Lo, in the wilderness a voice

Author: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #170a (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Lo, in the wilderness a voice 'Make straight the way' is crying: When men are turning from the light, And hope and love seem dying, The prophet comes to make us clean: 'There standeth one you have not seen, Whose voice you are denying.' 2 God give us grace to hearken now To those who come to warn us, Give sight and strength, that we may kill The vices that have torn us, Lest love professed should disappear In creeds of hate, contempt, and fear, That crush and overturn us. 3 When from the vineyard cruel men Cast out the heavenly powers And Christendom denies its Lord, The world in ruin cowers. Now come, O God, in thy great might! Unchanged, unchanging is thy right, Unswayed thy justice towers.

O God, If Thy Beloved Son

Author: H. Brueckner; Joh. Heermann Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #173 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 O God, if Thy beloved Son Had not to earth descended, Nor by His death salvation won, My woe would not be ended. This sinful, wretched soul of mine Would then in hell forever pine Because of my transgression. 2 But now sweet peace and rest I find, My soul no more despairing, Since He, the sin of all mankind I wondrous patience bearing, For me has true atonement made, Thine ever righteous wrath allayed, And wrought my soul's salvation. 3 I trust in Him with all my heart, And all my sorrow ceases; His wounds abiding peace impart, His blood from guilt releases, Enables me free grace to gain And washes me from ev'ry stain, that snow-white I am rendered. 4 His blood affords me sure relief, He is my joy forever; Now from Thy love no pain or grief My ransomed soul shall sever. The crown of life, by Thy dear Son For me, a wretched sinner, won. No devil can wrest from me. 5 All human righteousness is vain, Our works can never save us; True righteousness by faith we gain, The blood of Christ's must lave us. His death, that perfect sacrifice, Has paid the all-sufficient price; In Him my hope is anchored. Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Languages: English Tune Title: MONMOUTH

Author: James Hamilton, 1819-96 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #181 (1982) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Across the sky the shades of night This New Year's eve are fleeting. We deck your altar, Lord, with light, In solemn worship meeting: And as the year's last hours go by, We raise to you our earnest cry, Once more your love entreating. 2 Before the cross subdued we bow, To you our prayer addressing, Recounting all your mercies now, And all our sins confessing, Beseeching you this coming year To keep us in your faith and fear, To crown us with your blessing. 3 We gather up in this brief hour The mem'ry of your mercies: Your wondrous goodness, love, and pow'r Our grateful song rehearses; For you have been our strength and stay In many a dark and dreary day Of sorrow and reverses. 4 Then, gracious God, in years to come, We pray your hand may guide us, And, onward through our journey home, Your mercy walk beside us Until at last our ransomed life Is safe from peril, toil, and strife When heav'n itself shall hide us.
