Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #490 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Means of Grace Public Worship Lyrics: 1 Far from my thoughts, vain world, begone, Let my religious hours alone; Fain would my eyes my Saviour see, I wait a visit, Lord, from thee. 2 My heart grows warm with holy fire, And kindles with a pure desire: Come, my dear Jesus, from above, And feed my soul with heavenly love. 3 Bless'd Jesus, what delicious fare! How sweet thy entertainments are! Never did angels taste above Redeeming grace, and dying love. 4 Hail, great Immanuel, all divine, In thee thy Father's glories shine; Thou brightest, sweetest, fairest one, That eyes have seen, or angels known.

And bid our drooping graces live; And more that energy afford, A Saviour's death alone can give. 5 Nor let thy spreading gospel rest, Till through the world thy truth has run, Till with this bread all men be blest Who see the light or feel the sun!

When Israel through the desert pass'd

'Tis for our light and guidance given; It sheds its luster all abroad, And points the path to bliss and heaven. 3 It fills the soul with sweet delight, And quickens its inactive powers; It sets our wand'ring footsteps right, Displays thy love, and kindles ours: 4 Its promises rejoice our hearts, Its doctrines are divinely true; Knowledge and pleasure it imparts, It comforts and instructs us too. 5 Ye favor'd lands, who have this word, Ye saints, who feel its saving power, Unite your tongues to praise the Lord, And his distinguished grace adore.

Jesus Christ, our blessed Saviour

Author: Dr. M. Luther Hymnal: Hymns of the Evangelical Lutheran Church #23 (1886) Topics: The Means Of Grace Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, our blessed Saviour, turned away God’s wrath forever; suff'ring pains no tongue can tell, He saved us from the pains of hell. 2 That we never might forget it, Take my flesh, He said, and eat it, Hidden in this piece of bread; Drink in this wine my blood, He said. 3 Whoso to this board repaireth, Take good heed how he prepareth; Death instead of life shall he Receive who comes unworthily. 4 Praise the Father, God in heaven, Who such precious food hath given, And for sins which thou hast done Hath caused to die His only Son. 5 Thou shalt hold with faith unshaken That this food is to be taken By the sick who are distressed, By those whose heart is sin-oppressed. 6 To such grace and mercy turneth Every soul that truly mourneth; Art thou well? avoid this board, Lest thou receive an ill reward. 7 Christ says: Come, ye heavy-laden, I your weary hearts will gladden; They that are yet strong and well, Despise the best physician's skill. 8 Could'st thou earn thine own salvation, Useless were my death and passion; This feast is not spread for thee, If thine own helper thou wilt be. 9 If thou this believest truly, And confession makest duly, Thou a welcome guest art here, This heavenly food thy soul shall cheer. 10 But the fruits must not be missing, Love thy neighbor without ceasing, That true love let him receive Which here to thee thy God doth give.

The Church Thy help engageth When foes around her throng; So when the battle rageth, Be Thee her fortress strong. 4 Preserve to us forever Thy saving Word, O Lord, And may it fail us never, But light and truth afford. O may its living waters Refresh both heart and soul of all Thy sons and daughters Till they have reached the goal. 5 Preserve, when storms are raging, Thy little flock from woe; De Thou, our fears assuaging, Thy help on us bestow. Direct Thy ship, O Master, Thro' waves and tempests sore, That we without disaster May reach yon peaceful shore. Languages: English Tune Title: TESCHNER

Full Of Reverence At Thy Word

Author: E. Cronenwett; B. Muenter Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #44 (1930) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: The Means of Grace Holy Communion First Line: Full of rev'rence at Thy Word Lyrics: 1. Full of rev'rence at Thy Word, Lord, I near Thy hallowed board, Mindful of Thy latest breath, And Thy sacrificial death. Mediator, Who for me Diedst from wrath to set me free, May I as Thy worthy guest By this feast of life be blest. 2. As a sinful castaway, This is all my trust and stay, That Thy blood and righteousness Robes me in a spotless dress, Fits me as a saint to meet God before the judgment seat: God is reconciled to me-- Hid, O spotless Lamb, in Thee. 3. Tho' my sins have caused me grief, This assurance gives relief; Other helpers there are none, Lord, I cleave to Thee alone; Hence I come, my Savior true, Thy remembrance to renew And to testify again To Thy love--for sinners slain. 4. May I not, to my great loss, Coldly stand beneath the cross, Unto judgment never take What Thou offeredst for my sake! Bread of life! here strengthen me By Thy life to live in Thee, And Thy blood renew my will, Thine alone, Lord, to fulfill. A-men. 5 Hold Thou ever firm in me, Till I pass from strife to Thee, This my purpose, to endure In Thy service, and keep pure; Lord, I tremble now with dread, Lest again I faltering tread Weakly into lurking sin; Still its might I feel within. 6 When in its seductive way It would lead my heart astray, Help me God, with bated breath, Look on Jesus' bitter death! While I see Thy thorn-crowned head Bow beneath God's judgment dread, Let me not through sin despise, Lamb of God, Thy sacrifice. 7 Should, alas, I err from Thee, Constant Savior, seek Thou me; Show wherein I have done wrong; In my weakness, be Thou strong. All my faults and failings bear, Keep me wholly in Thy care; And when I bewail my sin, Grant me, Lord, Thy grace again. 8 Lord, Thy wayward sheep behold, Keep me safely in Thy fold; Help me show Thy saving death In the power of living faith, And to shun each sinful joy As a poisonous alloy, That eternally above I may praise Thy matchless love!

We All Believe In One True God

Author: H. Bruecker; Martin Luther Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #60 (1930) Topics: The Means of Grace Holy Communion Lyrics: 1 We all believe in one true God, Who created earth and heaven; As Father he to us in love Has the name of children given; In His goodness He would feed us, Soul and body e'er sustaining; Thro' all danger He would lead us, We from Him all safety gaining; He watches o'er us day and night And all things rules with boundless might. 2 And we believe in Jesus Christ, God's own Son, all pow'r possessing, Who honor with the Father shares, Fount of ev'ry grace and blessing. Born of Mary, virgin mother, By the working of the Spirit; He became our elder Brother, That we heaven might inherit; Was crucified be sinful men And raised by God to life again. 3 The Holy Ghost we also own, Who, in highest heaven dwelling With the God the Father and the Son, Comforts us beyond all telling. In one spirit He united us Who as Christians here are living; For our suff'rings He requites us, Freely all our sins forgiving; All flesh again shall rise and we Eternal life in heav'n shall see.
