On what has now been sown

Appears in 92 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On what has now been sown, Thy blessing, Lord, bestow; The pow'r is Thine alone To make it spring and grow: Do Thou the gracious harvest raise, And Thou alone shalt have the praise. 2 To Thee our wants are known, From Thee are all our powers, Accept what is Thine own, And pardon what is ours: Our praises, Lord, and prayers receive, And to Thy Word a blessing give. 3 O grant that each of us Who met before Thee here, May meet together thus When Thou and Thine appear, And follow Thee to heaven our home; E'en so, Amen, Lord Jesus, come!

Thou wilt send to me Thy Spirit, Thy good gifts I shall inherit. 3 Jesus, who for my salvation To the Father didst ascend, Hear my earnest supplication, Unto me Thy Spirit send: Let the Comforter for aye Bide with me, my strength and stay, That in faith I may not waver, Steadfast in the truth forever. 4 Holy Ghost, Strength of the simple, O make Thine abode with me, Let me ever be Thy temple; Cheerfully I welcome Thee. Do Thou purify my heart, Cast out all things that might part Me from those sweet joys of heaven Which by Thee to faith are given. 5 With Thy gifts my heart endowing, Make it new and clean and fair; Let it in true love be glowing, Living in Thy grace fore'er; Give me courage bold and good, Sanctify my flesh and blood, Let me, trusting in Christ's merit, Worship God in truth and spirit. 6 Thus myself I will deliver, Lord, to Thee; my soul shall strive Only after heaven forever, Until there I shall arrive Where the Father, and the Son, And Thyself in heaven's high throne, I shall praise and all Thy treasures In angelic, heavenly measures.

The mystery hidden from the eyes

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The mystery hidden from the eyes Of learned men and sages, God hath revealed us from the skies, In Scripture's holy pages, That He alone is King above All other gods whatever, Great, mighty, faithful, full of love, His people's Shield and Savior; One Essence, but three Persons. 2 As Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The righteous seed adore Him; So named, so praised, He is the boast Of all who bow before Him; He's Abraham's and Isaac's God, And Jacob's whom He knoweth, The Lord of hosts, who every good, Both night and day, bestoweth; Who only worketh wonders. 3 The Father hath the Son begot, First-born of every creature; The Son took our weak flesh, but not Our sinfulness of nature; Both from the Father and the Son Thy Holy Ghost proceedeth From all eternity; yet none In might and power exceedeth; All equal, co-eternal. 4 Be glad, my heart, thy Portion see, Thy priceless Pearl and Treasure! He is thy Friend, supply will He Thy needs with bounteous measure; He made thee in His image, was For thy offences smitten, With true faith fill thee, through His grace Doth all thy crosses sweeten With His dear word of promise. 5 Rise, then, to Him the Ever-blest, And learn to know Him rightly; Such knowledge can alone bring rest, And make thy soul burn brightly With the pure flame of holy love, Which cheers thy course to heaven; For God will show thee things above, Which here 'tis only given To hear of, and see darkly. 6 But woe to the ungodly race In willful blindness living, Rejecting God and His dear grace, Their heart to creatures giving. On them, alas! the hellish gates Ere long will close forever; For him whom God rejects and hates God will reject and sever From His eternal kingdom. 7 O Prince of might! Thy mercy show, Thou God of earth and heaven; To every sinner here below Thy saving grace be given! Bring back Thy sheep that go astray, And blinded eyes enlighten, And turn Thou everything away That wickedly might frighten Thine own, whose faith is feeble. 8 Grant this, that we, Thy people, may All reach the heavenly portals, And in Thy kingdom sing for aye 'Mid all the blest immortals: That Thou, O Lord, art King alone, Above all gods whatever, The Father, Son, and Spirit, One, Thy people's Shield and Savior, One Essence, but three Persons!

Lord God, we all to Thee give praise

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord God, we all to Thee give praise, Thank-offerings meet to Thee we raise, That Thou didst angel hosts create, Around Thy glorious throne to wait. 2 They glow with light and heavenly grace, And constantly behold Thy face; Obedience to Thy voice they yield, And are with godly wisdom filled. 3 They never rest nor sleep, as we; Their whole delight is but to be Forever near Thee, gracious Lord, Thy little flock to watch and guard. 4 The foul old Dragon and dread Foe With envy, hate, and wrath doth glow; It always is his aim and pride Thy Christian people to divide. 5 As he has blighted earth of old, He keeps e'en now his deathly hold, Chafes madly to annihilate All virtue, honor, Church, and State. 6 Therefore, no halt nor rest he knows; A roaring lion round he goes, Or lies in wait with baneful snare To drive the Christians to despair. 7 But watchful is the angel-band, That follows Christ on every hand, And guards Thy holy Christendom From harm that might from Satan come. 8 From Daniel's case this may be seen, When he sat in the lions' den, And likewise angels rescued Lot, That the ungodly harmed him not. 9 When the three were Hebrews were at last Into the fiery furnace cast, No power had fiercest flames to harm Against the rescuing angel's arm. 10 And thus our God, still at this day, From harm and many an evil way Keeps us by His dear angel-guard, Placed o'er us as our watch and ward. 11 For this, now and eternally, Our praise shall rise, O God, to Thee, Whom all the angel-hosts adore With joy now and forevermore. 12 We also pray Thee to defend By them unto the latter end Thy fold, that little flock, O Lord, That holds in honor Thy blessed Word.

These are Thy messengers; these dost Thou send, Help of the helpless ones, man to defend. 3 When by Thy word earth was first poised in space, When the far planets first sped on their race, When was completed the six days' employ, Then "all the sons of God shouted for joy." 4 Still let them succor us; still let them fight, Lord of angelic hosts! battling for right; Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour, We with the angels may bow and adore.

Had God not come, may Israel say

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Had God not come, may Israel say, Had God not come to aid us, Our enemies on that sad day Would surely have dismayed us; For we are but a handful small Held in contempt and scorn by all, All men rise up against us. 2 Their furious wrath, did God permit, Would quickly have consumed us, And in the deep and yawning pit With life and limb entombed us; Like men o'er whom dark waters roll, The streams had gone e'en o'er our soul, And mightily o'erwhelmed us. 3 Blest be the Lord, who from the pit Snatched us, when it was gaping; Our souls, like birds that break the net, To the blue skies escaping; The snare is broken--we are free! Our help is ever, Lord, in Thee, The God of earth and heaven. Topics: Reformation

If God were not upon our side

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 If God were not upon our side When round us foes are raging, Were not Himself our help and guide When bitter war they're waging, Were He not Israel's mighty shield, To whom their utmost craft must yield, We surely must have perished. 2 But now no human wit or might His chosen people frighteth, God sitteth in the highest height, And He their counsels blighteth; When craftiest snares and nets they lay, god goes to work another way, And makes a path before us. 3 Against our souls they rage and mock, Exciting great commotion: As billows meet with angry shock Out on the stormy ocean, So they our lives with fury seek; But God hath pity on the weak, And Him they have forgotten. 4 They call us heretics, and aye Their Christian name are flaunting; They seek to spill our blood, while they Their fear of God are vaunting. Ah, God! that precious name of Thine O'er many a wicked deed must shine, But Thou wilt once avenge it. 5 They open wide their ravenous jaws, And threaten to devour us, But thanks to God, who rules our cause, They shall not overpower us; Their snares He yet will bring to naught, And overthrow what they have taught; God is too mighty for them. 6 How richly He consoleth those Whom no one else befriendeth! The door of grace doth never close; Sense cannot comprehend it, How this may be, and deems all lost, When through this very cross a host Of champions God is raising. 7 Our foes, O God, are in Thy hand, Thou knowest their endeavor; But only give us strength to stand, And let us waver never, Though reason strives with faith, and still It fears to wholly trust Thy will, And sees not Thy salvation. 8 But heaven and earth, O Lord, are Thine, For Thou alone hast made them; Thy light let on Thy people shine, And in their sorrows aid them; Kindle our hearts to love and faith That shall be steadfast e'en to death, Howe'er the world may murmur!
