By cool Siloan's shady rill
Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #355 (1908) Topics: The Catechism The Christian Household Lyrics: 1 By cool Siloam’s shady rill,
How fair the lily grows;
How sweet the breath beneath the hill
Of Sharon’s dewy rose:
2 And such the child whose early feet
The paths of peace have trod,
Whose secret heart, with influence sweet,
Is upward drawn to God.
3 By cool Siloam’s shady rill
The lily must decay;
The rose that blooms beneath the hill
Must shortly fade away;
4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour
Of man’s maturer age
May shake the soul with sorrow’s power
And stormy passion’s rage.
5 O Thou, whose infancy was found
With heavenly rays to shine,
Whose years, with changeless virtue crowned,
Were all alike divine,--
6 Dependent on Thy bounteous breath,
We seek Thy grace alone,
In childhood, manhood, and in death,
To keep us still Thine own. Languages: English Tune Title: SILOAM

The Church's one foundation
Author: Rev. S. J. Stone Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #491 (1908) Topics: The Catechism The Church Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation
By water and the Word;
From heav'n He came and sought her
To be his holy Bride;
With His own blood He bought her,
And for her life He died.
2 Elect from every nation,
Yet one o'er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation:
One Lord, one faith, one Birth;
One holy Name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.
3 'Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore:
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the church at rest.
4 Yet she on earth has union
With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
Like them, the meek and lowly,
On high may dwell with Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA
The Church's one foundation
All hail the pow'r of Jesus' Name!
Author: Rev. Edward Perronet Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #500 (1908) Topics: The Catechism The Redeemer Lyrics: 1 All hail the pow'r of Jesus' Name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown him Lord of all.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all!
2 Hail Him, ye heirs of David's line,
Whom David Lord did call;
The God incarnate, Man divine:
And crown Him Lord of all.
3 Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe
And crown Him Lord of all.
4 O that with yonder sacred throng,
We at His feet may fall;
We'll join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all.

All hail the pow'r of Jesus' Name!
Go forth, ye heralds, in My name
Author: James Maxwell Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #505 (1908) Topics: The Catechism The Ministry Lyrics: 1 Go forth, ye heralds, in My name,
Sweetly the Gospel trumpet sound;
The glorious jubilee proclaim,
Where'er the human race is found.
2 The joyful news to all impart,
And teach them where salvation lies;
With care bind up the broken heart,
And wipe the tears from weeping eyes.
3 Be wise as serpents where you go,
But harmless as the peaceful dove;
And let your heaven-taught conduct show
Ye are commissioned from above.
4 Freely from me ye have received,
Freely, in love, to others give:
Thus shall your doctrines be believed,
And, by your labors, sinners live.
Languages: English
Go forth, ye heralds, in My name
The Gospel shows the Father's grace
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a183 (1895) 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
The Gospel shows the Father's grace
The precepts of the Word are pure
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a186 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Catechism The Word Lyrics: 1 The precepts of the Word are pure,
Its promises and hopes endure;
That statutes of the Lord are right,
In keeping them is great delight.
2 The teachings of God's Word impart
His gracious counsels to the heart,
And higher principles instil,
And mould anew the heart and will.
3 Lord, Thy commands be our delight,
Thy Gospel be our saving might;
And by thy truth on us impress
The image of Thy holiness.
4 Then will our life, in turn, conform
Unto Thy Word, as guide and norm:
And by our walk it shall appear,
That our profession is sincere.
5 Grace grace for grace to us anew,
To practice still what we hold true;
And grant that what we hold, dear Lord,
Be the pure doctrines of Thy Word.

Christ, Thou the Champion of the band who own
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a198 (1895) Topics: The Catechism The Church Lyrics: 1 Christ, Thou the Champion of the band who own
Thy cross, O make Thy succor quickly known:
The schemes of those who long our blood have
sought
Bring Thou to naught.
2 Do Thou Thyself for us, Thy children, fight,
Withstand the devil, quell his rage and might,
Whate'er assails Thy members left below
Do Thou o'rthrow.
3 And give us peace; peace in the Church and school,
Peace to the powers who o'er our country rule,
Peace to the conscience, peace within the heart,
Do Thou impart.
4 So shall Thy goodness here be still adored,
Thou Guardian of Thy little flock, dear Lord,
And heaven and earth through all eternity
Shall worship Thee. Languages: English

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a215 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Catechism Prayer Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
Uttered or unexpressed,
The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.
2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear,
The upward glancing of an eye,
When none but God is near.
3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech
That infant lips can try;
Prayer the sublimest strains that reach
The Majesty on high.
4 Prayer is the Christians' vital breath,
The Christians' native air;
His watch-word at the gate of death--
He enters heaven with prayer.
5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice
Returning from his ways,
While angels in their songs rejoice,
And say, "Behold, he prays." Languages: English
Prayer is the soul's sincere desire
To Jordan came our Lord, the Christ
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a220 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Holy Baptism Lyrics: 1 To Jordan came our Lord, the Christ,
To do God’s pleasure willing,
And there was by St. John baptized,
All righteousness fulfilling;
There did He consecrate a bath
To wash away transgression,
And quench the bitterness of death
By His own blood and passion;
He would a new life give us.
2 So hear ye all and well perceive
What God doth call Baptism,
And what a Christian should believe
Who error shuns and schism:
That we should water use, the Lord
Declareth it His pleasure;
Not simple water, but the Word
And Spirit without measure;
He is the real Baptizer.
3 To show us this He hath His Word
With signs and symbols given;
On Jordan’s banks was plainly heard
The Father’s voice from heaven:
"This is My well-beloved Son,
In whom My soul delighteth;
Hear Him." Yea, hear Him, every one
When He Himself inviteth,
Hear and obey His teaching.
4 In tender manhood God the Son
In Jordan's water standeth;
The Holy Ghost from His own throne
In dove-like form descendeth;
That thus the truth be not denied,--
Nor should our faith e’er waver,--
That the Three Persons e'er preside,
At Baptism’s holy laver,
And dwell with the believer.
5 Thus Jesus His disciples sent:
Go teach ye every nation,
That lost in sin they must repent;
And flee from condemnation:
He that believes and is baptized
Shall thereby have salvation;
A new-born man he is in Christ,
Is safe from condemnation,
And shall inherit heaven.
6 Who in this mercy hath not faith,
Nor aught therein discerneth,
Is yet in sin, condemned to death,
And fire that ever burneth;
His holiness avails him not,
Nor aught which he is doing;
His birth-sin brings all to naught,
And maketh sure his ruin;
Himself he cannot succor.
7 Blind sense but water sees, and spurns:
"Pray, how can water save us?"
Faith marks the Word, and well discerns
Christ's merits that here lave us;
Faith sees this cleansing fountain red
With, both from sin inherited
From fallen Adam frees us,
And sins we have committed.

To Jordan came our Lord, the Christ
Out of the depths I cry to Thee
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a233 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Repentance Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths I cry to Thee,
Lord, mark my lamentation;
O bow Thine ear in grace to me,
And hear my supplication:
If Thou shouldst pass in close review
My sins and all the ill I do,
Lord, who can stand before Thee!
2 Works never can God's pardon gain,
Here grace alone availeth;
Our choicest works all have a stain,
The best among us faileth;
Before Thee none can boasting stand,
But all must fear thy strict demand,
And live alone by mercy.
3 My hope I rest then on the Lord,
And build not on my merit;
My soul shall trust His gracious Word,
'Tis this upholds my spirit:
His promised mercy is my stay,
My joy and comfort day by day:
This is my firm reliance.
4 What though it tarry all the night
And till the dawn appeareth,
My heart still trusteth in His might,
It doubteth not, nor feareth:
So let the Israelite indeed,
Born of the Spirit, hope in need—
And wait, till God appeareth.
5 Although our sin be very great,
God's mercies far exceed it;
His hand can help, though sore the strait,
And great the grace that's needed:
He is the Shepherd of the sheep,
Who Israel doth guard and keep,
And save from sin and evil. Languages: English
Out of the depths I cry to Thee
