Thy Word, O Lord, is gentle dew

Author: Carl Bernard Garve; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 46 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Word Lyrics: 1 Thy Word, O Lord, is gentle dew To suff'ring hearts that want it; O shed Thy heav'nly balm anew, To all Thy garden grant it. Refreshed by Thee, May ev'ry tree Bud forth and blossom to Thy praise, And bear much fruit in after days. 2 Thy Word is like a flaming sword, A sharp and mighty arrow, A wedge that cleaves the rock; that Word Can pierce through heart and marrow; O send it forth O'er all the earth, The darkened heart to cleanse and win, And shatter all the might of sin. 3 Thy Word, a wondrous star, supplies True guidance when we need it; It points to Christ, it maketh wise All simple hearts that heed it; Let not its light E'er sink in night, But still in every spirit shine, That none may miss that light divine. Used With Tune: HOPE (Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan)

How oft the day of God returns

Author: Simon Brown Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Sunday Evening Lyrics: 1 How oft the day of God returns To shed its quick'ning beams; And yet how slow devotion burns, How languid are its flames. 2 Accept our faint attempts to love; Our sins, O Lord, forgive; We would be like Thy saints above, And praise Thee while we live. 3 Increase, O Lord, our faith and hope, And fit us to ascend Where the assembly ne'er breaks up, Thy worship ne'er shall end; 4 When we shall with the ransomed throng, The Savior's praise proclaim, And give in an eternal song All glory to His Name.

Fully, through Thee, absolved I am From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 4 This spotless robe the same appears When ruined nature sinks in years; No age can change its glorious hue, The robe of Christ is ever new. 5 And when the dead shall hear Thy voice, Thy banished children shall rejoice; Their beauty this, their glorious dress, Jesus, the Lord our righteousness.

I know whom I believe in

Author: Ernst Moritz Arndt Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Redeemer Lyrics: 1 I know whom I believe in, I know what firm abides, When all around me fading Away like vapor glides. I know what lasts forever, When all things shake and fall, When wit the wise forsaketh, And craft doth craft forestall. 2 It is the Light of Glory; It is my Jesus, King; It is the Rock I stand on; It is of this I sing. He never more shall fail me, Deliv'rer, Shepherd mine, He lighteth all my darkness, He makes my path to shine. 3 He whom blood-stained they buried In the still twilight hour, He whom God waked from slumber, He who arose in power: He for my guilt atoneth, To me His Spirit gives, Me with His grace He crowneth: I live because He lives. 4 I know what I believe in, I know what standeth fast, And what, when earth shall crumble, Uncrumbled, still shall last; Through sorrow it bides with me, Mine when to death I bow, In heaven it will assure me A crown to deck my brow.
