O God, Thou faithful God

Author: J. Heermann Hymnal: Hymns of the Evangelical Lutheran Church #28 (1886) Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God, Thou Fount that ever flowest, Without whom nothing is, who all good gifts bestowest; A pure and healthy frame O give me, and within a conscience free from blame, a soul unhurt by sin. 2 And grant me, Lord, to do, With ready heart and willing, Whate'er Thou shalt command, My calling here fulfilling; To do it when I ought, With all my strength; and bless The work I thus have wrought, For Thou must give success. 3 O let me never speak What bounds of truth exceedeth; Grant that no idle word From out my mouth proceedeth; And grant, when in my place I must and ought to speak, My words due power and grace, Nor let me wound the weak. 4 If dangers gather round, Still keep me calm and fearless; Help me to bear the cross, When life is dark and cheerless; Let me subdue my foe By words and actions kind; When counsel I would know, Good counsel let me find. 5 And let me be with all In peace and friendship living, As far as Christians may; And if Thou aught art giving Of wealth and honors fair, O this refuse me not, That naught be mingled there Of goods unjustly got. 6 And if a longer life Be here on earth decreed me, And Thou through many a strife To ripe old age wilt lead me, Thy patience in me shed, Avert all sin and shame, And crown my hoary head With pure untarnished fame. 7 Let me depart this life Confiding in my Saviour; Do Thou my soul receive, That it may live forever; And let my body have A quiet resting-place Beside a Christian's grave, And let it sleep in peace. 8 And on that solemn day, When all the dead are waking, Stretch o'er my grave Thy hand, Thyself my slumbers breaking; Then let me hear Thy voice, And change this earthly frame, And bid me aye rejoice With those who love Thy name.

Lord Jesus, Who Art Come

Author: Eberhard L. Fischer Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3845 Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1. Lord Jesus, who art come A teacher sent from Heaven And by both word and deed God’s truth to us hast given, Thou wisely hast ordained The holy ministry That we, Thy flock may know The way to God through Thee. 2. Thou hast, O Lord, returned, To God’s right hand ascending; Yet Thou art in the world, Thy kingdom here extending. Through preaching of Thy Word In every land and clime Thy people’s faith is kept Until the end of time. 3. O blessèd ministry Of reconciliation, That shows the way to God And brings to us salvation! By Thine evangel pure, Lord, Thou preserv’st Thy fold Dost call, enlighten, keep, Dost comfort and uphold. 4. Preserve this ministry While harvest-days are keeping; And since the fields are white And hands are few for reaping, Send workers forth, O Lord, The sheaves to gather in That not a soul be lost Which Thou art come to win. 5. The servants Thou hast called And to Thy Church art giving Preserve in doctrine pure And holiness of living. Thy Spirit fill their hearts, Endue their tongues with power; What they should boldly speak, Oh, give them in that hour! 6. Yea, bless Thy Word alway, Our souls forever feeding; And may we never lack A faithful shepherd’s leading! Seek Thou the wandering sheep, Bind up the sore oppressed, Lift up the fallen ones, And grant the weary rest. 7. Bring those into Thy fold Who still to Thee are strangers; Guard those who are within Against offense and dangers. Press onward with Thy Word Till pastor and his fold Through faith in Thee, O Christ, Thy glory shall behold. Languages: English Tune Title: FROMMER

What Is The World To Me

Author: Georg M. Pfefferkorn, 1646-1732; H. Brueckner Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #195 (1930) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 What is the world to me With all its vaunted pleasure, If I but Thee may own, Lord Jesus, for my Treasure? Thou only, dearest Friend, My Fount of joy shalt be; To Thee I look for rest -- What is the world to me? 2 The world would fain be praised By men of wealth and power, But never ponders well How soon shall pass their hour; What I shall glory in Is Jesus, only He; His praise alone I seek-- What is the world to me? 3 The world is wont to crave The things that mammon offers, Yet never feels content Tho' gold fill all its coffers; I know a higher Good, In Jesus I can see A sweet content in store-- What is the world to me? 4 The world is wont to grieve When out of honor cheated, Or when its idle fame Has sorely been depleted; But I shall bear reproach, And this my boast shall be: I suffer for my Lord-- What is the world to me? 5 The world its tainted joy Is evermore extolling, Though while on pleasure bent, From grace it may be falling. Let him who loves the world Its boon companion be; I love my Lord and God-- What is the world to me? 6 What is the world to me? Are not its treasures waning? In Jesus I alone A crown of joy am gaining; He is my wealth, my all, I shall His kingdom see In yonder realms of bliss-- What is the world to me?

Hush Thou our griefs and fears, Thou fount of boundless love. 3 When judgment trumpets wake All who in death are sleeping, To Salem’s mansions take The saved in Thy love’s keeping. When at Thy blest "Arise!" We greet Thee, risen king, The realms beyond the skies With endless praise shall ring. Languages: English Tune Title: FROMMER

For there, in faith adored, We find Thy presence nearer' We love the word of life, The word that tells of peace, Of comfort in the strife, And joys that never cease. 3 We love to sing below For mercies freely given; But most we long to know The triumph-song of heaven. Lord Jesus, give us grace On earth to love Thee more, In heaven to see Thy face, And with Thy saints adore.
