Forsake me not, my God

Author: Solomon Frank, d. 1725; Unknown Meter: 6.7 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forsake me not, my God, Thou God of my salvation! Give me thy light, to be My sure illumination. My soul to folly turns, Seeking she knows not what: O lead her to Thyself; My God, forsake me not! 2 Forsake me not, my god! Take not Thy Spirit from me, And suffer not the might Of sin to overcome me. A father pitieth The children be begot; My Father, pity me! My God, forsake me not! 3 Forsake me not, my God, Thou God of life and power! Enliven, strengthen me, In every evil hour: And when the sinful fire Within my heart is hot, Be not Thou far from me: My God, forsake me not! 4 Forsake me not, my God! Uphold me in my going, That evermore I may Please Thee in all well-doing; And that Thy will, O Lord, May never be forgot In all my works and ways: My God, forsake me not! 5 Forsake me not, my God! I would be Thine for ever: Confirm me mightily In every right endeavor: And when my hour is come, Cleansed from all stain and spot Of sin, receive my soul: My God, forsake me not!

Herr Jesu, Der Du Selbst

Author: Eberhard L. Fischer Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Herr Jesu, der du selbst Von Gott als Lehrer kommen Und, was du aus dem Schoss Des Vaters hast genommen, Den rechten Weg zu Gott Mit Wort und Werk gelehrt, Sei für dein Predigtamt Gelobt von deiner Herd’! 2 Du bist zwar in die Höh’ Zum Vater aufgefahren, Doch gibst du noch der Welt Dein Wort mit grossen Scharen Und baust durch diesen Dienst Die Kirche, deinen Leib, Dass er im Glauben wachs’ Und fest ans Ende bleib’. 3 Hab’ Dank für dieses Amt, Durch das man dich selbst höret, Das uns den Weg zu Gott Und die Versöhnung lehret, Durchs Evangelium Ein Häuflein in der Welt Berufet, sammelt, stärkt, Lehrt, tröstet und erhält! 4 Erhalt uns diesen Dienst Bis an das End’ der Erden, Und weil die Ernte gross, Gross’ Arbeit und Beschwerden, Send selbst Arbeiter aus Und mach sie klug und treu, Dass Feld und Sä’mann gut, Die Ernte reichlich sei! 5 Die du durch deinen Ruf Der Kirche hast gegeben, Erhalt bei reiner Lehr’ Und einem heil’gen Leben! Leg deinen Geist ins Herz, Das Wort in ihren Mund! Was jeder reden soll, Das gib du ihm zur Stund’! 6 Ach segne all dein Wort Mit Kraft an unsern Seelen! Lass deinen Schäflein nie An guter Weid’ es fehlen; Such das verirrte selbst, Bind das verwund’te zu, Das schlafende weck auf, Das müde bring zur Ruh’! 7 Bewahr vor Ketzerei, Vor Menschenlehr’ und Dünkel! Lehr uns nach deiner Art Im Tempel, nicht im Winkel! Behüt vor Ärgernis, Vor Spaltung, die uns trennt; Erhalte rein und ganz Dein Wort und Sakrament! 8 Bring, was noch draussen ist, Zu deiner kleinen Herde! Was drinnen ist, erhalt, Dass es gestärket werde! Dring durch mit deinem Wort, Bis einstens Hirt und Herd’ Im Glauben, Herr, an dich Zusammen selig werd’!

Author: Salomo Franck; Henry Eyler Jacobs Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Forsake me not, my God, Thy gracious hand extend me! O Father, lead Thy child; Where'er I go, defend me! My steps are turned towards home; Lighten the darksome road: My Guide, my Guard, my All; Forsake me not, my God! 2 Forsake me not, my God! Restrain, confirm, direct me, Control my tottering feet, From sinful falls protect me; The Holy Spirit grant; And, 'neath the heaviest load, Be Thou my Strength and Stay: Forsake me not, my God! 3 Forsake me not, my God! In every trying hour, O King of kings, be nigh With Thy resistless power! Against the tempter's arts, Thy mighty aid afford, That I may never yield; Forsake me not, my God! 4 Forsake me not, my God! Help me, Thy Word believing, To keep through life Thy faith, In death Thy crown receiving. I long to see Thy face, To dwell in Thine abode, To know Thee as Thou art; Forsake me not, my God! Amen.

What Is The World To Me

Author: Georg M. Pfefferkorn, 1646-1732; H. Brueckner Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What is the world to me With all its vaunted pleasure, If I but Thee may own, Lord Jesus, for my Treasure? Thou only, dearest Friend, My Fount of joy shalt be; To Thee I look for rest -- What is the world to me? 2 The world would fain be praised By men of wealth and power, But never ponders well How soon shall pass their hour; What I shall glory in Is Jesus, only He; His praise alone I seek-- What is the world to me? 3 The world is wont to crave The things that mammon offers, Yet never feels content Tho' gold fill all its coffers; I know a higher Good, In Jesus I can see A sweet content in store-- What is the world to me? 4 The world is wont to grieve When out of honor cheated, Or when its idle fame Has sorely been depleted; But I shall bear reproach, And this my boast shall be: I suffer for my Lord-- What is the world to me? 5 The world its tainted joy Is evermore extolling, Though while on pleasure bent, From grace it may be falling. Let him who loves the world Its boon companion be; I love my Lord and God-- What is the world to me? 6 What is the world to me? Are not its treasures waning? In Jesus I alone A crown of joy am gaining; He is my wealth, my all, I shall His kingdom see In yonder realms of bliss-- What is the world to me?
