Blessed Is the Man

Thine all-sufficient merit is On earth my peace, in heav'n my bliss. 5 God Holy Spirit, Pow'r Divine, Thou workest in this heart of mine; Naught can be counted good in me But what proceeds alone from Thee. 6 Through Thee I now my God adore And call Him Father evermore; Through Thee His Word and Sacrament I love and hold till life is spent. 7 Grant that in peace I close mine eyes, But on the Last Day bid me rise And let me see Thy face fore'er-- Amen, Amen, Lord, hear my prayer!

Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Author: J. Fawcett, 1740-1817 Hymnal: ELH1996 #420 (1996) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. 2 Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear, And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. 4 When here our pathways part, We suffer bitter pain; Yet, one in Christ and one in heart, We hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revives Our courage by the way, While each in expectation lives And longs to see the day. 6 From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin we shall be free And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.

Behold a Host, Arrayed in White

Author: H. A. Brorson, 1694-1764 Hymnal: ELH1996 #553 (1996) Lyrics: 1 Behold a host, arrayed in white, Like thousand snow-clad mountains bright; With palms they stand. Who is this band Before the throne of light? Lo, these are they, of glorious fame Who from the great affliction came And in the flood of Jesus' blood Are cleansed from guilt and blame. Now gathered in the holy place, Their voices they in worship raise; Their anthems swell where God doth dwell Mid angels' songs of praise. 2 Despised and scorned, they sojourned here; But now, how glorious they must appear! Those martyrs stand, a priestly band, God's throne forever near. So oft in troubled days gone by, In anguish they would weep and sigh; At home above the God of love For aye their tears shall dry. They now enjoy their Sabbath rest, The paschal banquet of the blest; The Lamb, their Lord, at festal board Himself is Host and Guest. 3 Then hail! ye mighty legions, yea, All hail! Now safe and blest for aye; And praise the Lord, who with His Word Sustained you on the way. Ye did the joys of earth disdain, Ye toiled and sowed in tears and pain; Farewell, now bring your sheaves and sing Salvation's glad refrain. Swing high your palms, lift up your song, Yea, make it myriad voices strong: Eternally shall praise to Thee, God, and the Lamb belong.
