I love Thy Zion, Lord!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a194 (1895) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Catechism The Church Lyrics: 1 I love Thy Zion, Lord! The house of Thine abode; The Church our blest Redeemer saved By Thine own precious blood. 2 I love Thy Church, O God! Her walls before Thee stand, Dear as the apple of Thine eye, And graven on Thy hand. 3 Should I with scoffers join Her alters to abuse? No! better far my tongue were dumb, My hand its skill should lose. 4 O ne'er may I forget Her welfare nor her woe; Lest ev'ry joy my heart forsake, And ev'ry grief o'erflow. 5 For her my tears shall fall; For her my prayers ascend; To her my cares and toils be given, Till toils and cares shall end. 6 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise.

On the mountain top appearing

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a195 (1895) Topics: The Catechism The Church Lyrics: 1 On the mountain top appearing, Lo! the sacred herald stands, Welcome news to Zion bearing, Zion long in hostile lands: Mourning captive, God Himself will loose thy bands. 2 Has the night been long and mournful? Have thy friends unfaithful proved? Have thy foes been proud and scornful, By thy sighs and tears unmoved? Cease thy mourning, Zion still is well beloved. 3 God, thy God, will now restore thee! He Himself appears thy friend: All thy foes shall flee before thee; Here their boasts and triumphs end: Great deliv'rance Zion's King vouchsafes to send. Languages: English

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a196 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Catechism The Church Lyrics: 1 Thine honor rescue, righteous Lord! Hear Zion’s sighs and help afford; Destroy the wiles of potent foes, Who now Thy Word and truth oppose. 2 Their craft and vaunting pomp are great; High beat their herts, with power elate; Our dearest hopes they but deride And deem us nothing in their pride. 3 Forgive, O Lord, our sins forgive. Show us Thy face and let us live. Convince Thy foes throughout the land That godless counsels shall not stand. 4 Preserve Thy little flock in peace, Nor let Thy boundless mercy cease; Let it to all the world appear Thy holy Church indeed is here. 5 That Thou art with us, loud proclaim Who put'st each enemy to shame; Dost all their haughtiness suppress, And help Thine own in their distress.

Thou little flock, be not afraid

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a197 (1895) Topics: The Catechism The Church Lyrics: 1 Thou little flock, be not afraid, Though foes against thee stand arrayed, And ready to destroy thee, Although thy ruin they prepare, And fill thee oft with anxious care: They shall not long annoy thee. 2 Thy cause is God's; this comfort thee, And His, not thine, the vengeance be: Let Him perform His pleasure; The needful help thou shalt obtain, Thee and His word He will sustain, Through Christ, His own dear Treasure. 3 As God is God, and true his word, Fierce Satan and his hellish herd, The world and all their powers, shall reap but shame beneath His rod: God is with us, and we with God: The vict'ry must be ours.

Lord, in Thy kingdom there shall be

The saints of earth and those above

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a200 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Catechism The Church Lyrics: 1 The saints on earth and those above But one communion make; Joined to their Lord, in bonds of love, All of His grace partake. 2 One family, we dwell in Him, One church above, beneath; Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death. 3 One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of the host have crossed the flood And part are crossing now. 4 Lo! thousands to their endless home Are swiftly borne away; And we are to the margin come, And soon must launch as they. 5 Lord Jesus! be our constant guide! Then, when the word is given, Bid death’s flood its waves divide, And land us safe in heaven. Languages: English

Lord, grant a happy death. Languages: English
