My Inmost Heart Now Raises

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Georg Nigidius, c. 1588 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 Thro' 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. 5 God shall do my advising, Whose might with wisdom blends; May He bless rest and rising, My efforts, means, and ends! To God, forever blest, Will I with mine confide me, And willing let Him guide me As seemeth to Him best. 6 Amen I say, not fearing That God rejects my prayer; I doubt not He is hearing And granting me His care. Thus I go on my way And do not look behind me, But ply the task assigned me; God's help shall be my stay. Amen.

From God shall naught divide me

Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From God shall naught divide me, For He is true for aye, And on my path will guide me, Who else should often stray; His ever-bounteous hand By night and day is heedful, And gives me what is needful, Where'er I go or stand. 2 When man's help and affection Shall unavailing prove, God grants me His protection, And proves His power and love; He helps me in my need, Delivers me from evil, From sin, and death, and Devil, He is my Friend indeed. 3 If sorrow comes, He sent it, In Him I put my trust; I never shall repent it, For He is true and just, And endeth every ill; My life and soul I render, To God, my strong Defender, Let Him do as He will. 4 Whate'er shall be His pleasure Is surely best for me; He gave His dearest Treasure, That our weak hearts may see How good His will is toward us; And in His Son He gave us Whate'er could bless and save us; Praise Him who loveth thus! 5 O praise Him, for He never Forgets our daily need; O blest the hour whenever Our thoughts to Him can speed; Yea, all the time we spend Without Him is but wasted, Till we His joy have tasted, The joy that hath no end. 6 The world away is passing With all its pomp and pride, All we have been amassing No longer may abide: But in our earthly bed, When safely we are sleeping, God hath us in His keeping, To wake us from the dead. 7 Our soul shall never perish, But in yon paradise The joys of heaven shall cherish; Our body shall arise Pure, holy, new-born, free From every sin and evil; The tempting of the Devil We then no more shall see. 8 Then, though on earth I suffer Much trial, well I know I merit ways still rougher, And 'tis to heaven I go; For Christ I know and love, To Him I now am hasting, And gladness everlasting With Him my heart shall prove. 9 Such is His will that made us, The Father seeks our good; The Son hath grace to rid us, And saves us by His blood; His Spirit rules our ways, Through faith in us abiding, To heaven our footsteps guiding; To Him be thanks and praise!

Upon The Cross Down-Lying

Author: C. V. Pilcher; Hallgrim Petursson, 1614-1674 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Upon the cross down-lying, The Lord was crucified; In hate, kind love defying, Their task the soldiers plied: His limbs they stretched amain, The sacred hands outbending; His feet the nails were rending: Dread was that awful pain. 2 Toward Thy hands upgazing I whisper evermore, This agony amazing For me, for me He bore. He only thus could right My hands' misdeeds appalling; Cleansed by His blood down falling, Behold, my sins are white. 3 My feet too oft went straying Down luring paths of sin; Thy feet, close nailed, are paying This price God's grace to win. Henceforward let me cease To sing Thy praises never: Christ, guide my feet forever Into the way of peace. Topics: The Church Year Passion Used With Tune: THOMISSÖN

Let thankfulness recall How God this year has led us, How he has clothed and fed us, The great ones and the small. 3 To church and state he granted His peace in ev'ry place; His vineyard he has planted Among us by his grace. His ever-bounteous hand Prosperity has given And want and famine driven From this our native land. 4 O Father, Lord of heaven, For all your gifts of love Which you to us have given We lift our thanks above. In Jesus' name we here, To you our prayers addressing, Still ask you for your blessing: Grant us a joyful year.

For, lo, at God's right hand Is Christ in glory seated; With death and hell defeated As victor He doth stand. 2 Since Christ, our Lord, is living We never more shall die; To God the glory giving We rise to Him on high; Though chastened we may be, And to our graves be taken, We unto life shall waken And live eternally. 3 Christ is the sure foundation The builders did reject, But He for our salvation Is precious and elect, And made the cornerstone, On which the church is founded, This marvel now is sounded The work of God alone. 4 To Thee, O Christ, be glory, Who camest in His name! Thy people sing the story Thy praises to proclaim; We thank Thee and adore, O Christ, Our Lord and Savior, Thy grace and boundless favor Stand fast forevermore.

The power of sin no longer

Author: Thomas Kingo, 1634-1703; J. C. Aaberg Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: The power of sin no longer Within my heart shall reign; Faith must grow ever stronger And carnal lust be slain; For when I was baptized, The bonds of sin were severed And I by grace delivered To live for Jesus Christ. Would I accept the merit Of my baptismal grace And with my faith and spirit The Savior’s cross embrace, How great would be my blame Should I abide in evil And not renounce the devil In Christ my Savior’s name. It can bestow no treasure On me that Christ arose. If I will not with pleasure The power of death oppose, And with my heart embrace The Savior, who is risen And has from error’s prison Redeemed me by His grace. Lord Jesus, help me ever To fight “the old man” so That he shall not deliver Me to eternal woe, But that I here may die From sin and all offences And, by the blood that cleanses, Attain my home on high.

What vessel is that passing

Author: Thomas Kingo, 1634-1703; J. C. Aaberg Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: What vessel is that passing Across the boundless deep, On which the billows massing In foaming fury sweep? She seems in sore distress As though she soon would founder Upon the shoals around her And sink without redress. It is the storm-tossed vessel Of God’s own church on earth, With which the world doth wrestle, And send its fury forth, While Jesus oft appears As though He still were sleeping, With His disciples weeping And crying out in fears. But let the world with fury Against the church but rave, And spend its might to bury Her in the roaring wave! It only takes a word To hush the wild commotion And show the mighty ocean Her Lord is still aboard.

Now let us fear no more, No evil shall befall us, His children God doth call us; We may His help implore. 5 How richly Thou dost bless us, Thyself made poor and weak! What love beyond expression That sinners thus can seek! O Lord, for this shall we, To Thee our tribute bringing And glad hosannas singing, Thy grateful people be.

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 grant that I receive Thee This blessed Advent-tide. From stall and manger low Come Thou to dwell within me; Loud praises will I sing Thee And forth Thy glory show. Amen.

The King is very near; Away with grief and sorrow, For lo! your Help is here. Behold, in many a place-- O blessed consolation!-- We find Him, our Salvation, In His pure means of grace. 3 Arise, ye much afflicted! The King is now not far; Rejoice, ye long dejected! Here comes the Morning Star. The Lord will give you joy; Though troubles now distress you, With comfort He will bless you, E’en death He will destroy. 4 Now hear, ye bold transgressors, The King does well give heed To all that ye are doing, And to the life ye lead, Enthralled by sin and hell; Nothing in all Creation Escapes His observation, He marketh all things well. 5 Be righteous, ye His subjects, The King is just and true; Prepare for Him a high-way, Make all things straight and new. He means all for our good; Then let us bear the crosses Which He Himself imposes, In an undaunted mood. 6 Though war and conflagration Take all our goods away: The Lord is our salvation And heritage for aye. E'en though our loved ones die, Yet are they not forsaken, But from this world are taken To live with God on high. 7 Arise, ye poor and needy! The King provides for you; He comes with succor speedy, With mercy ever new. He who a beast did heed Lets not His children perish; All hopes that man may cherish He can fulfill indeed. 8 He nevermore forsaketh A child that feels the rod, Who Him his refuge maketh, And puts his trust in God. He is our sovereign King; E'en death itself shall never Those from their Master sever Who to His mercy cling. 9 Arise, ye faint and fearful! The King now comes with might; His heart hath long since loved us, He makes our darkness light. Now are our sorrow o'er; No wrath shall e'er befall us, Since God in grace doth call us His children evermore. 10 Haste then, with eager footsteps, To see your Sovereign there! He rides as King of Zion, Strong, glorious, meek, and fair. Draw near the Lord and give To Him your salutation, Who bringeth great salvation, And bids the sinner live. 11 The King in grace remembers His loved ones here below With gifts of royal treasures, Yea, doth Himself bestow Through His blest Word and grace. O King, arrayed in splendor, To Thee all praise we'll render Here and there face to face. 12 O rich the gifts Thou bring'st us, 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. Topics: Advent and Christmas
