He cares for us by day and night; all things are governed by his might. 2 We all believe in Jesus Christ, his own Son, our Lord, possessing an equal Godhead, throne, and might, source of ev'ry grace and blessing; born of Mary, virgin mother, by the power of the Spirit, made true man, our elder brother, that the lost might life inherit, was crucified for all our sin and raised by God to life again. 3 We all confess the Holy Ghost, who, in highest heaven dwelling with the God the Father and the Son, comforts us beyond all telling; who the Church, his own creation, keeps in unity of spirit; here forgiveness and salvation daily come through Jesus' merit. All flesh shall rise, and we shall be in bliss with God eternally. Used With Tune: WIR GLAUBEN ALL (Chant) Text Sources: Tr.: The Lutheran Hymnal, 1941, alt.

When I behold my bleeding God

Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Romans 4:18 Lyrics: 1 When I behold my bleeding God, Each Mountain seems a Plain; But if I e'er forget his Blood, The Mountains rise again. 2 What means my inbred Sense, so rude, To war against my Peace? Or why should Reason bold intrude Upon a Saviour's Grace? 3 What tho' my Senses loudly say, I have nor Faith, nor Love; Nor am I in the living Way That leads to Realms above? 4 What if to increase still my Grief, It summons Lust and Pride, Hardness of Heart, and Unbelief, And all my Ills beside: 5 And, from the Whole, would witness this, Thou art devoid of Grace; How canst thou hope, in Worlds of Bliss, To see the Saviour's Face? 6 To this, the Witness of my Lord, (Greater than all in me), Replies, in his unerring Word, The Saviour's Grace is free. 7 The Man who works not, but believes On him who justifies Ungodly Souls, in Christ receives The Life that never dies. 8 Our Saviour full Atonement made, When for our sins he dy'd; And, when he left Death's gloomy Shade, Our Persons justify'd. 9 Who shall condemn? 'twas Jesus dy'd, 'Twas Jesus rose again; He with himself hat justify'd The sinful Sons of Men. 10 In Hope of what in Christ I am, Rejoicing, I believe, Against my hopeless Guilt and Shame, And thus, by Faith, I live.

L. M.

Author: Hart Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Romans 4:25 First Line: Jesus, when on the bloody tree Lyrics: 1 Jesus, when on the bloody tree He hung, through soul and body pierced, That all things might accomplished be Contained in Scripture, said, “I thirst.” 2 Hyssop, the plant ordained by God, And held by Jews in high esteem, Which sprinkled them with paschal blood, Sharp vinegar conveyed to him. 3 This done, our dear, our dying Lord Exerts his short, expiring breath; Utters this rich, important word, “’Tis finished!” and submits to death. 4 Henceforth an end is put to sin (The important word implies not less). Now for believers is brought in An everlasting righteousness. 5 The Son of God and man, has died, Sinners as black as hell to save; And, that they might be justified, Is risen victorious from the grave. 6 In heaven he lives, our King, our Priest; There for his people ever pleads: How sure is our salvation! Christ Died, rose, ascended, intercedes.
