Campbell, 1814-68 Hymnal: ELH1996 #411 (1996) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Person Name: Adam of St. Victor, d. 1172 Lyrics: 1 Christians, come, in sweetest measures Sing of those who spread the treasures In the holy Gospels shrined; Blessèd tidings of salvation, Peace on earth their proclamation, Love from God to lost mankind. 2 See the rivers four that gladden With their streams the better Eden, Planted by our Savior dear. Christ the Fountain, these the waters, Drink, O Zion’s sons and daughters; Drink and find salvation here. 3 Here our souls, by Jesus sated, More and more shall be translated Earth’s temptations far above; Freed from sin’s abhorred dominion, Soaring on angelic pinion, They shall reach the Source of love. 4 Then shall thanks and praise ascending For Thy mercies without ending Rise to Thee, O Savior blest. With Thy gracious aid defend us, Let Thy guiding light attend us, Bring us to Thy place of rest. Topics: Heavenly Riches; Trinity 1 Languages: English Tune Title: ALLES IST AN GOTTES SEGEN

Lord, Hear the Voice of My Complaint

Agricola, 1494-1566 Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear the voice of my complaint, To Thee I now commend me, Let not my heart and hope grow faint, But deign Thy grace to send me. True faith from Thee, my God, I seek, The faith that loves Thee solely, Keeps me lowly, And prompt to aid the weak, And mark each word that Thou dost speak. 2 Yet more from Thee I dare to claim, Whose goodness is unbounded; Oh let me ne'er be put to shame, My hope be ne'er confounded; But e'en in death still find Thee true, And in that hour, else lonely, Trust Thee only, Not aught that I can do, For such false trust I sore should rue. 3 Oh grant that from my very heart My foes be all forgiven, Forgive my sins and heal their smart, And grant new life from heaven. Thy Word, that blessed food, bestow, Which best the soul canst nourish; Make it flourish Through all the storms of woe That else my faith might overthrow. 4 Then be the world my foe or friend, Keep me to her a stranger, Thy steadfast soldier to the end, Through pleasure and through danger. From Thee alone comes such high grace, No works of ours obtain it, Or can gain it; Our pride hath here no place, 'Tis Thy free promise we embrace. 5 Help me, for I am weak; I fight, Yet scarce can battle longer. I cling but to Thy grace and might, 'Tis Thou must make me stronger. When sore temptations are my lot, And tempests round me lower, Break their power; So, through deliv'rance wrought, I know that Thou forsak'st me not!

Jesus, into Thy possession I resign myself today; In Thy wounds I find relief From all sorrow, sin, and grief. 4 Help me as the morn is breaking, In the spirit to arise, So from careless sloth awaking, That, when o'er the aged skies Shall the Judgment Day appear, I may see it without fear. 5 Lead me, and forsake me never, Guide my wanderings by Thy Word; As Thou hast been, be Thou ever My Defense, my Refuge, Lord. Never safe except with Thee, Thou my faithful Guardian be. 6 O my God, I now commend me Wholly to Thy mighty hand; As the powers that Thou dost lend me Let me use at Thy command. Lord, my Shield, my Strength divine, Keep me with Thee, I am Thine. 7 From all evil one's dark power Let Thine angel guard my soul; Warning, guiding me each hour, All the devil's wiles control Till my final rest be come, And Thine angel bear me home.

Albinus, 1625-79 Lyrics: 1 All men living are but mortal, Yea, all flesh must fade as grass; Only through death's gloomy portal To eternal life we pass. This frail body here must perish Ere the heav'nly joys it cherish, Ere it gain the free reward For the ransomed of the Lord. 2 Therefore, when my God doth choose it, Willingly I'll yield my life Nor will grieve that I should lose it, For with sorrows it was rife. In my dear Redeemer's merit Peace hath found my troubled spirit, And in death my comfort this: Jesus' death my source of bliss. 3 Jesus for my sake descended My salvation to obtain: Death and hell for me are ended, Peace and hope are now my gain; Yea, with joy I leave earth's sadness For the home of heav'nly gladness Where I shall forever see God, the Holy Trinity. 4 There is joy beyond our telling, Where so many saints have gone; Thousands, thousands, there are dwelling, Worshiping before the throne, There the seraphim are shining, Evermore in chorus joining: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord! Triune God, for aye adored!" 5 Patriarchs of sacred story And the prophets there are found; The apostles, too, in glory On twelve seats are there enthroned All the saints that have ascended Age on age, through time extended, There in blissful concert sing Hallelujahs to their King. 6 O Jerusalem, how glorious Dost thou shine, thou city fair! Lo, I hear the tones victorious Ever sweetly sounding there. O the bliss that there surprises! Lo, the sun of morn now rises, And the breaking day I see That shall never end for me. 7 Yea, I see what here was told me, See that wondrous glory shine Feel the spotless robes enfold me, Know a golden crown is mine. Thus before the throne so glorious Now I stand a soul victorious, Gazing on that joy for aye That shall never pass away.

The very hairs, His Word declares, Upon my head He numbers. By night and day God is my Stay, He never sleeps nor slumbers. 3 Lord Jesus, this I ask of Thee, Deny me not this favor: When Satan sorely troubles me, Then do not let me waver. Keep watch and ward, O gracious Lord, Fulfil Thy faithful saying: Who doth believe He shall receive An answer to His praying. 4 When life's brief course on earth is run And I this world am leaving, Grant me to say: "Thy will be done," By faith to Thee still cleaving. My heav'nly Friend, I now commend My soul into Thy keeping, O'er sin and hell, And death as well, Through Thee the vict'ry reaping.

Can it be, O gracious Master, Thou dost deign for alms to sue, Saying by Thy poor and needy, "Give as I have giv'n to you"? 4 Yes, the sorrow and the suff'rings Which on ev'ry hand we see Channels are for gifts and off'rings Due by solemn right to Thee; Right of which we may not rob Thee, Debt we may not choose but pay Lest that face of love and pity Turn from us another day. 5 Lord of Glory, who hast bought us With Thy life-blood as the price, Never grudging for the lost ones That tremendous sacrifice. Give us faith to trust Thee boldly, Hope, to stay our souls on Thee; But, O best of all Thy graces, Give us Thine own charity.

Alexander1818-95 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed Where a mother laid her Baby In a manger for his bed. Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall; With the poor and mean and lowly, Lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 Jesus is our childhood's pattern; Day by day like us He grew; He was little, weak, and helpless; Tears and smiles like us He knew, And He feeleth for our sadness, And He shareth in our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love; For that Child, so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heav'n above; And he leads His children on To the place where He is gone. 5 Not in that poor lowly stable With the oxen standing by We shall see Him; but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high; Where, like stars, His children crowned, All in white shall wait around.
