O Mighty God Of Earth And Heaven

Author: Paul E. Kretzmann Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O mighty God of earth and heaven, Whose praises are thro' endless ages sung, The saints, to whom Thy grace is given, Their voices raise the heav'nly choir among, In music far surpassing human thought, To praise salvation which Thy Son has wrought. 2 But we, who in this vale of sorrow Our way as pilgrims far from home pursue, Look forward to a bright tomorrow, When we shall see both earth and heaven new, There we shall meet our Savior face to face And ever magnify His boundless grace. 3 This lends us joy in fullest measure, While we as strangers here below must roam; Our hearts are all aglow with pleasure As we look forward to that blissful home; But still our spirit ever longs and sighs To dwell with Jesus under fairer skies. 4 What here is quite beyond our telling, And we behold but darkly through a glass, The fondest hopes within us dwelling Will there in fullest beauty come to pass. O Savior, come and take us all to Thee, That we our precious hopes fulfilled may see. Topics: The Means of Grace God Used With Tune: CRASSELIUS

Awake, Thou Spirit Bold And Daring

Author: H. Brueckner; C. H. von Bogatzky Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Awake, Thou Spirit bold and daring, Bear witness as in days of long ago. The watchmen on the walls of Zion Embolden Thou to move against the foe. May they go forth to lands beyond the sea And bring the Gentile nations, Lord, to Thee. 2 O that Thy fire might soon be kindled, O that its flames to ev'ry land might leap! O Lord, send may faithful servants Thy harvest fields thro'out the world to reap. A harvest great presents itself to view, But they who reap the harvest are so few! 3 The prayer Thy Son Himself has taught us, We offer it to Thee at His command; Behold how ev'rywhere Thy children As suppliants, O Lord, before Thee stand, With yearning hearts to make this ardent plea; So hear us, Lord, and say, Thus shall it be! 4 Send hosts of men to preach the Gospel, In spirit strong, in perils unafraid; Make haste to help us in our weakness, And Satan's dark domain with might invade. The kingdoms of the earth for Thee reclaim, That ev'ry tongue may bless Thy holy name. Topics: The Means of Grace Missions Used With Tune: CRASSELIUS

To Thee, O Lord, Will I Sing Praises

Author: Bartholomaeus Crasselius Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To Thee, O Lord, will I sing praises, For where is found a glorious God like Thee? To Thee my heart its anthem raises, O give Thy quick'ning Spirit's aid to me, That I may sing in Jesus' name alone, In strains which find acceptance at Thy throne. 2 O Father, draw me to the Savior, That He in turn may draw me unto Thee; Thy Spirit make my heart His dwelling And deign within my rule and guide to be, That I Thy wondrous peace may taste and feel As from my heart to Thee glad anthems peal. 3 Grant me, O Lord, this priceless treasure, Then shall my humble worship grateful be; Then beautiful will be the measure With which in heart and truth I worship Thee; Then near to Thee Thy Spirit shall me bring, And I a worthy psalm of praise shall sing. 4 For He can plead my cause with sighings That far surpass all pow'r of speech to tell; He teaches me to pray with fervor And witness bears that I beyond shall dwell, Thy child and heir with Christ, thro' whom I say: O Abba, Father, hear me when I pray. 5 What Thy good Spirit bids me utter Is truly with Thy will in sweet accord; Thou nevermore wilt fail to grant me What I request of Thee through Christ my Lord: In His dear name I come before Thy face And take from Thee, O Father, grace for grace. 6 I pray, then, in the name of Jesus, Who ever pleads for me at Thy right hand; Thus my petitions all are granted, For Thou wilt nevermore His pleas withstand. What joy and bliss beyond compare is mine! For this, O Lord, be all the glory Thine! Topics: Praise Used With Tune: CRASSELIUS Text Sources: Tr. Composite

Author: Johann Rist; Miss Catherine Winkworth Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Help us, O Lord, behold, we enter Upon another year to-day; In Thee our hopes and thoughts we center, Renew our courage for the way: New life, new strength, new happiness We ask of Thee, O hear and bless! 2 May every plan and undertaking This year be all begun with Thee; When I am sleeping or am waking, Still let me know Thou art with me; Abroad do Thou my footsteps guide, At home be ever at my side. 3 Be this a time of grace and pardon; Thy rod I take with willing mind, But suffer naught my heart to harden, And let me now Thy mercy find; In Thee alone, my God, I live, Thou only canst my sins forgive. 4 And may this year to me be holy; Thy grace so fill my every thought, That all my life be pure and lowly And truthful as a Christian's ought; So make me, while yet dwelling here, Faithful and blest from year to year. 5 Jesus, be with me and direct me; Jesus, my plans and hopes inspire; Jesus, from tempting thoughts protect me; Jesus, be all my heart's desire; Jesus, be in my thoughts all day, Nor suffer me to fall away. 6 Grant, Lord, that when the year is over, That it for me in peace it close; In all things care for me, and cover My head in time of fear and woes; So may I, when my years are gone, Appear with joy before Thy throne. Amen.

Baptized into Thy Name Most Holy

Author: Johann Jacob Rambach, 1693-1735 Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 46 hymnals 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 and 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 Saviour, 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 fear and love Thee, And to obey Thee, Lord, alone; I felt Thy Holy Spirit move me, And freely pledged myself Thine own. Renouncing sin to keep the faith, And war with evil unto death. 4 My faithful God, Thou failest never, Thy covenant will e'er abide; Oh, cast me not away forever, Should I transgress it on my side; If I have sore my soul defiled, Yet still forgive, restore Thy child. 5 Yea, all I am, and love most dearly,-- To Thee anew I give the whole; Oh, let me make my vows sincerely, Take full possession of my soul, Let naught within me, naught I own, Serve any will but Thine alone. 6 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.
