Away with grief and sorrow, For lo! your help is here. Behold, in many a place-- O blessed consolation-- We find Him, our salvation, In His pure means of grace. 3 Arise, ye much afflicted! The King is not afar. Rejoice, ye long dejected! Behold the Morning Star. The Lord will give you joy, Though troubles now distress you, With comfort He will bless you, E'en death He will destroy. 4 Arise, ye poor and needy! The King provides for you. He comes with succor speedy, With mercy ever new. Receive your gracious King, The giver of all blessing. Hail Him, His name confessing, And glad Hosannas sing. 5 O rich the gifts Thou bring'st us, Thyself made poor and weak; O love beyond expression, That thus can sinners seek! For this, O Lord, will we Our joyous tribute bring Thee, And glad Hosannas sing Thee, And ever grateful be. Topics: Forerunners of Christ; Advent 3 Used With Tune: AUS MEINES HERZENS GRUNDE

The Kingdom Satan Founded

Author: T. H. Kingo, 1634-1703; C. Døving, 1807-1937 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The kingdom Satan founded Shall now be overthrown, For Christ its fall hath sounded, And through His pow'r alone Shall Satan meet his doom, And be for aye confounded; He from the souls he wounded Shall flee in fear and gloom. 2 Though he would bind forever Our lips with bands of hell, Yet Christ, sent to deliver, Can loose those bands full well, That e'en the dumb may raise His voice with joy and pleasure And sing in sweetest measure To God his thanks and praise. 3 O Jesus! my distresses To Thee are known full well, Thou seest how Satan presses My soul's weak citadel; His aim is to control My members and my senses, With sin and with offenses He steals into my soul. 4 Anon my tongue he bindeth That God it shall not praise; Anon my eyes he blindeth To hide the light of grace; Now he my ears doth close To hinder me from hearing The Gospel's sound so cheering And soothing in my woes. 5 To God I raise my crying Before the mercy-seat, And on His Word relying I grace of Him entreat, That He for Jesus' sake Would cleanse my soul and spirit Through Jesus' blood and merit, And Satan's power break. 6 God, let not love of sinning Thy fear drive from my breast, Lest Satan, triumph winning, Be of my heart possessed; O let Thy chas'tning rod Each day give me direction, To seek Thy sure protection And tell Thy grace abroad. 7 My heart must Thou have solely, My Savior and my God! Come, Jesus, take it wholly, And make it Thine abode! Mold it to Thy control, That I, Thy Word receiving, May find, in Thee believing, Salvation for my soul.

We All Believe in One True God

Author: M. Luther, 1483-1546 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We all believe in one true God, Who created earth and heaven, The Father, who to us in love Hath the right of children given. He both soul and body feedeth, All we need He doth provide us. He through snares and perils leadeth, Watching that no harm betide us. He careth for us day and night, All things are governed by His might. 2 We all believe in Jesus Christ, His own Son, our Lord, possessing An equal Godhead, throne, and might, Source of ev'ry grace and blessing. Born of Mary, virgin mother, By the power of the Spirit, Made true man, our elder Brother, That the lost might life inherit, Was crucified for sinful men And raised by God to life again. 3 We all confess the Holy Ghost, Who sweet grace and comfort giveth And with the Father and the Son In eternal glory liveth, Who the Church, His own creation, Keeps in unity of spirit; Here forgiveness and salvation Daily come through Jesus' merit. All flesh shall rise, and we shall be In bliss with God eternally. Topics: Creed Used With Tune: WIR GLAUBEN ALL Text Sources: Tr. composite

Thy Way and All Thy Sorrows

Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76; A. T. Russell, 1806-74 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy way and all thy sorrows, Give thou into His hand, His gracious care unfailing, Who doth the heav’ns command; Their course and path He giveth To clouds and air and wind; A way thy feet may follow, He too for thee will find. 2 On Him be Thy reliance, As thou would'st prosper well; To make thy work enduring Thy mind on His must dwell. God yieldeth naught to sorrow And self tormenting care; Naught, naught with him availeth; No power save that of pray'r. 3 Thy truth and grace, O Father, Behold and surely know, Both what is good and evil, For mortal man below: And whatso'e'er Thou choosest Thou dost, great God, fulfill, And into being bringest Whate'er is in Thy will. 4 Thy way is ever open; Thou dost on naught depend; Thine act is only blessing, Thy path light without end. Thy work can no man hinder; Thy purpose none can stay, Since Thou to bless Thy children Through all dost make a way. 5 In vain the pow'rs of darkness Thy will, O God, oppose; High over all undoubting, Thy pleasure onward goes. Whate'er Thy will resolveth, Whate'er Thou dost intend, Its destined work performeth True to its aim and end. 6 Then hope, my feeble spirit, And be thou undismayed; God helps in ev'ry trial, And makes thee unafraid. Await God's time with pleasure, Then shall thine eyes behold The sun of joy and gladness His brightest beams unfold. 7 Arise, arise! thy sadness, Thy cares send far away; Away each thought afflicting That on the heart doth prey. Not in thy hands the guidance Of all events doth dwell; God on His throne o'erruleth, He guideth all things well. 8 Leave all to His direction; In wisdom He doth reign; Thy wonder far exceeding, He will His course maintain; So He as Him beseemeth, With wonder-working skill, Shall put away the sorrows That now thy spirit fill. 9 Awhile His consolation He will to thee deny, And seem as though in spirit He far from thee would fly; Awhile distress and anguish Shall compass thee around, Nor to thy supplication An answ'ring voice be found. 10 But if thou ne'er forsake Him, Thou shalt deliv'rance find; Behold all unexpected, He will thy soul unbind. He from thy heavy burden Will soon thy heart set free; Yea, from that weight no evil Hath yet befallen thee. 11 Thou child of truth, how blessed! A conqu'ror soon shalt be, With songs of glad thanksgiving A crown awaiteth thee. To thee the palm triumphal By god's own hand is giv'n, Thine, to His name who saved thee, To sing the songs of heav'n. 12 Give, Lord, this consummation To all our hearts’ distress, Our hands, our feet, O strengthen, In death our spirits bless. Thy truth and Thy protection For evermore we pray; With these in heav’nly glory Shall end our certain way. Topics: Epiphany 4 Scripture: Psalm 37 Used With Tune: BEFIEHL DU DEINE WEGE

I Walk in Danger All the Way

Author: H. A. Brorson, 1694-1764; D. G. Ristad, 1863-1938 Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I walk in danger all the way; The thought shall never leave me That Satan, who has marked his prey, Is plotting to deceive me. This foe with hidden snares May seize me unawares If e'er I fail to watch and pray; I walk in danger all the way. 2 I pass through trials all the way, With sin and ills contending; In patience I must bear each day The cross of God's own sending. Oft in adversity I know not where to flee, When storms of woe my soul dismay; I pass through trials all the way. 3 Death doth pursue me all the way; Nowhere I rest securely. He comes by night, he comes by day, And takes his prey most surely. A failing breath, and I In death's strong grasp may lie To face eternity for aye. Death doth pursue me all the way. 4 I walk with angels all the way; They shield me and befriend me. All Satan's pow'r is held at bay When heav'nly hosts attend me. They are my sure defense, All fear and sorrow, hence! Unharmed by foes, do what they may, I walk with angels all the way. 5 I walk with Jesus all the way; His guidance never fails me. Within His wounds I find a stay When Satan's pow'r assails me, And, by His footsteps led, My path I safely tread. In spite of ills that threaten may, I walk with Jesus all the way. 6 My walk is heav'nward all the way; Await my soul, the morrow, When thou shalt find release for aye From all thy sin and sorrow. All worldly pomp, begone! To heav'n I now press on. For all the world I would not stay; My walk is heav'nward all the way.

Oudaen; Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Meter: 6.7.6.7 with refrain Appears in 2 hymnals Refrain First Line: For now is Christ arisen Lyrics: 1 How rich, at Eastertide, The harvest we are reaping, For Christ, the Crucified, Gives comfort to the weeping. Saved by his bitter death, With all our sins forgiven, We learn to live by faith, For now is Christ arisen, arisen, arisen; For now is Christ arisen. 2 As first-gifts hallow all If offered in thanksgiving, So Christ has died for all, The First of all the living. Wherefore, the blessed dead, Who else had vainly striven, Are on with Him, their Head, For now is Christ arisen, arisen, arisen; For now is Christ arisen. 3 The Lord, who taught the way Of dying and forsaking, Shall bring us to that day Of our complete awaking. Then let no ill destroy The hope we have of heaven: Come, serve our God with joy, For now is Christ arisen, arisen, arisen; For now is Christ arisen. Topics: Resurrection Used With Tune: VRUECHTEN

By Thy dead and wholesome Word, In ev'ry place resounding. 4 He is the Hope and saving Light Of lands benighted; By Him are they who dwelt in night Fed and lighted. He is Israel's Praise and Bliss, Their Joy, Reward, and Glory. Topics: Nunc Dimittis Used With Tune: MIT FRIED UND FREUD ICH FAHR DAHIN Text Sources: Tr. composite
