Come, Thou Fount of every blessing

Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7 Appears in 2,212 hymnals Topics: Advent, Third Sunday Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. 2 Here I raise my Ebenezer, Hither by Thy help I'm come; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home. 3 Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious Blood. 4 O, to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be! Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee. 5 Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here's my heart; O take and seal it, Seal it from Thy courts above.

Author: Anna Hoppe Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Advent, Third Sunday Lyrics: 1 "Repent, the kingdom draweth nigh," The herald of the Lord doth cry. Ye sinners lost through Adam’s fall, Will ye not hearken to the call? 2 Repent! The gracious call believe, Haste His forgiveness to receive. The Prince of Life, incarnate Word, Life and salvation can afford. 3 Divine Redeemer, glorious King! Repentant hearts to Thee we bring. Thy holy blood for us was spilt, Cleanse us from all the stains of guilt. 4 Drawn by Thy Spirit, through Thy Word, Thine invitation have we heard. In answer to Thy sweet request, We come to Thee, O Christ, for rest. 5 Thy pardon, full, complete, and free, Removes sin’s awful penalty. Our Father’s love is now restored; Thou hast redeemed us, dearest Lord. 6 Let us Thy Name forever bless, On earth Thy gospel truth confess, Till saved by grace, through faith in Thee, The gates of paradise we see. Amen. Used With Tune: BRESLAU

Fully through these absolved I am From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 3 This spotless robe the same appears, When ruined nature sinks in years; No age can change its constant hue; Thy blood preserves it ever new. 4 O let the dead now hear Thy voice; Now bid Thy banished ones rejoice! Their beauty this, their glorious dress, Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness! 5 When from the dust of death I rise, To claim my mansion in the skies, Then this shall be my only plea: "Jesus hath lived and died for me." Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 61:10 Used With Tune: MESSIAH

Thou Camest Down from Heaven on High

Uphold us in the evil hour, And from his might release us! His kingdom is a stronghold still, And legions hearken to his will. 4 But O, before Thy Word, dear Lord, The prince of darkness trembles! He quails before that two-edged Sword When Thine armed host assembles! O mighty Word, how great thy power! Thou art our refuge, shield, and tower. Amen.

Hail! my Portion, Lord, art Thou! Here too in my heart, I pray,-- O prepare Thyself a way. 5 And when Thou dost come again, As the glorious King to reign, I with joy may see Thy face, Freely ransomed by Thy grace.

Vær i Korset tro og stille

Author: Benj. Prætorius; Brorson Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday in Advent; Third Sunday in Advent Lyrics: 1 Vær i Korset tro og stille, Tænk, hvad Jesus for dig led, Lad dig ingen Jammer skille Fra hans store Kjærlighed! Tænk, hvor mangen Vei han gik, Før han dig tilbage fik! Da fra ham du vendte Hjertet, Om det ikke ham har smertet! 2 Vær dog tro i Troens Stride, Uforandret, uforsagt, (Fast paa Jesus kan du lide) At du fra den visse Pagt, Som du har i Daaben gjort, Aldrig, aldrig viger bort, Men arbeider alle Dage Til din Jesus at behage! 3 Vær dog tro i Kjærligheden Til din Gud af ganske Sjæl, Elsk din Næste og isteden For hans Brede und han vel! Tænk, hvor Jesus bad for dem, Som ham pinte hvert et Lem! Tænk, Gud vil din synd tilgive! Saadan maa du ogsaa blive. 4 Vær dog tro i Haab at vinde! Kon du ingen Udgang se, Gud kan snart et Middel finde Til at ende al din Ve. Haab kun stadig, Gud er her, Som dig har af Hjertet kjær, Haab, at Gud din Sag vil fremme, Haabet skal dig ei beskjæmme! 5 Vær dog tro i Dødsens Dale, Det er dog den sidste Strid, Det er dog saa kort en Dvale, Og saa stor en Seiers Tid! Hvo med Gud i Kampen gaar, Og med Jakob mandig staar, Han er evig Seier vinder, Og den Livsens Krone finder. 6 Vær dag tro til sidste Ende, Før til Seier hver en Kamp, Lad det bide, lad det brænde, Koste blodig Sved og Damp; Al vor Trængsel er dog her Ikke Herligheden værd, Som dig Jesus hisset giver, Naar du hans Medarving bliver. 7 I Guds Navn saa vil jeg lide, Elske, tro og haabe fast, Jesus hjælper mig at stride, Aldrig har han den forkast', Som i Korset stødig stod, Og paa ham sig fast forlod; Ham vil jeg mig overgive, Han skal al min Nød fordrive.

Our prison He demolished, Death’s power He abolished, And opened heaven’s gate. 3 O Jesus, grant us mercy, And grace on us bestow, To walk by Thine own guidance, Thy saving truth to know. For Thee our hearts are yearning, From worldly pleasures turning Unto Thy righteousness. 4 Into Thy hand the Father Gave all, that we might be In bonds of faith united, And dedicate to Thee, A people through Thy merit Entitled to inherit Thy realm eternally.
