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!

Jesus, Savior, wondrous mild, On Thy tender grace relying, We present this infant child, With Thy plain behest complying: Children shall to me be given; Theirs the kingdom is of heaven. 2. Nor should we Thy warning scorn, That by water and the Spirit Man must needs be newly born If his soul would fain inherit, As Thy kingdom's sacred treasure, Grace and peace in fullest measure. 3. So we hasten, Lord, to Thee, 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. 4. Now upon Thy heart we lay That which from the heart proceeded; Hear our sighings, Lord, we pray, Let our deep desires be heeded; Write the name that we have given In the book of life in heaven.

Therefore, Father, on life's road Graciously to heav'n direct me; Send to me Thy Holy Spirit That His gifts I may inherit. 2 Though alive, I'm dead in sin, Lost to all good things by nature. Holy Ghost, change me within, Make of me a new-born creature; For the flesh works ruination And can never gain salvation. 3 Drive away the gloomy night Of my heart's perverse reflection. Quench all thoughts that are not right; Hold my reason in subjection. Grant that I from Thee, with yearning, Wisdom always may be learning. 4 All desire and thoughts of mine From my youth are only evil. Save me by Thy pow'r divine From myself and from the devil; Give me strength in ample measure Both to will and do Thy pleasure. 5 Oh, create a heart in me That in Thee, my God believeth And o'er the iniquity Of my sins most truly grieveth. When dark hours of woe betide me, In the wounds of Jesus hide me. 6 As a branch upon a vine, In my blessed Lord implant 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 the devil may not grieve me. Grant me humbleness and gladness, Peace and patience in my sadness. 8 Help me speak what's right and good 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: Election; Epiphany 5 Used With Tune: LIEBSTER JESU, WIR SIND HIER

Dearest Jesus! we are here

Author: Benjamin Schmolke; E. Cronenwett; M. Loy, D. D. Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dearest Jesus! we are here, On Thy tender grace relying, See an infant child draw near, With Thy good behest complying: Children must to Christ be given, For they are the heirs of heaven. 2 This assurance, night and morn, In our ears re-echoes ever, Who are not of water born And the Spirit, pure are never, Ne'er can claim the Savior's merit, Ne'er His kingdom shall inherit. 3 Therefore hasten we to Thee, From our arms the pledge be taken, Show Thy mercy large and free, Be this infant not forsaken, May compassion, mild and tender, Thine this child forever render. 4 Wash it, Jesus! in Thy blood, From the sin-stain of its nature, Let it rise from out this flood Clothed in Thee, a newborn creature; May it, washed as Thou hast bidden, In thine innocence be hidden. 5 Turn the darkness into light, Change Thy wrath to gracious favor, Heal the serpent's cruel bite, By this wonder-working laver; Here let flow a Jordan river, And from leprosy deliver. 6 Shepherd! not Thy Lamb protect, Head! Thy member kindly make it, Way of Heaven! its path direct, Prince of Peace! to peace awake it, Vine! O may this branch, believing, Ever live, Thy life receiving! 7 Now into Thy heart we pour Prayers that from our hearts proceeded; May our sighings heavenward soar, May our warm desires be heeded; May the name which we have given Be recorded high in heaven.

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)
