Nearer, My God, to Thee

Author: Sarah F. Adams Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 2,499 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. E’en though it be a cross That raiseth me, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 2 Tho' like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone, Yet in my dreams I’d be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 3 There let the way appear Steps unto heav’n; All that Thou sendest me In mercy giv'n; Angels to beckon me nearer Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 4 Then with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I’ll raise, So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 5 Or if on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upward I fly, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Amen. Topics: Cross and Comfort Scripture: Genesis 28:10-19 Used With Tune: BETHANY

Let Us Ever Walk with Jesus

Author: Sigismund von Birken; J. Adam Rimbach Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7.8.7.7 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let us ever walk with Jesus, Follow His example pure, Flee the world, which would deceive us And to sin our souls allure. Ever in His footsteps treading, Body here, yet soul above, Full of faith and hope and love, Let us do the Father's bidding. Faithful Lord, abide with me; Savior, lead, I follow Thee. 2 Let us suffer here with Jesus, To His image e'er conform; Heaven's glory soon will please us, Sunshine follow on the storm. Tho' we sow in tears of sorrow, We shall reap with heav'nly joy; And the fears that now annoy Shall be laughter on the morrow. Christ, I suffer here with Thee; There, oh, share Thy joy with me! 3 Let us also die with Jesus. His death from the second death, From our soul's destruction, frees us, Quickens us with life's glad breath. Let us mortify, while living, Flesh and blood and die to sin; And the grave that shuts us in Shall but prove the gate to heaven. Jesus, here I die to Thee There to live eternally. 4 Let us gladly live with Jesus; Since He's risen from the dead, Death and grave must soon release us. Jesus, Thou art now our Head, We are truly Thine own members; Where Thou livest, there live we. Take and own us constantly, Faithful Friend, as Thy dear brethren. Jesus, here I live to Thee, Also there eternally. Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) New Obedience Scripture: John 11:16 Used With Tune: LASSET UNS MIT JESU ZICHEN

Whate'er the rod, Thou art my God; Naught can resist Thy pleasure. 5 The world for me has falsely set Full many a secret snare and net To tempt me and to harm me. Lord, make them fail, Do Thou prevail, Let their disguise not charm me. 6 With Thee, Lord, have I cast my lot; O faithful God, forsake me not, To Thee my soul commending. Lord, be my Stay, Lead Thou the way Now and when life is ending. 7 All honor, praise, and majesty To Father, Son, and Spirit be, Our God forever glorious, In whose rich grace We'll run our race Till we depart victorious.

Earth has no pleasure I would share, Yea, heav'n itself were void and bare If Thou, Lord, wert not near me. And should my heart for sorrow break, My trust in Thee no one could shake. Thou art the Portion I have sought; Thy precious blood my soul has bought. Lord Jesus Christ, My God and Lord, my God and Lord, Forsake me not! I trust Thy Word. 2 Yea, Lord, 'twas Thy rich bounty gave My body, soul, and all I have In this poor life of labor. Lord, grant that I in ev'ry place May glorify Thy lavish grace And serve and help my neighbor. Let no false doctrine me beguile, And Satan not my soul defile. Give strength and patience unto me To bear my cross and follow Thee. Lord Jesus Christ, My God and Lord, my God and Lord, In death Thy comfort still afford. 3 Lord, let at last Thine angels come, To Abram's bosom bear me home, That I may die unfearing; And in its narrow chamber keep My body safe in peaceful sleep Until Thy reappearing. And then from death awaken me That these mine eyes with joy may see, O Son of God, Thy glorious face, My Savior and my Fount of grace. Lord Jesus Christ, My prayer attend, my prayer attend, And I will praise Thee without end. Amen.

Lord God, We All to Thee Give Praise

Author: Philipp Melanchthon; Paul Eber; Emanuel Cronenwett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord God, we all to Thee give praise, Thanksgivings meet to Thee we raise, That angel hosts Thou didst create Around Thy glorious throne to wait. 2 They shine with light and heav’nly grace And constantly behold Thy face; They heed Thy voice, they know it well, In godly wisdom they excel. 3 They never rest nor sleep as we; Their whole delight is but to be With Thee, Lord Jesus, and to keep Thy little flock, Thy lambs and sheep. 4 The ancient Dragon is their foe; His envy and his wrath they know. It always is his aim and pride Thy Christian people to divide. 5 As he of old deceived the world And into sin and death was hurled, So now he subtly lies in wait To ruin school and Church and State. 6 A roaring lion, round he goes, No halt nor rest he ever knows; He seeks the Christians to devour And slay them by his dreadful power. 7 But watchful is the angel band That follows Christ on every hand To guard His people where they go And break the counsel of the Foe. 8 For this, now and in days to be, Our praise shall rise, O Lord, to Thee, Whom all the angel hosts adore With grateful songs forevermore. Amen. Topics: The Church Year St. Michael and All Angels Scripture: Hebrews 1:14 Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH

Lord, It Belongs Not to My Care

Author: Richard Baxter Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 258 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care Whether I die or live; To love and serve Thee is my share, And this Thy grace must give. 2 If life be long, I will be glad That I may long obey; If short, yet why should I be sad To end his toilsome day. 3 Christ leads me thro' no darker rooms Than He went thro' before; He that into God's kingdom comes Must enter by this door. 4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet, What will Thy glory be? 5 Then I shall end my sad complaints And weary sinful days And join with the triumphant saints Who sing my Savior's praise. 6 My knowledge of that life is small, The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with Him.
