Ich grüße dich am Kreuzessatmm

Author: Valentin Ernst Löscher Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Ich grüße dich am Kreuzesstamm Lyrics: 1 Ich grüße dich am Kreuzesstamm, du hochgelobtes Gotteslamm, mit andachtsvollem Herzen. Hier hängst du zwar in lauter Not und bist gehorsam bis zum Tod, vergehst in tausend Schmerzen; doch sieht mein Glaube wohl an dir, daß Gottes Majestät und Zier in diesem Leibe wohne und daß du hier so würdig seist, daß man dich Herr und König heißt als auf dem Ehrenthrone. 2 Ich folge dir durch Tod und Leid, o Herzog meiner Seligkeit, nichts soll mich von dir trennen. Du gehst den engen Weg voran; dein Kreuzestod macht offne Bahn den Seelen, die dich kennen. Ach Jesu, deine höchste Treu macht, daß mir nichts unmöglich sei, da du für mich gestorben; ich scheue nicht den bittern Tod und bin gewiß in aller Not: "Wer glaubt, ist unverdorben."

I Love the Volumes of Thy Word

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 175 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I love the volumes of Thy Word; What light and joy those leaves afford To souls benighted and distressed! Thy precepts guide my doubtful way, Thy fear forbids my feet to stray, Thy promise leads my heart to rest. 2. From the discoveries of Thy law The perfect rules of life I draw; These are my study and delight: Not honey so invites the taste, Nor gold that hath the furnace past Appears so pleasing to the sight. 3. Thy threat’nings wake my slumb’ring eyes, And warn me where my danger lies; But ’tis Thy blessèd Gospel, Lord, That makes my guilty conscience clean, Converts my soul, subdues my sin, And gives a free, but large reward. 4. Who knows the errors of his thoughts? My God, forgive my secret faults, And from presumptuous sins restrain: Accept my poor attempts of praise, That I have read Thy book of grace, And book of nature, not in vain. Used With Tune: OLD 113TH Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Faith of our fathers, taught of old

Author: T. A. Lacey, 1853-1931 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Faith of our fathers, taught of old By faithful shepherds of the fold. The hallowing of our nation; Thou wast through many a wealthy year, Through many a darkened day of fear The rock of our salvation. Arise, arise, good Christian men, Your glorious standard raise again, The Cross of Christ who calls you; Who bids you live and bids you die For his great cause, and stands on high To witness what befalls you. 2 *Our fathers heard the trumpet call Through lowly cot and kingly hall From oversea resounding: They bowed their stubborn wills to learn The truths that live, the thoughts that burn, With new resolve abounding. *Arise, arise, good Christian men, Your glorious standard raise again, The Cross of Christ who guides you; Whose arm is bared to join the fray, Who marshals you in stern array. Fearless, whate'er betides you. 3 Our fathers held the faith received, By Saints declared, by Saints believed. By Saints in death defended; Through pain of doubt and bitterness, Through pain of treason and distress, They for the right contended. Arise, arise, good Christian men, Your glorious standard raise again, The Cross of Christ who bought you; Who leads you forth in this new age With long-enduring hearts to wage The warfare he has taught you. 4 *Though frequent be the loud alarms, Though still we march by ambushed arms Of death and hell surrounded, With Christ for chief we fear no foe, Nor force nor craft can overthrow The Church that he has founded. *Arise, arise, good Christian men, Your glorious standard raise again, The Cross where with he signed you; The King himself shall lead you on, Shall watch you till the strife be done. Then near his throne shall find you.

Erhebet er sich, unser Gott

Author: Matthias Jorissen Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Erhebet er sich, unser Gott, seht, wie verstummt der Frechen Spott, wie seine Feinde fliehen! Sein furchtbar majestät'scher Blick schreckt, die ihn hassen, weit zurück, zerstäubt all ihr Bemühen. Lobsinget Gott, die ihr ihn seht, lobsinget seiner Majestät, macht Bahn ihm, der da fähret mit Hoheit durch die Wüste hin! Herr ist sein Nam, erhebet ihn, jauchzt laut, die ihr ihn ehret. 2 Der Herr, der dort im Himmel wohnt und hier im Heiligtume thront, will unser stets gedenken; will unsrer Waisen Vater sein, will unsrer Witwen Helfer sein, und keiner darf sie kränken. Er ist es, der Verlorne liebt und ihnen eine Wohnung gibt nach einer langen Irre. Er macht sein Volk aus Banden los, er macht es reich, er macht es groß, läßt Sünder in der Dürre. 3 Anbetung, Ehre, Dank und Ruhm sei unserm Gott im Heiligtum, der Tag für Tag uns segnet; dem Gott, der Lasten auf uns legt, doch uns mit unsern Lasten trägt und uns mit Huld begegnet. Sollt ihm, dem Herrn der Herrlichkeit, dem Gott vollkommner Seligkeit, nicht Ruhm und Ehr gebühren? Er kann, er will, er wird in Not vom Tode selbst und durch den Tod uns zu dem Leben führen. 4 Durch deines Gottes Huld allein kannst du geführt und sicher sein; mein Volk, sieh seine Werke! Herr, führ an uns und unserm Haus dein Heil, dein Werk in Gnaden aus, nur du bist unsre Stärke. Dann sehen Herrscher deinen Ruhm und werden in dein Heiligtum dir ihre Gaben bringen, sich dir, dem wahren Gotte, weihn, in deiner Gnade sich erfreun und deinen Ruhm besingen. 5 Gott, machtvoll in dem Heiligtum, erschütternd strahlet hier dein Ruhm, wir fallen vor dir nieder. Der Herr ist Gott, der Herr ist Gott, der Herr ist seines Volkes Gott, er, er erhebt uns wieder. Wie er sein Volk so zärtlich liebt, den Schwachen Kraft und Stärke gibt! Kommt, heiligt seinen Namen! Sein Auge hat uns stets bewacht, ihm sei Anbetung, Ehr und Macht. Gelobt sei Gott! Ja, Amen.

Judges Who Rule the World by Laws

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Judges, who rule the world by laws, will you despise the righteous cause, when in your court poor victims stand? Dare you condemn the righteous poor, and let rich crooks escape secure, while gold and greatness bribe your hand? 2 Have you forgot, or never knew that God will judge the judges too? High in the heav'ns his justice reigns; yet you invade the rights of God and send your bold decrees abroad, to bind the conscience in your chains. 3 A poisoned arrow is your tongue, the arrow sharp, the poison strong, and death attends where'er it wounds: you hear no counsels, cries, or tears, just as the cobra stops her ears against the pow'r of charming sounds. 4 Break out their teeth, eternal God— those teeth of lions dyed in blood— and crush the serpents in the dust: as empty chaff when whirlwinds rise before the sweeping tempest flies, so let their hopes and names be lost. 5 Th' Almighty thunders from the sky, their grandeur melts, their titles die, as hills of snow dissolve and run, or snails that perish in their slime, or births that come before their time, vain births, that never see the sun. 6 Thus shall the vengeance of the LORD true peace and joy to saints afford, and all that hear shall join and say, "There is a God who rules on high, a God who hears his children cry, and will their suff'rings well repay."
