All mortal Vanites, be gone

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XXV (1766) Topics: Grace all sufficient in Duty and Sufferings Lyrics: 1 All mortal Vanities be gone, Nor tempt my Eyes, nor tire my Ears; Behold, amidst th' eternal Throne A Vision of the Lamb appears. [2 Glory his fleecy Robe adorns, Mark'd with the bloody Death he bore; Seven are his Eyes, and sev'n his Horns, To speak his Wisdom and his Pow'r. 3 Lo, he receives a sealed Book From him that sits upon the Throne; Jesus, my Lord, prevails to look On dark Decrees and Things unknown.] 4 All the assembling Saints around Fall worshipping before the Lamb, And in new Songs of Gospel-Sound Address their Honours to his Name. [5 The Joy, the Shout, the Harmony Flies o'er the Everlasting Hills; Worthy art Thou alone, (they cry) To read the Book, to loose the Seals.] 6 Our Voices join the heav'nly Strain, And with transporting Pleasure sing, Worthy the Lamb that once was slain, To be our Teacher and our King. 7 His Words of Prophecy reveal Eternal Counsels, deep Designs; His Grace and Vengeance shall fulfil The peaceful and the dreadful Lines. 8 Thou hast redeem'd our Souls from Hell, With thine invaluable Blood; And Wretches that did once rebel, Are now made Fav'rites of their God. 9 Worthy for ever is the Lord, That dy'd for Treasons not his own, By ev'ry Tongue to be ador'd, And dwell upon his Father's Throne. Scripture: Revelation 5:6-9 Languages: English

Whence do our mournful Thoughts arise?

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XXXII (1766) Topics: Grace all sufficient in Duty and Sufferings Lyrics: 1 Whence do our mournful Thoughts arise? And where our Courage fled? Has restless Sin and raging Hell Struck all our Comforts dead? 2 Have we forgot th' Almighty Name That form'd the Earth and Sea? And can an all-creating Arm Grow weary or decay? 3 Treasures of everlasting Might In our Jehovah dwell; He gives the Conquest to the Weak, And treads their Foes to Hell. 4 Mere mortal Pow'r shall fade and die, And youthful Vigour cease, But we that wait upon the Lord, Shall feel our Strength increase. 5 The Saints shall mount on Eagles Wings, And taste the promis'd Bliss, 'Till their unwearied Feet arrive Where perfect Pleasure is. Scripture: Isaiah 40:27-30 Languages: English

Life is the Time to serve the Lord

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LXXXVIII (1766) Topics: Day of Grace and Time of Duty Lyrics: 1 Life is the Time to serve the Lord, The Time t' insure the great Reward; And while the Lamp holds out to burn, The vilest Sinner may return. [2 Life is the Hour that God has giv'n To 'scape from Hell, and fly to Heav'n; The Day of Grace, and Mortals may Secure the Blessings of the Day.] 3 The Living know that they must die, But all the Dead forgotten lie; Their Mem'ry and their Sense is gone, Alike unknowing and unknown. [4 Their Hatred and their Love is lost, Their Envy buried in the Dust; They have no Share in all that's done Beneath the Circuit of the Sun.] 5 Then what my Thoughts design to do, My Hands with all your Might pursue, Since no Device, nor Work is found, Nor Faith, nor Hope, beneath the Ground. 6 There are no Acts of Pardon past In the cold Grave, to which we haste; But Darkness, Death, and long Despair, Reign in eternal Silence there. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 9:4-6 Languages: English

Not the Malicious or Profane

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CIV (1766) Topics: Grace all sufficient in Duty and Sufferings Lyrics: 1 Not the Malicious or Profane, The Wanton or the Proud, Nor Thieves, nor Sland'rers shall obtain The Kingdom of our God. 2 Surprising Grace! And such were we By Nature and by Sin, Heirs of immortal Misery, Unholy and unclean. 3 But we are wash'd in Jesus' Blood, We're pardon'd through his Name; And the good Spirit of our God Has sanctify'd our Frame. 4 O for a persevering Pow'r To keep thy just Commands! We would defile our Hearts no more, No more pollute our Hands. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:10-11 Languages: English

To thee, O GOD, we render Praise

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXXV (1767) Topics: Description of Duty of the Ministers of God's Word Lyrics: 1 To thee, O GOD, we render Praise, To thee with daily Thanks repair; For that thy Name to us is nigh, Thy great and wond'rous Works declare. For thou, O LORD, art still the same, And very glorious is thy Name. 2 In Israel when my Throne is fix'd, With me shall Truth and Justice reign; The Land with Discord shakes, but I The falling Pillars will sustain. To Fools, I said, your Wrongs redress, To wicked Men, your Pride suppress. 3 For that Promotion which to gain, Your vain Ambition daily strives; From neither East, nor West, nor North, Nor yet from Southern Climes arrives. For GOD will cast the Haughty down, And lift the Humble to a Throne. 4 His Hand holds forth a dreadful Cup, With purple Wine full mix'd 'tis crown'd, The deadly Potion which his Wrath, Shall pour upon the Nations round, Its bitter Dregs shalt sinners squeeze, And drink up all the deadly Lees. 5 But I will talk of Jacob's GOD, And to the World his Pow'r relate; His Justice, Truth and Mercy too, My song shall ever celebrate; The Wicked shall before him fly, The Just shall be exalted high. Scripture: Psalm 75 Languages: English Tune Title: [To thee, O God, we render Praise]

All things hang on our possessing

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a326 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Daily Duty Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing God's free love and grace and blessing, Though all earthly wealth depart; He who God for His hath taken, 'Mid the changing world unshaken, Keeps a free, heroic heart. 2 He who hitherto hath fed me And to many a joy hath led me, Is and ever shall be mine; He who did so gently school me, He who still doth guide and rule me, Will not leave me now to pine. 3 Shall I weary me with fretting O'er vain trifles and regretting Things that never can remain? I will strive but that to to win me Which can shed true rest within me, Rest the world must seek in vain. 4 When my heart with longing sickens, Hope again my courage quickens; For my wish shall be fulfilled, If is please His most will most tender: Life and soul I will surrender Unto Him on whom I build. 5 Well He knows how best to grant me All the longing hopes that haunt me; All things have their proper day. I to Him would dictate never, As God will, so be it ever, When He wills I will obey. 6 If on earth He bids me linger, He will guide me with His finger Through the years that now look dim; All that earth has fleets and changes, As a river onward ranges, But I rest in peace on Him.

O God, Thou faithful God

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a330 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Daily Duty Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God, Thou Fountain ever-flowing, Without whom nothing is, All perfect gifts bestowing; A pure and healthy frame O give me, and within A conscience free from blame, A soul unhurt by sin. 2 And grant me, Lord, to do With ready heart and willing, Whate'er Thou shalt command, My calling here fulfilling; To do it when I ought, With all my strength, and bless The work I thus have wrought, For Thou must give success. 3 And let me promise naught But I can keep it truly, Abstain from idle words, And guard my lips still duly; And grant, when in my place I must and ought to speak, My words due power and grace; Nor let me wound the weak. 4 If dangers gather round, Still keep me calm and fearless; Help me to bear the cross, When life is dark and cheerless; To overcome my foe With words and actions kind; When counsel I would know, Good counsel let me find. 5 And let me be with all In peace and friendship living, As far as Christians may; And if Thou aught art giving Of wealth and honors fair, That nought be mingled there Of goods unjustly got. 6 And if a longer life Be here on earth decreed me, And Thou through many a strife To ripe old age wilt lead me, Thy patience in me shed. Avert all sin and shame, And crown my hoary head With pure untarnished fame. 7 Let nothing here earth Me from my Savior sever; And when I die, O take My soul to Thee forever; And let my body have A little space to sleep Beside my kindred' grave, And o'er it vigil keep. 8 And when the Day is come, And all the dead are waking, O reach me down Thy hand, Thyself my slumbers breaking; Then let me hear Thy voice, And change this earthly frame, And bid me aye rejoice With those who love Thy name.
