Father of glory! to Thy name

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a117 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father of glory! to Thy name Immortal praise we give, Who dost an act of grace proclaim, And bid us rebels live. 2 Immortal honor to the Son, Who makes Thine anger cease; Our lives He ransomed with His own, And died to make our peace. 3 To Thy Almighty Spirit be Immortal glory given, Whose teachings brings us near to Thee, And trains us up for heaven. 4 Let men, with their united voice, Adore th'eternal God, And spread His honors and their joys, Through nations far abroad. 5 Let faith, and love, and duty join, One grateful song to raise; And saints in earth and heav'n combine In harmony and praise.

Comfort, comfort ye my people

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a119 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye my people, Speak ye peace, thus saith our God; Comfort those who sit in darkness, Mourning 'neath their sorrow’s load; Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover, And her warfare now is over. 2 Yea, her sins our God will pardon, Blotting out each dark misdeed; That which well deserved His anger He will not more see or heed. She hath suffer'd many a day, Now her griefs have passed away, God will change her pining sadness Unto ever springing gladness. 3 For Elijah's voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance, Since the Kingdom now is here. Oh, that warning cry obey, Now prepare for God a way! Let the valleys rise to meet Him, And the hills bow down to greet Him. 4 Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain, Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign; For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token That His Word is never broken.

Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a12 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing; Fill our hearts with joy and peace; Let us each, Thy love possessing, Triumph in redeeming grace: O refresh us! Trav'ling through this wilderness. 2 Thanks we give, and adoration, For Thy gospel's joyful sound; May the fruits of Thy salvation In our hearts and lives abound; May Thy presence With us evermore be found. 3 So whene'er the signal's given Us from earth to call away, Born on angel's wings to heaven, Glad to leave our cumbrous clay, May we, ready, Rise and reign in endless day!

O Jesus, Lamb of God, who art

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a120 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, Lamb of God, who art The Life and Comfort of my heart: From wrath I, wretched sinner, Flee With all my many sins to Thee. 2 O God, my sinfulness is great! I groan beneath a dreadful weight; Yet, be Thou merciful, I pray, And take my guilty curse away. 3 St. John, the Baptist, biddeth me To cast my burden, Lamb, on Thee: Since Thou art come, as Friend indeed, To succor me and all in need. 4 Grant that I may amend my ways, And keep Thy Word throughout my days: To this end, Lord, abide with me, And when I die take me to Thee.

Ye sons of men, in earnest

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a121 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Ye sons of men, in earnest Prepare your hearts within, The wond'rous Conqu'ror cometh, Whose power can save from sin, Whom God in grace alone Hath promised long to send us, To lighten and befriend us, And make His mercy known. 2 Oh, set your ways in order When such a Guest is nigh; Make plain the paths before Him That now deserted lie. Forsake what He doth hate, Exalt the lowly valleys, Bring down all pride and malice, And make the crooked straight. 3 'Twas thus St. John hath taught us, 'Twas thus he preached of yore; And they will feel God's anger Who list not to his lore. O God! now let his voice To Thy true service win us, That Christ may come within us, And we in Him rejoice! Topics: The Church Year John the Baptist Languages: English

Lord God, we all give praise to Thee

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a122 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord God, we all give praise to Thee, And sing Thy love most gratefully, For the angelic beings bright Who hover round Thy throne of light. 2 They shine resplendent by Thy grace And gaze enraptured on Thy face; They hear Thy voice as Thou hast willed, And are with heavenly wisdom filled. 3 Thy slumber not, nor rest their feet; It is their aim and joy most sweet To be thy host, Thou mighty Rock! And be around Thy little flock. 4 The foul old dragon and dread foe Burns with fierce envious hate below; He seeks more than all else beside Thy Christian people to divide. 5 He blighted earth with lying breath And hold his grip e'en now till death; Chafes madly to annihilate All virtue, honor, Church, and State. 6 Nor halt nor rest he ever knows; As roaring lion round he goes, Or lies in wait with desp'rate snare To bring the Christian to despair. 7 But watchful is the angel-band That follows Christ on every hand, And guards Thy Holy Christendom From harm that may from Satan come. 8 This we can well of Daniel ken, When he sat in the lions' den; And earlier still, we have been taught How angels rescued pious Lot. 9 Likewise the Hebrews three, of old, Who bend no knee to gods of gold, Sang cheerfully mid flames intense: God's angel was their sure defence. 10 And thus our God, still at this day, From harm and many an evil way Keeps us by His dear angel-guard, Placed o'er us as our watch and ward. 11 For this, now and eternally, Our praise shall rise, O God, to Thee, Whom also angel-hosts adore With joy, now and forevermore. 12 We yet would pray Thee to defend By them, unto the latter end, Thy fold, that little flock, O Lord, That holds in honor thy blest Word!

Though angels bright escape our sight

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a123 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Though angels bright escape our sight, Unheard their songs are sung, They hover 'round us day and night, These earthly mists among. 2 Amid the snares, amid the cares That danger bring each day, Our Lord an angel band prepares To guide us on our way. 3 With malice fell the prince of hell Would fain the Church o'erthrow, But holy angels guard it well, And put to shame the foe. 4 This mercy shown, O Lord, we own: To Thee our thanks we bring; And with the angels 'round Thy throne Would endless praises sing.

Jesus, Brightness of the Father

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a124 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Brightness of the Father, Life and Strength of all who live! In the presence of the angels, Glory to Thy name we give: And Thy wondrous praise rehearse, Singing in harmonious verse. 2 Blessed Lord, by their protection, Shelter us from harm this day; Keep us pure in flesh and spirit; Save us from the foe, we pray: And vouchsafe us, by Thy grace, In Thy paradise a place. 3 Glory to th'almighty Father, Let our voices now repeat; Glory to the great Redeemer; Glory to the Paraclete; Three in One, and One in Three, Throughout all eternity.

Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a125 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright, Filled with celestial resplendence and light, These that, where night never followeth day, Raise the "Thrice holy Lord! ever and aye. 2 These are Thy ministers; these dost thou own, Lord God of Sabaoth! nearest Thy throne. These are Thy messengers; these dost Thou send, Help of the helpless ones! man to defend. 3 Still let them succor us; still let them fight, Lord of angelic hosts! battling for right: Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour, We with the angels may bow and adore.
