Behold a Stranger at the door!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #373 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Walk of Godliness Call to Grace, &c. Lyrics: 1 Behold a Stranger at the door! He gently knocks-- has knocked before, Has waited long-- is waiting still: You treat no other friend so ill. 2 O lovely attitude, He stands With melting heart and loaded hands! O matchless kindness! and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes! 3 But will He prove a friend indeed? He will; the very friend you need; The Friend of sinners--yes, 'tis He, With garments dyed on Calvary. 4 Admit Him ere His anger burn; His feet, departed, ne'er return; Admit Him, or the hour's at hand You'll at His door rejected stand.

Hasten, O sinner, to be wise

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #377 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Walk of Godliness Call to Grace, &c. Lyrics: 1 Hasten, O sinner, to be wise, And stay not for the morrow’s sun: The longer wisdom you despise, The harder is she to be won. 2 O hasten mercy to implore, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear thy season should be o’er, Before this evening’s course be run. 3 Hasten, O sinner, to return, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear thy lamp should fail to burn, Before the needful work is done. 4 Hasten, O sinner, to be blest, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear the curse should thee arrest, Before the morrow is begun.

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #378 (1880) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Call to Grace, &c.

A fountain is opened; how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight, And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the vale of eternity's night.

Jesus, my Lord, how rich Thy grace!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #390 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Lord, how rich Thy grace! Thy bounties how complete! How shall I count the matchless sum, How pay the mighty debt? 2 High on a throne of radiant light Dost Thou exalted shine: What can my poverty bestow, When all the worlds are Thine? 3 But Thou hast brethren here below, The partners of Thy grace, And wilt confess their humble names Before Thy Father’s face. 4 In them Thou may'st be clothed and fed, And visited and cheered; And in their accents of distress My Savior’s voice is heard. 5 Thy face, with rev'rence and with love, We in Thy poor would see; O rather let me beg my bread, Than keep it back from Thee.

Lo, what a pleasing sight

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #392 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve of Holiness Lyrics: 1 Lo, what a pleasing sight Are brethren that agree! How blest are all whose hearts unite In bonds of piety! 2 From those celestial springs, Such streams of comfort flow, As no increase of riches brings, Nor honors can bestow. 3 All in their stations move, And each performs his part, In all the cares of life and love, With sympathizing heart. 4 Formed for the purest joys, By one desire possesed, One aim the zeal of all employs, To make each other blest. 5 No bliss can equal theirs, Where such affections meet; While praise devout, and mingled pray'rs, Make their communion sweet. 6 'Tis the same pleasure fills The breast in worlds above, Where joy like morning dew distils, And all the air is love.

Christian, seek not yet repose

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #395 (1880) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Christian, seek not yet repose, Cast thy dreams of ease away, Thou art in the midst of foes, Therefore watch and pray. 2 Gird thy heavenly armor on, Wear it ever, night and day; Near thee lurks the evil one, Therefore watch and pray. 3 Listen to the sorrowing Lord, Him thou lovest to obey; It is He who speaks the Word, Therefore watch and pray. 4 'Twas in watching and in prayer, Holy men of olden day Won the palms and crowns they wear; Therefore watch and pray. 5 Watch, for Thou Thy guard must keep; Pray, for God must speed thy way; Narrow is the road and steep, Therefore watch and pray.

Up, my soul, gird thee with power

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #396 (1880) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Up, my soul, gird thee with power, Watch! to prayer betake thee; Lest the sudden evil hour Unawares o'ertake thee. Satan's prey Soon are they, Who, with best endeavor, Watch not, pray not, ever. 2 But first rouse thee, and awake From secure indiff'rence; Else will follow in its wake Woe without deliv'rance. Take thou heed! Utter need, Death in sins might find thee, Ere thou look behind thee. 3 Wake, arouse! else can the Lord Not enlighten, ground thee; Nor thou see the quickening Word Shine in splendor round thee. God demands Eyes and hands Open for the offers, He so richly proffers. 4 With thy watching mingle prayer; Grace but rids from slumber. God rids thee from slothful care And the weights that cumber; Else will still Mind and will Lukewarm praises tender, And cold service render. 5 God will have it that we ask, And it shall be given; Who pray alway, alway bask In the grace of heaven. Ere they plead Will He heed, Strengthen, keep, defend them, And deliv'rance send them. 6 Cheer thee then, my soul! All must Work for good, and bless us, If we but in prayerful trust To God's Son address us; And He will Richly fill, And His Spirit send us, Who to Him commend us. 7 Let us watch then, pray, with heed, God will prove our Hearer; For the hour of utmost need Constantly draws nearer. Saints will cheer, Sinners fear, When the trumpet calleth, Earth in ruins falleth. Languages: English

God of grace, whose Word is sure

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #398 (1880) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 God of grace, whose Word is sure, Thou who keenest truth forever, That my trust may rest secure On this ground that wavers never, Let Thy truth be dear to me, That my soul may faithful be. 2 Ever true this word remains: He who Christ to own refuses, While he earthly comfort gains, Everlasting comfort loses; For the Savior will not own Him before the Father's throne. 3 To the banner of the cross I fidelity have plighted, It would be my endless loss If this solemn vow were slighted; Therefore Jesus, none but He, Shall my constant watchword be. 4 Let me, till my latest breath, Christ confess with constant meekness; Let me faithful be till death, Strong in Him 'mid all my weakness; Let me live in Him, and die Heir of mansions in the sky.
