Jerusalem, thou city fair and high
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a468 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city fair and high,
Would God I were in thee!
My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly,
It will not stay with me;
Far over vale and mountain,
It hastes to seek its Fountain,
And quit this world of pain.
2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour,
When wilt you come at last,
When fearless to my Father's love and power,
Whose promise standeth fast,
My soul I gladly render,
For surely will His hand
Lead her, with guidance tender,
To heaven, her fatherland.
3 A moment's space, and gently, wondrously,
Released from earthly ties,
The fiery care shall bear her up to thee,
Through all these lower skies,
To yonder shining regions,
Where down, to meet her, come
The blessed angel-legions,
And bid her welcome home.
4 O Zion, hail! Bright city, now unfold
The gates of grace to me!
How many a time I longed for thee of old,
Ere yet I was set free
From yon dark life of sadness,
Yon world of shadowy nought,
And God had given the gladness,
The heritage I sought.
5 O what the tribe, or what the glorious host,
Comes sweeping swiftly down?
The chosen ones of earth who wrought the most,
The Church's brightest crown,
Our Lord hath sent to meet me,
As in the far off years
Their words oft came to greet me,
In yonder land of tears.
6 The Patriarchs' and Prophets' noble train,
With all Christ's followers true,
Who bore the cross and could the worst disdain
That tyrants dared to do,
I see them shine forever,
All glorious as the sun,
'Mid light that fadeth never,
Their perfect freedom won.
7 And when within that lovely Paradise
And last I safely dwell,
From out my soul what songs of bliss shall rise,
What joy my lips shall tell,
While holy saints are singing
Hosannas o'er and o'er,
Pure hallelujah's ringing,
Around me evermore.
8 Innumerous choirs before the shining throne
With harp and trumpet raise
Glad notes, till heav'ns vast halls vibrate the tone
Of their melodious praise,
And all its host rejoices,
And all its blessed throng
Unite their myriad voices
In one eternal song! Languages: English
Jerusalem, thou city fair and high
Now thank we all our God
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #359 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Now thank we all our God,
With heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done,
In whom His world rejoices;
Who from our mothers' arms
Has blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours to-day.
2 O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us in His grace,
And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills
In this world and the next.
3 All praise and thanks to God,
The Father, now be given,
The Son, and Him who reigns,
With them in highest heaven
The One eternal God,
Whom earth and heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore! Languages: English
Now thank we all our God
O bless the Lord, my soul!
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #363 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 O bless the Lord, my soul!
Let all within me join,
And aid my tongue to bless His name
Whose favors are divine.
2 'Tis He forgives thy sins;
'Tis He relieves thy pain;
'Tis He that heals thy sicknesses,
And gives thee strength again.
3 He crowns thy life with love,
When rescued from the grave;
He, that redeemed my souls from death,
Hath boundless power to save.
4 He fills the poor with good,
He gives the suff'rers rest;
The Lord hath justice for the proud,
And mercy for th'oppressed.
5 His wondrous works and ways
He made by Moses known;
But sent the world His truth and grace
By His beloved Son.

And every pain and sorrow stills:

2 The angel host, O King of kings,
Thy praise forever telling,
In earth and sky all living things
Beneath Thy shadow dwelling,
Adore the wisdom which could span,
And power which formed, Creation's plan:
To God all praise and glory!
3 What God's almighty power hath made,
His gracious mercy keepeth;
By morning dawn or evening shade,
His watchful eye ne'er sleepeth;
Within the kingdom of His might,
Lo, all is just and all is right:
To God all praise and glory!
4 I cried to God in my distress,
His mercy heard me calling;
My Savior saw my helplessness
And kept my feet from falling;
For this, Lord, praise and thanks to Thee!
Praise God, I say, praise God with me!
To God all praise and glory!
5 When every earthly hope has flown
From sorrow's sons and daughters,
Our Father from His heavenly throne,
Beholds the troubled waters;
And at His Word the storm is stayed,
Which made His children's heart afraid;
To God all praise and glory!
6 Thus all my pilgrimage along
I'll sing aloud Thy praises,
That men may hear the grateful song
My voice unwearied raises:
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart!
Both soul and body, bear your part:
To God all praise and glory! Languages: English
Sing praise to God who reigns above
When all Thy mercies, O my God
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #369 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
from whom those comforts flowed.
3 When in the slippery paths of youth
With heedless steps I ran,
Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe,
And led me up to man.
4 Ten thousand, thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart
That tastes those gifts with joy.
5 Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I'll pursue;
And after death, in distant worlds
The glorious theme renew.
6 Through all eternity, to Thee
A grateful song I'll raise;
But oh! eternity's too short
to utter all Thy praise.

The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God?
A fountain is opened; how canst thou refuse
To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood?

Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight,
And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race,
To sink in the vale of eternity's night. Languages: English

Thou shalt reap the fruits in joy.

Puts the seed into thy hand;
Sow thou then, let Him be Mower,
Till thou reap in fatherland. Languages: English
He that goeth forth with weeping
