The word, O God, Like Dew Restoreth
Author: E. Boye; C. B. Garve Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #146 (1927) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 First Line: Thy Word, O God, like dew, restoreth Lyrics: 1 Thy Word, O God, like dew, restoreth
My fainting soul to strength and peace,
And, as a balm, from heaven poureth
And gives my heart from pain surcease;
Oh, make this field of Jesus bear
The fruit of faith through Thy sweet care.
2 Thy Word, O God, like sword and arrow
Cuts through the sinful world's disguise
And piercing even bone and marrow,
Lays bare the heart before Thine eyes;
Let men before its power fall
And unto Thee for mercy call.
3 Thy Word is like the star of glory
That led the wise men on their way;
It tells the world the wondrous story
Of Him who is our Hope and Stay;
Let all behold this glorious star
And reach their home from lands afar.

If Thou But Trust in God to Guide Thee
Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #151 (1985) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 If thou but trust in God to guide thee
and hope in him through all thy ways,
he'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee,
and bear thee through the evil days;
who trusts in God's unchanging love
builds on the rock that nought can move.
2 Only be still, and wait his leisure
in cheerful hope, with heart content
to take whate'er thy Father's pleasure
and all-discerning love hath sent;
nor doubt our inmost wants are known
to him who chose us for his own.
3 Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving,
so do thine own part faithfully,
and trust his Word; though undeserving.
Thou yet shalt find it true for thee.
God never yet forsook at need
the soul that trusted him indeed.

Wise Men, They Came to Look for Wisdom
Author: Christopher Idle (1938-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #161 (1998) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Wise men, they came to look for wisdom,
finding one wiser than they knew;
rich men, they met with one yet richer --
King of the kings, they knelt to you:
Jesus, our wisdom from above,
wealth and redemption, life and love.
2 Pilgrims they were, from unknown countries,
searching for one who knows the world;
lost are their names and strange their journeys,
famed is their zeal to find the child:
Jesus, in you the lost are claimed,
aliens are found and known and named.
3 Magi, they stooped to see your splendour,
led by a star to light supreme;
promised Messiah, Lord eternal,
glory and peace are in your name.
Joy of each day, our song by night,
shine on our path your holy light.
4 Guests of their God, they opened treasures --
incense and gold and solemn myrrh;
welcoming one too young to question
how came these gifts, and what they were.
Gift beyond price of gold or gem,
make among us your Bethlehem. Topics: Epiphany (feast); Christmas Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Languages: English Tune Title: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT

By Sin Weighed Down, And Sorely Stricken

I stand before God's judgment throne.
O God, do Thou my spirit quicken,
For Thou canst help, and Thou alone.
Have mercy on my soul, I pray,
And wash Thou all my guilt away.

Thy humble child doth cry to Thee;
Wilt Thou to me sweet comfort render,
That I again may joyful be?
Have mercy on my soul, I pray,
And wash Thou all my guilt away.
3 My troubled soul is deeply ailing,
It cannot for itself atone;
But let Thy mercy be unfailing,
That I Thy healing grace may own.
Have mercy on my soul, I pray,
And wash Thou all my guilt away.
4 My soul Thy pardon strongly craveth;
Oh, speak the word I long to hear:
"I lend thee grace that truly saveth,
I pardon thee, I stay thy fear."
Have mercy on my soul, I pray,
And wash Thou all my guilt away.
5 I do not doubt my pray'r is granted.
The sense of comfort doth increase;
I have the grace for which I panted,
And so to raise this cry I cease:
Have mercy on my soul, I pray,
And wash Thou all my guilt away. Topics: Confession Languages: English Tune Title: [By sin weigh'd down, and sorely stricken]

Help us, O Lord! behold, we enter
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #171 (1918) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Help us, O Lord! behold we enter
Upon another year today;
In Thee our hopes and thoughts now center,
Renew our courage for the way:
New Life, new strength, new happiness
We ask of Thee, O hear and bless!
2 May every plan and undertaking
This year be all begun with Thee;
When I am sleeping or am waking.
Still let me know Thou art with me;
Abroad do Thou my footsteps guide.
At home be ever at my side.
3 Be this a time of grace and pardon;
Thy rod I take with willing mind,
But suffer naught my heart to harden;
O let me now Thy mercy find;
In Thee alone, my God, I live,
Thou only canst my sins forgive.
4 And may this year to me be holy;
Thy grace so fill my every thought
That all my life be pure and lowly
And truthful as a Christian’s ought;
So make me, while yet dwelling here,
Pious and blest from year to year.
5 And grant, Lord, when the year is over,
That it for me in peace may close;
In all things care for me, and cover
My head in time of fear and woes;
So may I, when my years are gone,
Appear with joy before Thy throne. Topics: New Year Languages: English
Help us, O Lord! behold, we enter
Baptized into Thy name most holy
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #177 (1893) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 BAPTISED into Thy name most holy,
O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
I claim a place, though weak and lowly,
Among Thy seed, Thy chosen host;
Buried with Christ, and dead to sin,
Thy Spirit now shall live within.
2 My loving Father, Thou dost take me
To be henceforth Thy child and heir;
My faithful Saviour, Thou dost make me
The fruit of all Thy sorrows share,
Thou, Holy Ghost, wilt comfort me,
When darkest clouds around I see.
3 And I have vowed to fear and love Thee,
And to obey Thee, Lord, alone;
I felt Thy Holy Spirit move me,
And freely pledged myself Thine own,
Renouncing sin to keep the faith,
And war with evil unto death.
4 My faithful God, Thou failest never,
Thy covenant surely will abide;
O cast me not away forever,
Should I transgress it on my side;
If I have sore my soul defiled,
Yet still forgive, restore Thy child.
5 Yea, all I am, and love most dearly,--
to Thee I offer new the whole;
O let me make my vows sincerely,
Take full possession of my soul,
Let naught within me, naught I own,
Serve any will but Thine alone.
6 Depart, depart! Thou Prince of darkness!
No more by thee I'll be enticed.
Mine is indeed a tarnished conscience,
But sprinkled with the blood of Christ.
Away, vain world! O sin, away!
Lo! I renounce you all this day.
7 And never let my purpose falter,
O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
But keep me faithful to Thine altar,
Till Thou shalt call me from my post;
So unto Thee I live and die,
And praise Thee evermore on high. Topics: Catechism Baptism Languages: English

O Would, My God, That I Could Praise Thee
Author: Johann Mentzer; Miss Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #178 (1926) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O would, my God, that I could praise Thee
With thousand tongues by day and night!
How many a song my lips should raise Thee,
Who order'st all things here aright!
My thankful heart would ever be
Telling what God hath done for me.
2 O all ye powers that He implanted,
Arise, keep silence thus no more;
Put forth the strength that He hath granted,
Your noblest work is to adore;
O soul and body, make ye meet
With heartfelt praise your Lord to greet.
3 O Father, deign Thou, I beseech Thee,
To listen to my earthly lays;
A nobler strain in heaven shall reach Thee,
When I with angels hymn Thy praise,
And learn amid their choirs to sing
Loud hallelujahs to my King.
Amen. Topics: Church Year Trinity Season; Trinity, Twelfth Sunday; Spiritual Dumbness; Praise Languages: English Tune Title: WER WEISS, WIE NAHE MIR MEIN ENDE
