Lord, to Thee I make confession

Author: J. Franck Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #497 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, to Thee I make confession, I have sinned and gone astray, I have multiplied transgression, Chosen for myself my way: Forced at last to see my errors, Lord, I tremble at Thy terrors. 2 But from Thee how can I hide me, Thou, O God, art everywhere; Refuge from Thee is denied me, Or by land or sea or air; Nor death's darkness can enfold me, So that thou shouldst not behold me. 3 Yet, though conscience' voice appall me, Father, I will seek Thy face; Though Thy child I scarce dare call me, Yet restore me to Thy grace; Do not for my sins forsake me; Do not let Thy wrath o'ertake me; 4 For Thy Son hath suffered for me, And the blood He shed for sin, That can heal me and restore me, Quench this burning fire within; 'Tis alone His cross can vanquish These dark fears and soothe this anguish. 5 Then on Him I cast my burden, Sink it in the depths below! Let me know Thy gracious pardon, Wash me, make me white as snow. Let Thy Spirit leave me never, Make me only thine forever!

In My Quiet Contemplation

Author: Johan Olof Wallin Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #498 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 In my quiet contemplation I look up to Thee, O Lord. Guided by Thy revelation, Lighted by Thy living Word, Touched by Thy great love and passion, I draw near to Thy salvation. 2 In the quiet path of duty I my earthly span may fill, Pressing onward in the beauty Of performing but Thy will, Well content with all Thou sendest, If Thy grace to me Thou lendest. 3 Let me live in peace and stillness, Giving to no soul offense; Pain or pleasure, helth or illness Take I from Thy providence, Never wounding, ever healing, Thus a Christly life revealing. 4 Here my cross with patience bearing, I will go where Jesus leads, All enduring, all forbearing, For His sake who knows my needs. O how swift the fours of trail, Spent in Christian self-denial! 5 Keep me quietly expecting Thine appearance, Saviour dear; In my life, Thy life reflecting, Let Thy sacred love appear, Till on earth my last day closes, And my soul in Thee reposes. 6 Gracious Saviour, deign to number Me with saints in glory there, Calm and peaceful then my slumber After my last evening prayer; When from dust my spirit rises, All my tears shall change to praises. 7 Let my body then be hidden In a humble, nameless tomb; When at last I shall be bidden To forsake that narrow room, Jesus knows where they are sleeping Who were given in His keeping. Amen. Topics: Christian Conduct and Service; Epiphany, Fourth Sunday; Trinty, Fourth Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: STILLA JAG PÅ DIG VILL AKTA

Count Well the Cost

Author: Alexander Mack Sr.; Ora W. Graber Hymnal: Voices Together #577 (2020) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 First Line: “Count well the cost,” Christ Jesus says Lyrics: 1 “Count well the cost,” Christ Jesus says, “when you lay the foundation.” Are you resolved, though all seem lost, to risk your reputation, your self, your wealth, for Christ the Lord, as you now give your solemn word? 2 Into Christ’s death be buried now through baptism’s joyous union. No selfish claim should you allow if you desire communion when Christ’s redeemed together meet, the bread of fellowship to eat. 3 Within the church’s warm embrace the child of God is molded. God’s Spirit lights the infant face, and in God’s grace is folded. With childlike steps, Christ’s plan we trace, till we grow up in godly grace. 4 In Christian growth we are matured, of fruitful vines a token. That this good growth may be assured ofttimes to us is broken the bread of fellowship replete when Christ’s redeemed together meet.

From Afar, Across The Waters

Author: A. F. Rohr Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #634 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 From afar, across the waters, Where Atlantic's billows roar, Lashed by hurricanes to fury On the sands of Afric's shore, Sweeps the cry of Macedonia: Come and help us, come and help us. 2 From across the wide Pacific, From the heart of Asia vast-- Asia, cradle of the nations, Like a stirring bugle blast Bursts the cry of Macedonia: Come and help us, come and help us. 3 From the lands on India's ocean, Breeders of the hot simoon, Mothering their dying millions, Tolling like the bells of doom, Rolls the cry of Macedonia: Come and help us, come and help us. 4 From the sea-engirdled islands On the east and on the west, With the bread of life unnourished, By the truth of God unblest, Breaks the cry of Macedonia: Come and help us, come and help us. 5 From the realms which rest ashiver Far along the polar deeps, Where the frightful, frozen horror Watch in awful silence keeps, Falls the cry of Macedonia: Come and help us, come and help us. 6 Northward, southward, eastward, westward, Mournful as a funeral wail, Shouting, shrieking, sobbing, sighing, On the breeze and on the gale, Rides the cry of Macedonia: Come and help us, come and help us.

Once in royal David's city

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #639 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her Baby In a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all, And his shelter was a stable, And his cradle was a stall: With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 And, through all his wondrous childhood He would honor and obey, Love and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms he lay: Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as he. 4 And our eyes at last shall see him, Through his own redeeming love; For that Child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heav'n above, And he leads his children on To the place where he is gone. 5 Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall see him, but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high; When like stars his children crowned All in white shall wait around.

"Come, Follow Me," the Savior Spake

Author: Johann Scheffler, 1624-77; Charles W. Schaeffer, 1813-96 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #688 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 "Come, follow Me," the Savior spake, "All in My way abiding; Deny yourselves, the world forsake, Obey My call and guiding. O bear the cross, whate'er betide, Take my example for your guide. 2 "I am the Light, I light the way, A godly life displaying; I bid you walk as in the day; I keep your feet from straying. I am the way, and well I show How you must sojourn here below. 3 "My heart abounds in lowliness, My soul with love is glowing; And gracious words My lips express, With meekness overflowing. My heart, My mind, My strength, My all, To God I yield, on Him I call. 4 "I teach you how to shun and flee What harms your soul's salvation, Your heart from ev'ry guile to free, From sin and its temptation. I am the refuge of the soul And lead you to your heav'nly goal." 5 Then let us follow Christ, our Lord, And take the cross appointed And, firmly clinging to His Word, In suff'ring be undaunted. For those who bear the battle's strain The crown of heav'nly life obtain. Topics: Mission and Witness Scripture: 1 Peter 2:21-25 Languages: English Tune Title: MACHS MIT MIR, GOTT
