He that goeth forth with weeping

Author: Thomas Hastings, Mus. Doc.

Up, my soul, gird thee with pow'r

Author: Johann Burchard Freystein; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #396 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Up, my soul, gird thee with power, Watch! to prayer betake thee; Lest the sudden evil hour Unawares o'ertake thee. Satan's prey Soon are they, Who, with best endeavor, Watch not, pray not, ever. 2 But first rouse thee, and awake From secure indiff'rence; Else will follow in its wake Woe without deliv'rance. Take thou heed! Utter need, Death in sins might find thee, Ere thou look behind thee. 3 Wake, arouse! else can the Lord Not enlighten, ground thee; Nor thou see the quickening Word Shine in splendor round thee. God demands Eyes and hands Open for the offers, He so richly proffers. 4 With thy watching mingle prayer; Grace but rids from slumber. God rids thee from slothful care And the weights that cumber; Else will still Mind and will Lukewarm praises tender, And cold service render. 5 God will have it that we ask, And it shall be given; Who pray alway, alway bask In the grace of heaven. Ere they plead Will He heed, Strengthen, keep, defend them, And deliv'rance send them. 6 Cheer thee then, my soul! all must Work for good, and bless us, If we but in prayerful trust To God's Son address us; And He will Richly fill, And His Spirit send us, Who to Him commend us. 7 Let us watch then, pray, with heed, God will prove our Hearer; For the hour of utmost need Constantly draws nearer. Saints will cheer, Sinners fear, When the trumpet calleth, Earth in ruins falleth. Languages: English Tune Title: NASSAU (Straf mich nicht in deinem Zorn)

God of grace, whose Word is sure

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #398 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 God of grace, whose Word is sure, Thou who keenest truth forever, That my trust may rest secure On this ground that wavers never, Let Thy truth be dear to me, That my soul may faithful be. 2 Ever true this word remains: He who Christ to own refuses, While he earthly comfort gains, Everlasting comfort loses; For the Savior will not own Him before the Father's throne. 3 To the banner of the cross I fidelity have plighted, It would be my endless loss If this solemn vow were slighted; Therefore Jesus, none but He, Shall my constant watchword be. 4 Let me, till my latest breath, Christ confess with constant meekness; Let me faithful be till death, Strong in Him 'mid all my weakness; Let me live in Him, and die Heir of mansions in the sky.

O Lord! how happy is the time

Author: Wolfgang Christoph Dessler; Greville Matheson Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #421 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 O Lord! how happy is the time, When in Thy love I rest, When from my weariness I climb E'en to Thy tender breast. The night of sorrow endeth there, The rays outshine the sun, And in Thy pardon, and Thy care, The heav'n of heav'ns is won. 2 The world may call itself my foe, Or let the world allure, I care not for the world, I go To this tried Friend and sure. And when life's fiercest storms are sent, Upon life's wildest sea, My little bark is confident, Because it holds by Thee. 3 When the law threatens endless death, Upon the dreadful hill, Straightway from its consuming breath My soul mounts higher still; It hastes to Jesus, wounded, slain, And finds in Him its home, Whence it shall not go forth again, And where no death can come. 4 I do not fear the wilderness, Where Thou hast been before; Nay! rather would I daily press Toward Thee, and near Thee more! Thou art my strength, on Thee I lean, My heart Thou makest sing, And to Thy pastures rich and green Thy chosen flock wilt bring. 5 And if the gate that opens there Be closed to other men, It is not closed to those who share The heart of Jesus then. That is not losing much of life, Which is not losing thee, Who art as present in the strife, As in the victory! Languages: English Tune Title: CHESTER

A-bide with me! fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #440 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! fast falls the eventide, The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see. O Thou who changes not, abide with me! 3 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me. 4 Come not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing on Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea; O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! 5 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee: On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 6 I need Thy presence every passing hour: What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me! 7 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless: Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me! 8 Hold Thou Thy Cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord! abide with me!

Now lay we calmly in the grave

With milk and honey blest, Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice opprest. I know not, O I know not What joys await us there, What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare! 2 They stand, those halls of Zion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, and all the martyr-throng; The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene. The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David, And there, from care released, The shout of them that triumph, The song of them that feast; And they who with their Leader Have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white. 4 Jerusalem the golden, Shall I e'er see thy face? O sweet and pleasant city, Shall I e'er win thy grace? I have the hope within me To comfort and to bless; Shall I e'er win the prize itself? O my Redeemer, yes! Languages: English Tune Title: EWING
