Blessed Jesus, at Thy word
Author: Tobias Clausnitzer; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 147 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at your word
we are gathered all to hear you.
Let our hearts and souls be stirred
now to seek and love and fear you.
By your gospel pure and holy,
teach us, Lord, to love you solely.
2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight
lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
till your Spirit breaks our night
with your beams of truth unclouded.
You alone to God can win us;
you must work all good within us.
3 Glorious Lord, yourself impart;
Light of Light, from God proceeding,
open lips and ears and heart;
help us by your Spirit's leading.
Hear the cry your church now raises;
Lord, accept our prayers and praises.

Blessed Jesus, We Are Here
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 70 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, we are here,
gladly your command obeying.
With this child we now draw near
in response to your own saying
that to you it shall be given
as a child and heir of heaven.
2 Your command is clear and plain.
and we would obey it duly:
"You must all be born again,
heart and life renewing truly,
born of water and the Spirit,
and my kingdom thus inherit."
3 This is why we come to you
in our arms this infant bearing;
Lord, to us your glory show;
Let this child, your mercy sharing,
in your arms be shielded ever,
yours on earth and yours forever.
4 Gracious Head, your member own;
Shepherd, take your lamb and feed it;
Prince of Peace, make here your throne;
way of life, to heaven lead it;
Precious vine, let nothing sever
from your side this branch forever.
5 Now into your heart we pour
prayers that from our hearts proceeded.
Our petitions heav'nward soar;
may our fond desires be heeded!
Write the name we now have given;
write it in the book of heaven!

If his soul would fain inherit,

In our arms this infant bearing;
Pledged to Thee O let it be,
All Thy tender mercies sharing;
Own it as Thy child forever;
Naught from Thee its soul shall sever.

God, from all eternity
Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God, from all eternity
In Thy Son Thou didst elect me;
Therefore, Father, graciously
In my course to heaven direct me;
Send to me Thy Holy Spirit,
That His gifts I may inherit.
2 Though alive, I'm dead in sin,
To all good things lost by nature;
Holy Ghost, change me within,
Make of me a new-born creature;
For the flesh deserves damnation,
And can never gain salvation.
3 Drive away the gloomy night
Of erroneous reflection;
Quench all thoughts that are not right,
Hold my reason in subjection;
Grant that I from Thee with yearning
Wisdom may be always learning.
4 All desires and thoughts of mine,
From my youth, are only evil;
Save me by Thy power divine
From myself and from the Devil;
Give me strength in ample measure,
Both to will and do Thy pleasure.
5 A clean heart create in me,
Which in Thee, O God, believeth,
And at the iniquity
Of my sins sincerely grieveth;
And when hours of woe betide me,
In the wounds of Jesus hide me.
6 As a branchlet in the vine,
In my blessèd Lord implant me;
Ever of my Head divine
To remain a member, grant me;
Ever of my Head divine
To remain a member, grant me;
O let Him, my Lord and Savior,
Be my Life and Love forever.
7 Faith, and hope, and charity,
Graciously, O Father, give me;
Be my Guardian constantly,
That no devil e'er may grieve me,
Grant me humbleness, and gladness,
Peace, and patience, in my sadness.
8 Help me speak what's right and just,
And keep silence on occasion;
Help me pray, Lord, as I must;
Help me bear my tribulation;
Help me die, and let my spirit
Everlasting life inherit. Topics: Sanctification

Me Voici, Seigneur, Sauveur
Author: Edmond Pidoux Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Me voici, Seigneur, Sauveur:
Je t’apporte ma prière
Je voudrais t’ouvrir mon coeur,
Et m’offrir à ta lumière,
Ecouter dans le silence
Ta parole, en ta présence.
2 Devant toi, seul juste et grand,
Je suis faible et misérable.
N’entre pas en jugement
Avec ton enfant coupable.
C’est dans ton amour immense
Que je mets mon espérance.
3 Car j’ai vu ta charité
Sur la croix, ô Dieu suprême!
En ton Fils, tu t’es donné,
Quand il s’est livré lui-même.
Ton pardon me justifie,
Et je trouve en lui la vie. Used With Tune: LIEBSTER JESU Text Sources: D'apres Rec. Confession d'Augsburg et E. Bersier, 1879

Christ, Th' Eternal Lamb of God
Author: Joachim J. Breithaupt; Johann C. Jacobi Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Christ th’eternal Lamb of God Lyrics: 1 Christ th’eternal Lamb of God,
Died for man, His rebel creature,
Paid the ransom with His blood,
To restore fall’n human nature:
Those that mourn their deep corruption
Share their Savior’s blest adoption.
2 This was loving like a God,
Who in wondrous condescension
Sent His only Son abroad,
To reveal His blest intention:
That the children of perdition
Should be heirs of God’s fruition.
3 Now that we are reconciled
By the Son’s humiliation;
Will not that triumphant Child
Save us by His exaltation?
We, for whom He bore such labor,
Are the darlings of His favor.
4 Now we live by faith in Christ,
Eying still His bright example,
Who for us was sacrificed,
And declares our hearts His temple.
Thus we sinners boast with pleasure
Our possession of this treasure.
5 Father, to Thy mercy seat
Be our best of thanks directed;
Lord, the rage of sin defeat,
Still assaulting Thine elected:
And for ever, by Thy Spirit,
Fit us to proclaim Christ’s merit Used With Tune: LIEBSTER JESU Text Sources: Geistriches Gesang-Buch (Halle, Germany: 1697)

Troparia (from the Canon of the Resurrection): Ode VII
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Then the earth in terror shook Lyrics:
Then the earth in terror shook,
And the sun grew dark in wonder;
Then the Temple veil was torn,
And the rocks were rent asunder;--
For the Just One, God most glorious,
Died upon the Cross victorious.
O Most High, Whom heaven adores,
Thou wast born to us in weakness,
Bore the scourging and the wounds,
Died upon the Cross in meekness;--
Now o'er death we rise victorious,
By the power of God most glorious.

All the best we have we owe thee.

Each his word from God repeating;
Till they came, who told the story
Of the Word, and showed His glory.

Those whose wisdom still directs us;
Praise Him for the Word made flesh,
For the Spirit who protects us.

In your Son you did elect me.
Therefore, Father, on life's road
Graciously to heav'n direct me;
Send to me your Holy Spirit

But the Spirit works salvation.

Hold my reason in subjection.
For your truth may I be yearning,

In my blessed Lord implant me;
Ever of my head divine
To remain a member grant me.
Oh, let him, my Lord and Savior,
Be my life and love forever!

Graciously, O Father, give me;
Be my guardian constantly
That the devil may not grieve me.
Grant me humbleness and gladness,
Peace and patience in my sadness.

And keep silence on occasion.
Help me pray, Lord, as I should;
Help me bear my tribulation.
Help me die and let my spirit
Everlasting life inherit. Topics: Commitment; Commitment Used With Tune: LIEBSTER JESU, WIR SIND HIER
