Salvation unto Us Has Come

Author: Paul Speratus, 1484-1551 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #555 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Salvation unto us has come By God's free grace and favor; Good works cannot avert our doom, They help and save us never. Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone, Who did for all the world atone; He is our one Redeemer. 2 What God did in His Law demand And none to Him could render Caused wrath and woe on ev'ry hand For man, the vile offender. Our flesh has not those pure desires The spirit of the Law requires, And lost is our condition. 3 It was a false, misleading dream That God His Law had given That sinners could themselves redeem And by their works gain heaven. The Law is but a mirror bright To bring the inbred sin to light That lurks within our nature. 4 From sin our flesh could not abstain, Sin held its sway unceasing; The task was useless and in vain, Our guilt was e'er increasing. None can remove sin's poisoned dart Or purify our guileful heart-- So deep is our corruption. 5 Yet as the law must be fulfilled Or we must die despairing, Christ came and has God's anger stilled, Our human nature sharing. He has for us the Law obeyed And thus the Father's vengeance stayed Which over us impended. 6 Since Christ has full atonement made And brought to us salvation, Each Christian therefore may be glad And build on this foundation. Your grace alone, dear Lord, I plead, Your death is now my life indeed, For You have paid my ransom. 7 Let me not doubt, but truly see Your Word cannot be broken: Your call rings out, "Come unto Me!" No falsehood have You spoken. Baptized into Your precious name, My faith cannot be put to shame, And I shall never perish. 8 The Law reveals the guilt of sin And makes us conscience-stricken; But then the Gospel enters in The sinful soul to quicken. Come to the cross, trust Christ, and live; The Law no peace can ever give, No comfort and no blessing. 9 Faith clings to Jesus' cross alone And rests in Him unceasing; And by its fruits true faith is known, With love and hope increasing. For faith alone can justify; Works serve our neighbor and supply The proof that faith is living. 10 All blessing, honor, thanks, and praise To Father, Son, and Spirit, The God who saved us by His grace; All glory to His merit. O triune God in heav'n above, You have revealed Your saving love; Your blessed name we hallow. Scripture: Romans 3:10-31 Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST DAS HEIL

Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Richard Massie, 1800-87 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #556 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice, With exultation springing, And with united heart and voice And holy rapture singing, Proclaim the wonders God has done, How His right arm the vict'ry won, What price our ransom cost Him! 2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay; Death brooded darkly o'er me. Sin was my torment night and day; In sin my mother bore me. But daily deeper still I fell; My life became a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. 3 My own good works all came to naught, No grace or merit gaining; Free will against God's judgment fought, Dead to all good remaining. My fears increased till sheer despair Left only death to be my share; The pangs of hell I suffered. 4 But God had seen my wretched state Before the world's foundation, And mindful of His mercies great, He planned for my salvation. He turned to me a father's heart; He did not choose the easy part But gave His dearest treasure. 5 God said to His beloved Son: "It's time to have compassion. Then go, bright jewel of My crown, And bring to all salvation. From sin and sorrow set them free; Slay bitter death for them that they May live with You forever." 6 The Son obeyed His Father's will, Was born of virgin mother; And God's good pleasure to fulfill, He came to be my brother. His royal pow'r disguised He bore; A servant's form, like mine, He wore To lead the devil captive. 7 To me He said: "Stay close to Me, I am your rock and castle. Your ransom I Myself will be; For you I strive and wrestle. For I am yours, and you are Mine, And where I am you may remain; The foe shall not divide us. 8 "Though he will shed My precious blood, Me of My life bereaving, All this I suffer for your good; Be steadfast and believing. Life will from death the vict'ry win; My innocence shall bear your sin, And you are blest forever. 9 "Now to My Father I depart, From earth to heav'n ascending, And, heav'nly wisdom to impart, The Holy Spirit sending; In trouble He will comfort you And teach you always to be true And into truth shall guide you. 10 "What I on earth have done and taught Guide all your life and teaching; So shall the kingdom's work be wrought And honored in your preaching. But watch lest foes with base alloy The heav'nly treasure should destroy; This final word I leave you." Scripture: Psalm 98:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: NUN FREUT EUCH

How dearly it has cost him! 2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay; death brooded darkly o'er me. Sin was my torment night and day; in sin my mother bore me. Yet deep and deeper still I fell; life had became a living hell, so firmly sin possessed me. 3 My own good works availed me naught, no merit they attaining; my will against God's judgment fought, no hope for me remaining. My fears increased till sheer despair left only death to be my share and hell to be my sentence. 4 But God beheld my wretched state before the world's foundation, and, mindful of his mercies great, he planned for my salvation.

If Your Beloved Son, O God

Author: Johann Heermann, 1585-1647 Hymnal: Christian Worship #559 (2021) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 If your beloved Son, O God, had not to earth descended and in our mortal flesh and blood had not sin's power ended, then this poor, wretched soul of mine in hell eternally would pine because of my transgression. 2 But now I find sweet peace and rest; despair no more reigns o'er me. No more am I by sin oppressed, for Christ has borne sin for me. Upon the cross for me he died that, reconciled, I might abide with you, my God, forever. 3 I trust in him with all my heart; now all my sorrow ceases. His words abiding peace impart; his blood from guilt releases. Free grace thro' him I now obtain; he washes me from ev'ry stain, and pure I stand before him. 4 All righteousness by works is vain; the law brings condemnation. True righteousness by faith I gain; Christ's work is my salvation. His death, that perfect sacrifice, has paid the all-sufficient price; in him my hope is anchored. 5 My guilt, O Father, you have laid on Christ, your Son, my Savior. Lord Jesus, you my debt have paid and gained for me God's favor. O Holy Spirit, fount of grace, the good in me to you I trace; in faith and hope preserve me.

Sing Praise to God, Who Reigns Above

Author: Frances E. Cox; Johann J. Schütz Hymnal: The Worshipbook #568 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God who reigns above, The God of all creation, The God of power, the God of love, The God of our salvation; With healing balm our souls he fills, And every faithless murmur stills: To God all praise and glory. 2 What God's almighty power has made, In mercy he is keeping; By morning glow or evening shade His eye is never sleeping; Within the kingdom of his might, All things are just and good and right: To God all praise and glory. 3 Then all our gladsome way along, We sing aloud in praising, That men may hear the grateful song Our voices all are raising; Be joyful in the Lord, O heart, Both soul and body, bear your part: To God all praise and glory. 4 All you who name Christ's holy name Give God all praise and glory; All you who own his power, proclaim Aloud the wondrous story! Cast each false idol from his throne, The Lord is God, and he alone: To God all praise and glory. Amen.
