O Lord, Thou Living Bread From Heaven

Author: H. Brueckner Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. O Lord, Thou living Bread from heaven, With hungry soul I come to Thee; Thy flesh and blood, here freely given, Are meat and drink indeed for me. Lord Jesus, let this precious food Redound to my eternal good. 2. May I at Thy communion table Be welcomed as a worthy guest; Do Thou by grace my soul enable Devoutly, Lord, in Thee to rest. Lord Jesus, let this precious food Redound to my eternal good. 3. Unworthy as a sinful being, I turn to Thee, my Shepherd true; Thy straying lamb in danger seeing, Thou wilt Thy love for me renew. Lord Jesus, let this precious food Redound to my eternal good. 4. As deadly poison help me banish All wicked tho'ts that lurk within; Bid ev'ry evil passion vanish, And let me, Lord, be dead to sin. Lord Jesus, let this precious food Redound to my eternal good. 5 The curse of sin most deeply feeling, I come to Thee for peace and rest; To me Thy grace and mercy sealing, O make me, Lord, Thy worthy guest. Lord Jesus, let this precious food Redound to my eternal good. 6 This Supper may in truth be rated As Thy last will and testament; It shows Thy love still unabated, Though every day profusely spent. Lord Jesus, let this precious food Redound to my eternal good. 7 It is the best of all good treasure, Of faith and hope the surest base, The fount of purest joy and pleasure, The pledge of God's unfathomed grace. Lord Jesus, let this precious food Redound to my eternal good. 8 This sacred feast brings wealth of rapture To all who are contrite of heart, And those whom Satan fain would capture Are rescued when from life they part. Lord Jesus, let this precious food Redound to my eternal good. Topics: The Means of Grace Holy Communion Used With Tune: RUDOSTADT

I know full well death must befall me

Author: Solomon Franck; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I know full well death must befall me; I know not when, or where, or how: It may be that my God will call me To-day, to-morrow, even now; Ere yet this present hour is fled, This living body may be dead. 2 I know, --God hath this knowledge given-- To me death is not death, indeed; To me death is a gate to heaven, A bound and end of all my need, A gentle evening, peaceful, blest, When I have passed from toil to rest. 3 Lord, let my soul, with unfeigned gladness, In living faith Thy call await To leave its cave of sin and sadness, And this vain world for heaven's estate; O keep my heart prepared alway, To lay aside this mortal clay. 4 Lord, grant that, by contrition riven, My heart I daily offer Thee, And let me close this life for heaven, Sealed by Thy death and agony: O let Thy death, with passion rife, My comfort be, my balm and life. 5 Lord, daily let me die then, ever; And at the last stand Thou by me, That death may not from Thee sever, But bring me nearer unto Thee! Then welcome my last hour shall be, When, where, and how it pleaseth Thee.

O veil them over With merits of Thy dying Son! I here Thy richest grace discover, Here find I peace, and here alone; And for His sake, when flesh shall fail, O God, with me may it be well! 3 His bleeding wounds give me assurance That Thy free mercy will abide; Here strength I find for death's endurance, And hope for all I need beside: For Jesus' sake, when flesh shall fail, O God, with me may it be well! 4 Naught shall my soul from Jesus sever, Nor life, nor death; things high nor low: I take Him as my Lord forever, My future trust, as He is now; And for His sake, when flesh shall fail, O God, with me may it be well.

When Sinners See Their Lost Condition

Author: M. B. Landstad, 1802-80; O. H. Smeby, 1851-1929 Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When sinners see their lost condition And feel the pressing load of sin, And Jesus cometh on His mission To heal the sin-sick heart within, All grief must flee before His grace, And joy divine will take its place. 2 When Jesus enters meek and lowly To fill the home with sweetest peace; When hearts have felt His blessing holy And found from sin complete release; Then light and calm within shall reign And hearts divided love again. 3 When Jesus enters land and nation, And moves the people with His love; When, yielding to His kind persuasion, Our hearts His truth and blessing prove, Then shall our life on earth be blest, The peace of God on us shall rest. 4 When Jesus comes, O blessed story! He works a change in heart and life; God's kingdom comes with pow'r and glory To young and old, to man and wife; Through Sacrament and living Word Faith, love, and hope are now conferred. 5 Then stilled are cries and lamentation, Then loosed is Satan's ev'ry band, In death is hope and consolation, The soul is safe in Jesus' hand: When we shall walk through death's dark vale, His rod and staff shall never fail. 6 Oh may He soon to ev'ry nation Find entrance where He is unknown, With life and light and full salvation, That heathendom may be o'erthrown, And healing to the hearts may come In heathen land and Christian home! 7 Behold, He at the door is knocking! Hark, how He pleads our souls to win! Who hears His voice--the door unlocking-- To sup with him He enters in. How blest the day, my soul, how blest When Jesus comes to be thy guest. 8 Behold, He at the door is calling, O heed, my soul, what He doth say; Deny Him not--O thought appalling-- And turn Him hot from thee away. My soul gives answer deep within: Thou blessed of the Lord, come in. 9 Come Thou who spreadest joy and gladness, Forever bide with me and mine, And bring to those who sit in sadness And gloom of death Thy light divine. A voice comes from my soul within: Thou blessed of the Lord, come in! Topics: Rejoice; Advent 4 Used With Tune: WER WEISS, WIE NAHE

O would, my God, that I could praise Thee

Author: J. Mentzer Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O would, my God, that I could praise Thee With thousand tongues, by day and night! How many a song my lips should raise Thee, Who order'st all things here aright! My thankful heart would ever be Telling what God hath done for me. 2 O all ye powers that He implanted, Arise, keep silence thus no more, Put forth the strength that He hath granted, Your noblest work is to adore; O soul and body, make ye meet With heartfelt praise your Lord to greet. 3 Ye forest leaves so green and tender, That dance for joy in summer air; Ye meadow-grasses bright and slender, Ye flowers so wondrous sweet and fair; Ye live to show His praise alone, Help me to make His glory known. 4 O all things that have breath and motion; That throng with life, earth, sea, and sky, Now join me in my heart's devotion, Help me to raise His praises high. My utmost powers can ne'er aright Declare the wonders of His might. 5 But I will tell, while I am living, His goodness forth with every breath, And greet each morning with thanksgiving, Until my heart is still in death. Nay, when at last my lips grow cold, His praise shall in my sighs be told. O Father, deign Thou, I beseech Thee, To listen to my earthly lays; A nobler strain in heaven shall reach Thee, When I with angels hymn Thy praise, And learn amid their choirs to sing Loud Hallelujahs to my King.
