If Thy Beloved Son, O God

Author: J. Heermann, 1585-1647 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #374 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 If Thy beloved Son, O God, Had not to earth descended And in our mortal flesh and blood Had not sin's power ended, Then this poor, wretched soul of mine In hell eternally would pine Because of its transgression. 2 But now I find sweet peace and rest; Despair no more reigns o'er me. No more am I by sin oppressed, For Christ has borne sin for me. Upon the cross for me He died That, reconciled, I might abide With Thee, my God, forever. 3 I trust in Him with all my heart; Now all my sorrow ceases. His words abiding peace impart; His blood from guilt releases. Free grace through Him I now obtain; He washes me from ev'ry stain, And pure I stand before Him. 4 All righteousness by works is vain; The law brings condemnation. True righteousness by faith I gain; Christ's work is my salvation. His death, that perfect sacrifice, Has paid the all-sufficient price; In Him my hope is anchored. 5 My guilt, O Father, Thou hast laid On Christ, Thy Son, my Savior. Lord Jesus, Thou my debt hast paid And gained for me God's favor. O Holy Ghost, Thou Fount of grace, The good in me to Thee I trace; In faith do Thou preserve me.

Salvation unto Us has Come

Author: Paul Speratus Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #377 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Salvation unto us has come By God's free grace and favor; Good works cannot avert our doom, They help and save us never. Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone, Who did for all the world atone; He is our one Redeemer. 2 What God did in His Law demand And none to Him could render Caused wrath and woe on ev'ry hand For man, the vile offender. Our flesh has not those pure desires The spirit of the Law requires, And lost is our condition. 3 It was a false, misleading dream That God His Law had given That sinners could themselves redeem And by their works gain heaven. The Law is but a mirror bright To bring the inbred sin to light That lurks within our nature. 4 From sin our flesh could not abstain, Sin held its sway unceasing; The task was useless and in vain, Our guilt was e'er increasing. None can remove sin's poisoned dart Or purify our guileful heart-- So deep is our corruption. 5 Yet as the Law must be fulfilled Or we must die despairing, Christ came and has God's anger stilled, Our human nature sharing. He hath for us the Law obeyed And thus His Father's vengeance stayed Which over us impended. 6 Since Christ has full atonement made And brought to us salvation, Each Christian therefore may be glad And build on this foundation. Thy grace alone, dear Lord, I plead, Thy death is now my life indeed, For Thou have paid my ransom. 7 Let me not doubt, but trust in Thee, Thy Word cannot be broken: Thy call rings out, "Come unto Me!" No falsehood hast Thou spoken. Baptized into Thy precious name, My faith cannot be put to shame, And I shall never perish. 8 The Law reveals the guilt of sin And makes us conscience-stricken; The Gospel then doth enter in The sinful soul to quicken. Come to the cross, trust Christ, and live; The Law no peace can ever give, No comfort and no blessing. 9 Faith clings to Jesus' cross alone And rests in Him unceasing; And by its fruits true faith is known, With love and hope increasing. For faith alone doth justify; Works serve thy neighbor and supply The proof that faith is living. 10 All blessing, honor, thanks, and praise To Father, Son, and Spirit, The God who saved us by His grace-- All glory to His merit! O Triune God in heaven above, Who has revealed Thy saving love; Thy blessed name be hallowed. Amen. Topics: Faith and Justification Scripture: Romans 3 Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST DAS HEIL

Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Richard Massie, 1800-87 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #377 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice, With exultation springing, And, with united heart and voice And holy rapture singing, Proclaim the wonders God has done, How his right arm the vict'ry won. How dearly it has cost him! 2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay; Death brooded darkly o'er me. Sin was my torment night and day; In sin my mother bore me. Yet deep and deeper still I fell; Life had become a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. 3 My own good works availed me naught, No merit they attaining; My will against God's judgment fought, No hope for me remaining. My fears increased till sheer despair Left naught but death to be my share And hell to be my sentence. 4 But God beheld my wretched state Before the world's foundation, And, mindful of his mercies great, He planned my soul's salvation. A Father's heart he turned to me, Sought my redemption fervently; He gave his dearest treasure. 5 He spoke to his beloved Son: "'Tis time to have compassion. Then go, bright Jewel of my crown, And bring mankind salvation. From sin and sorrow set them free; Slay bitter death for them that they May live with you forever." 6 The Son obeyed his Father's will, Was born of virgin mother, And, God's good pleasure to fulfill, He came to be my brother. No garb of pomp or pow'r he wore; A servant's form like mine he bore To lead the devil captive. 7 To me he spoke, "Hold fast to me-- I am your rock and castle. Your ransom I myself will be; For you I strive and wrestle. For I am yours, your friend divine, And evermore you shall be mine; The foe shall not divide us. 8 "The foe shall shed my precious blood, Me of my life bereaving. All this I suffer for your good; Be steadfast and believing. Life shall from death the vict'ry win; My innocence shall bear your sin, And you are blest forever. 9 "Now to my Father I depart, The Holy Spirit sending And, heav'nly wisdom to impart, My help to you extending. He will a source of comfort be, Teach you to know and follow me, And in all truth will guide you. 10 "What I on earth have lived and taught Be all your life and teaching; So shall my kingdom's work be wrought And honored in your preaching. Take care that no one's man-made laws Should e'er destroy the gospel's cause. This final word I leave you."

Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice

Author: M. Luther, 1483-1546; R. Massie, 1800-87 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #378 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice, With exultation springing, And, with united heart and voice And holy rapture singing, Proclaim the wonders God hath done, How His right arm the victory won; Right dearly it hath cost Him. 2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay; Death brooded darkly o'er me. Sin was my torment night and day; In sin my mother bore me. Yea, deep and deeper still I fell; Life had become a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. 3 My good works so imperfect were, They had no pow'r to aid me; My will God's judgments could not bear, Yea, prone to evil made me; Grief drove me to despair, and I Had nothing left me but to die; To hell I fast was sinking. 4 But God beheld my wretched state Before the world's foundation, And, mindful of His mercies great, He planned my soul's salvation. A father's heart He turned to me, Sought my redemption fervently: He gave His dearest Treasure. 5 He spoke to His beloved Son: "'Tis time to have compassion. Then go, bright Jewel of My crown, And bring to man salvation. From sin and sorrow set him free; Slay bitter death for him, that he May live with Thee forever." 6 This Son obeyed Him cheerfully, And born of virgin mother, Came down upn the earth to me That He might be my Brother. His mighty power doth work unseen, He came in fashion poor and mean, And took the devil captive. 7 He sweetly said: "Hold fast by me, I am thy Rock and Castle. Thy Ransom I myself will be; For thee I strive and wrestle. For I am with thee, I am thine, And evermore thou shalt be mine; The foe shall not divide us. 8 "The foe shall shed My precious blood, Me of My life bereaving. All this I suffer for thy good; Be steadfast and believing. Life shall from death the vict'ry win, My innocence shall bear thy sin; So art thou blest forever. 9 "Now to My Father I depart, From earth to heav'n ascending, Thence heav'nly wisdom to impart, The Holy Spirit sending. My help to thee extending. He shall in trouble comfort thee, Teach thee to know and follow me And to the truth shall conduct thee. 10 "What I have done and taught, teach thou, My ways forsake thou never; So shall My kingdom flourish now And God be praised forever. Take heed lest men with base alloy The heav'nly treasure should destroy; This counsel I bequeath thee." Topics: Sing!

O Holy Ghost, Thou gift divine

Author: B. Ringwaldt; S. Jonasson Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #380 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 O Holy Ghost, Thou gift divine, And giver of all blessing, Thou, with the Father and the Son, True Godhead art possessing, And from them both art shed abroad, Eternal Spirit, Lord and God, In Thee all Christians glory. 2 O Spirit blest, we Thee entreat: O grant us that we ever, With heart and soul, as it is meet, May serve our Lord and Savior And Him confess till our last breath, As Lord of life and Lord of death And give Him praise and honor. 3 Our hearts let new-created be, Our walk make pure and holy. Help us offense and sin to flee, And ever serve God solely, So that our faith in Christ, our Lord, May prove itself in deed and word Before the world about us. 4 Thy gracious heavenly dew let fall, The fainting Church to quicken; Thy soothing ointment pour on all Whose souls are sad and stricken; Sustain us, Lord, in evil days, And let our lives in all our ways Abound in love and mercy. 5 Give strength and courage to contend Against the hosts of evil, That we may vanquish, in the end, The world, the flesh, the devil; And when death's billow o'er us rolls, Bear Thou to heaven our ransomed souls, While dust to dust returneth.
