Christ is Made the Sure Foundation

Author: J. M. Neale Hymnal: Concordia #97 (1918) Topics: Church Festivals Reformation Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure foundation, Christ the head and cornerstone, Chosen of the Lord, and precious, Binding all the Church in one; Holy Zion's help for ever, And her confidence alone. 2 All that dedicated city, Dearly loved of God on high, In exultant jubilation Pours perpetual melody; God the One in Thee adoring In glad hymns eternally. 3 To this temple, where we call Thee, Come, O Lord of hosts, today: With Thy wonted loving-kindness, Hear Thy people as they pray; And Thy fullest benediction Shed within its walls alway. 4 Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants What they ask of Thee to gain, What they gain from Thee for ever With the blessed to retain, And hereafter in Thy glory Evermore with Thee to reign.

Lord, not to us, we claim it not

Author: Richard Mant Hymnal: Church Book #273 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church Festival of the Reformation Lyrics: 1 Lord, not to us, we claim it not, To Thee be all the praise, That no profane and sinful spot Our mother church o'erlays: That, as in her primeval days, From intermediate stain Cleansed by Thy Word, to Thee she pays Unsullied rites again. 2 To no material form confined, A spirit pure alone, We serve Thee not in likeness shrined Of bread, or wood, or stone: Nor saint nor angel at Thy throne We crave to intercede, With Thee for our misdeeds atone, With Thee for mercy plead. 3 But far remote we seek Thy face, Hid in Thy heavenly seat: And, sole Transmitter of Thy grace, The Saviour's Name entreat: And thus to Thee with honor meet We hymn the grateful lay, Whose Word recalled our erring feet, And warned us how to pray. 4 To Thee, adored in ages past, Eternal One and Three, To Thee, whose worship aye shall last, In trinal Unity: To Thee, O Father; Son, to Thee; And Thee, O Spirit blest, By saints on earth all glory be With saints in heaven addrest!

A mighty Fortress is our God

Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: Church Book #274 (1890) Topics: The Church Festival of the Reformation Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A trusty Shield and Weapon; He helps us free from every need That hath us now o'ertaken. The old bitter foe Means us deadly woe: Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight, On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye, Who is this? Jesus Christ it is, Of Sabaoth Lord, And there's none other God, He holds the field for ever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All watching to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They cannot overpower us. This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, He can harm us none, He's judged, the deed is done, One little word o'erthrows him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain, And not a thank have for it, He's by our side upon the plain, With His good gifts and Spirit, Take thy then our life, Goods, fame, child and wife; When their worst is done, They yet have nothing won, The Kingdom ours remaineth.

O Little Town of Bethlehem

O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth; And praises sing To God our King, And peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still, The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS

Not from sorrow, pain, or care, Freedom dare I claim; This alone shall be my prayer: Glorify Thy name. 2 Can a child presume to choose Where or how to live? Can a Father’s love refuse All the best to give? More Thou givest ev'ry day Than the best can claim; Nor withholdest aught that may Glorify Thy name. 3 If in mercy Thou wilt spare Joys that yet are mine; If on life, serene and fair, Brighter rays may shine, Let my glad heart, while it sings, Thee in all proclaim; And whate’er the future brings, Glorify Thy name. 4 If Thou callest to the cross, And its shadow come, Turning all my gain to loss, Shrouding heart and home: Let me think how Thy dear Son To His glory came, And in deepest woe pray on, "Glorify Thy name."

Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine. 2 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered Was all for sinner's gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Savior! ’Tis I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favor, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace. 3 What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this, Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end?

Alas! and Did my Savior Bleed?

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Concordia #76 (1918) Topics: Church Festivals Passion and Easter First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sov'reign die, Would He devote that sacred head For sinners such as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, And love beyond degree. 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut His glories in, When God, the mighty Maker, died For man, the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do.
