God Has Chosen What Is Foolish
Author: Richard Leach Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 God has chosen what is foolish,
what is easy to despise,
to save us from our own wisdom
and to shame what we call wise.
God has chosen what is weakest,
what cannot be counted on,
to save us from our own power
and to shame what we call strong.
2 What is strong by human measure?
War and wealth seem strong and real.
What is weak? A human body,
met by fists and wood and steel.
Yet the body of our Jesus
has defied the cross and grave.
God has cherished what is fragile,
come in Christ to mend and save.
3 God has chosen what is nothing
to be something in his sight,
and to send into the shadows
those who seem to own the light.
Some things seeming now the greatest
will be dream-like, fading fast.
God has chosen what is empty
to be filled with joy at last. Topics: Ash Wednesday; God Nature of Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:27-28 Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA

Zion, dreary and in anguish
Author: Hastings Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Zion, dreary and in anguish,
In the desert hast thou strayed?
Oh, thou weary, cease to languish,
Jesus shall lift up thy head.
2 Still lamenting and bemoaning,
'Mid thy follies and thy woes,
Soon repenting, and returning,
All thy solitude shall close.
3 Though benighted and forsaken,
Though afflicted and oppressed,
His Almighty arm shall waken,
Zion's King shall give thee rest.
4 Cease thy sadness, unbelieving,
Soon his glory shalt thou see,
Joy and gladness and thanksgiving,
And the voice of melody. Topics: The Christian Life Declension and Renewal; The Church in the Desert

Lord, Thy Word, That Sacred Treasure
Author: H. Brueckner; Count Zinzendorf Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thy Word, that sacred treasure,
Let me evermore retain;
Naught of earth can give the pleasure
That I from its wealth may gain.
Were Thy truth no more to guide us,
How our faith would go astray!
Lord, whatever may betide us,
Let this light illume our way.
2 Hallelujah, now and ever
Be Thy truth my stay, O Lord!
Grant in mercy that I never
Cease to love Thy precious Word.
By its teachings so appealing
May it keep me firm and true;
At Thy feet with Mary kneeling,
I would learn Thy will to do. Topics: The Means of Grace The Word; Processionals and Recessionals General Used With Tune: BOHEMIA

Where tomorrow will be spent?
Hast thou hope beyond death’s portal
Should swift call for thee be sent?
Refrain
One more hour to seek the Savior,
His once offered love to grasp;

Of Thy loving hand to clasp?

When that morrow is today;
What wouldst thou not give to borrow
One brief hour from life’s lost day! [Refrain

That pierced hand held out to save;
All His cruel wounds implore you,
Come, My life for you I gave! [Refrain]
4. There may be no more tomorrow,
No more suns for thee may rise;
Thine no more earth’s joys and sorrows,
Smiling morn, or evening skies. [Refrain]
5. Oh, how longer can you grieve Him,
How His mercy turn away?
Come, with thankful tears receive Him;
Come to Jesus, come today! [Refrain] Used With Tune: CIDENTON
