The Father's hand hath written there My title as His child and heir, "The kingdom's thine forever." That promise faileth never. 3 Today I was my Savior's guest; My soul was here so richly blest, The bread of Life receiving.

Cox , 1812-97 Meter: 8.8.7.8.7 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Our blessed Savior sev'n times spoke Lyrics: 1 Our blessed Savior sev'n times spoke When on the cross our sins He took And died lest we should perish. Let us His last and dying words In our remembrance cherish. 2 "Father, forgive these men; for, lo, They truly know not what they do." So far His love extended. Forgive us, Lord, for we, too, have Through ignorance offended. 3 Now to the contrite thief He cries: "Thou, verily, in Paradise Shalt meet Me ere tomorrow." Lord, take us to Thy kingdom soon Who linger here in sorrow. 4 To weeping Mary, standing by, "Behold thy son," now hear Him cry; To John, "Behold thy mother." Provide, O Lord, for those we leave: Let each befriend the other. 5 The Savior's fourth word was "I thirst." O mighty Prince of Life, Thy thirst For us and our salvation Is truly great; do help us, then, That we escape damnation. 6 The fifth, "My God, My God, O why Forsake Me?" Hark, the awe-full cry! Lord, Thou wast here forsaken That we might be received on high; Let this hope not be shaken. 7 The sixth, when victory was won, "'Tis finished!" for Thy work was done. Grant, Lord, that, onward pressing, We may the work Thou dost impose Fulfil with Thine own blessing. 8 The last, as woe and suff'rings end, "O God, My Father, I commend Into Thy hands My spirit." Be this, dear Lord, my dying wish; O heav'nly Father, hear it. 9 Whoe'er, by sense of sin oppressed, Upon these words his thoughts will rest, He joy and hope obtaineth And through God's love and boundless grace A peaceful conscience gaineth. 10 O Jesus Christ, Thou Crucified, Who hast for our offenses died, Grant that we e'er may ponder Thy wounds, Thy cross, Thy bitter death, Both here below and yonder.

In This Our Happy Christmastide

Døving, 1867-1937 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In this our happy Christmastide The joyful bells are ringing; To praise be all our pow'rs applied, God's grace and mercy singing; In Him by whom the world was made, Now in the lowly manger laid, Rejoice we in the spirit; Thy praise, O Savior, we will sound Unto the earth's remotest bound, That all the world shall hear it. 2 A little Son, the Virgin-born, True God from everlasting To rescue us who were forlorn, His lot with us is casting; It moved His tender heart to see This world of sin and misery In condemnation lying; Therefore He came from realms above Down to our earth, drawn by His love, To sooth our grief and sighing. 3 Our thanks we offer Him today, Although a poor oblation, Alleluia! our joyful lay, Shall sound through ev'ry nation; Now in our camp the Ark we see, Therefore we shout the victory With joyful hearts unfearing; We sing of peace, the peace profound, That hell shall tremble at the sound, Our Christmas anthem hearing. 4 That God has laid His anger by, He by His gift hath shown us; He gives His Son for us to die, In Him He now doth own us; These joyful tidings tell abroad, That Jesus Christ, the Son of God, From sin doth us deliver; Who then should not be glad today When Christ is born, the sinners' stay, Who is of grace the giver? 5 As darkest night must fade and die Before the sun's appearing, So fades my grief away, when I Think on these tidings cheering, That God from all eternity Hath loved the world, and hath on me Bestowed His grace and favor; I'll ne'er forget the angels' strain: Peace--peace on earth, good will to men, To you is born a Savior! 6 Although my joyful Christmas lay Is mingled with my sighing, The cross shall never take away My joy and praise undying; For when the heart is most opprest, The harp of joy is tuned the best, The better strains are ringing, The cross itself, at Jesus' will, Must aid my soul, that I may still In grief His praise be singing. 7 Alleluia! our strife is o'er, Who, then, should pine in sadness? Who now should grieve in anguish sore In these our days of gladness? Thou Church of God, O sing this morn: To us is Christ the Savior born, O joy that none can sever! Alleluia! sing thou my heart, Now Christ is mine, I can depart To be with Him forever. Topics: Presentation of Christ; Christmas 1 Used With Tune: DER TAG, DER IST SO FREUDENREICH

Behold the vineyard Thou hast tilled With thorns and thistles filled. 'Tis true, Thy plants are there; But, ah, how weak and rare! How slight the pow'r in evidence Of Word and Sacraments! 2 Come, Jesus, come and contemplate Thy vineyard's sad estate; Baptized are millions in Thy name, But where is faith's pure flame? Of what avail that we Know of Thine agony So long as we do not o'erthrow In faith the wicked foe? 3 O Holy Ghost, to Thee, our light, We cry by day, by night: Come, grant us of the light and pow'r Our fathers had of yore; When Thy dear Church did stand A tree, deep-rooted, grand; Full-crowned with blossoms white as snow, With purple fruits aglow!
