Ah God, my days are dark indeed

Author: Martin Moeller; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: ELHW1908 #416 (1908) Tune Title: ACH GOTT UND HERR Lyrics: 1 Ah God, my days are dark indeed, How oft this aching heart must bleed! The narrow way how filled with pain, That I must pass ere heav'n I gain! How hard to teach this flesh and blood To seek alone th'eternal good! 2 Ah whither now for comfort turn? For Thee, my Jesus, do I yearn; In Thee have I, howe'er distrest, Found ever counsel, aid, and rest; I cannot all forsaken be While still my heart can trust in Thee. 3 Jesus, my only God and Lord, What sweetness in Thy name is stored! So dark and hopeless is no grief But Thy sweet name can bring relief, So keen no sorrows' rankling dart But Thy sweet Name can heal my heart. 4 Jesus, my Boast, my Light, my Joy, The Treasure nought can e'er destroy, No words, no song that I can frame Speak half the sweetness of Thy Name: They only all its power shall prove Whose hearts have learnt Thy faith and love. 5 Jesus, my Bridegroom and my Crown, If Thou but smile the world may frown, In Thee lie depths of joy untold, Far richer than her richest gold; Whene'er I do but think of Thee, Thy dews drop down and solace me; 6 Let me this flesh and blood control, From sin and shame preserve my soul, And keep me steadfast in the faith, Then I am Thine in life and death: Jesus, Consoler, bend to me! Ah would I were e'en now with Thee!

Hark, the glad sound, and the Savior comes

Author: Rev. Philip Doddridge Hymnal: ELHW1908 #20 (1908) Tune Title: ADVENT (Barnby's Hymnary Tune 113) Lyrics: 1 Hark, the glad sound, the Savior comes, The Savior promised long! Let ev'ry heart prepare a throne, And ev'ry voice a song. 2 He comes the pris'ners to release, In Satan's bondage held: The gates of brass before Him burst, The iron fetters yield. 3 He comes, the thickest films of vice To clear the mental ray; And on the eyes, oppressed with night, To pour celestial day. 4 He comes the broken heart to bind, The bleeding soul to cure, And with the treasures of His grace T'enrich the humble poor. 5 Our glad Hosannas, Prince of Peace! Thy welcome shall proclaim, And heaven's eternal arches ring With Thy beloved Name. Topics: The Church Year Advent; First Sunday of Advent; Sixth Sunday in Lent Languages: English

Ten thousand times ten thousand

Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: ELHW1908 #513 (1908) Tune Title: ALFORD Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light: 'Tis finished, all is finished, Their fight with death and sin: Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in. 2 What rush of alleluias Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made! O joy, for all its former woes A thousand-fold repaid! 3 Oh, then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore! What knitting severed friendships up, Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy power and reign! Appear, Desire of nations! Thine exiles long for home, Show in the heavens Thy promised sign! Thou Prince and Savior, come!

The newborn Child this early morn

Author: M. Cyriacus Schneegass; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Hymnal: ELHW1908 #46 (1908) Tune Title: ALSTONE Lyrics: 1 The new-born Child this early morn, The dear Christ-child of virgin born, Again brings from His heav'nly home A New Year to all Christendom. 2 This causes joy to angels fair, Who love to keep us in their care; They sing that in this wondrous Child God now with man is reconciled. 3 If God be reconciled with men, What harm can Satan do us then? O'er Satan, death, and gates of hell, This Christ-child shall for us prevail. 4 He brings the year of jubilee! Why doubt we yet despondently? Cheer up! This is a joyous day, The Christ-child drives all care away. Topics: The Church Year New Year; New Year's Day Languages: English

Here, in Thy name, eternal God

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: ELHW1908 #133 (1908) Tune Title: ALSTONE Lyrics: 1 Here, in Thy name, eternal God, We build this earthly house for Thee; O choose it for Thy fix'd abode, And keep it from all error free. 2 Here, when Thy people seek Thy face, And dying sinners pray to live, Hear Thou in heaven, Thy dwelling place, And when Thou hearest, Lord, forgive. 3 Here, when Thy messengers proclaim The blessed Gospel of Thy Son, Still, by the power of His great name, Be mighty signs and wonders done. 4 Thy glory never hence depart; Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone; Thy kingdom come to ev'ry heart; In ev'ry bosom fix Thy throne.

A little child, the Savior came

To keep them Thy way and Word; Be throughout life Thy blessings given, And in the end take them to heaven. Topics: The Catechism The Christian Household Languages: English

Thou little flock, be not afraid

Author: Johann Michael Altenburg; Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Hymnal: ELHW1908 #197 (1908) Tune Title: ALTENBURG (Geh aus, mein Herz) Lyrics: 1 Thou little flock, be not afraid, Tho' foes against thee stand arrayed, And ready to destroy thee, Although thy ruin they prepare, And fill thee oft with anxious care: They shall not long annoy thee. 2 Thy cause is God's; this comfort thee, And His, not thine, the vengeance be: Let Him perform His pleasure; The needful help thou shalt obtain, Thee and His word He will sustain, Through Christ, His own dear Treasure. 3 As God is God, and true His word, Fierce Satan and his hellish herd, The world and all their powers, Shall reap but shame beneath His rod: God is with us, and we with God: The vict'ry must be ours.

Am I soldier of the cross

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: ELHW1908 #382b (1908) Tune Title: AM I A SOLDIER OF THE CROSS Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross? A foll'wer of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His Name? 2 Must I be carried to the skies On flow'ry beds of ease? While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas? 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord! I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war Shall conquer though they die; They see the triumph from afar, With faith's discerning eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thine armies shine, In robes of vict'ry through the skies, The glory shall be Thine.
