Thou, Whose Coming Seers And Sages

Author: Karl J. Spitta; Richard Massie Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8971 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thou, whose coming seers and sages Long foretold to Israel, Hast appeared in these last ages, Jesu Christ, Emmanuel. O thou precious day of grace, Fraught with blessings to our race! None need now despair of pardon, Bowed beneath a hopeless burden. 2 Simeon longed for Thy salvation; David, wrapped with holy fire, Poured forth strains of inspiration, As he swept his royal lyre; Righteous men and gifted seers Longed for Thee in bygone years, Some in silence, some loud crying, Mingling prayers with tears and sighing. 3 God be blessèd, who hath granted In His grace to you and me, That for which so many panted— Vainly hoped to hear and see. Now God’s counsel is revealed, And the vision is unsealed; God hath heard your supplication, And is come to bring salvation. 4 Thou the Savior long expected Came to earth from His high throne, Sad He wanders and neglected, E’en received not by His own; Men permit Him to pass by Without love or sympathy; When He calls them they regard not, And sin on as though they heard not. 5 And He knocks, impelled by pity, At the house of rich and poor, Who in spite of His entreaty, Turn Him rudely from the door. They who do not see their sin Will not let the Savior in; For the whole need no physician, Satisfied with their condition. 6 Know ye Him who came to save us, By His heav’nly Father sent? All we needed freely gave us, Bare Himself our punishment. Live ye always as they ought Whom His precious blood hath bought? Are your names with those recorded Whose true love shall be rewarded? 7 Have you suffered Him to win you? Are you subject to His will? Is His kingdom formed within you? Or do you resist Him still? Whom do you ye your master call, Jesu Christ or Belial? Raise to Christ a loud hosanna! He alone is life’s true manna. 8 Joyfully we sing hosanna! Blessèd Savior, enter in; Feed us with the living manna, Cleanse our hearts from every sin. See, we open wide the door! Enter, to depart no more; Come, and let us now enthrone Thee In the hearts that long to own Thee. 9 Sin, alas! hath long compelled us Her dread bidding to obey, And, both soul and body, held us Captive with resistless sway; All our efforts have been vain To cast off her iron chain; Thou, and Thou alone, Lord Jesus, Canst from all our sins release us. 10 Take Thy kingdom, wait no longer, Since to Thee it doth belong; And He only who is stronger Can release us from the strong. Make us happy, God’s dear Son, Reap the fruit Thy love has won; Till earth’s furthest realms adore Thee, And her kings fall down before Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: WERDE MUNTER

When The Lord Recalls The Banished

Author: Samuel G. Bürde; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8972 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When the Lord recalls the banished, Frees the captives all at last, Every sorrow will have vanished Like a dream when night is past; Then shall all our hearts rejoice, And with glad resounding voice We shall praise the Lord who sought us, For the freedom He hath wrought us. 2 Lift Thy hand to aid us, Father, Look on us who widely roam, And Thy scattered children gather In their longed-for, promised home; Steep and weary is the way, Shorten Thou the sultry day; Faithful warriors hast Thou found us, Let Thy peace for aye surround us. 3 In that peace we reap in gladness What was sown in tearful showers: There the fruit of all our sadness Ripens—there the palm is ours; There our God upon His throne Is our full reward alone; They who all for God surrender Bring their sheaves in heav’nly splendor.

Wherefore Dost Thou Longer Tarry?

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13397 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 First Line: Wherefore dost Thou longer tarry Lyrics: 1 Wherefore dost Thou longer tarry, Blessed of the Lord, afar? Would it were Thy will to enter To my heart, O Thou my Star, Thou my Jesus, Fount of power, Helper in the needful hour! Sharpest wounds my heart is feeling, Touch them, Saviour, with Thy healing! 2 For I shrink beneath the terrors Of the law’s tremendous sway; All my countless crimes and errors Stand before me night and day. Oh the heavy, fearful load Of the righteous wrath of God! Oh the awful voice of thunder Cleaving heart and soul asunder! 3 While the foe my soul is telling, There is grace no more for thee, Thou must make thy endless dwelling In the pains that torture me. Yes, and keener still thy smart, Conscience, in my anguished heart, By thy venomed tooth tormented, Long past sins are sore repented. 4 Would I then, to soothe my sorrow, And my pain awhile forget, From the world a comfort borrow, I but sink the deeper yet, She hath comforts that but grieve, Joys that stinging memories leave, Helpers that my heart are breaking, Friends that do but mock its aching. 5 All the world can give is cheating, Strengthless all, and merely nought; Have I greatness, it is fleeting; Have I riches, are they aught But a heap of glittering earth? Pleasure? Little is it worth When it brings no joy or laughter That thou wilt not rue hereafter. 6 All delight, all consolation Lies in Thee, Lord Jesus Christ, Feed my soul with Thy salvation, O Thou Bread of Life unpriced. Blessed Light, within me glow, Ere my heart breaks in its woe; Oh refresh me and uphold me, Jesu, come, let me behold Thee. 7 Joy, my soul, for He hath heard thee, He will come and enter in; Lo! He turns and draweth toward thee, Let thy welcome-song begin; Oh prepare thee for such guest, Give thee wholly to thy rest, With an opened heart adore Him, Pour thy griefs and fears before Him. 8 Thy misdeeds are thine no longer, He hath cast them in the sea, And the love of God shall conquer All the strength of sin in thee. Christ is victor in the field, Mightiest wrong to Him must yield, He with blessing will exalt thee O’er whate’er would here assault thee. 9 What would seem to hurt or shame thee Shall but work thy good at last, Since the Christ hath deigned to claim thee, And His truth stands ever fast; And if thou can but endure, There is nought so fixed and sure, As that thou shalt hymn His praises In the happy heav’nly places.

Warum Willst Du Draussen Stehen?

Author: Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13575 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 First Line: Warum willst du draußen stehen Lyrics: 1 Warum willst du draußen stehen, Du Gesegneter des Herrn? Laß dir, bei mir einzugehen, Wohlgefallen, du mein Stern, Du mein Jesu, meine Freud, Helfer in der rechten Zeit, Hilf, o Heiland, meinem Herzen Von den Wunden, die mich schmerzen. 2 Meine Wunden sind der Jammer, Welchen oftmals Tag und Nacht Des Gesetzes starker Hammer Mir mit seinem Schrecken macht, O der schweren Donnerstimm, Die mir Gottes Zorn und Grimm Also tief ins Herze schläget, Daß sich all mein Blut beweget! 3 Dazu kommt des Teufels Lügen, Der mir alle Gnad absagt, Als müßt ich nun ewig liegen In der Höllen, die ihn plagt. Ja auch, was noch ärger ist, So zermartert und zerfrißt Mich mein eigenes Gewissen Mit vergiften Schlangenbissen. 4 Will ich dann mein Elend lindern Und erleichtern meine Not Bei der Welt und ihren Kindern, Fall ich vollends in den Kot. Da ist Trost, der mich betrübt, Freude, die mein Unglück liebt, Helfer, die mir Herzlied machen, Gute Freunde, die mein lachen. 5 In der Welt ist alles nichtig, Nichts ist, das nicht kraftlos wär. Hab ich Hoheit, die ist flüchtig; Hab ich Reichtum, was ists mehr, Als ein Stücklein armer Erd? Hab ich Lust, was ist sie wert? Was ist, das mich heut erfreuet, Das mich morgen nicht gereuet? 6 Aller Trost und alle Freude Ruht in dir, Herr Jesu Christ, Dein Erfreuen ist die Weide, Da man sich recht fröhlich ißt. Leuchte mir, o Freudenlicht, Ehe mir mein Herze bricht, Laß mich, Herr, an dir erquicken, Jesu, komm, laß dich erblicken. 7 Freu dich, Herz, du bist erhöret, Jetzo zeucht er bei dir ein; Sein Gang ist zu dir gekehret, Heiß ihn nur willkommen sein, Und bereite dich ihm zu, Gieb dich ganz zu seiner Ruh, Öffne dein Gemüt und Seele, Klag ihm, was dich drück und quäle. 8 Was du Böses hast begangen, Das ist alles abgeschafft. Gottes Liebe nimmt gefangen Deiner Sünde Macht und Kraft. Christi Sieg behält das Feld, Und was Böses in der Welt Sich will wider dich erregen, Wird zu lauter Glück und Segen. 9 Alles dient zu deinem Frommen, Was dir bös und schädlich scheint, Weil dich Christus angenommen Und es treulich mit dir meint. Bleibst du deme wieder treu, Ists gewiß und bleibt dabei, Daß du mit den Engeln droben Ihn dort ewig werdest loben. Languages: German Tune Title: WERDE MUNTER

Sink not yet, my soul, to slumber

Author: Johann Rist; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #312 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Sink not yet, my soul, to slumber, Wake my heart, go forth and tell All the mercies without number That this by-gone day befell; Tell how God hath kept afar All things that against me war, Hath upheld me and defended, And His grace my soul befriended. 2 Father, merciful and holy, Thee to-night I praise and bless, Who to labor true and lowly Grantest ever meet success; Many a sin and many a woe, Many a fierce and subtle foe, Hast Thou checked that once alarmed me, So that nought to-day has harm'd me, 3 E'en the twilight now hath vanished, Send Thy blessing on my sleep, Every sin and terror banished, Let my rest be calm and deep. Soul and body, mind and health, Wife and children, house and wealth, Friend and foe, the sick, the stranger, Keep Thou safe from harm and danger. 4 O Thou mighty God, now hearken To the prayer Thy child hath made; Jesus, while the night-hours darken Be Thou still my Hope, my Aid; Holy Ghost, on Thee I call, Friend and Comforter of all, Hear my earnest prayer, O hear me! Lord, Thou hearest, Thou art near me. Topics: The Catechism Evening Languages: English Tune Title: REGENSBURG (Werde munter, sein Gemüte)

Send, O Lord, Thy Holy Spirit

Author: F. W. Herzberger Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #534 (1930) Meter: 8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Send, O Lord, Thy Holy Spirit On Thy servant now, we pray; Let him prove a faithful shepherd To Thy little lambs alway. Thy pure teaching to proclaim, To extol Thy holy name And to feed Thy lambs aright, Make his aim and sole delight. 2 Thou, O Lord, Thyself hast called him For Thy precious lambs to care; But to prosper in his calling, He the Spirit's gifts must share. Grant him wisdom from above, Fill his heart with holy love; In all weakness strength supply, O Good Shepherd, hear our cry! 3 Help, Lord Jesus, help him nourish Our dear children with Thy Word, That in constant love they serve Thee Till in heav'n their song is heard. Boundless blessings, Lord, bestow On his faithful toil below, Till he lives, thro' Thy blest grace, Glory-crowned before Thy face.

Soul Of Mine, To God Awaking

Author: H. Brueckner; Joh. Rist Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #579 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Soul of mine, to God awaking, And ye senses, ev'ry one, Come, your quiet haunts forsaking, Tell what God for me has done; He through this entire day Has been with me on my way, To my many wants attending And all dangers from me fending. 2 Praise and thanks to Thee I render, Father Thou of mercies great. Thou hast been my strong Defender, Never shall Thy love abate. Thou hast shielded me from woe, Lent me strength and foiled the foe, So that I, Thy help beholding, Rest secure in Thine enfolding. 3 If from Thee I have departed, I return again to Thee, Knowing Thou art tender-hearted, Since Thy Son atoned for me. I cannot deny my guilt, But for me His blood was spilt, And Thy grace, all sin exceeding, Grants forgiveness at His pleading. 4 Grant that I in peace may slumber, Finding sweet and quiet rest. Let no cares my soul encumber, Keep it by Thy presence blest. Mind and body, child and wife, All my goods and all my life, Friends and foes, alike befriended, Be this night to Thee commended. 5 O immortal God, endue me With the gifts for which I ask. Jesus, lest some ill pursue me, Prosper me in ev'ry task. Holy Spirit, Comfort, Friend, On whose counsel I depend, Hearken to my earnest pleading; Amen, Thou my prayer art heeding.

Jesus, joy of our desiring

Author: Martin Janus, 1620?-1682?; Robert Seymour Bridges, 1844-1930 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #255 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Jesus, joy of our desiring, holy wisdom, love most bright; drawn by thee, our souls aspiring soar to uncreated light. Word of God, our flesh that fashioned, with the fire of life impassioned, striving still to truth unknown, soaring, dying, round thy throne. 2 Through the way where hope is guiding, hear what peaceful music rings, where the flock, in thee confiding, drink of joy from deathless springs. Theirs is beauty’s fairest pleasure; theirs is wisdom’s holiest treasure. Thou dost ever lead thine own in the love of joys unknown.
