Book of books, our people's strength
Author: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Book of books, our people's strength,
statesman's, teacher's, hero's treasure,
bringing freedom, spreading truth,
shedding light that none can measure:
wisdom comes to those who know thee,
all the best we have we owe thee.
2 Thank we those who toiled in thought,
many diverse scrolls completing,
poets, prophets, scholars, saints,
each a word from God repeating;
till they came, who told the story
of the Word, and showed his glory.
3 Praise we God, who hath inspired
those whose wisdom still directs us;
praise him for the Word made flesh,
for the Sprit which protects us.
Light of knowledge, ever burning,
shed on us thy deathless learning.

Jesus, Savior, Wondrous Mild
Author: H. Brueckner; Benj. Schmolk Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Jesus, Savior, wondrous mild,
On Thy tender grace relying,
We present this infant child,
With Thy plain behest complying:
Children shall to me be given;
Theirs the kingdom is of heaven.
2. Nor should we Thy warning scorn,
That by water and the Spirit
Man must needs be newly born
If his soul would fain inherit,
As Thy kingdom's sacred treasure,
Grace and peace in fullest measure.
3. So we hasten, Lord, to Thee,
In our arms this infant bearing;
Pledged to Thee O let it be,
All Thy tender mercies sharing;
Own it as Thy child forever;
Naught from Thee its soul shall sever.
4. Now upon Thy heart we lay
That which from the heart proceeded;
Hear our sighings, Lord, we pray,
Let our deep desires be heeded;
Write the name that we have given
In the book of life in heaven. Topics: The Means of Grace The Sarraments-Holy Baptism Used With Tune: NUREMBERG

And for us Salvation won;

Lest we be by sin undone.

Jesus Lives! The Broken Tomb
Author: D. G. Ristad; Johan Nordahl Brun, 1745-1816 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus lives! The broken tomb
Tells the resurrection story.
Joy has now dispelled the gloom;
Sealed His passion is with glory.
Lightning gleams, and mountains shiver,
He was dead, but lives forever.
2 I have won; the triumph's His!
Death is swallowed up in vict'ry!
Bound the Prince of Darkness is,
Free am I! O blessed myst'ry!
Mine is heaven fair and glorious,
Jesus won; I am victorious.
