From Eternity, O God

Author: C. Neumann, 1648-1715 ; A. Crull, 1846-1923 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #220 (1996) Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 From eternity, O God, In Thy Son Thou didst elect me. Therefore, Father, on life's road Graciously to heav'n direct me; Send to me Thy Holy Spirit That His gifts I may inherit. 2 Though alive, I'm dead in sin, Lost to all good things by nature. Holy Ghost, change me within, Make of me a new-born creature; For the flesh works ruination And can never gain salvation. 3 Drive away the gloomy night Of my heart's perverse reflection. Quench all thoughts that are not right; Hold my reason in subjection. Grant that I from Thee, with yearning, Wisdom always may be learning. 4 All desire and thoughts of mine From my youth are only evil. Save me by Thy pow'r divine From myself and from the devil; Give me strength in ample measure Both to will and do Thy pleasure. 5 Oh, create a heart in me That in Thee, my God believeth And o'er the iniquity Of my sins most truly grieveth. When dark hours of woe betide me, In the wounds of Jesus hide me. 6 As a branch upon a vine, In my blessed Lord implant me; Ever of my Head divine To remain a member grant me. O let Him, my Lord and Savior, Be my Life and Love forever! 7 Faith and hope and charity Graciously, O Father, give me; Be my Guardian constantly That the devil may not grieve me. Grant me humbleness and gladness, Peace and patience in my sadness. 8 Help me speak what's right and good And keep silence on occasion. Help me pray, Lord, as I should, Help me bear my tribulation. Help me die and let my spirit Everlasting life inherit. Topics: Election; Epiphany 5 Languages: English Tune Title: LIEBSTER JESU, WIR SIND HIER

Let us here Thy glory see, And in tender pity make it Now Thy child, and leave it never, Thine of earth and Thine forever. 4 Make it, Lord, Thy member now; Shepherd, take Thy lamb, and feed it; Prince of Peace, its peace be Thou; Way of life, to heaven lead it, Vine, this branch may nothing sever, Graft by faith in Thee forever. 5 Now upon Thy heart it lies, What our hearts so dearly treasure: Heavenward lead our burdened sighs, Pour Thy blessing without measure; Write the name we now have given-- Write it in the book of heaven.
