Had God not come, may Israel say

Author: M. Luther Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #527 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Had God not come, may Israel say, Had God not come to aid us, Our enemies on that sad day Would surely have dismayed us; A remnant now, and handful small, Held in contempt and scorn by all, Who cruelly would oppress us. 2 Their furious wrath, did God permit, Would quickly have consumed us, And in the deep and yawning pit With life and limb entombed us; Like men o'er whom dark waters roll, The streams had gone e'en o'er our soul, And mightily o'erwhelmed us. 3 Thanks be to God, who from the pit Snatched us, when it was gaping: Our souls, like birds that break the net, To the blue sky escaping; The snare is broken--we are free! The Lord our Helper praiséd be, The God of earth and heaven. Topics: Various Occasions Thanksgiving Day; Various Occassions Reformation Day Tune Title: [Had God not come, may Israel say]

When my last hour is close at hand

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #528 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand, And I must hence betake me, Lord Jesus Christ, beside me stand, Nor let Thy help forsake me; To Thy blest hands I now commend My soul, at this my earthly end, And Thou wilt safely keep it. 2 My sins, dear Lord, disturb me sore, My conscience cannot slumber; But though as sands upon the shore, My sins may be in number, I will not quail, but think of Thee; Thy death, Thy sorrow, borne for me, Thy sufferings shall uphold me. 3 I have been grafted in the Vine, And hence my comfort borrow, For Thou wilt surely keep me Thine Through fear, and pain, and sorrow; Yea, though I die, I die to Thee, Who through Thy death hast won for me The right to life eternal. 4 Since Thou from death didst rise again, In death Thou wilt not leave me; Lord, Thy ascension soothes my pain, No fear of death shall grieve me; For Thou wilt have me where Thou art, And so with joy I can depart To be with Thee forever. 5 And so I stretch mine arms to Thee, And gladly hence betake me; Peaceful and calm my sleep shall be, No human voice can wake me. But Christ is with me through the strife, And He will bear me into life, And open heaven before me. Topics: Death and Burial Languages: English

His saving Word and works endure, On them I rest and feel secure, With foes around me raging. 2 Seek ye who will another Frield, Who ev'ry need supplieth; Here is the One who help affords; On Him my soul relieth. 'Tis He who our salvation wrought; Our souls by Him were dearly bought: He shed His blood to save us. 3 Seek only Him, ye troubled souls, Who now in sorrow languish; His grace alone is healing balm For all your pain and anguish. Seek Him in ev'ry time of need; Seek Him, and ye shall find indeed The help your heart is craving. 4 My Crown of joy shalt Thou remain, Lord Jesus, Sun of gladness. O let Thy rays illume my night, Dispel all gloom of sadness. That I the crown of life may gain, Do Thou my faith in Thee sustain And by Thy Spirit strengthen. 5 Turn not from me Thy kindly face, Regard my lowly station, And help me bear my daily cross, Thou Fount of consolation. From ev'ry burden grant relief, Restore my soul from ev'ry grief, And praise be Thine forever. Topics: Confirmation Languages: English Tune Title: STRASBURG

The Day Is Surely Drawing Near

Author: B. Ringwaldt, 1532-99; P. A. Peter, 1832-1919 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #538 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near When God's Son, the Anointed, Shall with great majesty appear As Judge of all appointed. All mirth and laughter then shall cease When flames on flames will still increase, As Scripture truly teacheth. 2 A trumpet loud shall then resound And all the earth be shaken. Then all who in their graves are found Shall from their sleep awaken; But all that live shall in that hour By the Almighty's boundless pow'r Be changed at His commanding. 3 A book is opened then to all, A record truly telling What each hath done, both great and small, When he on earth was dwelling; And ev'ry heart be clearly seen, And all be known as they have been In thoughts and words and actions. 4 Then woe to those who scorned the Lord And sought but carnal pleasures, Who here despised His precious Word And loved their earthly treasures! With shame and trembling they will stand And at the Judge's stern command To Satan be delivered. 5 O Jesus, who my debt didst pay And for my sin wast smitten; Within the Book of Life, O may My name be also written! I will not doubt; I trust in Thee, From Satan Thou hast made me free And from all condemnation. 6 Therefore my Intercessor be And for Thy blood and merit Declare my name from judgment free With all who life inherit, That I may see Thee face to face With all Thy saints in that blest place Which Thou for us hast purchased. 7 O Jesus Christ, do not delay, But hasten our salvation; We often tremble on our way In fear and tribulation. Then hear us when we cry to Thee; Come, mighty Judge, and make us free From ev'ry evil! Amen. Topics: Judgment Day; Trinity 26 Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST GEWISSLICH
