Christian, seek not yet repose
Author: Charlotte Elliot Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #395 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Christian, seek not yet repose,
Cast thy dreams of ease away,
Thou art in the midst of foes,
Therefore watch and pray.
2 Gird thy heavenly armor on,
Wear it ever, night and day;
Near thee lurks the evil one,
Therefore watch and pray.
3 Listen to the sorrowing Lord,
Him thou loves to obey;
It is He who speaks the Word,
Therefore watch and pray.
4 'Twas in watching and in prayer,
Holy men of olden day
Won the palms and crowns they wear;
Therefore watch and pray.
5 Watch, for Thou Thy guard must keep;
Pray, for God must speed thy way;
Narrow is the road and steep,
Therefore watch and pray. Languages: English Tune Title: GREY
Christian, seek not yet repose
Self-righteous souls on works rely
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #397 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Self-righteous souls on works rely,
And boast their mortal dignity;
But if I lisp a song of praise,
Grace is the note my soul shall raise.
2 'Twas grace that quickened me when dead,
And grace my soul to Jesus led;
Grace brings me pardon for my sin--
'Tis grace subdues my lusts within.
3 'Tis grace that sweetens ev'ry cross,
'Tis grace supports in ev'ry loss;
In Jesus' grace my soul is strong--
Grace is my hope and Christ my song.
4 'Tis grace defends when danger's near;
And 'tis by grace I persevere;
'Tis grace constrains my soul to love--
Free grace is all they sing above.
5 Through endless years of grace I'll sing,
Adore and bless my heavenly King;
I'll cast my crown before His throne,
Saved by His sov'reign grace alone. Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM (All Saints)
Self-righteous souls on works rely
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Author: Richard Baxter Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #403a (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to our care
Whether we die or live;
To love and serve Thee be our share,
And this Thy grace must give.
2 Christ leads us through no darker rooms
Than He went through before;
Whoever to God's kingdom comes,
Must enter by this door.
3 Come, Lord, when grace hath made us meet
Thy blessed face to see;
For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be?
4 There shall we end our sad complaints,
And weary, sinful days;
And join with the triumphant saints
That sing Jehovah's praise.
5 Our knowledge of that life is small,
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And we shall be with him. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AGNES (Durham)
Lord, it belongs not to my care
What God does, ever well is done!
Author: Samuel Rodigast; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #408 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 What God does, ever well is done!
His will is just and holy;
As He directs my sands to run,
My spirit shall keep lowly.
He is my God; Though sore the rod,
His care doth e'er enfold me:
Then may He guide and hold me.
2 What God does, ever well is done!
In need He will not quit me.
In rightful path He still leads me on;
To Him then I submit me.
I'll walk His ways, And trust His grace
To lift what doth oppress me:
It rests with Him to bless me.
3 What God does, ever well is done!
He thinks but to befriend me;
As Healer mine, and Wondrous One,
He will not poison send me
Instead of cure.
God's heart is pure.
Of doubt will I divest me,
And on His goodness rest me.
4 What God does, ever well is done!
And though the cup selected,
Seem to my mind too bitter drawn,
Yet will I not reject it.
God loveth me!
I yet shall see
Sweet comfort for my grieving;
So I keep on believing.
5 What God does, ever well is done!
Of this shall none deprive me;
And though on pathway rough and lone,
Need, death, and mis'ry drive me,
God's arms will bear Me with fond care,
Till all my sorrow ceaseth;
Then do He, as He pleaseth. Languages: English Tune Title: HOPE (Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan)
What God does, ever well is done!
Oft in sorrow, oft in woe
Author: Henry Kirke White; W. B. Collyer; F. S. Maitland; E. Bickersteth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #415 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 Oft in sorrow, oft in woe,
Onward, Christians, onward go;
Bear the toil, maintain the strife,
Strengthened with the Bread of life.
2 Let not sorrow dim your eye,
Soon shall every tear be dry;
Let not fears your course impede,
Great your help, if great your need.
3 Let your drooping hearts be glad;
March, in heavenly armor clad;
Fight, nor think the battle long,
Vict'ry soon shall tune your song.
4 Onward then to battle move,
More than conqu'rors ye shall prove;
Though begirt with many a foe,
Onward, Christians, onward go! Languages: English Tune Title: ELIJAH (Wien)
Oft in sorrow, oft in woe
Ah God, my days are dark indeed
Author: Martin Moeller; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #416 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 Ah God, my days are dark indeed,
How oft this aching heart must bleed!
The narrow way how filled with pain,
That I must pass ere heav'n I gain!
How hard to teach this flesh and blood
To seek alone th'eternal good!
2 Ah whither now for comfort turn?
For Thee, my Jesus, do I yearn;
In Thee have I, howe'er distrest,
Found ever counsel, aid, and rest;
I cannot all forsaken be
While still my heart can trust in Thee.
3 Jesus, my only God and Lord,
What sweetness in Thy name is stored!
So dark and hopeless is no grief
But Thy sweet name can bring relief,
So keen no sorrows' rankling dart
But Thy sweet Name can heal my heart.
4 Jesus, my Boast, my Light, my Joy,
The Treasure nought can e'er destroy,
No words, no song that I can frame
Speak half the sweetness of Thy Name:
They only all its power shall prove
Whose hearts have learnt Thy faith and love.
5 Jesus, my Bridegroom and my Crown,
If Thou but smile the world may frown,
In Thee lie depths of joy untold,
Far richer than her richest gold;
Whene'er I do but think of Thee,
Thy dews drop down and solace me;
6 Let me this flesh and blood control,
From sin and shame preserve my soul,
And keep me steadfast in the faith,
Then I am Thine in life and death:
Jesus, Consoler, bend to me!
Ah would I were e'en now with Thee! Languages: English Tune Title: ACH GOTT UND HERR
Ah God, my days are dark indeed
If thou suffer God to guide thee
Author: George Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #418 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer God to guide thee,
And hope in Him thro' all thy ways,
He'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee,
And bear thee thro' the evil days;
Who trusts in God's unchanging love,
Builds on the rock that none can move.
2 What can these anxious cares avail thee,
These never-ceasing moans and sighs?
What can it help, if thou bewail thee
O'er each dark moment as it flies?
Our cross and trials do but press
The heavier for our bitterness.
3 Only be still and wait His leisure
In cheerful hope, with heart content
To take whate'er Thy Father's pleasure
And all-deserving love hath sent;
Nor doubt our inmost wants are known
To Him who chose us for His own.
4 He knows the time for joy, and truly
Will send it when He sees it meet,
When He has tried and purged thee duly,
And finds thee free from all deceit,
He comes to thee all unaware,
And makes thee own His loving care.
5 Nor think, amid the heat of trial,
That God hath cast thee off unheard;
That he whose hopes meet no denial
Must surely be of God preferred;
Time passes and much change doth bring
And sets a bound to everything.
6 All are alike before the Highest;
'Tis easy to our God, we know,
To raise thee up, though low thou liest,
To make the rich man poor and low:
True wonders still by Him are wrought
Who setteth up and brings to nought.
7 Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving,
So do thine own part faithfully,
And trust His Word, though undeserving,
Thou yet shalt find it true for thee;
God never yet forsook at need
The soul that trusted Him indeed. Languages: English Tune Title: NEUMARK (Wer nur den lieben Gott)
If thou suffer God to guide thee
Though in midst of life we be
Author: Dr. Martin Luther; Richard Massie Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #428 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Lyrics: 1 Though in the midst of life we be,
Snares of death surround us;
Where shall we for succor flee,
Lest our foes confound us?
To Thee alone, our Savior!
We mourn our grievous sin which hath
Stirred the fire of Thy fierce wrath.
Holy and gracious God!
Holy and mighty God!
Holy and all-merciful Savior!
Thou eternal God!
Save us, Lord, from sinking
In the deep and bitter flood.
Kyrie eleison.
2 While in midst of death we be,
Hell's grim jaws o'ertake us;
Who from such distress will free,
Who secure will make us?
Thou only, Lord, canst do it!
It moves Thy tender heart to see
Our great sin and misery.
Holy and gracious God!
Holy and mighty God!
Holy and all-merciful Savior!
Thou eternal God!
Let not hell dismay us
With its deep and burning flood.
Kyrie eleison.
3 Into hell's fierce agony
Sin doth headlong drive us;
Where shall we for succor flee,
Who, O who will hide us?
Thou only, blessed Savior!
Thy precious blood was shed to win
Peace and pardon for our sin.
Holy and gracious God!
Holy and mighty God!
Holy and all-merciful Savior!
Let us not, we pray,
From the true Faith's comfort
In our last need fall away.
Kyrie eleison. Languages: English Tune Title: INTERCESSION (Stärk uns, Mittler, dein sind wir)
Though in midst of life we be
Teach me the measure of my days
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #432a (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Lyrics: 1 Teach me the measure of my days,
Thou Maker of my frame!
I would survey life's narrow space,
And learn how frail I am.
2 A span is all that we can boast;
A fleeting hour of time;
Man is but vanity and dust,
In all His flower and prime.
3 Vain race of mortals, see them move
Like shadows o'er the plain:
They rage and strive, desire and love,
But all the noise is vain.
4 Some walk in honor's gaudy show;
Some dig for golden ore;
They toil for whom they do not know,
And straight are seen no more.
5 What should I wish or wait for then,
From creatures, earth, and dust?
They make our expectations vain,
And disappoint our trust.
6 Now I resign my earthly hope,
My fond desires recall;
I give my mortal interest up,
And make my God my all. Languages: English Tune Title: NAOMI
Teach me the measure of my days
Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant
Author: Rev. C. H. L. Schuette, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #441 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Death and Burial; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 Lord, now let test Thou Thy servant
From this life depart in peace!
Praise be Thine, and blessings fervent,
For the wearied soul's release.
2 He who saw Thy great salvation,
With the eye of faith and love,
In this earthly habitation,
Walketh now by sight above!
3 Cares and crosses all are over,
Sin and sorrow overcome;
And the soul, Christ her Lover,
Hath at last been taken home.
4 While life's paths we still are pressing,
Grant us, Father, steadfast faith,
And, for Christ's sake, grant the blessing
Of a peaceful, Christian death. Languages: English Tune Title: TONBRIDGE
Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant
