A mighty Fortress is our God

Author: Dr. M. Luther Hymnal: HELC1886 #17 (1886) Tune Title: [A mighty Fortress is our God] Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a trusty Shield and Weapon; He helps us free from ev'ry need that hath us now o'ertaken. The old evil foe now means deadly woe: Deep guile and great might are his dread arms in fight, on earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One, Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye, Who is this? Jesus Christ it is, Of Sabaoth Lord, And there's none other God, He holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They cannot overpower us. This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, He can harm us none, He's judged; the deed is done; One little word can fell him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain, And not a thank have for it; He's by our side upon the plain With His good gifts and Spirit. And take they our life, Goods, fame, child, and wife: Let these all be gone, They yet have nothing won; The kingdom ours remaineth. Topics: The Church Year Languages: English

Blessed Jesus, at Thy word

Author: T. Clausnitzer Hymnal: HELC1886 #4 (1886) Tune Title: [Blessed Jesus, at Thy word] Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at Thy word we are gathered all to hear Thee; Let our hearts and souls be stirred now to seek and love and fear Thee; By Thy teachings sweet and holy drawn from earth to love Thee solely. 2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight Lie in deepest darkness shrouded, Till Thy Spirit breaks our night With the beams of truth unclouded; Thou alone to God canst win us, Thou must work all good within us. 3 Glorious Lord, Thyself impart! Light of light, from God proceeding, Open Thou our ears and heart, Help us by Thy Spirit’s pleading, Hear the cry Thy people raises, Hear and bless our prayers and praises. 4 Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Praise to Thee and adoration! Grant that we Thy Word may trust, And obtain true consolation, While we here below must wander, Till we sing Thy praises yonder. Topics: Worship Languages: English

Blessed Jesus, here we stand

Author: B. Schmolk Hymnal: HELC1886 #22 (1886) Tune Title: [Blessed Jesus, here we stand] Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, here we stand, met to do as Thou hast spoken, And this child, at Thy command, now we bring to Thee, in token that to Christ it here is given; for of such shall be Thy heaven. 2 Yes, Thy warning voice is plain, And we fain would keep it duly, "He who is not born again, Heart and life renewing truly, Born of water and the Spirit, Will My kingdom ne'er inherit." 3 Therefore hasten we to Thee; Take the pledge we bring, O take it! Let us here Thy glory see, And in tender pity make it Now Thy child, and leave it never, Thine on earth, and Thine forever. 4 Wash it, Jesus, in Thy blood, From the sin-stain of its nature; Let it rise from out this flood Clothed in Thee, a newborn creature; May it, washed as Thou hast bidden, In thine innocence be hidden. 5 Turn the darkness into light, To Thy grace receive and save it; Heal the serpent's venomed bite, In the font where now we lave it; Here let flow a Jordan river, And from leprosy deliver. 6 Make it, Head, Thy member now; Shepherd, take Thy lamb and feed it; Prince of peace, its peace be Thou; Way of life, to heaven lead it; Vine, this branch may nothing sever, Graft by faith in Thee forever. 7 Now into Thy heart we pour Prayers that from our hearts proceeded; Let our sighing heavenward soar, Let our warm desires be heeded; Write the name we now have given, Write it in the book of heaven.

Dear Christians, one and all rejoice

Author: Dr. M. Luther Hymnal: HELC1886 #25 (1886) Tune Title: [Dear Christians, one and all rejoice] Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all rejoice, with exultation springing, And with united heart and voice and holy rapture singing, tell how our God beheld our need, and sing His sweet and wondrous deed; right dearly it hath cost Him! 2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay, Death brooded darkly o'er me, My sin oppressed me night and day, Therein my mother bore me; Deeper and deeper still I fell, Life had became a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. 3 My good works could avail me naught, For they with sin were stainèd; Free-will against God's judgment fought, And dead to good remainèd. Grief drove me to despair, and I Had nothing left me but to die, To hell I fast was sinking. 4 Then God beheld my wretched state With deep commiseration; He thought upon His mercy great, and willed my soul's salvation; He turned to me a Father's heart-- Not small the cost!--to heal my smart, He gave His best and dearest. 5 He spake to His beloved Son: 'T is time to take compassion; Then go, my heart's most precious Crown, And bring to man salvation; From sin and sorrow set him free, Slay bitter death for him, that he May live with Thee forever. 6 The Son delighted to obey, And, born of Virgin mother, Awhile on this low earth did stay, That He might be my brother. His mighty power He hidden bore, A servant's form like mine He wore, To lead the devil captive. 7 To me He spake: "Hold fast by me, I am thy Rock and Castle; I wholly give myself for thee; For thee I strive and wrestle; For I am thine, and thou art mine, Henceforth my place is also thine, The foe shall never part us. 8 The foe shall shed my precious blood, Me of My life bereaving; All this I suffer for thy good; Be steadfast and believing. Life shall from death the vict'ry win, My righteousness shall bear thy sin, So art thou blest forever. 9 Now to My Father I depart, From earth to heav'n ascending, Thence heav'nly wisdom to impart, The Holy Spirit sending; He shall in trouble comfort thee, Teach thee to know and follow me, And into truth shall guide thee. 10 What have done and taught, do thou To do and teach endeavor; So shall my kingdom flourish now, And God be praised forever; Take heed lest men with base alloy The heav'nly treasure should destroy; This counsel I bequeath thee.

For me to live is Jesus

Author: Anna, Countess of Stolberg Hymnal: HELC1886 #30 (1886) Tune Title: [For me to live is Jesus] Lyrics: 1 For me to live is Jesus, to die is gain for me; to Him I gladly yield me, and die right cheerfully. 2 From hence I go with gladness To Christ, my Brother's side, That I may soon be with Him, And e'er with Him abide. 3 I have o'ercome life's crosses, Grief, pain, and sorrow cease, Through His five wounds most holy With God I am at peace. 4 When all my powers are breaking, My breath comes heavily, Nor word more I can utter, Lord, hear my sighs to Thee! 5 When reason, sense, and thinking Fail, like a flickering light, That to and fro doth waver, Ere 'tis extinguished quite: 6 Then let me softly, gently, Lord, fall asleep in Thee, When by Thy will and counsel My last hour comes to me. 7 As to the oak the ivy, So let me cleave to Thee, And live in heavenly glory With Thee eternally. 8 Amen! this wilt Thou, Jesus, Grant graciously to me. Endow me with Thy Spirit, That I fare happily. Topics: Death And Eternity Languages: English

From heaven above to earth I come

Author: Dr. M. Luther Hymnal: HELC1886 #9 (1886) Tune Title: [From heaven above to earth I come] Lyrics: 1 From heaven above to earth I come to bear good news to ev'ry home; glad tidings of great joy I bring, whereof I now will say and sing. 2 To you this night is born a child Of Mary, chosen Virgin mild; This little child, of lowly birth, Shall be the joy of all the earth. 3 This is the Christ, our God and Lord, Who in all need shall aid afford; He will Himself your Saviour be, From all your sins will make you free. 4 He brings those blessings, long ago Prepared by God for all below, That in His heavenly kingdom blest You may with us forever rest. 5 These are the tokens ye shall mark, The swaddling-clothes and manger dark; There shall ye find the young child laid, By whom the heavens and earth were made. 6 Now let us all with gladsome cheer Follow the shepherds, and draw near To see this wondrous gift of God, Who hath His own dear Son bestowed. 7 Give heed, my heart, lift up thine eyes! What is it in yon manger lies? Who is this child, so young and fair? Dear little Jesus lieth there. 8 Welcome to earth, Thou noble Guest, Through whom the sinful world is blest! Thou com'st to share my misery, What thanks shall I return to Thee? 9 Ah! Lord, who hast created all, How hast Thou made Thee weak and small, That Thou must lie on coarse dry grass, The food of humble ox and ass! 10 And were the world ten times as wide, With gold and jewels beautified, It would be far too small to be A narrow cradle, Lord, for Thee. 11 For velvets soft and silken stuff Thou hast but hay and straw so rough, Whereon Thou King, so rich and great, As 't were Thy heaven, art throned in state. 12 And thus, dear Lord, it pleasèd Thee To make this truth quite plain to me, That this world's honor, wealth, and might Are naught and worthless in Thy sight. 13 Ah! dearest Jesus, holy Child, Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled, Within my heart, that it may be A quiet chamber kept for Thee. 14 My heart for very joy doth leap, My lips no more can silence keep; I, too, must sing with joyful tongue That sweetest ancient cradle-song: 15 Glory to God in highest heaven, Who unto man His Son hath given! While angels sing with pious mirth A glad New Year to all the earth. Topics: The Church Year Languages: English

I fall asleep in Jesus' wounds

Author: Dr. P. Eber Hymnal: HELC1886 #31 (1886) Tune Title: [I fall asleep in Jesus' wounds] Lyrics: 1 I fall asleep in Jesus' wounds, there pardon for my sin abounds; Yea, Jesus' blood and righteousness my jewels are, my glorious dress, wherein before my God I stand, when I shall reach the heavenly land. 2 With peace and joy I now depart, God's child I am with all my heart; I thank thee, death, thou leadest me To that true life where I would be. So cleansed by Christ I fear not death. Lord Jesus, strengthen Thou my faith! Topics: Death And Eternity Languages: English
