Awake, My Soul, to Joyful Lays

Author: Samuel Medley Hymnal: LH1941 #340 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, to joyful lays And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise. He justly claims a song from me-- His loving-kindness, oh, how free! 2 He saw me ruined in the Fall, Yet loved me notwithstanding all. He saved me from my lost estate-- His loving-kindness, oh, how great! 3 When I was Satan's easy prey And deep in debt and bondage lay, He paid His life for my discharge-- His loving-kindness, oh, how large! 4 Through mighty hosts of cruel foes, Where earth and hell my way oppose, He safely leads my soul along-- His loving-kindness, oh, how strong! 5 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud, Has gathered thickand thundered loud, He near my soul has always stood-- His loving-kindness, oh, how good! 6 When earthly friends forsake me quite And I have neither skill nor might, He's sure my Helper to appear-- His loving-kindness, oh, how near! 7 Too oft I feel my sinful heart Prone from my Jesus to depart; But though I have Him oft forgot, His loving-kindness changes not. 8 When I shall pass death's gloomy vale And all my mortal power must fail, Oh, may my last expiring breath His loving-kindness sing in death! 9 Then shall I mount and soar away To the bright world of endless day And sing with rapture and surprise His loving-kindness in the skies. Amen. Topics: The Redeemer Scripture: Psalm 36:7 Languages: English Tune Title: O HEILIGE DREIFALTIGKEIT

So let it be! 3 Oh, haste to help ere we are lost! Send preachers forth, in spirit strong, Armed with Thy Word, a dauntless host, Bold to attack the rule of wrong; Let them the earth for Thee reclaim, Thy heritage, to know Thy name. 4 And let Thy Word have speedy course, Thro' every land be glorified, Till all the heathen know its force And fill Thy churches far and wide. Oh, spread the conquest of Thy Word And let Thy kingdom come, dear Lord! Amen. Topics: The Church Missions Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:1 Languages: English Tune Title: ALL EHR' UND LOB

Baptized into Thy Name Most Holy

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann J. Rambach Hymnal: LH1941 #298 (1941) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Baptized into Thy name most holy, O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I claim a place, though weak and lowly, Among Thy seed, Thy chosen host. Buried with Christ and dead to sin, Thy Spirit now shall live within. 2 My loving Father, Thou dost take me To be henceforth Thy child and heir; My faithful Savior, Thou dost make me The fruit of all Thy sorrows share; Thou, Holy Ghost, wilt comfort me When darkest clouds around I see. 3 And I have vowed to love and fear Thee And to obey Thee, Lord, alone; Because the Holy Ghost did move me, I dared to pledge myself Thine own, Renouncing sin to keep the faith And war with evil unto death. 4 My faithful God, Thou failest never, Thy cov'nant surely will abide; Oh, cast me not away forever Should I transgress it on my side! Tho' I have oft my soul defiled, Do Thou forgive, restore, Thy child. 5 Yea, all I am and love most dearly I offer now, O Lord, to Thee. Oh, let me make my vows sincerely And help me Thine own child to be! Let naught within me, naught I own, Serve any will but Thine alone. 6 And never let my purpose falter, O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, But keep me faithful to Thine altar Till Thou shalt call me from my post. So unto Thee I live and die And praise Thee evermore on high. Amen. Topics: The Sacraments Baptism Scripture: Matthew 28:19 Languages: English Tune Title: O DASS ICH TAUSEND

Behold, a Branch is Growing

Author: Harriet R. Spaeth; John C. Mattes; Unknown Hymnal: LH1941 #645 (1941) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold, a Branch is growing Of loveliest form and grace, As prophets sung, foreknowing; It springs from Jesse's race And bears one little Flow'r In midst of coldest winter, At deepest midnight hour. 2 Isaiah hath foretold It In words of promise sure, And Mary's arms enfold It, A virgin meek and pure. Thro' God's eternal will This Child to her is given At midnight calm and still. 3 The shepherds heard the story, Proclaimed by angels bright, How Christ, the Lord of Glory, Was born on earth this night. To Bethlehem they sped And in the manger found Him, As angel heralds said. 4 This Flower whose fragrance tender With sweetness fills the air, Dispels with glorious splendor The darkness everywhere. True Man, yet very God; From sin and death He saves us And lightens every load. 5 0 Savior, Child of Mary, Who felt our human woe; O Savior, King of Glory. Who dost our weakness know, Bring us at length, we pray. To the bright courts of heaven And to the endless day. Amen.

Behold a Host, Arrayed in White

Author: Hans A. Brorson Hymnal: LH1941 #656 (1941) Lyrics: 1 Behold a host, arrayed in white, Like thousand snow-clad mountains bright, With palms they stand. Who is this band Before the throne of light? Lo, these are they of glorious fame Who from the great affliction came And in the flood of Jesus' blood Are cleansed from guilt and blame. Now gathered in the holy place, Their voices they in worship raise, Their anthems swell where God doth dwell, Mid angels' songs of praise. 2 Despised and scorned, they sojourned here; But now, how glorious they must appear! Those martyrs stand a priestly band, God's throne forever near. So oft, in troubled days gone by, In anguish they would weep and sigh. At home above the God of Love For aye their tears shall dry. They now enjoy their Sabbath rest, The paschal banquet of the blest; The Lamb, their Lord, at festal board Himself is Host and Guest. 3 Then hail, ye mighty legions, yea, All hail! Now safe and blest for aye; And praise the Lord, who with His Word Sustained you on the way. Ye did the joys of earth disdain, Ye toiled and sowed in tears and pain. Farewell, now bring your sheaves and sing Salvation's glad refrain. Swing high your palms, lift up your song, Yea, make it myriad voices strong. Eternally shall praise to Thee, God, and the Lamb belong. Amen. Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Scripture: Revelation 7:13-17 Languages: English Tune Title: GREAT WHITE HOST
