My Inmost Heart Now Raises

Author: G. Nigidius, 1525-1588; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My inmost heart now raises In this fair morning hour A song of thankful praises To Thine almighty pow'r, O God, upon Thy throne. To honor and adore Thee, I bring my praise before Thee Through Christ, Thine only Son. 2 For Thou from me hast warded All perils of the night; From ev'ry harm hast guarded My soul till morning light. To Thee I humbly cry, O Savior, have compassion And pardon my transgression; Have mercy, Lord most high! 3 And shield me from all evil, O gracious God, this day, From sin, and from the devil, From shame and from dismay, From fire's consuming breath, From water's devastation, From need and consternation, From evil sudden death. 4 Let not Thine angel leave me While here on earth I stay Lest Satan's arts deceive me And lead my soul astray. Then keep Thine angel near At night and each new morrow Lest soul and body sorrow And falt'ring cost me dear. Used With Tune: AUS MEINES HERZENS GRUNDE

Arise, O Christian People

Author: Valentin Thilo, 1607-62; Arthur T. Russell, 1806-74 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Arise, O Christian people! Lyrics: 1 Arise, O Christian people! Prepare yourselves today; Prepare to greet the Savior, Who takes you sins away. To us by grace alone The truth and light were given; The promised Lord from heaven To all the world is shown. 2 Prepare the way before Him; Prepare for Him the best. Cast out what would offend Him, This great, this heav'nly guest. Make straight, make plain the way: The lowly valleys raising, The heights of pride abasing, His path, all even lay. 3 The humble heart and lowly God raises up on high; Beneath His feet in terror The haughty soul shall lie. The heart sincere and right, That heeds God's invitation And makes true preparation-- It is the Lord's delight. 4 Prepare my heart, Lord Jesus; Turn not from me aside, And help me to receive You This blessed Advent-tide. From stall and manger low Come now to dwell within me; I'll sing Your praises gladly And forth Your glory show. Scripture: Luke 3:4-5 Used With Tune: AUS MEINES HERZENS GRUNDE

The King is drawing nigh; Arise and hail with gladness The Ruler from on high. Ye Christians, hasten forth! Your praise and homage bring Him And glad hosannas sing Him; Naught else your love is worth. 2 Arise, ye drooping mourners! The King is very near; Away with grief and sorrow! For, lo! your Help is here. Behold, in many a place-- Oh, blessed consolation!-- You find Him, your Salvation, Within His means of grace. 3 Arise, ye much afflicted! The King is not afar. Rejoice, ye long dejected, Here comes the Morning Star! The Lord will give you joy; Tho' troubles now distress you, With comfort He will bless you, E’en death He will destroy. 4 Arise, ye poor and needy! The King provides for you; He comes with succor speedy, With mercy ever new. Receive your gracious King, The Giver of all blessing. Hail Him, His name confessing, And glad hosannas sing. 5 Be righteous, ye His subjects, The King is just and true; Prepare for Him a highway, Make all things straight and new. For, lo, He means it well; Then willing bear the crosses That He Himself imposes, Nor let your courage fail. 6 O rich the gifts Thou bringest, Thyself made poor and weak! O Love beyond expression, That thus can sinners seek! For this, O Lord, will we Our joyous tribute bring Thee And glad hosannas sing Thee, And ever grateful be. Amen.

Lo, God to Heav'n Ascendeth

Author: Gottfried W. Sacer; Frances E. Cox Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: Lo, God to Heav'n ascendeth! Lyrics: 1. Lo, God to Heav’n ascendeth! Throughout its regions vast With shouts triumphant blendeth the trumpet’s thrilling blast: Sing praise to Christ the Lord; sing praise with exultation, King of each heathen nation, the God of hosts adored! 2. With joy is Heav’n resounding Christ’s glad return to see; Behold the saints surrounding the Lord who set them free. Bright myriads, thronging, come; the cherub band rejoices, And loud seraphic voices all welcome Jesus home. 3. From cross to throne ascending, we follow Christ on high And know the pathway wending to mansions in the sky. Our Lord is gone before; yet here He will not leave us, And soon in Heav’n receive us and open wide the door. 4. Our place He is preparing; to Heav’n we, too, shall rise, With Him His glory sharing, be where our treasure lies. Bestir thyself, my soul! Where Jesus Christ has entered, There let Thy hope be centered; press onward toward the goal. 5. Let all our thoughts be winging to where Thou didst ascend, And let our hearts be singing: We seek Thee, Christ, our friend, Thee, God’s exalted Son, our life, and way to Heaven, To whom all power is given, our joy and hope and crown.

O enter, Lord, Thy temple

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O enter, Lord, Thy temple, Be Thou my spirit's Guest! Who at my birth didst give me A second birth more blest. Thou in the Godhead, Lord, Tho' here to dwell Thou deignest, Forever equal reignest, Art equally adored. 2 O enter, let me know Thee, And feel Thy power within, The power that breaks our fetters, And rescues us from sin; So wash and cleanse Thou me, That I may serve Thee truly, And render honor duly With perfect heart to Thee. 3 'Tis Thou, O Spirit, teachest The soul to pray aright; Thy songs have sweetest music, Thy pray'rs have wondrous might; Unheard they cannot fall, They pierce the highest heaven, Till He His help hath given Who surely helpeth all. 4 With holy zeal then fill us, To keep the faith still pure; And bless our lands and houses With wealth that may endure; And make that foe to flee Who in us with Thee striveth; For from our hearts he driveth Whate'er delighteth Thee. 5 Order our path in all things According to Thy mind, And when this life is over, And must be all resigned, O grant us then to die With calm and fearless spirit, And after death inherit Eternal life on high.
