Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove

Author: Watts Hymnal: HBUE1884 #41 (1884) Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all Thy quickening powers; Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours. 2 See how we grovel here below, Fond of these earthly toys; Our souls, how heavily they go To reach eternal joys. 3 Dear Lord, and shall we always live At this poor dying rate? Our love so cold, so faint to Thee, And Thine to us so great? 4 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all Thy quickening powers; Come, shed abroad a Saviour’s love, And that shall kindle ours.

Thou who art Three in Unity

Author: Martin Luther; Ambrose Hymnal: HBUE1884 #42 (1884) Lyrics: 1 Thou who art Three in Unity, True God from all eternity; The sun is fading from our sight: Let on us shine Thy heavenly light. 2 We praise Thee, Lord, at break of day, At night we also to Thee pray; With our poor song we worship Thee, Now, ever, and eternally. 3 E'er God the Father be adored, And God the Son, the only Lord, And God the Holy Spirit we Will praise to all eternity.

Praised be the Lord, my God

Author: Olearius Hymnal: HBUE1884 #43 (1884) Lyrics: 1 Praised be the Lord, my God, My Light, my Life from heaven, My Maker, who to me Hath soul and body given, My Father, who protects My life from infancy, Who always hath bestowed Great gifts of love on me. 2 Praised be the Lord, my God, My Bliss, my Life from heaven, The Father's loved Son, Who for mankind was given, Who hath atoned for me With His most precious blood, Who giveth to my faith The greatest heavenly good. 3 Praised be the Lord, my God, My Trust, my Life from heaven, The Father's Spirit, whom The Son to me hath given, He who revives my heart And gives new strength and power, Aid, comfort, and support In sorrow's gloomy hour. 4 Praised be the Lord, my God, He who forever liveth, To whom the heavenly host E'er praise and honor giveth; Praised be the Lord, our God, In whose great name we boast, The Father, God the Son, And God the Holy Ghost; 5 To whom our praise we give, With joy our offerings bringing, And with the angels' hosts The "Holy! Holy!" singing; He whom all Christendom Doth praise most joyfully, Praised by the Lord, my God, To all eternity! Topics: Trinity Languages: English

A mighty fortress is our God

Author: Luther Hymnal: HBUE1884 #45 (1884) Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; He helps us free from every need That hath us now o'ertaken. The old bitter foe Means us deadly woe: Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight, On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One Whom God himself elected. Ask ye, Who is this?-- Jesus Christ it is, Lord of Sabaoth, There is no other God, He holds the field for ever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They cannot overpower us. This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, He can harm us none, He's judged, the deed is done, One little word o'erthrows him. 4 The word they still shall let remain, Nor any thank have for it, The Lord's with us upon the plain With His good gifts and Spirit; Take they then our life, Goods, fame, child and wife, When their worst is done, They yet have nothing won: The Kingdom ours remaineth.

Lord, keep us steadfast in Thy word

Author: Luther; Jonas Hymnal: HBUE1884 #46 (1884) Lyrics: 1 Lord, keep us steadfast in Thy word, And break the Pope's and Turk's fell sword, Who fain would hurl from off Thy throne Christ Jesus, Thy beloved Son. 2 Lord Jesus Christ, Thy power make known, For Thou art Lord of Lords alone; Defend Thy Christendom, that we May evermore sing praise to Thee. 3 O Holy Ghost, best comfort Thou, With unity Thy church endow, Support us in our final strife, And lead us out of death to life. 4 Destroy their counsels, Lord our God, And smite them with an iron rod, And let them fall into the snare Which for Thy Christians they prepare; 5 So that at last they may perceive That, Lord our God, Thou still dost live, And dost deliver mightily All those who put their trust in Thee.

Fear not, O little flock, the foe

Author: Gustavus Adolphus Hymnal: HBUE1884 #47 (1884) Lyrics: 1 Fear not, O little flock, the foe Who madly seeks your overthrow; Dread not his rage and power; And though your courage sometimes faints, His seeming triumph o'er God's saints Lasts but a little hour. 2 Be of good cheer; your cause belongs To Him who can avenge your wrongs; Leave it to Him, our Lord. Though hidden yet from mortal eyes, His Gideon shall for you arise, Uphold you and His word. 3 As true as God's own word is true, Not earth nor hell with all their crew Against us shall prevail. A jest and byword are they grown; God is with us; we are His own: Our victory cannot fail. Topics: The Word of God and the Church; Reformation Languages: English

Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide

Author: Selnecker Hymnal: HBUE1884 #48 (1884) Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide, For round us falls the eventide; Nor let Thy word, that shining light, For us be ever veiled in night. 2 Lord, in the last sad times we live, Therefore true steadfastness do give, That we Thy word and sacrament May pure retain, till life is spent. 3 Lord Jesus, help! Thy Church uphold, For we are sluggish, thoughtless, cold; Indue Thy word with power and grace, And spread its truth in every place. 4 O keep us in thy word, we pray; The guile and rage of Satan stay. Unto Thy Church give concord, peace, Zeal, courage, patience, love, and grace. 5 O God! how sin's dread works abound; Throughout the earth no rest is found, And wide has falsehoods's spirit spread, And error boldly rears its head. 6 Those vain, presumptuous minds restrain, That fain would o'er Thy Christians reign, And e'er bring forth some fancies new, Devised to change Thy doctrine true. 7 The cause and glory, dearest Lord, Are Thine, not ours--do Thou afford Us help and strength and constancy; We ever put our trust in Thee. 8 Thy word is e'er our two-edged sword, Thy people's sure defense; O Lord, Grant that in us it may abide, So that we seek no other guide. 9 O grant that in Thy holy word We here may live and die, good Lord, That, when our journey endeth here, We enter into glory there.

Christ, Thou the champion of the band who own

Author: Loewenstern Hymnal: HBUE1884 #49 (1884) Lyrics: 1 Christ, Thou the Champion of the band who own Thy cross, O make Thy succor quickly known; The schemes of those who long our blood have sought Bring Thou to nought. 2 Do Thou Thyself for us Thy children fight, Withstand the devil, quell his rage and might; Whate'er assails Thy members left below, Do Thou o'erthrow. 3 Peace, O Lord, grant us; peace in church and school, Peace to the powers who o'er our country rule, Peace to the conscience, peace within the heart, Do Thou impart. 4 So shall Thy goodness here be still adored, Thou Guardian of Thy little flock, dear Lord. Yea, heaven and earth through all eternity Shall worship Thee. Topics: The Word of God and the Church Languages: English

Let me be Thine forever

Author: Selnecker Hymnal: HBUE1884 #50 (1884) Lyrics: 1 Let me be Thine forever, Thou faithful God and Lord, May I forsake Thee never, Nor wander from Thy word; Keep me from error's mazes, Lord, give me constancy, And I will sing Thy praises Through all eternity. 2 Lord Jesus, my salvation, My Love and Life divine, My only Consolation, To Thee I all resign; For Thou hast dearly bought me With blood and bitter pain, Let me, since Thou hast sought me, Eternal life obtain. 3 And Thou, O Holy Spirit, My Comforter and Guide, In my Redeemer's merit Let ever me confide, His holy name confessing. Help me when death draws nigh; Grant me Thy constant blessing, And save me when I die. Topics: The Word of God and the Church Languages: English
