O bleeding Head, and wounded

Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: HELC1886 #11 (1886) Lyrics: 1 O bleeding Head, and wounded, and full of pain and scorn, In mockery surrounded with cruel crown of thorn! O Head! once crowned with glory and heavenly majesty, but now despised and gory; yet here I welcome Thee! 2 Men spit upon and jeer Thee, Thou noble countenance, Though mighty worlds shall fear Thee, And flee before Thy glance! How art Thou pale with anguish, With sore abuse and scorn! How does Thy visage languish Which once was bright as morn! 3 Now from Thy cheeks has vanished Their color once so fair; From Thy red lips is banished The splendor that was there. Pale Death with cruel rigor Bereaveth Thee of life; Thus loses Thou Thy vigor And strength in this sad strife. 4 My burden, in Thy passion, Lord, Thou hast borne for me, For it was my transgression, Which brought this woe on Thee. I cast me down before Thee, Wrath were my rightful lot, Have mercy, I implore Thee, Redeemer, spurn me not! 5 My Shepherd, now receive me! My Guardian, own me Thine! Great blessings Thou didst give me, O Source of gifts divine! Thy lips have often fed me With milk and sweetest food; Thy Spirit oft has led me To stores of heavenly good. 6 O Saviour, do not chide me! From Thee I will not part; Here I will stand beside Thee, When breaks Thy loving heart; When soul and body languish In death's last fatal grasp, Then, in Thy deepest anguish, Thee in mine arms I’ll clasp. 7 Naught ever so much blesses, So much rejoices me, As when in Thy distresses I take a part with Thee. Ah, well for me, if lying Here at Thy feet, my Life, I too with Thee were dying, And thus might end my strife! 8 Thanks from my heart I offer Thee, Jesus, dearest Friend, For all that Thou didst suffer; My good didst Thou intend. Ah! grant that I may ever To Thy truth faithful be; When soul and body sever, May I be found in Thee! 9 When hence I must betake me, Lord, do not Thou depart! O nevermore forsake me, When death is at my heart! When soul and body languish, O leave me not alone, But take away mine anguish, By virtue of Thine own! 10 Be Thou my Consolation And Shield, when I must die; Remind me of Thy passion, When my last hour draws nigh. My eyes shall then behold Thee, Upon Thy cross shall dwell, My heart by faith enfold Thee; Who dieth thus, dies well!

Jesus Christ, my sure Defence

Author: Louisa Henrietta, Electress of Brandenburgh Hymnal: HELC1886 #12 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure Defense and my Saviour, ever liveth; Knowing this, my confidence rests upon the hope it giveth, though the night of death be fraught still with many an anxious thought. 2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives! I too unto life must waken; Endless joy my Saviour gives; Shall my courage then be shaken? Shall I fear? How could the Head Rise and leave His members dead? 3 Nay, too closely am I bound Unto Him by hope forever; Faith's strong hand the Rock hath found, Grasped it, and will leave it never; Not the ban of death can part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4 I am only flesh and blood, And on this corruption seizeth, But I know, my Lord and God From the grave my body raiseth, That with Him eternally In His glory I may be. 5 Glorified I shall again With this skin then be enshrouded, In this body I shall then See my God with eyes unclouded, In this flesh I then shall see Jesus Christ eternally. 6 Then these eyes my Lord shall know, My Redeemer and my Brother; In His love my soul shall glow,-- I myself, and not another! Only there shall disappear Weakness in and round me here. 7 What now sickens, mourns, and sighs, Christ with Him in glory bringeth; Earthly is the seed and dies, Heavenly from the grave it springeth; Natural is the death we die, Spiritual our life on high. 8 Then take comfort, nay, rejoice, For His members Christ will cherish; Fear not, they will hear His voice, Though awhile they seem to perish, When the final trump is heard, And the deaf, cold grave is stirred. 9 Laugh to scorn the gloomy grave, And at death no longer tremble, For the Lord, who came to save, Round Him shall His saints assemble, Raising them o'er all their foes, Mortal weakness, fear, and woes. 10 Only draw away your heart Now from pleasures base and hollow; Would ye there with Christ have part, Here His footsteps ye must follow; Fix your hearts beyond the skies, Whither ye yourselves would rise!

Since Christ has gone to heaven, His home

Author: J. Wegelin Hymnal: HELC1886 #13 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Since Christ has gone to heaven, His home, I too that home one day must share, And in this hope I overcome all doubt, all anguish, and despair; for where the Head is, well we know, the members He has left below in time He surely gathers there. 2 Since Christ has reached His glorious throne, And mighty gifts henceforth are His, My heart can rest in heaven alone, On earth my Lord I always miss; I long to be with Him on high, And heart and thoughts forever fly Where now my only treasure is. 3 From Thy ascension let such grace, Dear Lord, be ever found in me, That steadfast faith may guide my ways With step unfalt'ring up to Thee, And at Thy voice I may depart With joy to dwell where Thou, Lord, art; O Saviour, grant this prayer to me!

A mighty Fortress is our God

Author: Dr. M. Luther Hymnal: HELC1886 #17 (1886) Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a trusty Shield and Weapon; He helps us free from ev'ry need that hath us now o'ertaken. The old evil foe now means 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 forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All eager 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 can fell 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. And take they our life, Goods, fame, child, and wife: Let these all be gone, They yet have nothing won; The kingdom ours remaineth.

Lord, keep us in Thy Word and work

Author: Dr. M. Luther; Dr. J. Jonas Hymnal: HELC1886 #18 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lord, keep us in Thy Word and work, restrain the murderous Pope and Turk, who fain would tear from off Thy throne Christ Jesus, Thy beloved Son. 2 Lord Jesus Christ, Thy power make known, For Thou art Lord of lords alone; Shield Thy poor Christendom, that we May evermore sing praise to Thee. 3 Thou Comforter of priceless worth Give one mind to Thy flock on earth, Stand by us in our final strife, And lead us out of death to life. 4 Destroy their counsels, Lord our God, And smite them with an iron rod, And let them fall into the snare Which for Thy Christians they prepare. 5 So that at last they may perceive That, Lord our God, Thou still dost live, And dost deliver mightily All those who put their trust in Thee.

Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide

Author: Dr. N. Selnecker; Unknown Hymnal: HELC1886 #19 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide, for round us falls the eventide; nor let Thy Word, that heavenly light, for us be ever veiled in night. 2 In these last days of sore distress Grant us, dear Lord, true steadfastness, That pure we keep -- till life is spent -- Thy holy Word and Sacrament. 3 Lord Jesus, help, Thy Church uphold, For we are sluggish, thoughtless, cold; Indue Thy Word with power and grace, And spread its truth in every place. 4 O keep us in Thy Word, we pray; The guile and rage of Satan stay; Unto Thy Church grant, Lord, Thy grace, Peace, concord, patience, fearlessness. 5 O God! how sin's dread works abound! Throughout the earth no rest is found, And wide has falsehood's spirit spread, And error boldly rears its head. 6 Those haughty spirits, Lord, restrain, That fain would o'er Thy Christians reign, And always set forth something new, Devised to change Thy doctrine true. 7 And as the cause and glory, Lord, Are Thine, not ours, do Thou afford Us help and strength and constancy; With all our heart we trust in Thee. 8 A trusty weapon is Thy Word, Thy Church's buckler, shield, and sword; Lord, let us by this Word abide, That we may seek no other guide. 9 O grant that in Thy holy Word We here may live and die, dear Lord, And when our journey endeth here, Receive us into glory there.
