Twej opiece poruczamy

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Twej opiece poruczamy, Boże, dziatek naszych los. O twą pomoc Cię błagamy, wpój w ich umysł prawdy głos. Chrystus ich zbawieniem jest, poświęcone Mu przez chrzest, niechże w łasce Jego trwają i lepszymi wciąż się stają. 2 Tyś je od nieszczęścia bronił, Tyś ich ojcem dotąd był; życieś ich od złego chronił, Tyś im dodał zdrowia, sił. Niech i nadal dobroć Twa w swojej je opiece ma, gdyby niebezpieczeństw siła lub niedola im groziła. 3 Gdyby na nich czyhać miała zgubnych namiętności moc, gdyby ich też otaczała błędu i zdrożności noc, wedy świeć im światłem swym, aby nie wzrastał w złym, by się grzechem nie kalały, ale w cnocie zawsze trwały. 4 Daj, o Boże, niech słuchają chętnie Twej nauki słów; niech he szczerze wypełniają, strzegąc się występnych mów. Panie, Ty im stróżem bądź, wolą swą ich myśli rządź, by dla chwały Twojej żyły, przez to zaś szczęśliwe były. 5 Sprawże nam tę radość, Panie, kiedy zniósłszy ziemski znój, każdy z nas przed Tobą stanie, by mógł wyrzec: Boże mój, oto wszystkie dzieci me stawiam przed oblicze Twe, żadne z nich nie zaginione, wszystkie w Tobie są zbawione.

Thou, Whose Coming Seers And Sages

Author: Karl J. Spitta; Richard Massie Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou, whose coming seers and sages Long foretold to Israel, Hast appeared in these last ages, Jesu Christ, Emmanuel. O thou precious day of grace, Fraught with blessings to our race! None need now despair of pardon, Bowed beneath a hopeless burden. 2 Simeon longed for Thy salvation; David, wrapped with holy fire, Poured forth strains of inspiration, As he swept his royal lyre; Righteous men and gifted seers Longed for Thee in bygone years, Some in silence, some loud crying, Mingling prayers with tears and sighing. 3 God be blessèd, who hath granted In His grace to you and me, That for which so many panted— Vainly hoped to hear and see. Now God’s counsel is revealed, And the vision is unsealed; God hath heard your supplication, And is come to bring salvation. 4 Thou the Savior long expected Came to earth from His high throne, Sad He wanders and neglected, E’en received not by His own; Men permit Him to pass by Without love or sympathy; When He calls them they regard not, And sin on as though they heard not. 5 And He knocks, impelled by pity, At the house of rich and poor, Who in spite of His entreaty, Turn Him rudely from the door. They who do not see their sin Will not let the Savior in; For the whole need no physician, Satisfied with their condition. 6 Know ye Him who came to save us, By His heav’nly Father sent? All we needed freely gave us, Bare Himself our punishment. Live ye always as they ought Whom His precious blood hath bought? Are your names with those recorded Whose true love shall be rewarded? 7 Have you suffered Him to win you? Are you subject to His will? Is His kingdom formed within you? Or do you resist Him still? Whom do you ye your master call, Jesu Christ or Belial? Raise to Christ a loud hosanna! He alone is life’s true manna. 8 Joyfully we sing hosanna! Blessèd Savior, enter in; Feed us with the living manna, Cleanse our hearts from every sin. See, we open wide the door! Enter, to depart no more; Come, and let us now enthrone Thee In the hearts that long to own Thee. 9 Sin, alas! hath long compelled us Her dread bidding to obey, And, both soul and body, held us Captive with resistless sway; All our efforts have been vain To cast off her iron chain; Thou, and Thou alone, Lord Jesus, Canst from all our sins release us. 10 Take Thy kingdom, wait no longer, Since to Thee it doth belong; And He only who is stronger Can release us from the strong. Make us happy, God’s dear Son, Reap the fruit Thy love has won; Till earth’s furthest realms adore Thee, And her kings fall down before Thee. Used With Tune: WERDE MUNTER

Rygh, 1860-1942 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Speak, O Lord, your servant listens, Let your Word to me come near; New-born life and spirit give me, Let each promise still my fear. Death's dread pow'r, its inward strife, Wars against your Word of life; Fill me, Lord, with love's strong fervor That I cling to you forever! 2 Oh, what blessing to be near you And to listen to your voice; Let me ever love and hear you, Let your Word be now my choice! Many hardened sinners, Lord, Flee in terror at your Word, But to me, who know my burden, Show me now your Word of pardon! 3 Lord, your words are waters living, When my thirsting spirit pleads; Lord, your words are bread life-giving, On your words my spirit feeds. Lord, your words will be my light Through death's vale, its dreary night; Yes, they are my sword prevailing, And my cup of joy unfailing! 4 Precious Jesus, I entreat you, Let your words in me take root; Let this gift of heav'n enrich me So that I bring gen'rous fruit: Never take them from my heart Till I see you as your are, When in heav'nly bliss and glory I will meet you and adore you!

Sink not yet, my soul, to slumber

Author: Johann Rist; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sink not yet, my soul, to slumber, Wake my heart, go forth and tell All the mercies without number That this by-gone day befell; Tell how God hath kept afar All things that against me war, Hath upheld me and defended, And His grace my soul befriended. 2 Father, merciful and holy, Thee to-night I praise and bless, Who to labor true and lowly Grantest ever meet success; Many a sin and many a woe, Many a fierce and subtle foe, Hast Thou checked that once alarmed me, So that nought to-day has harm'd me, 3 E'en the twilight now hath vanished, Send Thy blessing on my sleep, Every sin and terror banished, Let my rest be calm and deep. Soul and body, mind and health, Wife and children, house and wealth, Friend and foe, the sick, the stranger, Keep Thou safe from harm and danger. 4 O Thou mighty God, now hearken To the prayer Thy child hath made; Jesus, while the night-hours darken Be Thou still my Hope, my Aid; Holy Ghost, on Thee I call, Friend and Comforter of all, Hear my earnest prayer, O hear me! Lord, Thou hearest, Thou art near me. Topics: The Catechism Evening Used With Tune: REGENSBURG (Werde munter, sein Gemüte)

Underneath Thy wings abiding, In Thy Church, O Savior dear, Let me dwell, in Thee confiding, Hold me in Thy faith and fear; Take away from me each thought That with wickedness is fraught, Tempting me to disobey Thee, Root it out, O Lord, I pray Thee. 3. Thou, earth’s greatest joy and gladness, And salvation, full and free, Let Thy presence cheer my sadness, And prepare my soul for Thee! In the hour when I depart, Touch my spirit, lips and heart, With Thy Word assure, uphold me Till the heav’nly gates enfold me. Used With Tune: WERDE MUNTER

Rouse thy self, my Soul, and gather

Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: I. Rouse thy self, my Soul, and gather All thy Senses from abroad, To adore thy Heav'nly Father, And the Goodness of thy God, For preserving Thee this Day, Chasing Satan's Host away, That their Malice and Delusion Cou'd not put Thee to Confusion. II. Blessed be thy gracious Favour, Father of Eternity! That thou'st helpt me in my Labour, And my great Necessity; That in all my Care and Grief Thou hast sent me sure Relief, And remov'd, on all Occasion, What might frustrate my Salvation. III. None of all the skill'd in Numbers, Nor the Sons of Eloquence Can express or count the Wonders Of thy gracious providence. O, thy Mercies are too great For us Mortals to repeat. Let us then adore in Spirit What's above our Sense and Merit. IV. Now this tiresome Day is finish'd, Gloomy Night draws on apace; Chearful Day Light is diminish'd, And the sun has hid his Face. Lord, endow me with thy Love, That the Instances I prove Of thy Care and thy Protection work in me a pure Subjection. V. Pardon, Lord, each sad Transgression, Whether open or unknown, With the Weight of whose Oppression I all Night in secret moan; So that Satan's fiery Dart Often pierces through my Heart, And disturbs the blest Intention Of thy Grace and thy Redemption. VI. Tho' I've stray'd and thee denied; As I willingly return, For his Sake who for me died, Let thy Wrath no longer burn; I confess the Guilt of Sin; But thy Grace can make me clean, Which exceeds, beyond Expression, All the Poison of Transgression. VII. Author of illumination, Light of Light, eternal Word, Soul and Body's Preservation I commit to thee, O Lord: My Redeemer, dwell in me, That I sleep and wake with Thee, And enjoy thy Consolation In the Night of Perturbation. VIII. Guard me from the Snares of Satan, And the Pow'r of Sin and Hell; Which raise Dreams I never thought on, And abominate to tell. Let me never lose the Sight Of thy good and gracious Light. Having thee, I can be quiet 'Midst the Furies-Storm and Riot. IX. When I close mine Eyes to slumber, And my Senses fall asleep, Let my Heart, awake, the Number Of thy mercies tell and keep. Fill me with thy sacred Love, That I dream of what's above, And keep close to Thee my Saviour Even in my Nights Behaviour. X. Grant, that under thy Protection, I enjoy a quiet Rest; Guard me from Night-Sin's Infection; Number me among the Blest; Soul and Body, Heart and Mind Keep from harm of ev'ry Kind Friends and Foes and each Relation Visit with thy new Creation. XI. Let no frightful Rumour wake me From within or from abroad; Let no Sickness overtake me; Lord, be thou my sure Abode. Fire and Water, pestilence, Death that's sudden off me fence, Lest I dye in my Transgression, And fall short of thy Possession. XII. Father, hear the Supplication Of thy poor unworthy Child. JESU! through thy Meditation, Make me truly reconcil'd. Holy Ghost, of equal Praise, I depend upon thy Grace. Sacred Three! be pleas'd to say then: Even so it shall be. AMEN!
