Welcome, thou Victor in the strife

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Benjamin Schmolck Appears in 63 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Welcome, Thou Victor in the strife, Now welcome from the cave! To-day we triumph in Thy life Around Thy empty grave. 2 The dwellings of the just resound With songs of victory; For in their midst, Lord, Thou art found, And brightest peace with Thee. 3 Impart to us the spoils, we pray, Thou didst for us achieve; We meet within Thy house to-day Our portion to receive. 4 We die with Thee: O let us live Henceforth to Thee aright; The blessings Thou hast died to give, Be daily in our sight. 5 Fearless we lay us in the tomb, And sleep the night away, If Thou art there to break the gloom, And call us back to day. 6 Death hurts us not; his power is gone, And pointless are his darts; Now hath God's favor on us shone, And joy fills all our hearts.

Lord, when we bend before thy throne

Author: Joseph D. Carlyle Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 326 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, when we bend before Thy throne, And our confessions pour, Teach us to feel the sins we own, And hate what we deplore. 2 Our broken spirits, pitying, see; True penitence impart; Then let a kindling glance from Thee Beam hope upon the heart. 3 When we disclose our wants in prayer, May we our wills resign; And not a thought our bosom share Which is not wholly Thine. 5 Let faith each weak petition fill, And waft it to the skies; And teach our hearts 'tis goodness still That grants it, or denies. Amen. Topics: General; Penitence Used With Tune: [Lord, when we bend before Thy throne]

Blest With The Joys Of Innocence

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blest with the joys of innocence, Adam our father stood, Till he debased his soul to sense, And ate th’unlawful food. 2 Now we are born a sensual race, To sinful joys inclined; Reason has lost its native place, And flesh enslaves the mind. 3 While flesh, and sense, and passion reigns, Sin is the sweetest good; We fancy music in our chains, And so forget the load. 4 Great God! renew our ruined frame, Our broken powers restore, Inspire us with a heav’nly flame, And flesh shall reign no more. 5 Eternal Spirit! write Thy law Upon our inward parts, And let the second Adam draw His image on our hearts.

Wie bist du mir so innig gut

Author: Gerhard Tersteegen, 1697-1769 Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wie bist du mir so innig gut, mein Hoherpriester Du! Wie kräftig spricht Dein teures Blut und bring mein Herz zur Ruh. 2 Wenn mein Gewissen zagen will Vor meiner Sündenschuld, so macht Dein Blut mich wieder still, setzt mich bei Gott in Huld. 3 Es gibt dem schwerbedrückten Sinn Freimütigkeit zu Dir, daß ich in Dir zufrieden bin, wie arm ich bin in mir. 4 Bin ich gestrauchelt hier und da Und will verzagen fast, spür Dein Versöhnungsblut ich nah; das nimmt mir meine Last. 5 Es lindert meinen tiefen Schmerz Durch seine milde Kraft, es stillet mein verstörtes Herz und neuen Glauben schafft. 6 Zieh mich in Dein versöhnend Herz, mein Jesus, tief hinein, laß es in aller Not und Schmerz mir Burg und Zuflucht sein! Used With Tune: [Wie bist du mir so innig gut]
