Salvation unto Us Has Come

Author: Paul Speratus, 1484-1551 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 8 Lyrics: 1 Salvation unto us has come By God's free grace and favor; Good works cannot avert our doom, They help and save us never. Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone, Who did for all the world atone; He is our mediator. 2 Theirs was a false, misleading dream Who thought God's law was given That sinners might themselves redeem And by their works gain heaven. The Law is but a mirror bright To bring the inbred sin to light That lurks within our nature. 3 And yet the Law fulfilled must be, Or we were lost forever; Therefore God sent his Son that he Might us from death deliver. He all the Law for us fulfilled, And thus his Father's anger stilled Which over us impended. 4 Faith clings to Jesus' cross alone And rests in him unceasing; And by its fruits true faith is known, With love and hope increasing. For faith alone can justify; Works serve our neighbor and supply The proof that faith is living. 5 All blessing, honor, thanks, and praise To Father, Son, and Spirit, The God who saved us by his grace, All glory to his merit. O triune God in heav'n above, You have revealed your saving love; Your blessed name we hallow. Used With Tune: ES IS DAS HEIL Text Sources: Tr. The Lutheran Hymnal, 1941, alt.

Touch the Earth Lightly

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 5.5.10 D Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 8 Year A Lyrics: 1 Touch the earth lightly, use the earth gently, nourish the life of the world in our care: gift of great wonder, ours to surrender, trust for the children tomorrow will bear. 2 We who endanger, who create hunger, agents of death for all creatures that live, we who would foster clouds of disaster, God of our planet, forestall and forgive! 3 Let there be greening, birth from the burning, water that blesses and air that is sweet, health in God's garden, hope in God's children, regeneration that peace will complete. 4 God of all living, God of all loving, God of the seedling, the snow and the sun, teach us, deflect us, Christ reconnect us, using us gently, and making us one.
