How Blessed Is The Little Flock

Author: C. Doving; N. J. Holm Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #86 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Lyrics: 1 How blessed is the little flock, Whom Jesus calls His own! He is their Savior and their rock, They trust in Him alone; They walk by faith and hope and love, But they shall dwell with Him above, When hope and faith shall pass away, And love shall last for aye. 2 My Jesus, am I in that band, And wilt Thou call me Thine? Do I among the chosen stand Whose lamps so brightly shine? O let me not lie down to rest Till this I know, my Savior blest, Till I can say, by grace restored: Thou know'st I love Thee, Lord! 3 And even if with tears it be, That this to Thee I say, Yet Thou in grace wilt look on me And wipe my tears away; Yea, when but Thou who all dost know, In me canst find Thy love below And own me Thine, then well is me,-- My all I have in Thee.

Praise The Lord That He Has Built

Author: J. C. Aaberg Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #88 (1930) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Lyrics: 1 Praise the Lord that He has built Here on earth a sanctuary, Where the soul, oppressed by guilt, Safe beneath His wings may tarry, While His mercy, love and grace All its guilty stains efface. 2 Built upon the rock it stands Firmly through the passing ages, Heeding not the world's demands, Nor the storm that round it rages, But to souls with cares replete It remains a blest retreat. 3 There the wounded hearts are healed, Grace to yearning souls imparted, Light to sightless eyes revealed, Strength renewed in feeble-hearted, So that souls, from weakness prone, Grow like trees in Lebanon. 4 Send us, Lord, Thy heav'nly dove, Open wide Thy living fountain, Deck Thine altar with Thy love, Teach us from Thy holy mountain, Shield us all beneath Thy wing Till, at home, Thy praise we sing.

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #502 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Means of Grace Public Worship Lyrics: 1 Lord! 'tis a pleasant thing, to stand In gardens planted by thy hand.
