Is this Jesus, then, the Lord

Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Is this Jesus, then, the Lord, Promised since the world began? Ask the blind to sight restored, Ask the lame who leaped and ran; 2 Ask the once loathed leper clean, Ask the dead to life restored: They will tell thee Christ hath been,-- Christ will ever be--the Lord. 3 Say thou, poor man, hath not He, As the prophet spake of old, Preached His Gospel unto thee? Is not this the Christ foretold? 4 Come unto Him, all ye meek, Shun not of His cross the shame: Blest all they His love who seek, Bearing witness to His Name. Used With Tune: PLEYEL'S HYMN Text Sources: Churchman (Z), 1858

I know whom I believe in

Author: Ernst Moritz Arndt Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Redeemer; Sixth Sunday after Epiphany; First Sunday after Easter; Eleventh Sunday after Trinity; Third Sunday of Advent Lyrics: 1 I know whom I believe in, I know what firm abides, When all around me fading Away like vapor glides. I know what lasts forever, When all things shake and fall, When wit the wise forsaketh, And craft doth craft forestall. 2 It is the Light of Glory; It is my Jesus, King; It is the Rock I stand on; It is of this I sing. He never more shall fail me, Deliv'rer, Shepherd mine, He lighteth all my darkness, He makes my path to shine. 3 He whom blood-stained they buried In the still twilight hour, He whom God waked from slumber, He who arose in power: He for my guilt atoneth, To me His Spirit gives, Me with His grace He crowneth: I live because He lives. 4 I know what I believe in, I know what standeth fast, And what, when earth shall crumble, Uncrumbled, still shall last; Through sorrow it bides with me, Mine when to death I bow, In heaven it will assure me A crown to deck my brow.

Why art thou cast down, my soul?

Author: B. Schmolck; H. A. Brorson Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Third Sunday after Epiphany; The Church Year Third Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Why art thou cast down, my soul? O what mean thy sighs and sadness? Trust in Him who makes thee whole, And thy griefs can turn to gladness,-- Often in the darkest hour He reveals His love and power. 2 On this ground thy anchor cast; Safe thou art, in Christ confiding; All the griefs which here thou hast Are but shadows unabiding. Soon thy cross shall pass away, Joy shall come that lasts for aye. 3 Christ's own way is always good, Christians find this consolation: He who bought thee with His blood, Now stands pledged for thy salvation. Rest upon His sacred word-- That assurance doth afford! 4 Jesus gives us joy and tears, Blesséd be His name forever! When thy way most dark appears, Trust in Him, despond thou never; Weary soul, when sore distressed, Call on Him and be at rest. 5 Surely, narrow is the way To the land of gladness yonder; While on this sad earth we stay, We must here as pilgrims wander, Through the desert we must roam, Till we Canaan reach, our home. 6 Upward, then, my weary soul, Where the crown of life is given! Pressing onward to the goal, I shall win the bliss of heaven; For, O Jesus, I am Thine, Blest am I, for Thou art mine! Used With Tune: [Why art thou cast down, my soul?]
