Who Is This that Comes from Edom

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 102 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who is this that comes from Edom, All His raiment stained with blood, To the slave proclaiming freedom, Bringing and bestowing good, Glorious in the garb He wears, Glorious in the spoil He bears? 2 ’Tis the Savior, now victorious Trav'ling onward in His might; ’Tis the Savior; oh, how glorious To His people is the sight! Satan conquered and the grave, Jesus now is strong to save. 3 Why that blood His raiment staining? ’Tis the blood of many slain; Of His foes there’s none remaining, None the contest to maintain. Fall'n they are, no more to rise; All their glory prostrate lies. 4 Mighty Victor, reign forever, Wear the crown so dearly won; Never shall Thy people, never Cease to sing what Thou hast done. Thou hast fought Thy people’s foes; Thou wilt heal Thy people’s woes. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:10 Used With Tune: NEANDER

Heilige mir Mund un Ohr, Zeuch das Herz zu dir empor! 4 Mache mich zum guten Lande, Wenn dein Saatkorn in mich fällt, Gieb mir Licht in dem Bestande; Und was mir wird vorgestellt; Präge meinem Herzen ein, Laß es mir zur Frucht gedeihn. 5 Stärk in mir den schwachen Glauben, Laß dein theures Kleinod mir Nimmer aus dem Herzen rauben, Halte mir dein Wor stets für; Ja, das sei mein Morgenstern, Der mich führet zu dem Herrn! 6 Rede, Herr, so will ich hören, Und dein Wille werd erfüllt! Laß nichts meine Andacht stören, Wenn der Brunn’ des Lebens quillt. Speise mich mit Himmelsbrot, Tröste mich in aller Not! 7 Öffne mir die Lebensauen, Daß dein Lamm sich weiden kann; Laß mir Himmelsmanna thauen, Zeige mir die rechte Bahn Hier aus diesem Jammerthal Zu des Himmels Freudensaal.

Precious Bible! What a Treasure

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 142 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Precious Bible! what a treasure Does the Word of God afford? All I want for life or pleasure, Food and med’cine, shield and sword: Let the world account me poor, Having this I need no more. 2. Food to which the world’s a stranger, Here my hungry soul enjoys; Of excess there is no danger, Though it fills, it never cloys: On a dying Christ I feed, He is meat and drink indeed. 3. When my faith is faint and sickly, Or when Satan wounds my mind, Cordials, to revive me quickly, Healing med’cines here I find: To the promises I flee, Each affords a remedy. 4. In the hour of dark temptation Satan cannot make me yield; For the Word of consolation Is to me a mighty shield While the scripture truths are sure, From his malice I’m secure. 5. Vain his threats to overcome me, When I take the Spirits’ sword; Then with ease I drive him from me. Satan trembles at the word: ’Tis a sword for conquest made, Keen the edge, and strong the blade. 6. Shall I envy then the miser Doting on his golden store? Sure I am, or should be, wiser, I am rich, ’tis he is poor: Jesus gives me in his word, Food and med’cine, shield and sword. Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS OLD Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W.
