Forsake me not, my God
Author: Solomon Frank, d. 1725; Unknown Meter: 6.7 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forsake me not, my God,
Thou God of my salvation!
Give me thy light, to be
My sure illumination.
My soul to folly turns,
Seeking she knows not what:
O lead her to Thyself;
My God, forsake me not!
2 Forsake me not, my god!
Take not Thy Spirit from me,
And suffer not the might
Of sin to overcome me.
A father pitieth
The children be begot;
My Father, pity me!
My God, forsake me not!
3 Forsake me not, my God,
Thou God of life and power!
Enliven, strengthen me,
In every evil hour:
And when the sinful fire
Within my heart is hot,
Be not Thou far from me:
My God, forsake me not!
4 Forsake me not, my God!
Uphold me in my going,
That evermore I may
Please Thee in all well-doing;
And that Thy will, O Lord,
May never be forgot
In all my works and ways:
My God, forsake me not!
5 Forsake me not, my God!
I would be Thine for ever:
Confirm me mightily
In every right endeavor:
And when my hour is come,
Cleansed from all stain and spot
Of sin, receive my soul:
My God, forsake me not! Topics: The Christian Life Trust in Christ and Redemption; Sundays in Lent Used With Tune: O GOTT, DU FROMMER GOTT

Author: Salomo Franck; Henry Eyler Jacobs Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Forsake me not, my God,
Thy gracious hand extend me!
O Father, lead Thy child;
Where'er I go, defend me!
My steps are turned towards home;
Lighten the darksome road:
My Guide, my Guard, my All;
Forsake me not, my God!
2 Forsake me not, my God!
Restrain, confirm, direct me,
Control my tottering feet,
From sinful falls protect me;
The Holy Spirit grant;
And, 'neath the heaviest load,
Be Thou my Strength and Stay:
Forsake me not, my God!
3 Forsake me not, my God!
In every trying hour,
O King of kings, be nigh
With Thy resistless power!
Against the tempter's arts,
Thy mighty aid afford,
That I may never yield;
Forsake me not, my God!
4 Forsake me not, my God!
Help me, Thy Word believing,
To keep through life Thy faith,
In death Thy crown receiving.
I long to see Thy face,
To dwell in Thine abode,
To know Thee as Thou art;
Forsake me not, my God!
Amen.

Where is your God they say
My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Author: Jane Borthwick; Benjamin Schmolk, d. 1737 Appears in 612 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
O may Thy will be mine!
Into Thy hand of love
I would my all resign.
Through sorrow or through joy
Conduct me as Thine own,
And help me still to say,
My Lord, Thy will be done!
2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
If needy here and poor,
Give me Thy people's bread,
Their portion rich and sure.
The manna of Thy word
Let my soul feed upon;
And if all else should fail,
My Lord, Thy will be done!
3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Though seen through many a tear,
Let not my star of hope
Grow dim or disappear:
Since Thou on earth hast wept
And sorrowed oft alone,
If I must weep with Thee,
My Lord, Thy will be done!
4 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
When death itself draws nigh,
To Thy dear wounded side
I would for refuge fly.
Leaning on Thee, to go
Where Thou before hast gone:
The rest as Thou shalt please:
My Lord, thy will be done!
5 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
All shall be well for me:
Each changing future scene
I gladly trust with Thee.
Thus to my home above
I travel calmly on,
And sing, in life or death,
My Lord, Thy will be done! Topics: The Christian Life Trust Used With Tune: O GOTT, DU FROMMER GOTT

That solid rock, Thy name.

Dispelling all our sadness,
In hallowed temple halls
Thy sacred echo rings,
While Heaven’s ransomed host
Thy praise in glory sings. Used With Tune: FROMMER

Herr Jesu, Der Du Selbst
Author: Eberhard L. Fischer Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Herr Jesu, der du selbst
Von Gott als Lehrer kommen
Und, was du aus dem Schoss
Des Vaters hast genommen,
Den rechten Weg zu Gott
Mit Wort und Werk gelehrt,
Sei für dein Predigtamt
Gelobt von deiner Herd’!
2 Du bist zwar in die Höh’
Zum Vater aufgefahren,
Doch gibst du noch der Welt
Dein Wort mit grossen Scharen
Und baust durch diesen Dienst
Die Kirche, deinen Leib,
Dass er im Glauben wachs’
Und fest ans Ende bleib’.
3 Hab’ Dank für dieses Amt,
Durch das man dich selbst höret,
Das uns den Weg zu Gott
Und die Versöhnung lehret,
Durchs Evangelium
Ein Häuflein in der Welt
Berufet, sammelt, stärkt,
Lehrt, tröstet und erhält!
4 Erhalt uns diesen Dienst
Bis an das End’ der Erden,
Und weil die Ernte gross,
Gross’ Arbeit und Beschwerden,
Send selbst Arbeiter aus
Und mach sie klug und treu,
Dass Feld und Sä’mann gut,
Die Ernte reichlich sei!
5 Die du durch deinen Ruf
Der Kirche hast gegeben,
Erhalt bei reiner Lehr’
Und einem heil’gen Leben!
Leg deinen Geist ins Herz,
Das Wort in ihren Mund!
Was jeder reden soll,
Das gib du ihm zur Stund’!
6 Ach segne all dein Wort
Mit Kraft an unsern Seelen!
Lass deinen Schäflein nie
An guter Weid’ es fehlen;
Such das verirrte selbst,
Bind das verwund’te zu,
Das schlafende weck auf,
Das müde bring zur Ruh’!
7 Bewahr vor Ketzerei,
Vor Menschenlehr’ und Dünkel!
Lehr uns nach deiner Art
Im Tempel, nicht im Winkel!
Behüt vor Ärgernis,
Vor Spaltung, die uns trennt;
Erhalte rein und ganz
Dein Wort und Sakrament!
8 Bring, was noch draussen ist,
Zu deiner kleinen Herde!
Was drinnen ist, erhalt,
Dass es gestärket werde!
Dring durch mit deinem Wort,
Bis einstens Hirt und Herd’
Im Glauben, Herr, an dich
Zusammen selig werd’! Used With Tune: FROMMER Text Sources: Württemberger Landes-Gesangbuch, 1741

O blessed Babe divine
Author: F. J. Burmeister Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O blessed Babe divine,
What offerings shall we give Thee?
The gold of faith be Thine:
For we will still believe Thee.
O fill our eager hearts
With Thy refreshing grace,
And make them fit to be
Thy chosen dwelling-place.
2 Let frankincense aspire,
Pure sighs of sweetest savor,
Which pine with fond desire'
To find Thy gracious favor.
O make them purer yet,
And send Thy Spirit down,
The altar of our hearts
With holy fire to crown.
3 And myrrh, too, we prepare,
Our bitter tribulation,
Such grief as Thou didst bear
For us and our salvation.
Be strength and courage ours
In toll and tears and pain,
With Thee to wear the yoke,
The cross with Thee sustain.
4 Lo, all of ours is Thine,
Each hope and thought and feeling:
Come, blessed Babe divine,
Thyself in us revealing.
To Thee, and God in Thee,
Our dearest wishes tend:
O make us thine and His
Through ages without end. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany; The Church Year Epiphany Used With Tune: [O blessed Babe divine]

Your gracious presence lend me;
Lord, lead Your helpless child;
Your Holy Spirit send me
That I my course may run.
O be my light, my lot,
My staff, my rock, my shield--
O God, forsake me not!
2 O God, forsake me not!
Take not Your Spirit from me;
Do not permit the might
Of sin to overcome me.
Increase my feeble faith,
Which You alone have wrought.
O be my strength and pow'r--
O God, forsake me not!
3 O God, forsake me not!
Lord, hear my supplication!
In ev'ry evil hour
Help me resist temptation;
And when the prince of hell
My conscience seeks to blot,
Be then not far from me--
O God, forsake me not!
4 O God, forsake me not!
Lord, I am Yours forever.
O keep me strong in faith
That I may leave You never.
Grant me a blessed end
When my good fight is fought;
Help me in life and death--
O God, forsake me not!
