Lord Jesus, Who Art come

Author: Eberhard L. Fischer Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, who art come A Teacher sent from heaven And by both word and deed God's truth to us hast given. Thou wisely hast ordained The holy ministry That we, Thy flock, may know The way to God thro' Thee. 2 Thou hast, O Lord, returned, To God's right hand ascending; Yet Thou art in the world, Thy kingdom here extending. Thro' preaching of Thy Word In ev'ry land and clime Thy people's faith is kept Until the end of time. 3 O blessed ministry Of reconciliation, That shows the way to God And brings to us salvation! By Thine evangel pure, Lord, Thou preserv'st Thy fold, Dost call, enlighten, keep, Dost comfort and uphold. 4 Preserve this ministry While harvest-days are keeping; And since the fields are white And hands are few for reaping, Send workers forth, O Lord, The sheaves to gather in That not a soul be lost Which Thou art come to win. 5 The servants Thou hast called And to Thy Church art giving Preserve in doctrine pure And holiness of living. Thy Spirit fill their hearts, Endue their tongues with power; What they should boldly speak, Oh, give them in that hour! 6 Yea, bless Thy Word alway, Our souls forever feeding; And may we never lack A faithful shepherd's leading! Seek Thou the wandering sheep, Bind up the sore opprest, Lift up the fallen ones, And grant the weary rest. 7 Bring those into Thy fold Who still to Thee are strangers; Guard those who are within Against offense and dangers. Press onward with Thy Word Till pastor and his fold Through faith in Thee, O Christ, Thy glory shall behold. Amen.

The feeble flame of faith Is quickened by Thy grace; My soul to peace restored, With Thee at hand to bless. 3 My Austere, Lord, Thou art, The Fount of every blessing; If Thou be in my heart, All else am I possessing.

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!

Author: Jane Borthwick; Benjamin Schmolk, d. 1737 Appears in 627 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!

Why should we sorrow, Lord, When those we love are taken From this drear vale of tears To realms of bliss above? Hush Thou our griefs and fears, Thou Fount of boundless love. 3 When judgment trumpets wake All who in death are sleeping, To Salem's mansions take The saved in Thy love's keeping. When at Thy blest "Arise!" We greet Thee, risen King, The realms beyond the skies With endless praise shall ring. Amen.

O Thou Essential Word

Author: Laurentius Laurenti; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou Essential Word, Who wast from the beginning With God, for Thou wast God; Thou hope of all the sinning, Sent down to save our race, Most welcome, Lord, Thou art, Redeemer, Fount of grace, To this my longing heart. 2 Come, self-existent Word, And speak Thou in my spirit! The soul where Thou art heard Doth endless peace inherit. Thou Light that lightenest all, Abide through faith in me, Nor let me from Thee fall, And seek no guide but Thee. 3 Ah! what hath stirred Thy heart, What cry hath mounted thither, And reached Thy heavenly throne, And drawn Thee, Savior, hither? It was Thy wondrous love, And my most utter need, Made Thy compassions move, Stronger than death indeed. 4 Then let me give my heart To Him who loved me, wholly; And live, while here I dwell, To show His praises solely: Yes, Jesus, form anew This stony heart of mine, Make it till death still true To Thee, forever Thine. 5 Let naught be left within But what Thy hand hath planted; Root out the weeds of sin, And quell the foe who haunted My soul, and sowed the tares; From Thee comes nothing ill, O save me from his snares, Make plain my pathway still. 6 Thou art the Life, O Lord, And Thou its Light art only! Let not Thy blessed rays Still leave me dark and lonely. Star of the East, arise! Drive all my clouds away, Till earth’s dim twilight dies Into the perfect day.
