Now I have Found the Firm Foundation

Author: Johann A. Rothe Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #385 (1941) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the firm foundation Which holds mine anchor ever sure; ’Twas laid before the world’s creation In Christ my Savior’s wounds secure; Foundation which unmoved shall stay When heav’n and earth will pass away. 2 It is that mercy never ending Which human wisdom far transcends, Of Him who, loving arms extending, To wretched sinners condescends; Whose heart with pity still doth break Whether we seek Him or forsake. 3 Our ruin God hath not intended, For our salvation He hath yearned; For this His Son to earth descended And then to heav’n again returned; For this so patient evermore He knocketh at our heart’s closed door. 4 O depth of love, to me revealing The sea where my sins disappear! In Christ my wounds find perfect healing, There is no condemnation here; For Jesus’ blood through earth and skies Forever "Mercy! Mercy!" cries. 5 I never will forget this crying; In faith I’ll trust it all my days, And when o’er all my sins I’m sighing, Into the Father’s heart I’ll gaze; For there is always to be found Free mercy without end and bound. 6 Though I be robbed of every pleasure That makes my soul and body glad And be deprived of earthly treasure And be forsaken, lone, and sad, Though my desire for help seem vain, His mercy shall with me remain. 7 Though earthly trials should oppress me And cares from day to day increase; Though earth’s vain things should sore distress me And rob me of my Savior’s peace; Though I be brought down to the dust, Still in His mercy I will trust. 8 When all my deeds I am reviewing, The deeds that I admire the most, I find in all my thought and doing That there is naught whereof to boast. Yet this sweet comfort shall abide-- In mercy I can still confide. 9 Let mercy cause me to be willing To bear my lot and not to fret. While He my restless heart is stilling, May I His mercy not forget! Come weal, come woe, my heart to test, His mercy is my only rest. 10 I’ll stand upon this firm foundation As long as I on earth remain; This shall engage my meditation While I the breath of life retain; And then, when face to face with Thee, I’ll sing of mercy, great and free. Amen. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Languages: English Tune Title: O DASS ICH TAUSEND

Blest is the Man, Forever Blest

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #392 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man, forever blest, Whose guilt is pardoned by his God, Whose sins with sorrow are confessed And covered with his Savior's blood. 2 Blest is the man to whom the Lord Imputes not his iniquities; He pleads no merit of reward And not on works but grace relies. 3 From guile his heart and lips are free; His humble joy, his holy fear, With deep repentance well agree And join to prove his faith sincere. 4 How glorious is that righteousness That hides and cancels all his sins, While bright the evidence of grace Thro' all his life appears and shines! Amen. Scripture: Psalm 32 Languages: English Tune Title: O JESU CHRIST, MEIN'S

I hear His warning voice, I feel His loving hand; Temptations and deceits With Him I thus withstand. 4 I know in Whom I trust When peace and joy forsake me, When fain my heart would break, And sorrows overtake me. The suffering of my Lord, His anguish, pain, and woe Remind me of the way We after Him must go. 5 I know in Whom I trust When evening shadows lengthen, When death stands at the door,-- For Christ is there to strengthen. He died upon the cross To conquer death and hell; A Conqueror He rose, And all with us is well. 6 I know in Whom I trust; I praise Him and adore Him; By works I show my faith; My heart I lay before Him; Not only crying, "Lord!" I take Him as my Guide, And thus in life and death In Him alone abide. Amen. Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:12 Languages: English Tune Title: ACH JESU, DESSEN TREU

How Firm a Foundation, Ye Saints of the Lord

I'll never--no never--no never forsake!" Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 41:10 Languages: English Tune Title: ADESTE FIDELES (PORTUGUESE HYMN)

Vanish Doubt and Hesitation!

Author: Johann Adolph Schlegel; Samuel Magnus Hill Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #440 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Vanish doubt and hesitation! My Redeemer is the Lord. Hearken to His invitation By the Spirit and the Word. Clearly He perceives thy anguish; O my soul, why longer languish! Although I am weak and ill, God remains my Father still. 2 He will pity and relieve me, Who can then condemn my soul? Satan and the world deceive me, Jesus Christ will make me whole. Why, then, should my heart accuse me, Or my conscience still confuse me? God the Father makes me free, And His Spirit comforts me. 3 Jesus Christ for me has suffered, And by faith He is my own. Satisfaction He has offered, And the way to heaven shown. Through His full propitiation I have free and full salvation. He has conquered death and hell; He has thus made all things well. 4 In His merit now confiding, I look up to Him with joy; For His promise is abiding-- Who can now my peace destroy? Weal nor woe shall e'er deprive me Of the portion that He gave me. My Redeemer, Lord divine, I am Thine, forever Thine. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: TVIFLAN UR MIN SJÄL FÖRSVINNE

Thy works, not mine, O Christ

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #329 (1918) Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Thy works, not mine, O Christ, Speak gladness to this heart; They tell me all is done; They bid my fear depart, To whom, save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? 2 Thy cross, not mine, O Christ, Has borne the awful load Of sins, that none in heaven Or earth could bear but God. To whom, save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? 3 Thy death, not mine, O Christ, Has paid the ransom due; Ten thousand deaths like mine Would have been all too few. To whom, save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? 4 Thy righteousness, O Christ, Alone can cover me; No righteousness avails Save that which is of Thee. To whom, save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? Languages: English
