We all believe in one true God

Author: M. Luther Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We all believe in one true God, Maker of all earth and heaven; The Father, who to us in love Hath the right of children given; He both soul and body feedeth, All we want He doth provide us; He through snares and perils leadeth, Watching that no harm betide us; He cares for us by day and night, All things are governed by His might. 2 And we believe in Jesus Christ, His own Son, our Lord, possessing An equal Godhead, throne and might, Through whom comes the Father's blessing; Of the Holy Spirit conceivéd, Born of Mary, virgin-mother, That lost man might life inherit, Made true Man, our Elder Brother, Was crucified by sinful men, And raised by God to life again. 3 Also the Holy Ghost we own, Who sweet grace and comfort giveth, And with the Father and the Son In eternal glory liveth; Who the Christian church doth even Keep in unity of spirit; Sins are truly here forgiven Through the blest Redeemer's merit: All flesh shall rise again, and we Shall live with God eternally.

Fast fades the day

Author: H. A. Brorson Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: O watch and pray Lyrics: 1 O watch and pray, My soul, the way Of safety lies before thee; Lest thou shouldst be led astray, And the foe come o'er thee. 2 Use thou the word Of God, thy Lord; All else is unavailing; Every thought and passion guard With this shield unfailing. 3 O make thy choice The Spirit's voice When He comes to remind thee; Then shall peace thine heart rejoice, Satan get behind thee. 4 One secret thought With evil fraught, Which in the heart was cherished, Havoc of God's grace hath wrought, And the soul hath perished. 5 Our evil mind, To sin inclined, Is drawn by sin around us; If a wicked thought we mind, Satan soon hath bound us. 6 One word from hell Cast its foul spell On Adam with temptation; So by one man all men fell Under condemnation. 7 Each soul astray From Christ, the way, Should keep God's people humble; Jesus warns, "O watch and pray, Lest ye fall and stumble." 8 Be on your guard, Keep watch and ward Beware of Satan's cunning! Watch and pray and trust your Lord Till ye see Him coming!

Brun Meter: 5.11.11.11.11.5.5 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The sun has gone down And peace has descended on country and town; The songbirds in silence have flown to their nest, And flowers are closing their petals in rest; So closes my heart to annoyance and care, In homage and prayer, In homage and prayer. 2 I praise for this day The Father in heaven, who prospered my way, Who shielded from danger, protected from harm, Promoted my labor, and strengthened my arm; For hours that passed lightly as birds on the wing, Thanksgiving I bring, Thanksgiving I bring. 3 Forgive me, O Lord, My sins and transgressions in deed and in word! Thou knowest my heart and my innermost thought, The words I have spoken, the deeds I have wrought, My errors and failings I deeply regret, Forgive and forget! Forgive and forget! 4 I ask for no more; My light I extinguish and fasten the door, And seeking my chamber, betake me to rest, Assured that my slumber this night will be blest, I fondly confide to Thy care and control My body and soul, My body and soul.

In heaven is joy and gladness

Author: J. N. Brun Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In heaven is joy and gladness, But while I sojourn here, So often, bowed in sadness, I shed the bitter tear. Here ills, alway prevailing, Distress the Savior's bride; Here mirth is lost in wailing; In heaven but joys abide. 2 I do not strive for pleasures That fools pursue on earth, I sow in tears for treasures That have more lasting worth. If, when my journey endeth, The sheaves I gather in, The bliss the fool pretendeth I do not yearn to win. 3 For I shall see my Jesus, He is my hope and stay; The cross that me oppresses Anon He takes away. Then nothing more shall grieve me, And no adversity Shall of my joy bereave me; Soon I shall Jesus see.

As with gladness men of old

Dix Appears in 661 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold, As with joy they hail'd its light, Leading onward, beaming bright, So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped, To that lowly manger-bed, There to bend the knee before Him whom heaven and earth adore, So may we with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare, So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus! every day Keep us in the narrow way; And when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. 5 In the heavenly country bright, Need they no created light; Thou its light, its joy, its crown, Thou its sun which goes not down; There forever may we sing Hallelujahs to our King.
