O Father, May Thy Word Prevail
Author: H. A. Brorson, 1694-1764; G. A. T. Rygh, 1860-1942 Meter: 8.6.8.6.6.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 O Father, may Thy Word prevail
Against the gates of hell!
Behold the vineyard Thou hast tilled
With thorns and thistles filled.
'Tis true, Thy plants are there;
But, ah, how weak and rare!
How slight the pow'r in evidence
Of Word and Sacraments!
2 Come, Jesus, come and contemplate
Thy vineyard's sad estate;
Baptized are millions in Thy name,
But where is faith's pure flame?
Of what avail that we
Know of Thine agony
So long as we do not o'erthrow
In faith the wicked foe?
3 O Holy Ghost, to Thee, our light,
We cry by day, by night:
Come, grant us of the light and pow'r
Our fathers had of yore;
When Thy dear Church did stand
A tree, deep-rooted, grand;
Full-crowned with blossoms white as snow,
With purple fruits aglow! Topics: Church Militant; Epiphany 5 Used With Tune: AK, FADER, LAD DIT ORD
O Father, May Thy Word Prevail
Come, brethren, let us hasten on!
Author: G. Tersteegen Meter: 8.6.8.6.6.6.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Come, brethren, let us hasten on!
The evening closeth round,
'Tis perilous to linger here
On this wild desert ground.
Come, toward eternity,
Press on from strength to strength,
Nor dread your journey's toil and length,
For good its end shall be.
2 We shall not sue our final choice,
Though straight our path and steep;
We know that He who called us here,
His word shall ever keep.
Then follow, trusting, come,
And let each set his face
Toward yonder fair and blessed place,
Intent to reach our home.
3 Come, children, let us unward go!
We travel hand in hand;
Each in his brother find his joy
In this wild stranger land.
As children let us be,
Nor by the way fall out,
The angels guard us round about,
And help us brotherly.
4 Let all the strong be quick to raise
The weaker when they fall;
Let love and peace and patience bloom
In ready help for all.
In love yet closer bound,
Each would be least, yet still
On love's fair path most pure from ill,
Most loving would be found.
5 Come, brothers, wander on with joy,
For shorter grows the way,
The hour that frees us from the flesh
Draws nearer day by day.
A little truth and love,
A little courage yet,
More free from earth, more apt to set
Your hopes on things above.
6 It will not last for very long,
A little farther roam;
It will not last much longer now
Ere we shall reach our home;
There shall we ever rest,
There with our Father dwell,
With all the saints who served Him well,
There truly, deeply blest.
7 Friend of our dear and perfect choice,
Thou joy of all that live,
Being that know'st not chance or change,
What courage dost thou give!
All beauty, Lord, we see,
All bliss and life and love,
In Him in whom we live and move,
And we are glad in Thee. Topics: The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; Brotherly Love; Pilgrimage Used With Tune: [Come, brethren, let us hasten on!]
Come, brethren, let us hasten on!
Ak Fader lad dit Ord, din Aand
Author: Brorson Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Ak Fader, lad dit Ord, din Aand
Dog ret saa Overhaand!
Og se hvor fuld din Urtegaard
Af Torn og Tidsel staar!
Din Vekst du har vel her,
Men, ak, hvor tynd den er!
Hvor lidet er dog Kraften kjendt
Af Ord og Sacrament!
2 O Jesu, Jesu, kom dog snart
At se din Vingaards Art!
Af Døbte vrimler Stad og Land
Men hvor er Troens Brand?
Hvad hjælper det, vi veed,
Du Døden for os leed,
Naar vi ei staa mod Satans Verk
I Troen frisk og sterk?
3 O Helligaand, for dig vor Skat
Vi græde Dag og Nat,
Kom, giv os samme Lys og Kraft,
Vor' Formænd før har havt.
Da Kristendommen stod
Som Træ med sterkest Rod
Og Krone fuld af Frugters Sne
Og Purpur! Lad det ske!
