'Twas by an order from the Lord
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #178 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Catechism The Word Lyrics: 1 'Twas by an order from the Lord,
The ancient prophets spoke His word;
His Spirit did their tongues inspire,
And warmed their hearts with heavenly fire.
2 The works and wonders which they wrought
Confirmed the messages they brought:
The prophet's pen succeeds His breath,
To save the holy words from death.
3 Great God! mine eyes with pleasure look
Upon thy precious holy book;
There my Redeemer's face I see,
And read His name who died for me.
4 Let the false raptures of the mind
Be lost, and vanish in the wind;
Here I can fix my hope secure;
This is Thy word, and must endure.

The Gospel shows the Father's grace
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #183 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Catechism The Word Lyrics: 1 The Gospel shows the Father's grace,
Who sent His Son to save our race:
Proclaims how Jesus lived and died
That we might thus be justified.
2 It sets the Lamb before our eyes,
Who made th' atoning sacrifice,
And calls the souls with guilt oppressed
To come and find eternal rest.
3 It brings the Savior's righteousness
Our souls to robe in royal dress;
From all our guilt it brings release,
And gives the troubled conscience peace.
4 It is the power of God to save
From sin and Satan and the grave;
It works the faith, which firmly clings
To all the treasures which it brings.
5 It bears to all the tidings glad
And bids their hearts no more be sad:
The heavy laden soul it cheers
And banishes their guilty fears.
6 May we in faith its tidings learn
Nor thanklessly its blessings spurn;
May we in faith its truth confess
And praise the Lord our righteousness. Languages: English

Wake, Spirit, who in times now olden
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #190 (1880) Topics: The Catechism The Church Lyrics: 1 Wake, Spirit, who in times now olden
Didst fire the watchmen of the Church's youth,
And them 'gainst ev'ry foe embolden,
To witness day and night th'eternal truth,
Whose voices through the world are ringing still,
And bringing hosts to know and do Thy will:
2 Soon may that fire from heaven be lent us,
That swift from land to land its flame may leap!
Soon, Lord, that priceless boon be sent us
Of faithful servants, fit for Thee to reap
The harvest of the soul,--look down and view
How great the harvest, but the laborers few.
3 Lord, to our earnest prayer now hearken,
The prayer we offer at Thy Son's command;
For, lo! while storms around us darken,
Thy children's hearts are stirr'd in every land,
To cry for help, with fervent soul, to Thee;
O hear us, Lord, and speak: "Thus let it be!"
4 O speedily that help be granted!
Send forth evangelists, in spirit strong,
Armed with Thy Word, a host undaunted,
Bold to attack the rule of ancient wrong,
And let them all the earth for Thee reclaim,
To be Thy kingdom and to know Thy name!
5 Grant that for which Thy people calleth!
Send down Thy promised Spirit, Lord, in might,
Before whom every barrier falleth,
And let it thus at evening-time be light;
O! rend the heavens, and make Thy presence felt,
The chains that bind us at Thy touch would melt.
6 Let Zion's paths lie waste no longer,
Remove the hindrances that there have lain,
And let Thy Word go forth to conquer;
Destroy false doctrine, root out notions vain,
Set free from hirelings, let the Church and school
Bloom as a garden 'neath Thy prospering rule.

And heaven and earth through all eternity
