O Lord, How Shall I Meet Thee

Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 47 hymnals First Line: O Lord, how shall I meet Thee Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how shall I meet Thee, How welcome Thee aright? Thy people long to greet Thee, My Hope, my heart’s Delight! Oh, kindle, Lord most holy Thy lamp within my breast To do in spirit lowly All that may please Thee best. 2 Thy Zion strews before Thee Green boughs and fairest palms, And I, too, will adore Thee With joyous songs and psalms. My heart shall bloom forever For Thee with praises new And from Thy name shall never Withhold the honor due. 3 I lay in fetters, groaning, Thou com’st to set me free; I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou com’st to honor me; A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail or leave me As earthly riches fly. 4 Love caused Thy incarnation, Love brought Thee down to me; Thy thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. O love beyond all telling, That led Thee to embrace, In love all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race! 5 Rejoice, then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o’er joys departed And tremble at your doom. Despair not, He is near you, Yea, standing at the door. Who best can help and cheer you, And bids you weep no more. 6 Ye need not toil nor languish Nor ponder day and night How in the midst of anguish Ye draw Him by your might. He comes, He comes all willing, Moved by His love alone, Your woes and troubles stilling; For all to Him are known. 7 Sin's debt, that fearful burden, Let not your souls distress; Your guilt the Lord will pardon And cover by His grace. He comes, for men procuring The peace of sin forgiven, For all God's sons securing Their heritage in heaven. 8 What though the foes by raging, Heed not their craft and spite; Your Lord, the battle waging, Will scatter all their might. He comes, a King most glorious, And all His earthly foes In vain His course victorious Endeavor to oppose. 9 He comes to judge the nations, A terror to His foes, A Light of consolations And blessèd Hope to those Who love the Lord's appearing. O glorious Sun, now come, Send forth Thy beams so cheering, And guide us safely home! Amen.

O Jesus, King of Glory

Author: Martin Behm; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Jesus, king of glory, Both David’s Lord and Son! Thy realm endures forever, In Heav’n is fixed Thy throne. Help that in earth’s dominions, Throughout from pole to pole, Thy reign may spread salvation, To each benighted soul. 2. The Eastern sages, bringing Their tribute gifts to Thee, Bear witness to Thy kingdom And humbly bow the knee. To Thee the star is pointing, And the prophetic Word; Hence joyously we hail Thee: Our Savior and our Lord! 3. Thou art a mighty Monarch, As by Thy Word is told, Yet carest Thou but little For earthly goods or gold; On no proud steed Thou ridest, Thou wear’st no jeweled crown Nor dwell’st in lordly castle, But bearest scoff and frown. 4. Yet art Thou decked with beauty, With rays of glorious light; Thy works proclaim Thy goodness, And all Thy ways are right. Vouchsafe to shield Thy people With Thine almighty arm That they may dwell in safety From those who mean them harm. 5. Ah, look on me with pity Though I am weak and poor; Admit me to Thy kingdom To dwell there, blest and sure. I pray Thee, guide and keep me Safe from my bitter foes, From sin and death and Satan; Free me from all my woes. 6. And bid Thy Word within me Shine as the fairest star; Keep sin and all false doctrine Forever from me far. Help me confess Thee truly And with Thy Christendom Here own Thee king and Savior And in the world to come.

Up! pray, and watch, and wrestle-- At midnight comes the cry. 2 The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near; Go meet Him as He cometh, With hallelujahs clear. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up,up, ye heirs of glory; The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Your cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign for ever, When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold, In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold! 4 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth’s redemption, That brings us unto Thee! Amen.

The heavens declare Thy glory

Author: T. R. Birks, 1874 Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare Thy glory, The firmament Thy power; Day unto day the story Repeats from hour to hour; Night unto night replying, Proclaims in every land, O Lord, with voice undying, The wonders of Thy hand. 2 The sun with royal splendor Goes forth to chant Thy praise; And moonbeams soft and tender Their gentler anthem raise; O’er every tribe and nation That music strange is poured; The song of all creation, To Thee, creation’s Lord. 3 How perfect, just, and holy The precepts Thou hast given; Still making wise the lowly, They lift the thoughts to heaven; How pure, how soul-restoring Thy gospel’s heavenly ray, A brighter radiance pouring Than noon of brightest day! 4 Thy statutes, Lord, with gladness Rejoice the humble heart; And guilty fear and sadness From contrite souls depart: Thy word hath richer treasure Than dwells within the mine, And sweetness beyond measure Attends Thy voice divine. 5 O who can make confession Of every secret sin; Or keep from all transgression His spirit pure within? But let me never boldly From Thy commands depart, Or render to Thee coldly The service of my heart. 6 All heaven on high rejoices To do its Maker’s will; The stars with solemn voices Resound Thy praises still; So let my whole behavior, Thoughts, words, and actions be, O Lord, my Strength, my Savior, One ceaseless song to Thee.

O come, Eternal Spirit

Author: Rev. Carl Johann Philip Spitta, D. D.; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O come, Eternal Spirit Of truth, diffuse Thou light! Shine in our soul and banish All blindness from our sight! Thy holy fire pour o'er us, Touch heart and lip, that we With faithful, good confession Acknowledge Christ and Thee. 2 O Thou, whom our great Monarch Hath promised unto us, Blest Comforter, come to us, And make us chivalrous. In these times of indiff'rence And dearth of faith, O come! And ply the keen-edged weapons Of early Christendom. 3 Rank unbelief is rampant, Mad folly storms the sky, Hence Thou Thyself must arm us With weapons from on high: With wisdom, grace, endurance, And faith robust, and then Entirely banish from us All false respect for men. 4 These times call for decision, Though foes 'gainst us inveigh; For open, bold confession, Whate'er the world may say: In spite of all the glitter Of gilded heathendom, To praise, defend, and cherish Christ's Gospel till He come. 5 Afar, o'er heathen darkness, The powerful Word breaks day; They cast, with Satan's shackles, Their household-gods away; From every side they hasten Into the Savior's fold, And oh! shall it close to us As to the lost of old! 6 Alas! we truly merit Such judgment as our lot; To us the light is shining, But we receive it not! O grant us greater fervor T' impolre Thy grace, dear Lord, That from us be not taken The light of Thy blest Word. 7 Pour, Spirit, o'er all nations A Pentecostal shower, The Word of testimony Accompany with power, The heart and lips may open— The nations' and our own— And we, through joy and sorrow, Make Christ's salvation known.
