Eternity! terrific word!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #461 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Eternity! terrific word! Within the heart a piercing sword! Beginning without ending! Eternity, unmeasured time! I sink beneath the though sublime, That I to thee am tending: Deep horrors fill my quaking heart, My lips in speech refuse to part. 2 Eternity! O what a pang! Eternity! no serpent's fang Could send that thrill of terror; When I revolve thy clanking chains, Thy dark abyss of deathless pains, My soul is filled with horror. O search the universe around, No equal terror can be found. 3 Awake, O man, from sinful sleep; Henceforth thy feet from wand'ring keep; Seek God by true repentance! Awake, behold thy wasting sand, Eternity is just at hand, And brings thine awful sentence. This perchance thy final day; This hour thy soul may haste away. 4 Eternity! terrific word Within the heart a piercing sword! Beginning without ending! Eternity! unmeasured time! I sink beneath the thought sublime, That I to thee am tending: Lord Jesus, when it pleaseth Thee, Grant me Thy blest eternity! Languages: English

When the Lord recalls the banished

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #463 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 When the Lord recalls the banished, Frees the captives all at last, Every sorrow will have vanished, Like a dream when night is past; Then shall all our hearts rejoice, And with glad resounding voice We shall praise the Lord who sought us, For the freedom He hath wrought us. 2 Lift Thy hand to aid us, Father, Let the end of exile come, And Thy scattered servants gather ln their longed for, promised home. Steep and weary is the way, Shorten Thou the sultry day, Faithful warriors hast Thou found us? Let Thy peace for aye surround us. 3 In that peace we reap in gladness What was sown in tearful showers; There the fruit of all our sadness Ripens,--there the palm is ours; There our God upon His throne Is our full Reward alone. They who lived, who died unto Him, Sheaves of gladness bring there through Him. Languages: English

My Father's house on high

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #465 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul! how near, At times, to faith's foreseeing eye, Thy golden gates appear! 2 Ah! then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! 3 Yet clouds will intervene, And all my prospect flies; Like Noah's dove, I flit between Rough seas and stormy skies. 4 Anon the clouds depart, The winds and waters cease, While sweetly o'er my gladdened heart Expands the bow of peace.

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Author: Sarah Flower Adams Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #510 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee; Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 2 Though like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; yet in my dreams I'd be, Nearer, my God, to Thee; Nearer to Thee! 3 There let the way appear, Steps unto heaven; All that thou sendest me, In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 4 Then with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee; Nearer to Thee! 5 Or if on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upward I fly; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee; Nearer to Thee!

Songs of praise the angels sang

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a362 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang, Heav'n with hallelujas rang When Jehovah's work begun, When He spake and it was done. 2 Songs of praise awoke the morn, When the Prince of Peace was born; Songs of praise arose when He Captive led captivity. 3 Heaven and earth must pass away; Songs of praise shall crown that day; God will make new heav'ns and earth; Songs of praise shall hail their birth. 4 And shall man alone be dumb Till that glorious kingdom come? No, the church delights to raise Psalms and hymns and songs of praise. 5 Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above.

For God, the Source of ev'rything, Thy portion will remain. Languages: English

What God does, ever well is done!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a408 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope 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.
