The Law of God Is Good and Wise
Author: M. Loy, 1828-1915 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #492 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise
And sets His will before our eyes,
Shows us the way of righteousness,
And dooms to death when we transgress.
2 Its light of holiness imparts
The knowledge of our sinful hearts
That we may see our lost estate
And seek deliv'rance ere too late.
3 To those who help in Christ have found
And would in works of love abound
It shows what deeds are His delight
And should be done as good and right.
4 When men the offered help disdain
And wilfully in sin remain,
Its terror in their ear resounds
And keeps their wickedness in bounds.
5 The Law is good; but since the Fall
Its holiness condemns us all;
It dooms us for our sin to die
And has no pow'r to justify.
6 To Jesus we for refuge flee,
Who from the curse has set us free,
And humbly worship at His throne,
Saved by His grace through faith alone.

Lord God, to You We Give All Praise
Author: Philipp Melanchthon, 1497-1560; Paul Eber, 1511-1569; Emanuel Cronenwett, 1841-1931 Hymnal: Christian Worship #500 (2021) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord God, to you we give all praise,
with grateful hearts our voices raise
that angel hosts you did create
around your glorious throne to wait.
2 They shine with light and heav'nly grace
and constantly behold your face.
They heed your voice, they know it well;
in godly wisdom they excel.
3 They never rest nor sleep as we;
their whole delight is but to be
with you, Lord Jesus, and to keep
your little flock, your lambs and sheep.
4 The ancient dragon is their foe;
his envy and his wrath they know.
It always is his aim and pride
your Christian people to divide.
5 As he of old deceived the world
and into sin and death has hurled,
so now he subtly lies in wait
to undermine both Church and state.
6 A roaring lion, round he goes,
no halt nor rest he ever knows;
he seeks the Christians to devour
and slay them by his dreadful pow'r.
7 But watchful is the angel band
that follows Christ on ev'ry hand
to guard his people where they go
and break the counsel of the foe.
8 O Lord, awaken songs of praise
for angel hosts that guard our days;
teach us to serve you and adore
as angels do forevermore. Topics: Minor Festivals St. Michael and All Angels Scripture: Matthew 18:10 Languages: English Tune Title: ERHALT UNS, HERR

The Glory of These Forty Days
Author: Gregory the Great, c.540-604; Maurice F. Bell, 1862-1947 Hymnal: RitualSong #545 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The glory of these forty days
We celebrate with songs of praise;
For Christ, by whom all things were made,
Himself has fasted and has prayed.
2 Alone and fasting, Moses saw
The loving God who gave the law;
And to Elijah, fasting, came
The steeds and chariots of flame.
3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight,
Delivered from the lions' might;
And John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became
The herald of Messiah's name.
4 Then grant that we like them be true,
Consumed in fast and prayer with you;
Our spirits strengthen with your grace,
And give us joy to see your face.

O Christ, the Healer
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Journeysongs (3rd ed.) #546 (2012) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the healer, We have come
To pray for health, to plead for friends.
How can we fail to be restored,
When reached by love that never ends?
2 From ev'ry ailment flesh endures
Our bodies clamor to be freed;
Yet in our hearts we would confess
That wholeness is our deepest need.
3 How strong, O Lord, are our desires,
How weak our knowledge of ourselves!
Release in us those healing truths
Unconscious pride resists or shelves.
4 In conflicts that destroy our health
We recognize the world's disease;
Our common life declares our ills:
Is there no cure, O Christ, for these?
5 Grant that we all, made one in faith,
In your community may find
The wholeness that, enriching us,
Shall reach the whole of humankind. Topics: Care of the Sick; Healing; Rites of the Church Rite of Anointing (Care of the Sick) Languages: English Tune Title: ERHALT UNS, HERR
