Redeemed, Restored, Forgiven

Author: Henry W. Baker Hymnal: LH1941 #32 (1941) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Redeemed, restored, forgiven, Thro' Jesus’ precious blood, Heirs of His home in heaven, Oh, praise our pard'ning God! Praise Him in tuneful measures Who gave His Son to die; Praise Him whose sev'nfold treasures Enrich and sanctify. 2 Once on the dreary mountain We wandered far and wide, Far from the cleansing fountain, Far from the pierced side; But Jesus sought and found us And washed our guilt away; With cords of love He bound us To be His own for aye. 3 Dear Master, Thine the glory Of each recovered soul. Ah! who can tell the story Of love that made us whole? Not ours, not ours the merit; Be Thine alone the praise, And ours a thankful spirit To serve Thee all our days. 4 Now keep us, Holy Savior, In Thy true love and fear And grant us of Thy favor The grace to persevere Till, in Thy new creation, Earth’s time-long travail o’er, We find our full salvation, And praise Thee evermore. Amen. Topics: Adoration Worship and Praise Scripture: Luke 15:24 Languages: English Tune Title: ICH DANK' DIR, LIEBER HERRE

Author: Sarah Findlater; Laurentius Laurenti Hymnal: LH1941 #72 (1941) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, believers, And let your lights appear! The evening is advancing, And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He draweth nigh; Up, pray and watch and wrestle! At midnight comes the cry. 2 The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near; Go meet Him as He cometh, With hallelujahs clear. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up, ye heirs of glory; The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Your cross and suff'rings bore, Shall live and reign forever When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold; In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold! 4 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Desire of nations, O'er this benighted sphere. With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth’s redemption, That brings us unto Thee! Amen.

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Hymnal: LH1941 #376 (1941) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood From Thy riven side which flowed Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and pow'r. 2 Not the labors of my hands Can fulfil Thy Law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly-- Wash me, Savior, or I die! 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyelids close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee!

Rise! To Arms! With Prayer Employ You

Author: Wilhelm E. Arends; John M. Sloan Hymnal: LH1941 #444 (1941) Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.4.4.8 Lyrics: 1 Rise! To arms! With prayer employ you, O Christians, lest the Foe destroy you; For Satan has designed your fall. Wield God's Word, a weapon glorious! Against each foe you'll be victorious; Our God will set you o'er them all. Is Satan strong and fell? Here is Immanuel. Sing hosanna! The strong ones yield, With Christ our Shield, And we as conqu'ror's hold the field. 2 Cast afar this world's vain pleasures, Aye, boldly fight for heav'nly treasures, And steadfast be in Jesus' might. He will help, whate'er betide you, And naught will harm with Christ beside you; By faith you'll conquer in the fight. Then shame, thou weary soul! Look forward to the goal: There joy waits thee. The race, then, run; The combat done, Thy crown of glory will be won. 3 Wisely fight, for time is fleeting; The hours of grace are fast retreating; Short, short, is this our earthly way. Then the trump the dead is waking And sinners all with fear are quaking, With joy the saints will greet that Day. Bless God, our triumph's sure, Tho' long we did endure Scorn and trial. Thou, Son of God, To Thine abode Wilt lead the way Thyself hast trod. 4 Jesus, all Thy children cherish And keep them that they never perish Whom Thou hast purchased with Thy blood. Let new life to us be given That we may look to Thee in heaven Whenever fearful is our mood. Thy spirit on us pour That we may love Thee more-- Hearts o'erflowing; And then will we Be true to Thee In death and life eternally. Amen.

Rise, My Soul, to Watch and Pray

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann B. Freystein Hymnal: LH1941 #446 (1941) Meter: 7.6.7.6.4.4.6.6 Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, to watch and pray, From thy sleep awaken; Be not by the evil day Unawares o'ertaken. For the Foe, Well we know, Oft his harvest reapeth While the Christian sleepeth. 2 Watch against the devil's snares Lest asleep he find thee; For indeed no pains he spares To deceive and blind thee. Satan's prey Oft are they Who secure are sleeping And no watch are keeping. 3 Watch! Let not the wicked world With its pow'r defeat thee. Watch lest with her pomp unfurled She betray and cheat thee. Watch and see Lest there be Faithless friends to charm thee, Who but seek to harm thee. 4 Watch against thyself, my soul, Lest with grace thou trifle; Let not self thy tho'ts control Nor God's mercy stifle. Pride and sin Lurk within All thy hopes to scatter; Heed not when they flatter. 5 But while watching, also pray To the Lord unceasing. He will free thee, be thy Stay, Strength and faith increasing. O Lord, bless In distress And let nothing swerve me From the will to serve Thee. 6 Therefore let us watch and pray, Knowing He will hear us As we see from day to day Dangers ever near us, And the end Doth impend-- Our redemption neareth When the Lord appeareth. Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) Christian Warfare Scripture: Matthew 26:41 Languages: English Tune Title: STRAF MICH NICHT
