Where is the Friend?

Author: Johan Olof Wallin, 1779-1839 Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: Where is the Friend for whom I'm ever yearning? Lyrics: 1 Where is the Friend for whom I'm ever yearning? My longing grows when day to night is turning; And though I find Him not as day recedeth, My heart still pleadeth. 2 I know He's there in every force and power, Where waves the harvest and where blooms the flower; I'm ever in my breath and sighs so burning, His love discerning. 3 When summer winds blow gently, then I hear Him; Where sing the birds, where rush the streams I'm near Him; But better far when in my heart He blesses Me with caresses. 4 And yet to hide Him oft a cloud prevaileth; My prayer can reach Him, but my vision faileth. Would I could see His face and heart so loving, And cease my roving. 5 Oh, where such beauty is itself revealing In all that lives, through all creation stealing, What must the source be whence it comes, the Giver! Beauty forever. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: HERZLIEBSTER JESU, WAS HAST DU VERBROCHEN

When The Fierce North Wind

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 31 hymnals First Line: When the fierce north wind with his airy forces Lyrics: 1 When the fierce north wind with his airy forces Rears up the Baltic to a foaming fury; And flame of lightning, with a storm of hail comes Rushing amain down. 2 How the poor sailors stand amazed and tremble! While the hoarse thunder, like a bloody trumpet, Roars a loud onset to the gaping water Quick to devour them. 3 Such shall the noise be, and the wild disorder, If things eternal may be like these earthly; Such the dire terror when the great archangel Shakes all creation. 4 Tears the strong pillars of the vault of Heaven, Breaks up old marble, the repose of princes; See the graves open, and the bones arising, Flames all around them! 5 Hark, the shrill outcries of the guilty wretches! Lively bright horror, and amazing anguish; Stare through their eyelids, while the living worm lies Gnawing within them. 6 Thoughts, like old vultures, prey upon their heart strings, And the smart twinges, when their eye beholds the Lofty Judge frowning, and a flood of vengeance Rolling afore Him. 7 Hopeless immortals! how they scream and shiver While devils push them to the pit wide yawning, Hideous and gloomy, to receive them headlong Down to the center. 8 Stop here, my fancy: all away, ye horrid Doleful ideas, come, now arise to Jesus; How he sits Godlike! And the saints around Him Throned, yet adoring! 9 O may I sit there when He comes triumphant, Dooming the nations! Then ascend to glory, While our hosannas all along the passage Shout the Redeemer.

What Law, Beloved Jesu

Author: Johann Heerman; Arthur T. Russell Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: What law, beloved Jesu, hast Thou broken? Lyrics: 1 What law, belovèd Jesu, hast Thou broken? Why have Thy foes such cruel judgment spoken? What is Thy crime? for what do they disdain Thee? Why thus arraign Thee? 2 What laid on Thee the griefs Thy soul endurèd? Ah! Lord, my guilt Thy stripes and wounds procurèd; My sad desert, whose sins my God have grievèd, Thou has receivèd. 3 How great, how wonderful is this correction, The Shepherd’s death becomes His sheep’s protection! The servant’s sin to Heav’n for vengeance crieth; His good Lord dieth! 4 To reach Thy grace in vain all thought ascendeth; Above my praise Thy mercy far exendeth! Thy deeds of love surpass our utmost measure Of work and treasure.

Turn, Lord, Thy wrath away, in mercy spare us!

Author: G. Thymus Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Turn, Lord, Thy wrath away, in mercy spare us! Lay down Thy rod and let Thy love upbear us! Hear us poor sinners, lo, sin hath undone us, Have mercy on us! 2 For if Thou shouldst, O Lord, in anger smite us, And for our sins with righteous meed requite us, Then we would perish, in our lost condition Doomed to perdition. 3 O Lord, we pray Thee, grant to us remission! Pardon our sins, we mourn them with contrition, Thou who desirest not the sinner's dying, Grace art supplying. 4 Our frame remember, Thou who life bestowest, We are but dust, this thou, O Father, knowest, Subject to death we are from life's beginning, For we are sinning. 5 Look to Thy Son's most bitter death and passion, Who on the cross did purchase our salvation, When from His wounds His blood was freely streaming, The world redeeming. 6 Therefore, O Father, through Thy dear Son's merit, Spare us and let us grace through Him inherit, That we in heaven with Thee, of life the giver, May live forever.
