Preserve In Fullest Measure

Author: Andreas Gryphius; H. Brueckner Hymnal: ALH1930 #31 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Preserve in fullest measure Thy truth to us, O Lord; Shield well Thy kingdom's treasure, Its wealth to us afford. Keep Thou our faith from waning, And hope's fair banners bright. That we, sweet comfort gaining, Be saved from error's night. 2 Preserve Thy wondrous glory And turn against the foe; Send forth the Gospel story And let its knowledge grow. To ev'ry erring nation Thy saving grace reveal. That men in ev'ry station May heed its strong appeal. 3 Preserve what Thou hast founded Upon a rock secure; Thou Tow'r of strength unbounded, Lend us protection sure. The Church Thy help engageth When foes around her throng; So when the battle rageth, Be Thee her fortress strong. 4 Preserve to us forever Thy saving Word, O Lord, And may it fail us never, But light and truth afford. O may its living waters Refresh both heart and soul of all Thy sons and daughters Till they have reached the goal. 5 Preserve, when storms are raging, Thy little flock from woe; De Thou, our fears assuaging, Thy help on us bestow. Direct Thy ship, O Master, Thro' waves and tempests sore, That we without disaster May reach yon peaceful shore. Topics: The Means of Grace The Word Languages: English Tune Title: TESCHNER

Precious Word From God In Heaven

Author: Benjamin Schmolk; E. Cronenwett Hymnal: ALH1930 #32 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Precious Word from God in heaven, Full of blessedness to me, All my trust to Thee is given, And my springs all rise in Thee; I in Thee find all I need, That my soul to God can lead. 2 Gracious Spirit, Thou Who showest In the Word the Father's heart, And all needful help bestowest, Light and sense to me impart, That I may the riches see Which God's Word here offers me. 3 In its solemn contemplation From vain cares let me be free, And in prayerful adoration, Stay Thou all my thoughts on Thee, That the world may not annoy While I make Thy Word my joy. 4 What I read, help me to heed it; What Thou sayest, let me do; Strength to faith grant as I need it, And remind me still anew That the faith that counts above Is e'er active here in love. 5 Let Thy grace sustain, protect me, That my ways ne'er from Thee part; Thy enlight'ning Word direct me; Seal this treasure in my heart, That my faith may steadfast prove, Till I walk by sight above.

The Law Of God Is Good And Wise

Author: M. Loy Hymnal: ALH1930 #33 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise And sets His will before our eyes; Shows us the way of righteousness And dooms to death when we transgress. 2 Its light of holiness imparts The knowledge of our sinful hearts, That we may see our lost estate And seek deliv'rance ere too late. 3 To those who help in Christ have found And would in works of love abound, It shows what deeds are His delight And should be done as good and right. 4 When men the offered help disdain And dead in sin and woe remain, Its terror in their ear resounds And keeps their wickedness in bounds. 5 The law is good, but since the fall Its holiness condemns us all: It dooms us for our sins to die And has no pow'r to justify. 6 To Jesus we for refuge flee, Who from the curse has set us free, And humbly worship at His throne, Saved by His grace thro' faith alone.

Unto all the Word is given: Jesus is the way to heaven. 2 Precious Savior, Wondrous favor Hast Thou shown our fallen race. Worlds may falter, Times may alter, Nothing moves Thy Word of grace. With Thy word Thy grace abideth, And for all our needs provideth. 3 By Thy Spirit, Thro' Thy merit, Draw all sinners, Lord, to Thee. Sin and error, Death and terror By Thy word shall vanquished be. Lead us all thro' life’s straight portal, Till we reach the life immortal. Topics: The Means of Grace The Word Languages: English Tune Title: AABERG

The Gospel Shows The Father's Grace

Author: M. Loy Hymnal: ALH1930 #35 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Gospel shows the Father's grace, Who sent His Son to save our race: Proclaims how Jesus lived and died, That man might thus be justified. 2 It sets the Lamb before our eyes, Who made th'atoning sacrifice, And calls the souls with guilt oppressed To come and find eternal rest. 3 It brings the Savior's righteousness Our souls to robe in royal dress; From all our guilt it brings release And gives the troubled conscience peace. 4 It is the pow'r of God to save From sin and Satan and the grave; It works the faith which firmly clings To all the treasures which it brings. 5 It bears to all the tidings glad And bids their hearts no more be sad; The heavy laden soul it cheers And banishes their guilty fears. 6 May we in faith its tidings learn, Nor thanklessly its blessings spurn; May we in faith its truth confess And praise the Lord our Righteousness.

Break Thou The Bread Of Life

Author: Mary A. Lathbury Hymnal: ALH1930 #36 (1930) Meter: 6.4.6.4 D Lyrics: 1.

Teach me to live, dear Lord, Only for Thee, As Thy disciples lived In Galilee; Then, all my struggles o'er, Then vict'ry won, I shall behold Thee, Lord, The living One. Amen.

Jesus Took The Babes And Blessed Them

Author: M. Loy Hymnal: ALH1930 #37 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus took the babes and blessed them, Brought to Him in days of old; Fondly in His arms caressed them, Bade them welcome in His fold; Warmly welcomed, warmly welcomed, When disciples' hearts were cold. 2 Jesus calls them still with kindness Passing ev'ry mortal thought; Bids them come, though human blindness Still would chide when they are brought; Takes and blesses, takes and blesses, Whom He hath so dearly bought. 3 Jesus, we would not forbid them, We would have them brought to Thee; Thou of all their guilt dost rid them, From the curse dost set them free; Thine dost make them, Thine dost make them, Thine let them forever be!

At Jesus' Feet Our Infant Sweet

Author: M. Loy Hymnal: ALH1930 #38 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. At Jesus' feet our infant sweet We lay with all its stain, That renders it for heav'n unmeet Until 'tis born again: We here embrace His proffered grace In this baptismal wave, Nor shall the world our trust efface-- The bath its soul will save. 2. We fail to see the Holy Three Concealed the fount within, Mere water seems the mystery That cleanses us from sin; But who may tell what virtues dwell Thro' God's Word in that flood, Or who the simple faith repel That owns it Jesus' blood? 3. We bring our child by sin defiled, Then, dearest Lord, to Thee; Here clothe it in Thy nature mild, From sin here make it free; And buried here in death severe, To new life may it rise, And trained for Thee, with Thee appear Immortal in the skies. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Sarraments-Holy Baptism Languages: English Tune Title: ELLACOMBE

God, In Human Flesh Appearing

Author: M. Loy; Philipp Friedrich Hiller Hymnal: ALH1930 #39 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 God, in human flesh appearing, Took the children to His breast, Lambs with His green pastures cheering, Fitting for His heav'nly rest; This is gentleness unbounded, This is lowliness of heart; All are by His love surrounded, None are ever bid depart. 2 Lord, I bless Thy mercy endless, For Thy pleasure is to bless; Me, too, when my soul was friendless, Thou didst to Thy bosom press; For I, too, to Thee was given In the pure baptismal wave; There Thou mad'st me heir of heaven, Who hast died my soul to save. 3 Feeble is the love of mother, Father's blessings are as naught When compared, my King and Brother, With the wonders Thou hast wrought; Thus it pleased Thy heav'nly meekness; Pleasing also be my praise, Till my songs of earthly weakness Burst into celestial lays.

Jesus, Savior, Wondrous Mild

Author: H. Brueckner; Benj. Schmolk Hymnal: ALH1930 #40 (1930) Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Jesus, Savior, wondrous mild, On Thy tender grace relying, We present this infant child, With Thy plain behest complying: Children shall to me be given; Theirs the kingdom is of heaven. 2. Nor should we Thy warning scorn, That by water and the Spirit Man must needs be newly born If his soul would fain inherit, As Thy kingdom's sacred treasure, Grace and peace in fullest measure. 3. So we hasten, Lord, to Thee, In our arms this infant bearing; Pledged to Thee O let it be, All Thy tender mercies sharing; Own it as Thy child forever; Naught from Thee its soul shall sever. 4. Now upon Thy heart we lay That which from the heart proceeded; Hear our sighings, Lord, we pray, Let our deep desires be heeded; Write the name that we have given In the book of life in heaven.
