Jesus Christ, My Sure Defense

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #266 (1982) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure defense And my Savior, now is living! Knowing this, my confidence Rests upon the hope here given Though the night of death be caught Still in many an anxious thought. 2 Jesus, my redeemer, lives; Likewise I to life shall waken. He will bring me where he is; Shall my courage then be shaken? Shall I fear, or could the head Rise and leave his members dead? 3 No, I am too closely bound By my hope to Christ forever; Faith's strong hand the rock has found, Grasped it, and will leave it never; Even death now cannot part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4 I am flesh and must return To the dust, whence I am taken; But by faith I now discern That from death I will awaken With my Savior to abide In his glory, at his side. 5 Then these eyes my Lord will know, My redeemer and my brother; In his love my soul will glow-- I myself and not another! Then the weakness I feel here Will forever disappear. 6 Then take comfort and rejoice, For his members Christ will cherish. Fear not, they will hear his voice; Dying, they will never perish; For the very grave is stirred When the trumpet's blast is heard. 7 Oh, then, draw away your hearts From all pleasures base and hollow. Strive to share what he imparts While you here his footsteps follow. As you now still wait to rise, Fix your hearts beyond the skies.

Jesus Sinners Doth Receive

Author: Erdmann Neumeister Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #473 (1990) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 "Jesus sinners doth receive:" word of surest consolation; word all sorrow to relieve, word of pardon, peace, salvation! Naught like this can comfort give: "Jesus sinners doth receive." 2 On God's grace we have no claim, yet to us his pledge is given; he hath sworn by his own name, open are the gates of heaven. Take to heart this word and live: "Jesus sinners doth receive." 3 When a helpless lamb doth stray, after it, the Shepherd, pressing thro' each dark and dang'rous way, brings it back, his own possessing. Jesus seeks thee, O believe: "Jesus sinners doth receive." 4 Oh, how blest it is to know: were as scarlet my transgression, it shall be as white as snow by thy blood and bitter passion; for these words I now believe: "Jesus sinners doth receive." 5 Now my conscience is at peace, from the Law I stand acquitted; Christ hath purchased my release and my every sin remitted. Naught remains my soul to grieve - "Jesus sinners doth receive."
