To Thee, O Lord, Will I Sing Praises

Author: Bartholomaeus Crasselius Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To Thee, O Lord, will I sing praises, For where is found a glorious God like Thee? To Thee my heart its anthem raises, O give Thy quick'ning Spirit's aid to me, That I may sing in Jesus' name alone, In strains which find acceptance at Thy throne. 2 O Father, draw me to the Savior, That He in turn may draw me unto Thee; Thy Spirit make my heart His dwelling And deign within my rule and guide to be, That I Thy wondrous peace may taste and feel As from my heart to Thee glad anthems peal. 3 Grant me, O Lord, this priceless treasure, Then shall my humble worship grateful be; Then beautiful will be the measure With which in heart and truth I worship Thee; Then near to Thee Thy Spirit shall me bring, And I a worthy psalm of praise shall sing. 4 For He can plead my cause with sighings That far surpass all pow'r of speech to tell; He teaches me to pray with fervor And witness bears that I beyond shall dwell, Thy child and heir with Christ, thro' whom I say: O Abba, Father, hear me when I pray. 5 What Thy good Spirit bids me utter Is truly with Thy will in sweet accord; Thou nevermore wilt fail to grant me What I request of Thee through Christ my Lord: In His dear name I come before Thy face And take from Thee, O Father, grace for grace. 6 I pray, then, in the name of Jesus, Who ever pleads for me at Thy right hand; Thus my petitions all are granted, For Thou wilt nevermore His pleas withstand. What joy and bliss beyond compare is mine! For this, O Lord, be all the glory Thine! Topics: Praise Used With Tune: CRASSELIUS Text Sources: Tr. Composite

Lift Up The Banner Of Salvation

Author: H. Brueckner; K. V. Tamminen Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lift up the banner of salvation, That white and blood-dyed banner of the cross. Proclaim it wide to ev'ry nation: There is redemption from our dreaded loss; The Lamb of God upon the cross was slain That man the promised crown of life might gain. 2 Raise high that banner for each nation, Let ev'ry eye behold the Crucified, Whom God before the world's foundation Had as a ransom for us set aside. Do not this truth from anyone withhold; To all the message of the cross be told. 3 Lift up the banner, tell the story: With Jesus' blood thou, too, wast dearly bought; Behold, the mighty Lord of glory Complete salvation for us all hath wrought. Poor, weeping soul, be happy and rejoice And praise the Lamb of God with gladsome voice. 4 Then let no other news be spoken, Let ev'ryone the Master's Word repeat. Why should a man, with promise broken, Proclaim the wisdom of his own conceit? For such a one will nevermore be blest, Since God's displeasure must upon him rest. 5 Regard us from Thy habitation, For we are erring, blind and poor, O Lord. That wisdom which is our salvation Remains alone with Thine unerring Word, And even this we cannot comprehend If Thou wilt not Thy Spirit's brightness lend.

Awake, Thou Spirit Bold And Daring

Author: H. Brueckner; C. H. von Bogatzky Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Awake, Thou Spirit bold and daring, Bear witness as in days of long ago. The watchmen on the walls of Zion Embolden Thou to move against the foe. May they go forth to lands beyond the sea And bring the Gentile nations, Lord, to Thee. 2 O that Thy fire might soon be kindled, O that its flames to ev'ry land might leap! O Lord, send may faithful servants Thy harvest fields thro'out the world to reap. A harvest great presents itself to view, But they who reap the harvest are so few! 3 The prayer Thy Son Himself has taught us, We offer it to Thee at His command; Behold how ev'rywhere Thy children As suppliants, O Lord, before Thee stand, With yearning hearts to make this ardent plea; So hear us, Lord, and say, Thus shall it be! 4 Send hosts of men to preach the Gospel, In spirit strong, in perils unafraid; Make haste to help us in our weakness, And Satan's dark domain with might invade. The kingdoms of the earth for Thee reclaim, That ev'ry tongue may bless Thy holy name. Topics: The Means of Grace Missions Used With Tune: CRASSELIUS

O Father, draw me to my Savior That Thy dear Son may draw me unto Thee; Thy Spirit guide my whole behavior And rule both sense and reason thus in me, That, Lord, Thy peace I taste may ne’er depart, But wake sweet melodies within my heart. 3. O joy! our hope and trust are founded On His sure Word, and witness in the heart; I know Thy mercies are unbounded, And all good gifts Thou freely wilt impart, Nay, more is lavished by Thou bounteous hand, Than we can ask or seek or understand. 4. O joy! In His name we draw near Thee, Who ever pleadeth for the sons of men; I ask in faith and Thou wilt hear me, In Him Thy promises are all Amen. O joy for me! and praise be ever Thine, Whose wondrous love has made such blessings mine! Used With Tune: DIR, DIR, JEHOVAH Text Sources: Geistreiches Gesangbuch (Halle, Germany: 1697), page 587

O Mighty God Of Earth And Heaven

Author: Paul E. Kretzmann Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O mighty God of earth and heaven, Whose praises are thro' endless ages sung, The saints, to whom Thy grace is given, Their voices raise the heav'nly choir among, In music far surpassing human thought, To praise salvation which Thy Son has wrought. 2 But we, who in this vale of sorrow Our way as pilgrims far from home pursue, Look forward to a bright tomorrow, When we shall see both earth and heaven new, There we shall meet our Savior face to face And ever magnify His boundless grace. 3 This lends us joy in fullest measure, While we as strangers here below must roam; Our hearts are all aglow with pleasure As we look forward to that blissful home; But still our spirit ever longs and sighs To dwell with Jesus under fairer skies. 4 What here is quite beyond our telling, And we behold but darkly through a glass, The fondest hopes within us dwelling Will there in fullest beauty come to pass. O Savior, come and take us all to Thee, That we our precious hopes fulfilled may see. Topics: The Means of Grace God Used With Tune: CRASSELIUS
