The Gospel shows the Father's grace
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #183 (1880) 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

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #215 (1880) 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

To Jordan came our Lord, the Christ
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #220 (1880) 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.
