Yea, as I Live, Jehovah Saith

Author: Nikolaus Herman; Matthias Loy Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7779 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith, I would not have the sinner’s death, But that he turn from error’s ways, Repent, and live through endless days. 2. To us therefore Christ gave command: “Go forth and preach in every land; Bestow on all My pardoning grace Who will repent and mend their ways. 3. “All those whose sins ye thus remit I truly pardon and acquit; And those whose sins ye do retain Condemned and guilty shall remain. 4. What ye shall bind, that bound shall be; What ye shall loose, that shall be free; Unto My church the keys are giv’n To ope and close the gates of Heav’n. 5. The words which absolution give Are His who died that we might live; The minister whom Christ has sent Is but His humble instrument. 6. When ministers lay on their hands, Absolved by Christ the sinner stands; He who by grace the Word believes The purchase of His blood receives. 7. All praise, eternal Son, to Thee For absolution full and free, In which Thou showest forth Thy grace; From false indulgence guard our race. 8. Praise God the Father and the Son And Holy Spirit, Three in One, As ’twas, is now, and so shall be World without end, eternity! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LUKE (Clarke)

To Calvary alone I flee-- O God, be merciful to me! 5 And when, redeemed from sin and hell, With all the ransomed souls I dwell, My joyous song shall ever be: God has been merciful to me!

Thy Ways, O Lord, with Wise Design

Author: Ambrose Searle Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #530 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thy ways, O Lord, with wise design, Are framed upon Thy throne above, And ev'ry dark and bending line, Meets in the center of Thy love. 2 With feeble light, and half obscure Poor mortals Thine arrangements view, Not knowing that the least are sure, And, the mysterious just and true. 3 Thy flock, Thine own peculiar care, Tho' now they seem to roam uneyed, Are led or driven only where They best and safest may abide. 4 They neither know nor trace the way: But whilst they trust Thy guardian eye, Their feet shall ne'er to ruin stray, Nor shall the weakest fail or die. 5 My favored soul shall meekly learn To lay her reason at Thy throne; Too weak Thy secrets to discern, I'll trust Thee for my Guide alone.
