O Death, Where Is Thy Cruel Sting

Author: Justus Gesenius; Geo. Weissel Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: O death, where is thy cruel sting? Lyrics: 1 O death, where is thy cruel sting? O grave, where is thy power? What harm to us can Satan bring? Why need we fear or cower? All thanks to God who won the fight And saved us from our wretched plight Thro' Jesus Christ, our Savior. 2 How mightily the serpent strove When Christ with him contended! Thro' craftiness awhile he throve, But now his rule is ended. For tho' he bruised the Savior's heel, He yet no mortal thrust could deal; His head is bruised and trodden. 3 He lives, who by the foe was slain And held awhile in prison; His members now shall freedom gain, Since He, their Head, is risen. If heed unto His Word they give, Tho' they were dead, yet shall they live; Nor death nor grave an hold them. 4 If daily we with Christ arise Thro' faith and true repentance, Then may we calmly close our eyes And laugh to scorn death's sentence; For death is shorn of all its pow'rs, While peace and pardon now are ours, Eternal life and glory. 5 Behold the spoils that we possess, For which the Lord has striven: Forgiveness, peace and righteousness, Eternal life in heaven. So here we now with joy abide Till, in the body glorified, We dwell with Him forever. Topics: The Church Year Easter Used With Tune: DECIUS Text Sources: Tr. Composite

For help, O whither shall I flee?

Author: J. Neander Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For help, O whither shall I flee? Who now to peace will guide me? To none, dear Savior, but to Thee, Can I with hope confide me. 'Tis Thine to give the weary rest, The mourning soul in Thee is blest,-- Help, Jesus, the afflicted! 2 My sin, O Lord, is now my grief, Against my will it rages: Thy grace alone an bring relief, While sin its warfare wages, All that I need is known to Thee, And now a part myself can see,-- Help, Jesus, the sin-burdened! 3 Good Shepherd, bearest Thou the weak? Sustain me in my weakness! Thou great Physician of the sick, Heal Thou my moral sickness! A prey to death I helpless fall,-- For health and strength to Thee I call, Save, Jesus, or I perish! 4 To those who trust Thee--"Nothing fear? I am the life!"--Thou criest; Seeks not my soul, with strong desire, The life which Thou suppliest? Though all my sorrows Thou canst lead, In death provide for every need-- Help, Jesus, the confiding. 5 I would do good, but still I fail,-- Must I thus always waver? What grief it gives Thou knowest well. Who shall my soul deliver, And set the salve for ever free From sin and death to live with Thee?-- I thank Thee, God, through Jesus!

O Son of God, we wait for Thee

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Son of God, we wait for Thee, We long for Thine appearing, We know Thou sittest on the throne, And we Thy name are bearing. Who trusts in Thee, may joyful be, And see Thee, Lord, descending, To bring us bliss unending. 2 We wait for Thee, ’mid toil and pain, In weariness and sighing; But glad that Thou our guilt hast borne, And cancelled it by dying. Hence, cheerfully may we with Thee Take up our cross and bear it, Till we relief inherit. 3 We wait for Thee; here Thou hast won Our hearts to hope and duty; But while our spirits feel Thee near, Our eyes would see Thy beauty; We fain would be at rest with Thee In peace and joy supernal, In glorious life eternal. 4 We wait for Thee: sure Thou wilt come, The time is swiftly nearing; In this we also now rejoice, And long for Thine appearing. Oh, bliss ’twill be when Thee we see, Homeward Thy people bringing, With transport and with singing!

With trembling awe the chosen three

Author: W. W. How Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With trembling awe the chosen three The holy mount ascended, Where, wrapped in blissful ecstacy, They saw the vision splendid-- Their Lord arrayed in living light, And on His left hand and His right, By glorious saints attended. 2 O vision bright, too bright to tell, The joys of heaven unveiling! How precious on those hearts it fell, When earthly hopes were failing; When, saints no more on either side, Between the thieves the Savior died 'Mid hate, and scorn, and railing! 3 Grant us, dear Lord, some vision brief Of future triumph telling, Gilding with hope our night of grief, Our clouds of fear dispelling. If the dim foretaste was so bright, O what shall be the dazzling light Of Thine eternal dwelling!

With her cruse of alabaster

Author: Nikolai Frederick Severin Grundtvig, 1783-1872; J. C. Aaberg Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: With her cruse of alabaster, Filled with ointment rare and sweet, Came the woman to the Master, Knelt contritely at His feet, Feeling with unfeigned contrition How unfit was her condition To approach the Holy One. Like this woman, I contritely Often must approach the Lord, Knowing that I cannot rightly Ask a place beside His board. Sinful and devoid of merit, I can only cry in spirit: Lord, be merciful to me. Lord of Grace and Mercy, harken To my plea for grace and light. Threatening clouds and tempests darken Now my soul with gloomy night. Let, despite my guilt and error, My repenting tears still mirror Thy forgiving smile, O Lord.

The God of your forefathers praise

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: The God of your forefathers praise, Thou, Brethren's Congregation! Whose mighty arm, by wondrous ways, Accomplished their salvation: He heard their groans, came down and broke The bigot's chain, the tyrant's yoke, And led them forth to freedom. He brought them to his chosen place, Among the woods and mountains; The desert fled before their face. Gardens, and fields, and fountains, Round their new homes and temple sprang, While day and night hosannas rang Through all their little Zion. 286 They walked with God in peace and love, But failed with one another; While sternly for the faith they strove, Brother fell out with brother: But He, in whom they put their trust, Who knew their frames, that they were dust, Pitied and healed their weakness. He found them in His house of prayer, With one accord assembled, And so reveal'd His presence there, They wept for joy, and trembled; One cup they drank, one bread they brake, One baptism shared, one language spake, Forgiving and forgiven. Then forth they went with tongues of flame, In one blest theme delighting, The love of Jesus, and His Name God's children all uniting! That love, our theme and watchword still; That law of love may we fulfil, And love as we have loved. Jesus, Thy little flock behold, Here met in sweet communion, Confirm, as in the years of old, Our sacramental union; Renew that day of Pentecost, Send down on us the Holy Ghost, The promise of the Father. Now blow the trump of Jubilee, And while the Church rejoices, 287 As in one faith, hope, charity, Join songs, and hearts, and voices, To Father, Son, and Spirit raise, On earth, the song of heavenly praise, Sing, "Holy, Holy, Holy."
