My roving feet command; Nor I forsake the happy road, That leads to thy right hand.

Blessed Jesus, here we stand

Author: B. Schmolk Hymnal: Hymns of the Evangelical Lutheran Church #22 (1886) Topics: The Means Of Grace Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, here we stand, met to do as Thou hast spoken, And this child, at Thy command, now we bring to Thee, in token that to Christ it here is given; for of such shall be Thy heaven. 2 Yes, Thy warning voice is plain, And we fain would keep it duly, "He who is not born again, Heart and life renewing truly, Born of water and the Spirit, Will My kingdom ne'er inherit." 3 Therefore hasten we to Thee; Take the pledge we bring, O take it! Let us here Thy glory see, And in tender pity make it Now Thy child, and leave it never, Thine on earth, and Thine forever. 4 Wash it, Jesus, in Thy blood, From the sin-stain of its nature; Let it rise from out this flood Clothed in Thee, a newborn creature; May it, washed as Thou hast bidden, In thine innocence be hidden. 5 Turn the darkness into light, To Thy grace receive and save it; Heal the serpent's venomed bite, In the font where now we lave it; Here let flow a Jordan river, And from leprosy deliver. 6 Make it, Head, Thy member now; Shepherd, take Thy lamb and feed it; Prince of peace, its peace be Thou; Way of life, to heaven lead it; Vine, this branch may nothing sever, Graft by faith in Thee forever. 7 Now into Thy heart we pour Prayers that from our hearts proceeded; Let our sighing heavenward soar, Let our warm desires be heeded; Write the name we now have given, Write it in the book of heaven.

The Law Of God Is Good And Wise

Author: M. Loy Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #33 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Means of Grace The Word 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 disdain And dead in sin and woe 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 sins to die And has no pow'r 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 thro' faith alone.

Purge all my secret sins away: Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay! 4 O Jesus, Lamb of God alone Who didst for all our sins atone, Tho' I have sinned and gone astray, Turn not, O Lord, Thy guest away! 5 O Jesus, Lamb of God, alone, Who didst for all our sins atone, Be merciful, I Thee implore: Have mercy, Lord, forevermore!

Beautiful Upon The Mountain

Author: H. Brueckner Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #93 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Means of Grace The Ministry Lyrics: 1 Beautiful upon the mountain Are the feet of shepherds true, Who from out the living Fountain Grace dispense each day anew. Precious is the peace they offer In the Savior's own dear name, Who, for us His life to proffer, From His throne in heav'n He came. 2 Earthly chains must not enslave him Who would serve our gracious Lord; In the strength the Master gave him He must preach His holy Word, Gladly bearing pain and sorrow, Self-forgetful evermore. Hoping that a brighter morrow God has kept for him in store. 3 Let him speak to ev'ry nation Of the Savior's boundless love; Let him tell of God's salvation, Of the blissful home above. Let him comfort hearts that languish In the throes of sin and pain, That, relieved from all their anguish, Peace and rest they may obtain. 4 Be it told to sinners stricken With the fear of death and hell: Christ your fainting hearts will quicken And all mortal fears dispel. Be it told to those in prison, Chained by tho'ts of doubt and care: Christ, Who died, again is risen And with you His home will share. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ASAPH

The Peace Of God Protects Our Hearts

Author: J. C. Aaberg; N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #134 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 The peace of God protects our hearts Against the tempter’s fiery darts; It is as sure when darkness falls As when the golden morning calls. 2 This is the peace our Savior wrought When on the cross the foe He fought; And when to heav'n He upward soared His peace He left us in His Word. 3 His word of peace new strength imparts Each day to faint and troubled hearts, And in the cup and at the font It satisfies our deepest want. 4 This blessed peace our Lord will give To all who in the Spirit live; Yea, even at their parting breath They peacefully await their death. 5 But know, ye people of the Lord, That only this can help afford: That hearts believe to righteousness And tongues the word of peace confess. 6 For when the Lord our peace had won, He asked for faith, and faith alone. By faith, and not our merits vain, We grace and peace from God obtain. 7 Peace be with thee, the Savior saith In answer to our word of faith; Whoso has faith, he shall have peace And live in joy that ne'er shall cease.

A-men. 5 Jesus, Thou art mine forever; Suffer not myself to stray; Let me in my weakness never Cast my priceless pearl away. 6 Lamb of God! I do implore Thee, Guard, support me, lest I fall; Let me evermore adore Thee, Be my everlasting All. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MERTON

Chief Of Sinners Though I Be

Author: Wm. McComb Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #176 (1930) Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Chief of sinners though I be, Jesus shed His blood for me; Died that I might live on high, Lived that I might never die. As the branch is to the vine, I am His and He is mine. 2 O the height of Jesus' love! Higher than the heav'ns above, Deeper than the depths of sea, Lasting to eternity; Love that found me, wondrous tho't! Found me when I sought Him not. 3 Jesus only can impart Balm to heal the smitten heart, Peace that flows from sin forgiv'n, Joy that lifts the soul to heav'n, Faith and hope to walk with God, In the way that Enoch trod. 4 Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me; All my wants to Him are known, All my sorrows are His own; Safe with Him from earthly strife, He sustains the hidden life. 5 O my Savior, help afford By Thy Spirit and Thy Word! When my wayward heart would stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Grace in time of need supply, While I live and when I die. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: DIX
