Of Zion's Honor Angels Sing

Author: Emanuel Cronenwett Hymnal: ALH1930 #91 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Of Zion's honor angels sing! In Zion Christ alone is King; In grace He rules with gentle sway And leads her heav'nward, day by day. 2 For Zion knows no other Lord, But cleaves to His unerring Word: To her suffices: Jesus saith! This is her source and rule of faith. 3 To her He gave the Pow'r of Keys, To bind and loose as He decrees; Thro' her declares our sins forgiv'n That we may be fit heirs of heav'n. 4 Apostles, prophets, He hath sent To her with Word and Sacrament, And still sends servants of the Word To serve the Church and Christ, her Lord. 5 God Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Adored by all the heav'nly host, We bow in Zion at Thy throne,-- No other God and Lord we own. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO

Built On The Rock, The Church Doth Stand

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig; C. Doving Hymnal: ALH1930 #92 (1930) Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock, the Church doth stand, Even though steeples be falling; Crumble may spires in ev'ry land; Bells still are chiming and calling, Calling the young and old to rest. But above all the soul distressed, Longing for rest in the Savior. 2 Surely in temples made with hands God the Most High is not dwelling; High above earth His temple stands, All earthly temples excelling; Yet He who dwells in heav'n above Deigns to descend to us in love, Making our bodies His temple. 3 We are God's house, of living stones Built for His own habitation; He in our hearts as Sov'reign thrones, Granting us life and salvation; Were there but two to seek His face, He would draw near them with His grace, Blessings upon them bestowing. 4 Now we may gather with our King E'en in the lowliest dwelling; Praises to Him we there may bring, Bounteous mercy forth-telling; Jesus His grace to us accords, Spirit and life are all His words, His truth doth hallow the temple. 5 Grant then, O God, who dwell'st on high, That when the church bells are ringing Many to Jesus may draw nigh Where He His message is bringing: I know Mine own, Mine own know Me, Ye, not the world, My face shall see; My peace I leave with you. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Languages: English Tune Title: MIRKEN

Beautiful Upon The Mountain

Author: H. Brueckner Hymnal: ALH1930 #93 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Beautiful upon the mountain Are the feet of shepherds true, Who from out the living Fountain Grace dispense each day anew. Precious is the peace they offer In the Savior's own dear name, Who, for us His life to proffer, From His throne in heav'n He came. 2 Earthly chains must not enslave him Who would serve our gracious Lord; In the strength the Master gave him He must preach His holy Word, Gladly bearing pain and sorrow, Self-forgetful evermore. Hoping that a brighter morrow God has kept for him in store. 3 Let him speak to ev'ry nation Of the Savior's boundless love; Let him tell of God's salvation, Of the blissful home above. Let him comfort hearts that languish In the throes of sin and pain, That, relieved from all their anguish, Peace and rest they may obtain. 4 Be it told to sinners stricken With the fear of death and hell: Christ your fainting hearts will quicken And all mortal fears dispel. Be it told to those in prison, Chained by tho'ts of doubt and care: Christ, Who died, again is risen And with you His home will share.

Lord, Cause Thy Face On Us To Shine

Author: Thomas Cotterill Hymnal: ALH1930 #94 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, cause Thy face on us to shine, Give us Thy peace and seal us Thine; Teach us to prize the means of grace And love Thine earthly dwelling-place. 2 One is our faith and one our Lord; One body, Spirit, hope, reward: May we in one communion be One with each other, one with Thee. 3 Bless all whose voice salvation brings, Who minister in holy things; Our pastors, elders, deacons bless; Clothe them with zeal and righteousness: 4 Let many in the judgment day, Turned from the error of their way, Their hope, their joy, their crown appear:-- Save those who preach and those who hear. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Ministry Languages: English Tune Title: HEBRON

Go Forth, Ye Heralds, In My Name

Author: James Maxwell Hymnal: ALH1930 #95 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Go forth, ye heralds, in My name, Sweet let the Gospel trumpet sound; The glorious jubilee proclaim, Where'er the human race is found. 2 The joyful news to all impart And teach them where salvation lies; With care bind up the broken heart And wipe the tears from weeping eyes. 3 Be wise as serpents where you go, But harmless as the peaceful dove; And let your heav'n-taught conduct show Ye are commissioned from above. 4 From Me ye freely have received, In love, to others freely give; Thus shall your doctrines be believed, And, by your labors, sinners live.

Lord, Thine appointed servants bless; Thy promised pow'r to each supply And clothe Thy priests with righteousness. 2 Faith, wisdom, zeal and strength impart, Grant patience, meekness from above, To bear Thy people on their heart And love the souls whom Thou dost love; 3 To watch, and pray, and never faint; By day and night their guard to keep; To warn the sinner, cheer the saint, Protect Thy lambs and feed Thy sheep. 4 And when their work is finished here, Let them in hope their charge resign; Before the throne with joy appear And there with endless glory shine.

By Nature Man Cannot Achieve

Author: H. Brueckner; David Denicke Hymnal: ALH1930 #97 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 By nature man cannot achieve True knowledge of salvation, Nor yet the things of God believe, However high his station. Until Thy Word, that light divine, Within our hearts begins to shine, O God, we grope in darkness. 2 But Thou, O God, in days of old Didst send us faithful teachers. Who by Thy Spirit did unfold Thy holy will as preachers; At last Thy Son to earth came down, Who wore for us the thorny crown, Thy will and counsel taught us. 3 For this, O God, we sing Thy praise; True knowledge now possessing, May we continue in Thy ways And thus obtain Thy blessing. May we Thy Word with joy receive And in its saving truth believe, As Thine own revelation. 4 O let Thy Word, that shining light, Illume our pathway ever; Help us to keep it pure and bright, And may it fail us never, But comfort give in ev'ry need; In life, in death may we take heed And trust its faithful guidance. 5 O God, our Father, spread Thy Word To Thine own praise and glory; Enlighten us, O Christ, our Lord, With Thy true Gospel story; O Holy Spirit, gracious Light, Teach us to know the truth aright And work all good within us.

Lift Up The Banner Of Salvation

Author: H. Brueckner; K. V. Tamminen Hymnal: ALH1930 #98 (1930) Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Lift up the banner of salvation, That white and blood-dyed banner of the cross. Proclaim it wide to ev'ry nation: There is redemption from our dreaded loss; The Lamb of God upon the cross was slain That man the promised crown of life might gain. 2 Raise high that banner for each nation, Let ev'ry eye behold the Crucified, Whom God before the world's foundation Had as a ransom for us set aside. Do not this truth from anyone withhold; To all the message of the cross be told. 3 Lift up the banner, tell the story: With Jesus' blood thou, too, wast dearly bought; Behold, the mighty Lord of glory Complete salvation for us all hath wrought. Poor, weeping soul, be happy and rejoice And praise the Lamb of God with gladsome voice. 4 Then let no other news be spoken, Let ev'ryone the Master's Word repeat. Why should a man, with promise broken, Proclaim the wisdom of his own conceit? For such a one will nevermore be blest, Since God's displeasure must upon him rest. 5 Regard us from Thy habitation, For we are erring, blind and poor, O Lord. That wisdom which is our salvation Remains alone with Thine unerring Word, And even this we cannot comprehend If Thou wilt not Thy Spirit's brightness lend.

Hail To The Brightness Of Zion's Glad Morning

Author: T. Hastings Hymnal: ALH1930 #99 (1930) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning, Joy to the lands that in darkness have lain! Hushed be the accents of sorrow and mourning, Zion in triumph begins her mild reign. 2 Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning, Long by the prophets of Israel foretold; Hail to the millions from bondage returning! Gentiles and Jews the blest vision behold. 3 Lo, in the desert rich flowers are springing, Streams ever copious are gliding along; Loud from the mountain-tops echoes are ringing, Wastes rise in verdure and mingle in song. 4 See, from all lands, from the isles of the ocean, Praise to Jehovah ascending on high; Fall'n are the engines of war and commotion, Shouts of salvation are rending the sky.

From Greenland's Icy Mountains

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: ALH1930 #100 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand; From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Though ev'ry prospect pleases And only man is vile: In vain, with lavish kindness, The gifts of God are strewn; The heathen in his blindness Bows down to wood and stone. 3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted By wisdom from on high-- Shall we to man benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation, O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim Till earth's remotest nation Has learned Messiah's name. 4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story; And you, ye waters, roll Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole; Till o'er our ransomed nature, The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, Returns in bliss to reign.
