All Praise to Thee, My God, This Night

Author: Thomas Ken, 1637-1711 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 1,045 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All praise to thee, my God, this night For all the blessings of the light. Keep me, oh, keep me, King of kings, Beneath thine own almighty wings. Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son The ill that I this day have done, That with the world, myself, and thee I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. 2 Teach me to live that I may dread The grave as little as my bed. Teach me to die so that I may Rise glorious at the awe-full day. Oh, may my soul on thee repose And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close, Sleep that shall me more vig'rous make To serve my God when I awake. 3 When in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heav'nly thoughts supply; Let no ill dreams disturb my rest, No pow'rs of darkness me distress. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heav'nly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Blessed Be the Fountain of Blood

Author: E. R. Latta Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E147 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1 Blessed be the Fountain of blood, To a world of sinners revealed: Blessed be the dear Son of God; Only by His stripes we are healed. Tho' I've wandered far from His fold, Bringing to my heart pain and woe, Wash me in the blood of the Lamb, And I shall be whiter than snow. 2 Thorny was the crown that He wore, And the cross His body o'ercame; Grievous were the sorrows He bore, But He suffered thus not in vain. May I to that Fountain be led, Made to cleanse my sins here below; Wash me in the blood that He shed, And I shall be whiter than snow. 3 Father, I have wandered from Thee, Often has my heart gone astray: Crimson do my sins seem to me-- Water cannot wash them away. Jesus, to that Fountain of Thine, Leaning on Thy promise I go: Cleanse me by Thy washing divine, And I shall be whiter than snow.

Ja, med sin hand han leder mig! Ack, att jag troget följde då Den hand, som huldt mig leder så! 2 Än genom sorgens mörka dal, Än genom glädjens blomstersal, Vid stilla bäck, på öknens sand – Städs håller mig hans säkra hand. [Kör] 3 Lär mig, o Gud, att sluta in Min hand förutan knot i din, Förnöjd, hur helst min lott jag får, Då jag har Gud, som med mig går. [Kör] 4 Och när mitt vandringslopp är slut Och med din nåd jag kämpat ut, Jag räds ej ens för dödens svall, Ty Gud och där mig leda skall.

Min enda fromhet

Author: Lina Sandell Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #S121 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D First Line: Min enda fromhet inför Gud Lyrics: 1 Min enda fromhet inför Gud Är syndernas förlåtelse, Min enda trygghet vid hans bud Är syndernas förlåtelse; Hur otraonstöter sig därpå, Det är ju doch i sanning så, Hur otron stöter sig där på, Det är ju dock i sanning så. 2 Det enda frälsningsord for mig Är syndernas förlåtelse, Det enda, som har lif med sig, Är syndernas förlåtelse; Förlåtelsen i Jesu blod, Ack, hvad den dock är ljuf och god! Förlåtelsen i Jesu blod, Ack hvad den doch är ljuf och god! 3 Min enda sköld mot dom och lag Är syndernas förlåtelse; Min enda kraft, då jag är svag, Är syndernas förlåtelse; Mitt enda skydd i sorg och ve Är syndernas förlåtelse. Mitt enda skydd i sorg och ve Är syndernas förlåtelse, 4 Min enda frid, o Herre kär, Är syndernas förlåtelse, Min enda glädje källa här Är syndernas förlåtelse; Hur ljufligt stärkas mod och håg Utaf den källans friska våg! Hur ljufligt stärkas mod och håg Urtaf den källans friska våg! 5 Men får jag tro en sådan nåd, Så fri och hel förlåtelse? För mig ej finnes annat råd Än fri och hel förlåtelse; Får jag ej lefva blott på den, Står intet hopp för mig igen, Får jag ej lefva blott på den, Står intet hopp för mig igen! 6 Så lå mig, Jesus, ständigt bo I syndernas förlåtelse Och hafva all min frid och ro I syndernas förlåtelse; Ty blott i denna fasta stad Jag lefver lycklig, trygg och glad, ty blott i denna fasta stad Jag lefver lycklig, trygg och glad!

Washington Gladden

1836 - 1918 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Author of "O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee" in Baptist Hymnal 2008 Washington Gladden (1836-1918) was called to the First Congregational Church in Columbus, OH in 1882 and remained there for 32 years. In 1883-84 he was known for his success in fighting the corrupt Tweed Ring, for arbitrating the Telegraphers' Strike and the Hocking Valley Coal Strike. He attacked John D. Rockefeller, Sr. for giving $100,000 of "tainted money" to the Congregational Church's Foreign Missions program. Throughout his ministry he emphasized applying the gospel to life in America. He wrote "O Master, let me walk with thee" in 1879. Mary Louise VanDyke =================== Gladden, Washington, was born at Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, Feb. 11, 1836; was educated at Williams College: and entered the Congregational Ministry. He was for some time editor of the New York Independent, and of the Sunday Afternoon. In the Sunday Afternoon, his hymn, "O Master, let me walk with Thee" (Walking with God), appeared in 3 stanzas of 8 lines, in March 1879. Of these stanzas i. and iii. are in Laudes Domini, 1884, and others. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) ================== Gladden, W., p. 1565, ii. Dr. Gladden has been Pastor of the First Congregational Church, Columbus, Ohio, since 1882. His hymn-writing has not been extensive. The most popular of his hymns is "0 Master, let me walk with Thee," noted on p. 1565, ii. It has come into somewhat extensive use during the last ten years. Additional hymns in common use include:— 1. Behold a Sower from afar. [The Kingdom of God.] In the Boston Pilgrim Hymnal, 1904, this is dated 1897. 2. Forgive, 0 Lord, the doubts that break Thy promises to me. [Doubting repented of.] Dated 1879, in The Pilgrim Hymnal, 1904. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)

Louis Bourgeois

1510 - 1561 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Composer of "OLD HUNDREDTH" in Lutherförbundets Sångbok Louis Bourgeois (b. Paris, France, c. 1510; d. Paris, 1561). In both his early and later years Bourgeois wrote French songs to entertain the rich, but in the history of church music he is known especially for his contribution to the Genevan Psalter. Apparently moving to Geneva in 1541, the same year John Calvin returned to Geneva from Strasbourg, Bourgeois served as cantor and master of the choristers at both St. Pierre and St. Gervais, which is to say he was music director there under the pastoral leadership of Calvin. Bourgeois used the choristers to teach the new psalm tunes to the congregation. The extent of Bourgeois's involvement in the Genevan Psalter is a matter of scholarly debate. Calvin had published several partial psalters, including one in Strasbourg in 1539 and another in Geneva in 1542, with melodies by unknown composers. In 1551 another French psalter appeared in Geneva, Eighty-three Psalms of David, with texts by Marot and de Beze, and with most of the melodies by Bourgeois, who supplied thirty four original tunes and thirty-six revisions of older tunes. This edition was republished repeatedly, and later Bourgeois's tunes were incorporated into the complete Genevan Psalter (1562). However, his revision of some older tunes was not uniformly appreciated by those who were familiar with the original versions; he was actually imprisoned overnight for some of his musical arrangements but freed after Calvin's intervention. In addition to his contribution to the 1551 Psalter, Bourgeois produced a four-part harmonization of fifty psalms, published in Lyons (1547, enlarged 1554), and wrote a textbook on singing and sight-reading, La Droit Chemin de Musique (1550). He left Geneva in 1552 and lived in Lyons and Paris for the remainder of his life. Bert Polman
