were lost forever; Thou gavest hope in direst need, When death and hell with gaping greed Were ready to devour us. 2 Thou couldst not bear that Satan's might Had in its grasp enslaved us: In pity thou didst for us fight, And hast in mercy saved us. From heaven Thou cam'st for our release, To purchase our eternal peace, By bitter death and suffering. 3 And Thou hast taught us in Thy Word That faith shall life inherit, For Thou art merciful, O Lord, And sav'st us by Thy merit, If we but simply do believe That all Thy children shall receive The blessings Thou hast promised. 4 Our brother Thou art now become-- An honor beyond measure! Thou wouldst our life with mercy crown, And give us richest treasure. The world's contempt we need not fear, God's Son is now our brother dear: What power can now destroy us? 5 All praise to Thee eternally, For all Thy gracious favor; We are God's children now with Thee, Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour! Well may we one and all rejoice, And praise our God with heart and voice; He is our gracious Father. Topics: Advent Used With Tune: AUS TIEFER NOTH SCHREI ICH ZU DIR

Herr, der du vormals hast dein Land

Author: Paul Gerhardt Appears in 44 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Herr, der du vormals hast dein Land mit Gnaden angeblikket und des gefangnen Volkes Band gelöst und es erquicket, der du die Sünd und Missetat, die es zuvor begangen hat, hast väterlich verziehen: 2 willst du, o Vater, uns denn nicht nun einmal wieder laben? Und sollen wir an deinem Licht nicht wieder Freude haben? Ach gieß aus deines Himmels Haus, Herr, deine Güt und Segen aus auf uns und unsre Häuser! 3 Ach, daß ich hören sollt das Wort erschallen bald auf Erden, daß Friede sollt an allem Ort, wo Christen wohnen, werden! Ach, daß uns doch Gott sagte zu des Krieges Schluß, der Waffen Ruh und alles Unglücks Ende! 4 Ach, daß doch diese böse Zeit bald wiche guten Tagen, damit wir in dem großen Leid nicht möchten ganz verzagen. Doch ist ja Gottes Hilfe nah, und seine Gnade stehet da all denen, die ihn fürchten. 5 Wenn wir nur fromm sind, wird sich Gott schon wieder zu uns wenden, den Krieg und alle andre Not nach Wunsch und also enden, daß seine Ehr in unserm Land und allenthalben werd erkannt, ja stetig bei uns wohne. 6 Die Güt und Treue werden schön einander grüßen müssen; Gerechtigkeit wird einhergehn, und Friede wird sie küssen; die Treue wird mit Lust und Freud auf Erden blühn, Gerechtigkeit wird von dem Himmel schauen. 7 Der Herr wird uns viel Gutes tun, das Land wird Früchte geben, und die in seinem Schoße ruhn, die werden davon leben; Gerechtigkeit wird dennoch stehn und stets in vollem Schwange gehn zur Ehre seines Namens.

When my last hour is close at hand

Author: Nicolaus Herman; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand, And I must hence betake me, Do Thou, Lord Jesus, by me stand, Nor let Thine aid forsake me; To Thy blest hands I now commend My soul, at this my earthly end, And Thou wilt safely keep it. 2 My sins, dear Lord, disturb me sore, My conscience cannot slumber; But I will cleave to Thee the more, Though they the sands outnumber; I will remember Thou didst die, Will think on Thy most bitter cry; Thy sufferings shall uphold me. 3 That was graft into the Vine, Hence will I comfort borrow; For Thou wilt surely keep me Thine Through fear, and pain, and sorrow; Yea, though I die, I die to Thee: For Thou through death didst win for me The right to life eternal. 4 Since Thou didst leave the grave again, It cannot be my dwelling: Thou art in heaven, this soothes my pain, All fear of death dispelling; For Thou wilt have me where Thou art, And so with joy can I depart, To be with Thee forever. 5 To Thee I now stretch out mine arms, And gladly hence betake me; I sleep at peace from all alarms, No human voice can wake me. But Christ is with me through the strife, And He will bear me into life, And open heaven before me.

Out of the Deeps of dark Distress

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: I. Out of the Deeps of dark Distress, The Deeps of Desperation, I cry to Thee, my God, for Grace, For Love and for Salvation. Father Almighty, should thine Eye Be strict to mark Iniquity, Oh! who could stand before Thee. II. But (Praise eternal to thy Name) Thou hast a Throne erected, A Glorious Throne of Grace, where Man Was never yet rejected. For Mercy is with Thee, our God; Thy Son has sealed with his Blood Our Pardon and Salvation. III. In Thee alone I put my Trust, Disclaiming all Self-Merit. O, Mighty, Merciful and Just, Thee I adore in Spirit. To thy blest Word full Trust I give: 'Tis my Support while yet I live; And will support me dying. IV. With more Impatience far than Those That languish for the Morning, I languish till Thou shalt disclose Thy Love to me returning. Ye Sons of ISRAEL, wait the Day; Wait till th' Almighty shall display His Mercy and his Blessing. V. On's Mercy-Seat he issues out, For Sins, on Sins, Remission: There All's forgiven and forgot; For CHRIST makes Intercession. He turns our Feet from sinful Ways. Oh, endless is his Love and Praise. By Him is ISRAEL saved. Topics: Repentance Scripture: Psalm 130 Used With Tune: [Out of the Deeps of dark Distress]
