To Avert from Us God's Wrath

Author: Martin Luther; Christian Ignatius Latrobe; Dirk French Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #416 (1995) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Self-Examination Lyrics: 1 To avert from men God’s wrath, Jesus suffered in our stead; by an ignominious death he a full atonement made; and by his most precious blood brought us, sinners, nigh to God. 2 Christ bids each afflicted soul "Come that I may soothe your grief. No one who is strong and whole needs a doctor for relief; therefore have no fear, draw nigh, that your want I may supply." 3 But examine first your case, whether you be in the faith; do you long for pard’ning grace? Is your only hope his death? Then, how e’er your soul’s oppressed, Come, you are a worthy guest. 4 They who Jesus’ mercy knows are from wrath and envy freed; love unto our neighbor shows that we are his flock indeed; thus we may in all our ways show forth our Redeemer’s praise. Scripture: Matthew 9:10-13 Languages: English Tune Title: PETRA

Judge me, O Lord, and prove my ways

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.XXVI (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Self-Examination Lyrics: 1 Judge me, O Lord, and prove my ways, And try my reins, and try my heart; My faith upon thy promise stays, Nor from thy law my feet depart. 2 I hate to walk, I hate to sit With men of vanity and lies: The scoffer and the hypocrite Are the abhorrence of mine eyes. 3 Amongst the saints will I appear Array'd in robes of innocence; But when I stand before thy bar, The blood of Christ is my defence. 4 I love thy habitation, Lord, The temple where thine honours dwell; There shall I hear thine holy word, And there thy works of wonder tell. 5 Let not my soul be join'd at last With men of treachery and blood, Since I my days on earth have past Among the saints and near my God.

Lyrics: 1 Time onward flows like a river vast, While age on age it has borne to the sea; And down this stream we have come at last, To see time end in eternity. Refrain: Eternity! Eternity! Will you dwell with Christ in eternity? 2 What is this life but a fleeting day? Soon death will come with a stern decree; Then one by one we must pass away, And change from time to eternity. [Refrain] 3 A dial true is the Book divine, Its hands approach with a certainty The tolling point in the death of time, The solemn change to eternity. [Refrain] 4 Oh, joyful day to the faithful soul Who walks with Christ in His purity! Life’s battle fought and the vict’ry won, He shouts from time to eternity. [Refrain] Scripture: Jude 21 Tune Title: [Time onward flows like a river vast]

Jehovah's Perfect Law

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #30 (1934) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Self-Examination Lyrics: 1 Jehovah's perfect law Restores the soul again; His testimony sure Gives wisdom unto men; The precepts of the Lord are right, And fill the heart with great delight. 2 The Lord's commands are pure, They light and joy restore; Jehovah's fear is clean, Enduring evermore; His statutes, let the world confess, Are wholly truth and righteousness. 3 They are to be desired Above the finest gold; Than honey from the comb More sweetness far they hold; With warnings they Thy servant guard, In keeping them is great reward. 4 His errors who can know? Cleanse me from hidden stain; Keep me from wilful sins, Nor let them o'er me reign; And then I upright shall appear And be from great transgressions clear. 5 When Thou dost search my life, May all my thoughts within And all the words I speak Thy full approval win. O Lord, Thou art a rock to me, And my Redeemer Thou shalt be. Scripture: Psalm 19 Languages: English Tune Title: HADDAM
