O living Bread from heaven

Author: J. Rist Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #148 (1913) Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 O living Bread from heaven, How hast Thou fed Thy guest! The gifts Thou now hast given Have filled my heart with rest. O wondrous food of blessing, O cup that heals our woes! My heart this gift possessing, In thankful song o’erflows. 2 My Lord, Thou here hast led me Within Thy holiest place, And there Thyself hast fed me With treasures of Thy grace: And Thou hast freely given, What earth could never buy,-- The bread of Life from heaven, That now I shall not die. 3 Thou gav'st all I wanted, The power can death destroy; And Thou has freely granted The cup of endless joy. Ah, Lord, I do not merit The favor Thou hast shown, And all my soul and spirit Bow down before Thy throne. 4 Lord, grant me that, thus strengthened With heavenly food, while here My course on earth is lengthened, I serve with holy fear; And when Thou call’st my spirit To leave this world below, I enter, through Thy merit, Where joys unmingled flow.

O how shall I receive Thee

Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #157 (1913) Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 O how shall I receive Thee, How meet Thee on Thy way; Blest hope of every nation, My soul's delight and stay? Jesus, Jesus, give me, By Thine illuming light, To know whate'er is pleasing And welcome in Thy sight. 2 Thy Zion palms is strewing, And branches fresh and fair; And every soul awaking, Her anthem shall prepare; Perpetual thanks and praises Forth from our hearts shall spring; And to Thy name the service Of all our powers we bring. 3 O ye who sorrow, sinking Beneath your grief and pain, Rejoice in His appearing, Who shall your souls sustain: He comes, He come with gladness! How great is His good-will! He comes, all grief and anguish Shall at His word be still. 4 Ye who with guilty terror Are trembling, fear no more: With love and grace the Savior Shall you to hope restore; He comes, who contrite sinners Will with the children place, The children of His Father, The heirs of life and grace. 5 He comes, the Lord, to judgment; Woe, woe to them who hate! To those who love and seek Him He opes the heavenly gate. Come quickly, gracious Savior, And gather us to Thee, That in the light eternal Our joyous home may be.

Rejoice, rejoice, ye Christians

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #197 (1913) Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, ye Christians, With all your hearts, this morn! O hear the blessed tidings, "The Lord, the Christ, is born," Now brought us by the angels That stand about God's throne; Oh lovely are the voices That make such tidings known! 2 O hearken to their singing! This Child shall be your friend; The Father so hath willed it, That thus your woes should end. The Son is freely given, That in Him ye may have The Father's grace and blessing, And know He loves to save. 3 Nor deem the form too lowly That clothes Him at this hour; For know ye what it hideth? 'Tis God's almighty power. Though now within the manger So poor and weak He lies, He is the Lord of all things, He reigns above the skies. 4 Sin, death, and hell, and Satan Have lost the victory; This Child shall overthrow them, As ye shall surely see. Their wrath shall naught avail them; Fear not, their reign is o'er; This Child shall overthrow them,-- O hear, and doubt no more!

If God Himself be for me

Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #272 (1913) Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 If God Himself be for me, I may a host defy, For when I pray, before me My foes confounded fly: If Christ, the Head, befriend me, If God be my support, The mischief they intend me Shall quickly come to naught. 2 This I believe--yea, rather, In this I make my boast, That God is my dear Father, The griend who loves me most; And that, whate'er betide me, My Savior is at hand, Through stormy seas to guide me And bring me safe to land. 3 I build on this foundation,-- That Jesus and His blood Alone are my salvation, The true, eternal good: Without Him, all that pleases Is valueless on earth; The gifts I owe to Jesus Alone my love are worth. 4 His Holy Spirit dwelleth Within my willing heart, Tames it when it rebelleth, And soothes the keenest smart: He crowns His work with blessing, And helpeth me to cry, "My Father!" without ceasing, To Him who dwells on high. 5 And when my soul is lying Weak, trembling, and oppressed, He pleads with groans and sighing That cannot be expressed; But God's quick eye discerns them Although they give no sound, And into language turns them, E'en in the heart's deep ground. 6 To mine His Spirit speaketh Sweet words of soothing power, How God to him that seeketh For rest, hath rest in store: There God Himself prepareth My heritage and lot, And though my body weareth, My heaven shall fail me not. 7 Who clings with resolution To Him whom Satan hates, Must look for persecution Which never here abates; Reproaches, griefs and losses Rain fast upon his head, A thousand plagues and crosses Become his daily bread. 8 All this I am prepared for, Yet am I not afraid; By Thee shall all be cared for, To whom my vows were paid: Though life and limb it cost me, And all the earthly store Which once so much engrossed me,-- I love Thee all the more. 9 Not fire, nor sword, nor thunder, Shall sever me from Thee; Though earth be rent asunder, Thou'rt mine eternally: Not hunger, thirst, nor danger, Not pain, or pinching want, Nor mighty princes' anger, My fearless soul shall daunt. 10 No angel, and no gladness, No throne, no pomp, nor show, No love, no hate, no sadness, No pain, no depth of woe, No scheme of man's contrivance, Though it be great or small, Shall draw me from Thy guidance, Not one of these, nor all! 11 My merry heart is springing, And knows not how to pine; 'Tis full of joy and singing, And radiancy divine; The sun whose smiles so cheers me Is Jesus Christ alone; To have Him always near me Is heaven itself begun.
