O Savior, who in love didst take

Author: J. S. B. Monsell Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #288 (1913) Lyrics: 1 O Savior, who in love didst take A human body, for our sake; To share with us the griefs of life, Its watchings, weariness, and strife: All that belong to man but sin, Thou didst this day Thyself begin. 2 Savior of infants, Thou didst rest, Helpless, upon Thy mother's breast; Savior of children, Thu didst play, And grow beside her, day by day. All human life to soothe and save, Up from the cradle to the grave. 3 Savior, as low as Thou didst bend From heaven to be the sinners' friend, So high our nature lift with Thine, Till human things become divine. And Thy eternal love once more God's image to the soul restore. 4 And when we cling too close to earth, Forgetful of our heavenly birth, And for the love of its poor dross, Despise Thy crown or shun Thy cross. O let this festal day reprove Such wrong to Thine incarnate love. Topics: The Church Year Fifth Sunday in Lent; The Church Year Fifth Sunday in Lent Tune Title: [O Savior, who in love didst take]

My God, I know that I must die

Author: B. Schmolck Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #586 (1913) Lyrics: 1 My God, I know that I must die: My mortal life is passing hence; On earth I neither hope nor try To find a lasting residence. Then teach me by Thy heavenly grace With joy and peace my death to face. 2 My God, I know not when I die; What is the moment or the hour, How soon the clay may broken lie, How quickly pass away the flower. Then may Thy child preparéd be Through time to meet eternity. 3 My God, I know not how I die; For death has many ways to come, In dark mysterious agony, Or gently as a sleep to some. Just as Thou wilt, if but it be To bring me, blesséd Lord, to Thee! 4 My God, I know not where I die, Where is my grace, beneath what strand; Yet from its gloom I do rely To be delivered by Thy hand. Content I take what spot is mine, Since all the earth, my Lord, is Thine. 5 My gracious God, when I must die, O bear my happy soul above, With Christ, my Lord, eternally To share Thy glory and Thy love. Then comes it right and well to me When, where, and how my death shall be.

"Ere we go"

Hymnal: Laudes Domini #198 (1884) First Line: Sweet Saviour, bless us ere we go Refrain First Line: Through life's long day Lyrics: 1 Sweet Saviour, bless us ere we go: Thy word into our minds instill: And make our lukewarm hearts to glow With lowly love and fervent will. Refrain: Through life's long day, And death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 2 The day is gone, its hours have run, And thou hast taken count of all, The scanty triumphs grace hath won, The broken vow, the frequent fall. [Refrain] 3 Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways True absolution and release; And bless us more than in past days With purity and inward peace. [Refrain] 4 Do more than pardon; give us joy, Sweet fear and sober liberty, And simple hearts without alloy That only long to be like thee. [Refrain] 5 For all we love, the poor, the sad, The sinful unto thee we call; Oh, let thy mercy make us glad: Thou art our Jesus, and our all. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: MATTHIAS
