Vanish Doubt and Hesitation!

Author: Johann Adolph Schlegel; Samuel Magnus Hill Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Vanish doubt and hesitation! My Redeemer is the Lord. Hearken to His invitation By the Spirit and the Word. Clearly He perceives thy anguish; O my soul, why longer languish! Although I am weak and ill, God remains my Father still. 2 He will pity and relieve me, Who can then condemn my soul? Satan and the world deceive me, Jesus Christ will make me whole. Why, then, should my heart accuse me, Or my conscience still confuse me? God the Father makes me free, And His Spirit comforts me. 3 Jesus Christ for me has suffered, And by faith He is my own. Satisfaction He has offered, And the way to heaven shown. Through His full propitiation I have free and full salvation. He has conquered death and hell; He has thus made all things well. 4 In His merit now confiding, I look up to Him with joy; For His promise is abiding-- Who can now my peace destroy? Weal nor woe shall e'er deprive me Of the portion that He gave me. My Redeemer, Lord divine, I am Thine, forever Thine. Amen.

Hast To The Plow Thou Put Thy Hand

Author: J. C. Aaberg; N. F. S. Grundtvig Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hast to the plow thou put thy hand, Let not thy spirit waver. Heed not the world’s allurements grand Nor pause for Sodom’s favor. But plow thy furrow, sow thy seed, Tho' tares and thorns thy work impede; For he who sows with weeping Shall soon in joy be reaping. 2 But should at times thy courage fail,-- For human strength may falter-- Let not the tempting world prevail On thee thy course to alter. He that would win must forward go; Retreat can bring thee naught but woe; When foes bid thee defiance, On God be thy reliance. 3 If to the course we faithful keep, The race will soon be ended; Yea, death itself is but a sleep, Its veil shall soon be rended. Then those who conquer in the strife Obtain the victor's crown of life And dwell in constant gladness, Forgetting all their sadness. 4 Press onward then in Jesus' name, Tho' thorns and rocks enclose thee; Yea, forward, tho' with sword and flame The bitter foe oppose thee. Thus shalt thou win the glorious prize And dwell with God in Paradise, To drink, on Zion's mountain, From life's eternal fountain. Topics: The Christian Life Service Used With Tune: GLASER

All men Living Are But Mortal

Author: Johann G. Albinus; Catherine Winkworth; Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All men living are but mortal, Yea, all flesh must fade as grass; Only thro' death’s gloomy portal To eternal life we pass. This frail body here must perish Ere the heav’nly love joys it cherish, Ere it gain the free reward For the ransomed of the Lord. 2 Therefore, when my God doth choose it, Willingly I’ll yield my life Nor will grieve that I should lose it, For with sorrows it was rife. In my dear Redeemer’s merit Peace hath found my troubled spirit, And in death my comfort this: Jesus’ death my source of bliss. 3 Jesus for my sake descended My salvation to obtain; Death and hell for me are ended, Peace and hope are now my gain; Yea, with joy I leave earth’s sadness For the home of heav’nly gladness, Where I shall forever see God, the Holy Trinity. 4 There is joy beyond our telling, Where so many saints have gone; Thousands, thousands, there are dwelling, Worshiping before the throne, There the seraphim are shining, Evermore in chorus joining: "Holy, holy, holy Lord! Triune God, for aye adored!" 5 Patriarchs of sacred story And the prophets there are found; The apostles, too, in glory On twelve seats are there enthroned. All the saints that have ascended Age on age, through time extended, There in blissful concert sing Hallelujahs to their King. 6 O Jerusalem, how glorious Dost thou shine, thou city fair! Lo, I hear the tones victorious Ever sweetly sounding there. Oh, the bliss that there surprises! Lo, the sun of morn now rises, And the breaking day I see That shall never end for me. 7 Yea, I see what here was told me, See that wondrous glory shine, Feel the spotless robes enfold me, Know a golden crown is mine. Thus before the throne so glorious Now I stand a soul victorious, Gazing on that joy for aye That shall never pass away. Amen.

Gracious Lord, thou hast defended, Nurtured, watered, guarded, tended This so precious seed of Thine, Springing up in soil divine. 2 Lo, Thy field its fruits has yielded, Where Thy kingdom's seed was sown; gospel rain from drought has shielded, Pentecostal winds have blown; Where Thy Sun of Grace in splendor Shed its warming rays so tender, There Thy seed has taken root, There it blossomed into fruit. 3 Guard Thy gospel field, dear Master, Tares abound upon the soil. Save Thy harvest from disaster, Let no foe Thy seed despoil. When, upon Thy glad returning, Tares and chaff are doomed to burning, Then within Thy garner, Lord, May the precious wheat be stored.

The world in condemnation lay

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: The world in condemnation lay, And death, from Adam reigning, O'er man maintain'd remorseless sway, While sin his soul enchaining, Foredoom'd the second death to all That shared the ruins of the fall; But Christ's triumphant mission Redeem'd us from perdition. 63 Then round His manger let us throng, Attend Him in temptation, Carry our cross with joy along His path of tribulation; With Him to Olivet retire, On Calvary at His feet expire; Then, on Mount Zion seated, Our bliss shall be completed.

Conquering Prince and King of glory

Author: G. Tersteegen Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Conquering Prince and King of glory, Majesty sublimely bright! Heaven and all the heavens adore Thee, Throned above their farthest height. Shall I not, enraptured gazing, At Thy feet fall prostrate, praising, When mine eyes, by faith alight, Mark Thy glory and Thy might? 2 Far on high art Thou ascended, Sitting at Thy Father's right, Pure, seraphic voices blended, Crying, Glory! at the sight. Shall I not fall down before Thee, And with joyful heart adore Thee, When the heavens exultant ring With the triumph of my King? 3 Far and wide Thy brightness spreading Lights the land whose sun Thou art, Nobler bliss and glory shedding On each heavenly spirit's heart. There in highest glory seated, By rejoicing angels greeted; Here, though child of earth, I cry Hallelujah! Lord most high! 4 Of Thy cup shall I be fearful When Thy glory whelms my sight? Shall my courage not be cheerful When I recognize Thy might? Lord, I trust Thee, though Thou slay me; Now, not earth and hell dismay me. Thou my King, my Savior thou, At Thy name alone I bow. 5 Might and spirit now o'erflowing, With Thy power perform Thy word. All Thine enemies o'erthrowing, Make Thy foes Thy footstool, Lord. O'er the earth, O Judah's Lion, Send the scepter out of Zion, Spread Thy sway from sea to sea, Till the earth acknowledge Thee. 6 Throned on high, and all things filling, Thou art with us evermore. Now my soul, with rapture thrilling, Opens wide for Thee its door. Come, O come, Thou King of glory; 'Stablish Thy dominion 'er me; Live in me and reign alone, As upon Thy heavenly throne. 7 Thou ascended, gifts art giving; God and heaven are inly near. By Thee in the Spirit living, I shall stand before Thee there. Alien here to time and senses, Hid in Thee from their offenses; Set in heavenly place with Thee, Jesus, Thou art joy to me.

Hark, A Voice Saith, All Are Mortal

Author: Joh. Rosenmüller; Catherine Winkworth; H. Brueckner Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark, a voice saith, all are mortal, Yea, all flesh must fade as grass; Only through a death-rent portal To a better world ye pass; Dust to dust must sink inglorious Ere this body rise victorious To the realms of life and light, Won for saints thro' Jesus' might. 2 Therefore, when my Father chooses, Willingly my life I'll yield; He but gains, nay, never loses, Who with Jesus quits the field; For in my Redeemer's merit Peace has found my troubled spirit, And in death my comfort this: Jesus' death assures me bliss. 3 In those bright celestial regions All is life and peace and joy; Souls are there in countless legions, Happy in the Lord's employ. There the Seraphim are dwelling Who, in holiness excelling, Praise with heaven's mighty host Father, Son and Holy Ghost. 4 There the patriarchs are living, There the prophets all abide, There th'apostles, homage giving, Ever dwell at Jesus' side. There the Lord's whole congregation Has its place of habitation; There, to honor God, their King, All their hallelujahs sing. 5 O blest city of the sainted, Wondrous fair Jerusalem, How thy beauty, pure, unattained, Sparkles like a precious gem! What sweet voices there are sounding, And what joys are there abounding! Night shall never follow day, Light from God will shine for aye.

The Scene Around Me Disappears

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The scene around me disappears, And, borne to ancient regions, While time recalls the flight of years, I see angelic legions Descending in an orb of light, Amidst the dark and silent night, I hear celestial voices. 2 Tidings, glad tidings, from above, To every age and nation; Tidings, glad tidings—God is love; To man He sends salvation; His Son beloved, His only Son, The work of mercy hath begun; Give to His name the glory. 3 Through David’s city I am led; Here all around are sleeping; A light directs to yon poor shed, Where lonely watch is keeping; I enter—ah! what glories shine! Is this Immanuel’s earthly shrine? Messiah’s infant temple? 4 It is; it is—and I adore This Stranger meek and lowly, As saints and seraphs bow before The throne of God thrice holy; Faith through the veil of flesh can see The face of Thy divinity, My Lord, my God, my Savior!

Death in all this world prevaileth

Author: J. G. Albinus Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Death in all this world prevaileth: Human life, a summer flower; Blooms at morn,at even faileth, But there comes a brighter hour. When o'er death shall rise victorious, And appear in forms more glorious, To a better life restored, Who have loved and served their Lord. 2 Jesus yielded up His spirit, And His ransomed people gain Life eternal by His merit; Death has armed his sting in vain. For the unfettered soul ascendeth To the world which never endeth, There without a veil to see God's true face eternally. 3 There is life that knows no sadness, There, a numberless array, White-robed denizens of gladness, Unto God their homage pay: Choir aloud to choir rejoices, Seraphs with delighted voices Holy, holy, holy, sing To their Triune God and King. 4 There the patriarchs abiding, There the prophets all have rest, There the noble twelve residing In their Master's love are blest; There the saints in holy splendor To the Lamb their praises render, Harping sweet in solemn strains "Hallelujah! Jesus reigns."
