O Enter, Lord, Thy Temple

Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O enter, Lord, Thy temple, Be Thou my spirit's Guest, Who at my birth didst give me A second birth more blest. Though here to dwell Thou deignest, Thou in the Godhead, Lord, Forever equal reignest, Art equally adored. 2 O enter, let me know Thee, And feel Thy power within, The power that breaks our fetters, And rescues us from sin. That I may serve Thee truly, O wash and cleanse Thou me, And render honor duly With perfect heart to Thee. 3 'Tis Thou, O Spirit, teachest The soul to pray aright; Thy songs are sweetest music, Thy prayers have wondrous might. They pierce the highest heaven, Unheard they cannot fall, Till He His help hath given Who surely helpeth all. 4 The whole wide world, O Spirit, Upon Thy hands doth rest; Our wayward hearts Thou turnest As to Thee seemest best. As Thou hast done so often, Once more Thy power make known, Convert the wicked, soften To tears the heart of stone. 5 Our path in all things order According to Thy mind; And when this life is over, And all must be resigned, With calm and fearless spirit O grant us then to die, And after death inherit Eternal life on high.

Over Kedron Jesus Treadeth

Author: Thomas Kingo; J. Jeffery Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Over Kedron Jesus treadeth To His passion for us all; Ev'ry human eye be weeping, Tears of bitter grief let fall! Round His spirit flock the foes, Place their shafts and bend their bows, Aiming at the Saviour solely, While the world forsakes Him wholly. 2 See Him anguish-stricken falling Prostrate, and with struggling breath, Three times on His Father calling, Praying that the bitter death And the cup of doom may go: Still He cries, in all His woe: "Not My will, but Thine, O Father," And the angels round Him gather. 3 See how, in that hour of darkness, Battling with the evil power, Agonies untold assail Him, On His soul the arrows shower; All the garden flowers are wet With the drops of bloody sweat From His anguished frame distilling-- Our redemption thus fulfilling.

May he Jesus' mandate keep, "Feed My lambs," and "Feed My sheep!" By Thee to Thy people sent With Thy Word and Sacrament, May he so proclaim the Word That who hear him hear Thee, Lord. 3 In Thy vineyard called to toll, Wisely may he search the soil; Sinners may he love and win, While he hates and brands the sin. Give him boldness for the right, Give him meekness in the fight, Teach him zeal and care to blend, Give him patience to the end. 4 Grant him in his charge to find Listening ear and fervent mind, Helpful counsels, deepening peace, Earnest life, and glad increase; May they, by each other led, Grow to one in Christ, their Head, And at last together be Ripe for heaven and meet for Thee.

O Precious Thought! Some Day the Mist Shall Vanish

Author: Carl Olof Rosenius, (1816-1868) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O precious thought! Some day the mist shall vanish; Some day the web of gloom shall be unspun. A day shall break whose beams the night shall banish, For Christ, the Lamb, shall shine, the glorious Sun! 2 O precious thought! No more will faith be anguished By doubt's uncertainties, by trembling fears. The pangs that wound the heart shall all be vanquished, And light shall flood the gloom of bygone years. 3 Some day each mystery shall find solution, Each troublous question an undimmed reply. The hidden deeps that now seem all confusion My God will open up and clarify. 4 O precious thought! With vision all unclouded, The One whom I believed shall I behold. Now from my sight His hallowed form is shrouded, Then He shall fill my soul with bliss untold. 5 Some day I'll see my ever-faithful Saviour, Who pardoned all my sin in boundless grace. Here clouds of trial oft obscure His favor, There I'll behold the brightness of His face. 6 O precious thought! All sinless, pure, and holy, By flesh and Satan nevermore oppressed. My thoughts and deeds shall glorify Him solely, Who brought my soul unto His perfect rest. 7 The saints of God, all clad in spotless raiment, Before the Lamb shall wave victorious palms. For bliss eternal Christ has rendered payment, Earth's tearful strains give way to joyous psalms. 8 I pray Thee, O my precious Saviour, waken These hallowed thoughts of Paradise in me, And let them solace me, till I am taken To dwell in Salem evermore with Thee. Amen. Topics: Hope and Aspiration; Names and Office of Christ Light; Names and Office of Christ Sun Used With Tune: O SÄLLA LAND

O Thou in Whom Thy Saints Repose

When fearless to my Father's love and pow'r, Whose promise standeth fast, My soul I gladly render, For surely will His hand Lead me with guidance tender, To heav'n, my fatherland. 3 O Zion, hail! bright city, now unfold The gates of grace to me How many a time I longed for thee of old, Ere yet I was set free From yon dark life of sadness, Yon world of shadowy naught, And God had given the gladness, The heritage I sought. 4 Innumbered choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise, Till heavenly halls re-echo with the tone Of that great hymn of praise, And all its host rejoices, And all its blessèd throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song.
