Ye Christian heralds, go proclaim

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 474 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Ministry Lyrics: 1 "Ye Christian heralds, go proclaim Salvation in Immanuel's name; To distant climes the tidings bear, And plant the rose of Sharon there." 2 Go with His Word and Sacrament, And in His name spend and be spent; You bring Immanuel's saving grace Unto a lost and dying race. 3 From out the depths of open grave Their need cries loudly: Help, O save! Go then, and toil while yet 'tis day; He, who you serve, attends your way.

O pour Thy Spirit from on high!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 210 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Ministry Lyrics: 1 O pour Thy Spirit from on high! Lord, Thine appointed servants bless; Thy promised power to each supply, And clothe Thy priests with righteousness. 2 Wisdom, and zeal, and faith impart, Firmness with meekness, from above, To bear Thy people in their heart, And love the souls whom Thou dost love; 3 To watch, and pray, and never faint; By day and night their guard to keep; To warn the sinner, cheer the saint, Protect Thy lambs, and feed Thy sheep. 4 And when their work is finished here, Let them in hope their charge resign; Before the throne with joy appear, And there with endless glory shine.

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 856 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Prayer Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed, The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. 2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear, The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near. 3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Prayer the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high. 4 Prayer is the Christians' vital breath, The Christians' native air; His watch-word at the gate of death-- He enters heaven with prayer. 5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice, And say, "Behold, he prays."

What a Friend we have in Jesus

Author: Joseph Scriven Appears in 1,764 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Prayer Lyrics: 1 What a Friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Ev'rything to God in pray'r! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Ev'rything to God in pray'r! 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged: Take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness-- Take it to the Lord in prayer! 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our Refuge,-- Take it to the Lord in prayer! Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In His arms He'll take and shield you; Thou wilt find a solace there. Used With Tune: ERIE

The happy sunshine all is gone

Author: Nicolaus Herman; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Evening Lyrics: 1 The happy sunshine all is gone, The gloomy night comes swiftly on; But shine Thou still, O Christ our Light, That we walk not in error's night. 2 We thank Thee, Father, that this day Thy angels watched around our way, And free from harm and vexing fear Thy grace has kept, and brought us here. 3 We own that we have angered Thee, Do Thou forgive us graciously, Unto our soul impute it not, And bless with peaceful sleep our cot. 4 Thy angels guard our sleeping hours, And keep afar all evil powers; From terrors, fire, and every harm, This night protect us by Thy arm.
