Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above

Author: Johann J. Schütz; Frances Cox Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 195 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God who reigns above, the God of all creation, the God of power, the God of love, the God of our salvation. My soul with comfort rich he fills, and every grief he gently stills: to God all praise and glory! 2 What God’s almighty power has made, in mercy he is keeping; by morning glow or evening shade his eye is never sleeping. And where he rules in kingly might, there all is just and all is right: to God all praise and glory! 3 We sought the Lord in our distress; O God, in mercy hear us. Our Savior saw our helplessness and came with peace to cheer us. For this we thank and praise the Lord, who is by one and all adored: to God all praise and glory! 4 Let all who name Christ’s holy name give God the praise and glory. Let all who know his power proclaim aloud the wondrous story. Cast every idol from its throne; the Lord is God, and he alone: to God all praise and glory!

Peter, 1832-1917; Bartholomäus Ringwaldt, 1532-c. 1600 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near When Jesus, God's anointed, In all his power shall appear As judge whom God appointed. Then fright shall banish idle mirth, And hungry flames shall ravage earth, As Scripture long has warned us. 2 The final trumpet then shall sound, And all the earth be shaken, And all who rest beneath the ground Shall from their sleep awaken. But all who live will in that hour, By God's almighty, boundless pow'r, Be changed at his commanding. 3 May Christ our intercessor be And, through his blood and merit, Read from his book that we are free With all who life inherit. Then we shall see him face to face, With all his saints in that blest place Which he has purchased for us. 4 O Jesus Christ, do not delay, But hasten our salvation; We often tremble on our way In fear and tribulation. Oh, hear and grant our fervent plea; Come, mighty judge, and set us free From death and ev'ry evil.

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!

Had God not come, may Israel say

Author: M. Luther 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; A remnant now, and handful small, Held in contempt and scorn by all, Who cruelly would oppress 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 Thanks be to God, who from the pit Snatched us, when it was gaping: Our souls, like birds that break the net, To the blue sky escaping; The snare is broken--we are free! The Lord our Helper praiséd be, The God of earth and heaven. Topics: Various Occasions Thanksgiving Day; Various Occassions Reformation Day Used With Tune: [Had God not come, may Israel say]

When My Last Hour Is Close at Hand

Author: N. Herman, c. 1480-1561; Unknown; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand, Lord Jesus Christ, attend me; Beside me then, O Savior, stand To comfort and defend me. Into Thy hands I will commend My soul at this my earthly end, And Thou wilt keep it safely. 2 My sins, dear Lord, disturb me sore, My conscience cannot slumber; But though as sands upon the shore My sins may be in number, I will not quail, but think of Thee; Thy death, Thy sorrow, borne for me, Thy suff'rings, shall uphold me. 3 I am a branch in Thee, the Vine, And hence the comfort borrow That Thou wilt surely keep me Thine Through fear and pain and sorrow; And when I die, I die to Thee, Thy precious death hath won for me The life that never endeth. 4 Since Thou the pow'r of death didst rend, In death Thou wilt not leave me; Since Thou didst into heaven ascend, No fear of death shall grieve me. For where Thou art, there shall I be That I may ever live with Thee; That is my hope when dying. 5 My spirit I commend to Thee And gladly hence betake me; Peaceful and calm my sleep shall be, No human voice can wake me. But Christ is with me through the strife, And He will bear me into life And open heav'n before me. Topics: Death and Burial; Trinity 16 Used With Tune: WENN MEIN STÜNDLEIN
