Sinners turn; why will you die?

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a374 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Sinners turn; why will you die? God, your Maker, asks you why; God, who did your being give, Made you with Himself to live: 2 Sinners turn; why will you die? God, your Savior, asks you why: God, who did your souls retrieve, Died Himself that you might live. 3 Will you let Him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again? Why, you ransomed sinners, why Will you slight His grace, and die? 4 Sinners turn; why will you die? God, the Spirit, asks you why; He Who all your lives has striv'n, To direct your souls to heaven. 5 Will ye not His grace receive? Will ye still refuse to live? O you long-sought sinners, why Will you grieve your God and die? Languages: English

Return, O wanderer, return

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a376 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Return, O wanderer, return, And seek an injured Father’s face; Those warm desires that in thee burn, Were kindled by reclaiming grace. 2 Return, O wanderer, return, And seek a Father’s melting heart; His pitying eyes thy grief discern, His hand can heal thy inward smart. 3 Return, O wanderer, return, Thy Savior bids thy spirit live; Go to His bleeding feet, and learn How freely Jesus can forgive. 4 Return, O wanderer, return, And wipe away the falling tear: ’Tis God who says, "No longer mourn," ’Tis mercy’s voice invites thee near.

Hasten, O sinner, to be wise

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a377 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Hasten, O sinner, to be wise, And stay not for the morrow’s sun: The longer wisdom you despise, The harder is she to be won. 2 O hasten mercy to implore, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear thy season should be o’er, Before this evening’s course be run. 3 Hasten, O sinner, to return, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear thy lamp should fail to burn, Before the needful work is done. 4 Hasten, O sinner, to be blest, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear the curse should thee arrest, Before the morrow is begun.

Come to Calv'ry's holy mountain

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a379 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Come to Calv'ry's holy mountain, Sinners ruined by the fall: Here a pure and healing fountain Flows to you, to me, to all, In a full perpetual tide, Opened when our Savior died. 2 Come, in sorrow and contrition, Wounded, impotent and blind; Here the guilty free remission, Here the troubled peace may find; Health this fountain will restore; He that drinks shall thirst no more. 3 He that drinks shall live forever; 'Tis a soul-renewing flood; God is faithful; God will never Break the covenant of His blood, Signed when our Redeemer died, Sealed when He was glorified.

Seems it in my anguish lone

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a412 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Seems it in my anguish lone, As though God forsook His own, Yet I hold this knowledge fast, God will surely help at last. 2 Though awhile it be delayed, He denieth not His aid; Though it come not oft with speed, It will surely come in need. 3 As a father not too soon Grants his child the longed-for boon, So our God gives when He will; Wait His pleasure and be still. 4 I can rest in thoughts of Him, When all courage else grows dim, For I know my soul shall prove His is more than father's love. 5 Would the powers of ill affright, I can smile at all their might; Or the cross be pressing sore, God, my God, lives evermore! 6 Man may hate me causelessly, Man may plot to ruin me, Foes my heart may piecer and rend: God in heaven is still my Friend. 7 Earth may all her gifts deny, Safe my treasure is on high; And if heaven at last be mine, All things else I can resign. 8 I renounce thee willingly, World, I hate what pleases thee, Baneful every gift of thine, Only be my God still mine. 9 Ah Lord, if but Thee I have, Nought of other good I crave, Bright is even death's dark road, If but Thou art there, my God.

When we cannot see our way

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a417 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 When we cannot see our way, Let us trust, and still obey; He who bids us forward go, Cannot fail the way to show. 2 Though the sea be deep and wide, Though a passage be denied; Fearless let us still proceed, Since the Lord vouchsafes to lead. 3 Though it seems the gloom of night, Though we see no ray of light: Since the Lord Himself is there, ‘Tis not meet that we should fear. 4 Night with Him is never night, Where He is, there all is light; When He calls us, why delay? They are happy who obey. 5 Be it ours then while we’re here, Him to follow without fear! Where He calls us, there to go, What He bids us, that to do. Languages: English

Help me, O Lord, to trust in Thee

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a422 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Help me, O Lord, to trust in Thee, Whatever may betide; Though health should fail, and riches flee, Though friends, the dearest far to me, Be taken from my side. 2 I know that sickness, sorrow, death, Lie in the onward way; O help me, in true-hearted faith, To rest on Jesus' word, which saith, "Strength shall be as thy day." 3 In sickness passed, in dangers o'er, My Helper Thou hast been; Then should I, for each coming hour, Trust childlike that thy love and power Support will yield again. 4 Though in that last, that darksome glade, Ends all our earthly view, If but Thy voice, "Be not afraid," Be heard amid its deepening shade, I'll calmly journey through. 5 When this poor heart on Thee I stay, On earth is heaven begun; Then love leads on from day to day In duty's path and helps me say, "Thy will, not mine, be done." 6 Thus would I ever trust in Thee, My Comforter and Guide: For e'en though fears and sins prevail, Thy promises can never fail, Whatever may betide.

O Thou, from whom all goodness flows

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a426 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 O Thou, from whom all goodness flows, I raise my soul to Thee; In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes, Dear Lord, remember me! 2 When on my aching, burdened heart My sins lie heavily, Thy pardon grant, new peace impart: Dear Lord, remember me! 3 When trials sore obstruct my way, And ills I cannot flee, O let my strength be as my day: Dear Lord, remember me! 4 If worn with pain, disease, and grief, This feeble frame shall be; Grant patience, rest, and kind relief: Dear Lord, remember me! 5 When in the solemn hour of death I wait Thy just decree, Be this the prayer of my last breath, Dear Lord, remember me! 6 And when before Thy throne I stand, And lift my soul to Thee, Then, with the saints at Thy right hand, Dear Lord, remember me!

Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a443 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Asleep in Jesus! blessèd sleep! From which none ever wakes to weep; A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes. 2 Asleep in Jesus! O how sweet To be for such a slumber meet! With holy confidence to sing That death hath lost its cruel sting. 3 Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest! Whose waking is supremely blest; No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour That manifests the Savior's power. 4 Asleep in Jesus! O for me May such a blissful refuge be! Securely shall my ashes lie, The summons waiting from on high. 5 Asleep in Jesus! far from thee Thy kindred and their graves may be; But there is still a blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep.
