I love Thy Zion Lord!

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #151 (1893) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I lOVE Thy Zion Lord! The house of Thine abode, The Church our blest Redeemer saved With His own precious blood. 2 I love Thy church, O God! Her walls before Thee stand, Dear as the apple of Thine eye, And graven on Thy hand. 3 Should I with scoffers join Her altars to abuse? No! better far my tongue were dumb, My hand its skill should lose. 4 For her my tears shall fall; For her my prayers ascend: To her my cares and toils be given, Till toils and cares shall end. 5 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise. 6 Jesus, Thou Friend divine, Our Saviour and our King, Thy hand from every snare and foe Shall great deliverance bring. 7 Sure as Thy truth shall last, To Zion shall be given The brightest glories earth can yield, And brighter bliss of heaven.

In vain would boasting reason find

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #153 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 IN vain would boasting reason find The path to happiness and God; Her weak directions leave the mind Bewildered in a doubtful road. 2 Jesus, Thy words alone impart Eternal life; on these I live; Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart Than all the powers of nature give. 3 Here let my constant feet abide; Thou art the true, the living Way: Let Thy good Spirit be my Guide To the bright realms of endless day. 4 The various forms that men devise, To shake my faith with treacherous art, I scorn as vanity and lies, And bind Thy Gospel to my heart.

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #154 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 JESUS shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 For Him shall endless prayer be made, And endless praises crown His head; His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise With every morning-sacrifice. 3 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on His love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His name. 4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns: The prisoner leaps to lose his chains, The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. 5 Where He displays His healing power, Death and the curse are known no more; In Him the tribes of Adam boast More blessings than their rather lost. 6 Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honors to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen.

Let every ear attend

Lord, In Thy kingdom there shall be

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #157 (1893) Lyrics: 1 LORD, In Thy kingdom there shall be No aliens from each other, But even as he loves himself Each saint shall love his brother. 2 When in Thy courts below we meet To mourn our sinful living, And with united hearts repeat Confession, creed, thanksgiving: 3 Make us to hear in each sweet word Thy Holy Spirit calling To oneness with Thy Church and Thee, That heavenly bond forestalling. 4 One Baptism and one faith have we, One Spirit sent to win us, One Lord, one Father, and one God, Above, and through, and in us. 5 Never, by schism, or by sin, May we that union sever, Till all, to perfect stature grown, Are one with Thee forever.

Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #158 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 LORD Jesus Christ, with us abide, For round us falls the even-tide; 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.

May God bestow on us His grace

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #160 (1893) Meter: 8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 MAY God bestow on us His grace, With blessings rich provide us, And may the brightness of His face, To life eternal guide us; That we His gracious work may know, And what is His good pleasure, And also to the heathen show Christ's riches without measure, And unto God convert them. 2 Thine over all shall be the praise And thanks of every nation, And all the world with joy shall raise The voice of exultation; For Thou shalt judge the earth, O Lord, Nor suffer sin to flourish; Thy people's pasture is Thy Word Their souls to feed and nourish, In righteous paths to keep them. 3 O let the people praise Thy worth, In all good works increasing; The land shall plenteous fruit bring forth. Thy Word is rich in blessing. May God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit bless us! Let all the world praise Him alone, Let solemn awe possess us. Now let our hearts say, Amen.
