O Christ, our true and only Light
Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #230b (1899) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light,
Illumine those who sit in night;
Let those afar now hear Thy voice
And in Thy fold with us rejoice.
2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace
The souls now lost in error's maze,
And all, O Lord, whose secret minds
Some dark delusion hurts and blinds.
3 And all who else have strayed from Thee,
O gently seek! Thy healing be
To every wounded conscience given,
And let them also share Thy heaven.
4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word,
And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord,
Who dare not yet the faith avow,
Though secretly they hold it now.
5 Shine on the darkened and the cold,
Recall the wanderers to Thy fold.
Unite those now who walk apart,
Confirm the weak and doubting heart.
6 So they with us may evermore
Such grace with wondering thanks adore,
And endless praise to Thee be given,
By all Thy Church in earth and heaven.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WEIMAR

Cause your whole walk with us to be
His joy and your felicity.

And bless you richly from on high,
That spirit, soul, and body may
Be blameless till His perfect day. Topics: The Church's Life and Work Reception of Members Languages: English Tune Title: HUS
Here in the Name of Christ Our Lord
We have a sure, prophetic Word
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #30 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We have a sure, prophetic Word,
By inspiration of the Lord;
And though assailed on every hand,
Jehovah's word shall ever stand.
2 By powers of empire banned and burned,
By pagan pride rejected, spurned,
The Word still stands the Christian's trust,
While haughty empires lie in dust.
3 Lo! what the Word in times of old
Of future days and deeds foretold,
Is all fulfilled, while ages roll,
As traced on the prophetic scroll.
4 Abiding, steadfast, firm, and sure,
The teachings of the Word endure:
Blest he who trusts this steadfast Word,
His anchor holds in Christ, the Lord. Topics: Word of God; Word of God Abiding and Sure; Word of God Inspiration of Languages: English Tune Title: LORD JESUS CHRIST, BE PRESENT NOW

The Gospel shows the Father's grace
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #31 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Gospel shows the Father's grace,
Who sent His Son to save our race:
Proclaims how Jesus lived and died
That man might thus be justified.
2 It sets the Lamb before our eyes
Who made th'atoning sacrifice,
And calls the souls with guilt oppressed
To come and find eternal rest.
3 It brings the Saviour's righteousness
Our souls to robe in royal dress;
From all our guilt it brings release,
And gives the troubled conscience peace.
4 It is the power of God to save
From sin and Satan and the grave;
It works the faith which firmly clings
To all the treasures which it brings.
5 It bears to all the tidings glad,
And bids their hearts no more be sad:
The heavy laden souls it cheers,
And banishes their guilty fears.
6 May we in faith its tidings learn,
Nor thanklessly its blessings spurn;
May we in faith its truth confess,
And praise the Lord our righteousness.

The Law of God is good and wise
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #32 (1898) Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise,
And sets His will before our eyes;
Shows us the way of righteousness,
And dooms to death when we transgress.
2 Its light of holiness imparts
The knowledge of our sinful hearts,
That we may see our lost estate,
And seek deliv'rance ere too late.
3 To those who help in Christ have found,
And would in works of love abound,
It shows what deeds are His delight,
And should be done as good and right.
4 When men the offered help distain,
And willfully in sin remain,
Its terror in their ear resounds
And keeps their wickedness in bounds.
5 The law is good; but since the fall
Its holiness condemns us all:
It dooms us for our sin to die,
And has no power to justify.
6 To Jesus we for refuge flee,
Who from the curse has set us free,
And humbly worship at His throne,
Saved by His grace through faith alone.

O Jesus, Lord of heavenly grace
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #33 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, Lord of heavenly grace,
Thou brightness of Thy Father's face,
Thou fountain of eternal light,
Whose beams disperse the shades of night!
2 Come, holy Sun of heavenly love,
Send down Thy radiance from above,
And to our inmost hearts convey
The Holy Spirit's cloudless ray.
3 And we the Father's help will claim,
And sing the Father's glorious name:
His powerful succor we implore,
That we may stand, to fall no more.
4 May He our actions deign to bless,
And loose the bonds of wickedness,
From sudden falls our feet defend,
And guide us safely to the end.
5 May faith, deep-rooted in the soul,
The flesh subdue, the mind control:
May guile depart, and discord cease,
And all within be joy and peace.
6 Oh, hallowed thus be every day!
Let meekness be our morning ray,
And faithful love our noonday light,
And hope our sunset, calm and bright.
7 O Christ, with each returning morn
Thine image to our hearts is borne:
Oh, may we ever clearly see
Our Saviour and our God in Thee! Topics: Worship Morning; Christ Light; Light., prayed for; Prayer General Petition Languages: English Tune Title: LORD JESUS CHRIST, BE PRESENT NOW

On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
Author: Chandler; C. Coffin Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #44b (1894) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's banks the Baptist's cry
Announces that the Lord is nigh;
Awake, and hearken, for he brings
Glad tidings of the King of kings.
2 Then cleansed be every Christian breast,
And furnished for so great a guest;
Yea, let us each our hearts prepare
For Christ to come and enter there.
3 For Thou art our salvation, Lord,
Our refuge and our great reward;
Without Thy grace we waste away,
Like flowers that wither and decay.
4 To heal the sick stretch out Thine hand,
And bid the fallen sinner stand;
Once more upon Thy people shine,
And fill the world with love divine.
5 All praise, eternal Son, to Thee,
Whose Advent set Thy people free;
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost for evermore.
Amen. Topics: Preparation for Christ Languages: English Tune Title: CANTIONALE DE GOTHA

The Word of God, Which Ne'er Shall Cease
Author: Louis F. Kampmann, 1817-1884; Petrus Herbert, -1571 Hymnal: Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church #234 (1969) First Line: The Word of God which ne'er shall cease Lyrics: 1 The Word of God, which ne’er shall cease,
Proclaims free pardon, grace and peace,
Salvation shows in Christ alone,
The perfect will of God makes known.
2 This holy Word exposes sin,
Convinces us that we’re unclean,
Points out the wretched, ruined state
Of all mankind, both small and great.
3 It then reveals God’s boundless grace,
Which justifies our sinful race,
And gives eternal life to all
Who will accept the gospel call.
4 It gently heals the broken heart
And heavenly riches doth impart,
Unfolds redemption’s wondrous plan
Through Christ’s atoning death for man. Topics: The Holy Scriptures Languages: English Tune Title: HUS

Eternal Son of God, O Thou
Author: A. J. Rambach Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #128 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Son of God, O Thou,
Before whom earth and heaven bow,
Regard Thy people as they raise
To Thee their songs of prayer and praise.
2 This house they dedicate to Thee,
That here they may Thy glory see;
Thy body and Thy blood they here
Receive, their fainting souls to cheer.
3 Here in baptismal water pure
They find for sins a gracious cure;
Their children here to Thee they bring,
O Thou,our death-subduing King.
4 Here sin's diseases healing find,
The weak grow strong, light cheers the blind;
The troubled heart with peace is blest,
And weariness finds heavenly rest.
5 When tempests shake the world around,
The rock-built Church secure is found;
The gates of hell may here assail
Whom Christ defends, but not prevail.
6 Praise to the Father, and the Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One;
Blest Trinity whom we adore,
Teach us to praise Thee evermore. Topics: The Church Church Buildings; The Church Church Buildings Languages: English Tune Title: [Eternal Son of God, O Thou]
