Our God, to Whom We Turn
Author: Edward Grubb Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Matching Instances: 7 Lyrics: 1. Our God, to whom we turn
When weary with illusion,
Whose stars serenely burn
Above this earth’s confusion,
Thine is the mighty plan,
The steadfast order sure
In which the world began,
Endures, and will endure.
2. Thou art Thyself the truth;
Though we who fain would find Thee,
Have tried, with thoughts uncouth,
In feeble words to bind Thee,
It is because Thou art
We’re driven to the quest;
Till truth from falsehood part,
Our souls can find no rest.
3. All beauty speaks of Thee:
The mountains and the rivers,
The line of lifted sea,
Where spreading moonlight quivers,
The deep-toned organ blast
That rolls through arches dim,
Hints of the music vast
Of Thine eternal hymn.
4. Wherever goodness lurks
We catch Thy tones appealing;
Where man for justice works
Thou art Thyself revealing;
The blood of man, for man
On friendship’s altar spilt,
Betrays the mystic plan
On which Thy house is built.
5. Thou hidden fount of love,
Of peace, and truth, and beauty,
Inspire us from above
With joy and strength for duty.
May Thy fresh light arise
Within each clouded heart,
And give us open eyes
To see Thou as Thou art. Used With Tune: STEADFAST

O God, Our Faithful God
Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 61 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O God, our faithful God,
O fountain ever flowing,
Without whom nothing is,
All perfect gifts bestowing,
Grant us a faithful life,
And give us, Lord, within,
Commitment free from strife,
A soul unhurt by sin.
2 God, grant us strength to do
With ready heart and willing,
Whatever You command,
Our calling here fulfilling;
And do it when we ought,
With zeal and joyfulness;
And bless the work we’ve wrought,
For You must give success.
3 If dangers gather round,
Still keep us calm and fearless;
Help us to bear the cross
When life is bleek and cheerless,
To overcome our foes
With words and actions kind;
O God, Your will disclose,
Your counsel let us find.

Why do the heathen rage?
Author: B. H. Kennedy Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Why do the heathen rage?
What are the nations dreaming?
In vain against the Lord
And His Anointed scheming,
Kings of the earth arise,
And leaguéd rulers say:
"Come, let us break their bands,
And cast their cords away."
2 He who is throned in heaven
Derides their preparation;
The Lord upon them pours
His scornful indignation:
Soon shall His voice of wrath
Their souls with terror thrill
"Yet I have set my King
On Zion's holy hill."--
3 Now will I cry aloud
And tell the Lord's great token:
"Thou art My Son," He saith:
To me the word was spoken:
"Yea, Thee have I this day
Begotten: ask of Me,
And Thine the heathen, Thine
Earth's utmost parts shall be:
4 Beneath Thine iron rod
Thy foemen shall be shattered,
As by the potter's hand
The broken shreds lie scattered."
Be wise, then, O ye kings,
Ye earthly judges, hear;
Serve ye the Lord with awe,
Rejoice with trembling fear.
5 Bow down and kiss the Son,
Lest, if His wrath awaken,
Ye fail and fade away,
For evermore forsaken.
Soon may His anger burn,
A lightly kindled flame;
Then blessed are all they
That trust His holy name. Topics: The Church Year Sunday after New Year; The Church Year Sunday after New Year; Afflcition Used With Tune: [Why do the heathen rage?]

Rise from Your Graves, Ye Dead
Author: Johann F. Starck, 1680-1756 Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Rise from your graves, ye dead! Lyrics: 1. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Thus shall the call be sounded,
Which on the latter day
shall find us all astounded;
Which to the faithful flock
shall promise rare delight,
And fill the trembling hearts
of sinners with affright.
2. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Your sleep at last is over,
Ye blessèd of the Lord,
no more without shall hover.
The garments are prepared,
the crowns for you are stored,
Enter into the joy
and comfort of your Lord!
3. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Come from your earthly cover;
Ye wicked all the pangs of
hell shall now discover.
Ye once rejected Me,
I hold you nothing worth;
Wailing and gnashing teeth
shall be your lot henceforth.
4. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Lo, here are bone and tissue
Flesh, sinew, hands, eye, foot!
from earth and air they issue.
That wherewith you have served
the Lord is glorified,
That wherewith you have sinned,
consumed and cast aside.
5. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Ye faithful now shall glory
In halos like the sun,
undimmed, untransitory.
Immortal bodies with
immortal souls shall blend,
Ye shall enjoy the rest
of saints that hath no end. Used With Tune: STEADFAST Text Sources: This translation appeared in John Frederick Stark's Daily Hand-Book (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: The Kohler Publishing Company, 1855), pages 328-9

O Gud, du fromme Gud
Author: Birg. Kaas; J. Heermann Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O Gud, du fromme Gud,
Du Kilde til al Gave!
Af dig er alt, hvad er,
Af dig vi al ting have.
Mit Legem Helbred giv,
Og giv mig dertil med
En ubesmittet Sjæl,
Og god Samvittighed!
2 Giv, at jeg gjør med Flid
Alt, hvad jeg bør at gjøre,
Hvortil mig dine Bud
Udi mit Kald kan føre;
Giv, at jeg findes tro,
Gjør altid Ret og Skjel,
Og havd jeg gjør, saa giv,
At det maa lykkes vel!
3 Hjælp, at jeg taler saa,
At jeg det kan forsvare,
Lad intet syndigt Ord
Mig ud af Munden fare;
Lad mig min Fiende Godt
Af ganske Hjerte te,
Lær mig, som raadvild er,
De bedste Raad at se!
4 Lad mig og med enhver
I Fred og Venskab blive,
Og unde alle vel;
Vil du mig noget give
Af Rigdom, Penge, Gods,
Saa giv mig og derved,
At intet blandes maa
Med Uretfærdighed!
5 Skal jeg i Verden her
Maaske end leve længe,
Med mange sure Trin
Til Alderdom fremtrænge,
Saa giv Taalmodighed,
Vend Synd og Skam kun af,
At med et ærligt Navn
Jeg lægges i min Grav!
6 Lad mig paa Kristi Død
I Naade herfra skilles,
Tag Sjælen op til dig,
I Glædens Sol at stilles,
Og Legemet et Rum
Hos fromme Kristne und,
At det maa hvile stilt
Hos dem til sidste Stund!
7 Naar du de Døde skal
Paa Dommedag opvække,
Saa vilde du din Haand
Og til min Grav udrekke,
Din Røst mig hore lad,
Opvæk mit Legem med,
Og før det herliggjort
Til de Udvaltes Sted!
