Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Profession of Faith; Profession of Faith Lyrics: 1 I will exalt my God and King, and I will ever praise your name. I will extol you every day and evermore your praise proclaim. You, LORD, are greatly to be praised; your greatness is beyond all thought. From age to age your people tell the mighty wonders you have wrought. 2 On your most glorious majesty and on your deeds my mind will dwell. Your deeds will fill the world with awe, and all your greatness I will tell. Your matchless goodness and your grace your people will commemorate; and all your truth and righteousness our joyful song will celebrate. 3 The LORD our God is rich in grace, tender to us, compassionate. His anger is most slow to rise; his love and kindness are most great. The LORD is good in all his ways; his creatures know his constant care. To all his works his love extends; all creatures in his mercies share. 4 All you have made will praise you, LORD; your mighty acts your saints will show, till all the peoples on the earth the splendor of your kingdom know. Eternal is your kingdom, LORD, forever strong and ever sure; while generations rise and die, your glorious reign will still endure. 5 The LORD is faithful to his word; he will extend his gracious hand. The LORD upholds the faltering feet and makes the weak securely stand. The eyes of all look up to you for food and drink, which you supply; your open hand is bountiful, and every need you satisfy. 6 The LORD is just in all his ways; in all his works the LORD is kind, and all who call on him in truth in him a present helper find. He will fulfill the heart's desire of those who fear him and obey. The LORD will surely hear their cry, will save them when to him they pray. 7 The LORD in grace preserves his saints, redeeming those who love his name. The wicked he will overthrow and put his enemies to shame. My mouth will sing the glorious praise of God, whom earth and heaven adore. Let every creature praise his name forever and forevermore!

God's glorious beauty to admire, and in his temple to inquire, and in his temple to inquire. 3 When troubles round me swell, when fears and dangers throng, securely I will dwell in his pavilion strong. Within the shelter of God's tent he hides me till the storm is spent, he hides me till the storm is spent. 4 Uplifted on a rock above my foes around, amid the battle shock my song shall still resound. Then joyful offerings I will bring; the LORD God's praise my heart shall sing, the LORD God's praise my heart shall sing.

Bleib, Jesu, bleib bei mir

Author: E. Neumeister Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: State and Professions Songs Lyrics: 1 Bleib, Jesu, bleib bei mir, es will nun Abend werden! Der Tag hat sich geneigt mit meiner Zeit auf Erden, mein Abschied stellt sich ein, die Stunde naht sich nun, da ich soll auf der Welt die letzte Reise thun. 2 Die Zeit der Pilgrimschaft, die ich hier angefangen, ist über Berg und Thal, durch kreuz und Noth gegangen; du aber warft bei mir, auch wenn ich's nicht gemerkt, und hast das matte Herz durch deinen Trost gestärkt. 3 So wirst du mich zuletzt mein Jesu nicht verlassen, mein Glaube soll dich fest mit beiden Armen fassen! Ach ja, ich höre schon, was mir dein Mund verspricht: "Ich weich neicht von dir, so fürchte dich nur nicht!" 4 Drum fürcht ich mich auch nicht. Wird meine Seele scheiden, so führest du sie ein in's Paradies der Freuden: so ist der schwere Weg des ganzen Lebens gut, wenn man den letzten Schritt mit dir in Himmel thut.

Es wird folgen Glück und Heil hier in diesem Leben; endlich wird dir Gott dein Theil auch im Himmel geben. 5 Nun, Herr Jesu, all mein Sach sei dir übergeben; es nach deinem Willen mach auch im Tod und Leben. All mein Werk greif ich jetzt an, Jesu in dein'm Namen, laß es doch sein wohlgethan; ich sprech darauf: Amen.

Gott, gieb Fried in deinem Lande

Author: G. Edelmann, 1660-1727 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: State and Professions Songs Lyrics: 1 Gott, gieb Fried in deinem Lande, da du wohnst mit dienem Wort; Glück und Heil zu allem Stande gieb uns auch an allem Ort; mach des Krieges bald ein End, deinen Frieden zu uns wend, daß wir stehen mögen bleiben dein Wort ungehindert treiben. 2 Gott, gieb Fried in der Gemeine, die dich ehrt und recht erkennt, Jesum Christum auch alleine ihren Seligmacher nennt; laß sie Schutz und Friede han, daß ihr nichts mehr haben an alle, die wider sie streiten; steh ihr bei auf allen Seiten. 3 Gott, gieb Fried an allen Enden, da dein Wort im Schwange geht; laß dein Wort nicht von uns wenden, weil darauf dein Ehr besteht. Wend von uns ab falsche lehr, die dein Wort verdunkelt sehr; laß uns dein Wort helle scheinen, mach selig dadurch die Deinen. 4 Gott, gieb Fried zu allen Zeiten, weil wir jetzt das Leben han; sonst kann Niemand für uns streiten, mit Menschen ist nichts gethan. Darum du, Herr Jesu Christ. der du unser Kriegsfürst bist, streit für uns als deine Freunde, und stürz alle deine Feinde. 5 Gott, gieb Fried! Es thut vonnöthen, weil die Feind so grausam sein, die mit ihrem Rauben und mit Tödten schonen nicht der Kindelein. Räche das unschuldge Blut, das um Rache schreien thut, straf der Feinde Sünd und Schanden, deren sie sich unterstanden. 6 Gott, gieb Fried, den nicht kann geben die gottlose, böse Welt, die mit ihrem Kriege strebet nur nach Ehren, Gut und Geld; Jesu Christ, du Friedefürst, wenn du Friede geben wirst, so woll'n wir dir Ehr erweisen, dich mit Freuden lob'n und preisen.
