Heav'nly Father, Jesus taught us

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D., 1880 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Prayer Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Father, Jesus taught us Trustingly to call Thee ours; Lovingly Thy mercy sought us Early in life's tender hours. Thou from Satan's realm hast sav'd us, Hast adopted us Thine own; In baptismal water lav'd us, Given us a fadeless crown. 2 Heavenly Father, Jesus taught us Thus to call Thee, in His name; His enduring merits wrought us Graciously this childhood's claim: Then with 'Abba, Father!' come we, Place us wholly in Thy care; O, let naught e'er wrest us from Thee! Heed and hear Thy children's prayer. 3 Heavenly Father, Jesus taught us That, where Thou art, we shall be; Hence the Holy Spirit brought us Unto child-like faith in Thee. In Thy house are mansions spacious, For the many ransomed blest! Take us then, O Father gracious! There are home, sweet peace, and rest. Used With Tune: AUSTRIA

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 180 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Catechetical Instruction Lyrics: 1 Let children hear the mighty deeds Which God performed of old, Which in our younger years we saw, And which our fathers told. 2 He bids us make His glories known, His works of power and grace; And will convey His wonders down, Through every rising race. 3 Our lips shall tell them to our sons, And they again to theirs That generations yet unborn May teach them to their heirs. 4 Thus learn that in our God alone Their hope securely stands, That they may ne'er forget His works, But practice His commands.

Of Zion's honor angels sing!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Ministry Lyrics: 1 Of Zion's honor angels sing! In Zion Christ alone is King; In grace He rules with gentle sway, And leads her heavenward, day by day. 2 And Zion knows no other Lord, But cleaves alone to His pure Word: To her suffices: "Jesus saith!"-- This is her source and rule of faith. 3 To her He gave the Power of Keys, To bind and loose as He decree; Through her He wishes sins forgiven, And sinner made fit heirs of heaven. 4 Hence He apostles, prophets, sent To her, with Word and Sacrament-- And He gives servants of the Word, To serve the Church and Christ her Lord. 5 God Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Adored by all the heavenly host, We bow in Zion at Thy throne,-- No other God and Lord we own.

Our nature fell in Adam's fall

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Justification Lyrics: 1 Our nature fell in Adam's fall, One common sin infects us all, From sire to son the bane descends, And over all the curse impends 2 Corruption creeps through all our powers, And withers all life's heavenly flowers; In guilt we draw our earliest breath, And reap its fruits of woe and death. 3 From hearts depraved, to evil prone, Flow thoughts and deed of sin alone; God's image lost, the darkened soul Nor seeks nor finds its heavenly goal. 4 But Christ, the second Adam, came To bear our sin and woe and shame, To be our life, and by His grace To new-create our fallen race. 5 Thanks, Savior! that new life is ours, That grace has changed our broken powers; O, still that saving grace extend, To make us steadfast to the end.

Savior! who Thy flock art feeding

Appears in 371 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Christian Household Lyrics: 1 Saviour! Who Thy flock art feeding, With the shepherd's kindest care, All the feeble gently leading, While the lambs Thy bosom share. 2 Here our little ones receiving, Fold them in Thy gracious arm; There we know them, Lord, believing, Only there secure from harm. 3 Never, from Thy pasture roving, Let them be the lion's prey; Let Thy tenderness, so loving, Keep them all life's dang'rous way; 4 Then, within Thy fold eternal, Let them find a resting place, Feed in pastures ever vernal, Drink the rivers of Thy grace.

Since now the day hath reached its close

Author: Johann Friederich Herzog Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Evening Lyrics: 1 Since now the day hath reached its close, And sunlight shines no more, In sleep the toil-worn find repose, And all who wept before. 2 But Thou, my Lord, no rest dost know, No slumber dims Thy sight, Thou hatest darkness as Thy foe, Since Thou Thyself art light. 3 O Lord, I pray, remember me Throughout the shades of night, And grant to me most graciously The shield of Thy great might. 4 And foil Thou Satan's purpose fell Through Thy swift angel-arm, Then free from care, I'll rest me well And safe from every harm. 5 I feel indeed through guilt undone, It cried aloud to Thee: But yet, the mercy from Thy Son Hath full atoned for me. 6 Him I present Thee as my Bail, While suppliant at Thy feet, With such assurance I'll not fail Before Thy judgement-seat. 7 Away, vain, idle thoughts depart! Roam not my soul abroad; For now I build within my heart A temple to my God. 8 And hereupon my eyes I close, And fall asleep heart-glad; My God doth watch o'er my repose, Why should my heart be sad? 9 And thus I live and die to Thee, Thou Sabaoth strong, indeed! In life and death Thou helpest me From every fear and need. 10 Should this night prove the last for me In this dark vale of tears, Then lead me, Lord, in heaven to Thee And my elect compeers.

Give me, O Lord, a spirit lowly

Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Daily Duty Lyrics: 1 Give me, O Lord, a spirit lowly, That seeks to praise Thy name alone; Let faith make all my conduct holy, And love in all my life be shown: Tame Thou whate'er in me is wild, And own me always as Thy child. 2 Let me not aim beyond my measure, But in my place be still content; To do Thy will be all my pleasure, For this let all my life be spent; And if my duties lowly be, Let this suffice,--they honor Thee!

Christ's crimson blood and rightedousness

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Justification Lyrics: 1 Christ's crimson blood and righteousness My glory are and spotless dress; In this before my God I'll stand And enter heaven, my fatherland. 2 And should I through Christ's merits prove Yet e'er so faithful in my love, That I could keep from wrong alway And sin not, to my dying day, 3 Still would I, when I Christ shall see, Not think of zeal or piety, But this: a sinner nears the throne Whose plea for life is grace alone. 4 Being praised, O Jesus, without end, That Thou from heaven didst descend, And hast for me a ransom paid— For a full atonement made.

Almighty Lord of earth and heaven

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Decalogue Lyrics: 1 Almighty Lord of earth and heaven, The Ten Commandments Thou hast given Reveal how wicked I have been, And make me dread the curse of sin. 2 I've loved the creature more than Thee, And sinned against Thy majesty; My love and trust to Thee denied, On self and man my soul relied. 3 My lips have oft, from heart profane, Employed Thy holy name in vain; Forgetful of Thy cov'nant grace, How seldom have I sought Thy face! 4 In sinful cares or work, or play, I've often spent Thy holy day, Despised Thy Word, strayed from Thy fold, And left Thy benefits untold. 5 My parents oft I've disobeyed, Their good with evil deeds repaid: I've been unchaste in word and deed, And careless of my neighbor's need.
