O Lord, Look Down from Heaven, Behold

Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #260 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 First Line: O Lord, look down from heav'n, behold Lyrics: 1 O Lord, look down from heav'n, behold, And let Thy pity waken; How few are we within Thy fold, Thy saints by men forsaken! True faith seems quenched on ev'ry hand, Men suffer not Thy Word to stand; Dark times have us o'ertaken. 2 With fraud which they themselves invent Thy truth they have confounded; Their hearts are not with one consent On Thy pure doctrine grounded. While they parade with outward show, They lead the people to and fro, In error's maze astounded. 3 May God root out all heresy And of false teachers rid us Who proudly say: "Now, where is he That shall our speech forbid us? By right or might we shall prevail; What we determine cannot fail; We own no lord and master." 4 Therefore saith God, "I must arise, The poor My help are needing; To Me ascend My people's cries, And I have heard their pleading. For them My saving Word shall fight And fearlessly and sharply smite, The poor with might defending." 5 As silver tried by fire is pure From all adulteration, So thro' God's Word shall men endure Each trial and temptation. Its light beams brighter thro' the cross, And, purified from human dross, It shines through every nation. 6 Defend Thy truth, O God, and stay This evil generation; And from the error of its way Keep Thine own congregation. The wicked everywhere abound And would Thy little flock confound; But Thou art our Salvation. Amen.

For death he gave me life indeed and kept my feet from falling. For this my thanks shall endless be; O thank him, thank our God, with me— to God all praise and glory! 4 The Lord will not forsake his flock, his chosen generation; he is their refuge and their rock, their peace and their salvation.

Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death, and hell's destruction, Land me safe on Canaan's side. Songs of praises, songs of praises, I will ever give to Thee, I will ever give to Thee. Topics: Jesus, Bread of Life; Lent 4 Scripture: Psalm 42 Languages: English Tune Title: CWM RHONDDA

Thy Scepter, Jesus, Shall Extend

Author: Frans Mikael Franzen; Claude W. Foss Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #265 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Thy scepter, Jesus, shall extend As far as day prevaileth; Thy glorious kingdom, without end, Shall stand when all else faileth; Thy blessed Name shall be confessed, And round Thy cross, forever blest, Shall kings and people gather. 2 The child when born to Thee we take, To Thee in death we hasten; In joy we often Thee forsake, But not when sorrows chasten. Where truth and virtue are oppressed, Where sorrow dwells, pain and unrest, Thy help alone availeth. 3 Come, Jesus, then, in weal and woe, In life and death be near us; Thy grace upon our hearts bestow, And let Thy Spirit cheer us, For every conflict strength afford, And gather us in peace, O Lord, When all the world Thou judgest.
