O Thou Essential Word
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #275 (1880) Topics: The Catechism The Redeemer Lyrics: 1 O Thou Essential Word,
Who wast from the beginning
With God, for Thou wast God;
Thou hope of all the sinning,
Sent down to save our race,
Most welcome, Lord, Thou art,
Redeemer, Fount of grace,
To this my longing heart.
2 Come, self-existent Word,
And speak Thou in my spirit!
The soul where Thou art heard
Doth endless peace inherit.
Thou light that lightenest all,
Abide through faith in me,
Nor let me from Thee fall,
And seek no guide but Thee.
3 Ah! what hath stirred Thy heart,
What cry hath mounted thither,
And reached Thy heavenly throne,
And drawn Thee, Savior, hither?
It was Thy wondrous love,
And my most utter need,
Made Thy compassions move,
Stronger than death indeed.
4 Then let me give my heart
To Him who loved me, wholly;
And live, while here I dwell,
To show His praises solely:
Yes, Jesus, form anew
This stony heart of mine,
Make it till death still true
To Thee, forever Thine.
5 Let naught be left within
But what Thy hand hath planted;
Root out the weeds of sin,
And quell the foe who haunted
My soul, and sowed the tares;
From Thee comes nothing ill,
O save me from his snares,
Make plain my pathway still.
6 Thou art the Life, O Lord,
And Thou its Light art only!
Let not Thy blessèd rays
Still leave me dark and lonely.
Star of the East, arise!
Drive all my clouds away,
Till earth’s dim twilight dies
Into the perfect day. Languages: English

Jesus! the very thought of Thee
Chief of sinners though I be
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #287 (1880) Topics: The Catechism The Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Chief of sinners though I be,
Jesus shed His blood for me;
Died that I might live on high,
Lived that I might never die.
As the branch is to the vine,
I am His and He is mine.
2 O the hight of Jesus' love!
Higher than the heav'ns above,
Deeper than the depths of sea,
Lasting to eternity;
Love that found me, wondrous thought!
Found me when I sought Him not.
3 Jesus only can impart
Balm to heal the smitten heart,
Peace that flows from sin forgiven;
Joy that lifts the soul to heaven;
Faith and hope to walk with God
In the way that Enoch trod.
4 Chief of sinners though I be,
Christ is all in all to me;
All my wants to Him are known,
All my sorrows are His own.
Safe with Him from earthly strife
He sustains the hidden life.
5 O my Savior! help afford,
By Thy Spirit and Thy Word!
When my wayward heart would stray,
Keep me in the narrow way;
Grace in time of need supply
While I live and when I die. Languages: English
Chief of sinners though I be
