Though we long, in sin-wrought blindness

Author: F.T. Palgrave Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #402 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Though we long, in sin-wrought blindness, From Thy gracious paths have strayed, Cold to Thee and all Thy kindness, Wilful, reckless, or afraid; Through dim clouds that gather round us Thou hast sought, and Thou hast found us. 2 Oft from Thee we veil our faces Children-like, to cheat thine eyes; Sin, and hope to hide the traces! From ourselves ourselves disguise; 'Neath the webs enwoven round us, Thy soul-piercing glance has found us. 3 Sudden, 'midst our idle hours, O'er our sin thy thunders roll, Death his signal waves before us, Night and terror take the soul; Till through double darkness round us, Looks a star,--and Tho hast found us. 4 O most Merciful, most Holy, Light Thy wanderers on their way; Keep us ever thine, thine wholly, Suffer us no more to stray! Cloud and storm oft gather round us; We were lost, but Thou hast found us.

Let Thy Spirit leave me never, Make me Thine alone forever! Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Repentance Languages: English Tune Title: HERR, ICH HABE MISSGEHANDELT.

Once in royal David's city

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: The Hymnal #454 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her Baby In a manger for His bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ, her little Child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall: With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 Jesus is our childhood's pattern, Day by day like us He grew; He was little, weak, and helpless, Tears and smiles like us He knew: And He feeleth for our sadness, And He shareth in our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love; For that Child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heaven above, And He leads His children on To the place where He is gone.

To Realms Of Glory I Behold

Author: C. W. Foss; J. O. Wallin Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #458 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 To realms of glory I behold My risen Lord returning; While I, a stranger in the earth, For heaven sit am yearning. Far from my heav'nly Father’s home, ’Mid toil and sorrow here I roam. 2 Far from my home--how long, dear Lord, Before my exile endeth? But far beyond the realms of sense, My fervent prayer ascendeth: My prayer, unuttered, but a groan, Shall rend the skies and reach Thy throne. 3 Then visions of the goodly land By faith my soul obtaineth; There I shall dwell forevermore Where Christ in glory reigneth, In mansions of that blest abode, The city of the living God. 4 In that fair city is no night, Nor any pain or weeping; There is my treasure, there my heart, Safe in my Savior’s keeping; In heav'n, my blessed Lord, with Thee May all my conversation be. 5 In glory He shall come again To earth as He ascended; So let me wait and watch and pray, Until my day is ended. That day, O Lord, is hid from me, But daily do I wait for Thee. 6 And blessed shall that servant be, O Lord, at Thy returning, Whose heart is waiting, Lord, for Thee, Whose lamp is trimmed and burning; Him wilt Thou take to dwell with Thee In joy and peace eternally.
