Der Herr ist in den Höhen

Author: J. A. Cramer Appears in 1 hymnal Used With Tune: [Der Herr ist in den Höhen]

Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let hope and sorrow now unite to consecrate life's ending. And praise good friends now gone from sight, though grief and loss are rending. The story in a well-loved face, the years and days our thoughts retrace, are treasures worth repeating. 2 With faith, or doubt, or open mind we whisper life's great question. The ebb and flow of space and time surpass our small perception; yet knowledge grows with joyful gains and finds out wonders far more strange than hopes of resurrection.

Had God not come,may Israel say

Author: Dr. Martin Luther; Richard Massie Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Had God not come, may Israel say, Had God not come to aid us, Our enemies on that sad day Would surely have dismayed us; A remnant now, and handful small, Held in contempt and scorn by all, Who cruelly oppress us. 2 Their furious wrath, did God permit, Would quickly have consumed us, And in the deep and yawning pit With life and limb entombed us; Like men o'er whom dark waters roll, The streams had gone e'en o'er our soul, And mightily o'erwhelmed us. 3 Thanks be to God, who from the pit Snatched us, when it was gaping: Our souls, like birds that break the net, To the blue sky escaping; The snare is broken—we are free! The Lord our Helper praised be, The God of earth and heaven. Topics: The Church Year Reformation Used With Tune: DECIUS (Allein Gott in der Hoch sei Ehr)

To Thee we come and humbly bow, Great Lord of the Creation! Whose boundless Empire ne'er will know Or End or Variation. Thy Pow'r is endless as thy Praise: Thou speak'st; the Universe obeys. On Thee depend all Creatures. III. Blest Jesus, only Son of God On Earth of Tragic Story; Our Ransom is thy precious Blood; Thy shameful Cross our Glory. Sweet suff'ring Lamb, now King of Kings, And Lord of all created Things, Extend to us thy Mercy. IV. O Holy Ghost! our Sov'reign Good, And highest Consolation! What Jesus ransom'd with his Blood, Preserve Thou to Salvation 'Tis Thou who bringst' us unto Christ; 'Tis Thou his precious Blood appliest. In Thee we have Affiance.
