Whate'er my God ordains is right!

Author: Mag. S. Rodigast Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Whate'er my God ordains is right! Holy His will abideth; I will be still whate’er He doth, and follow where He guideth. He is my God; though dark my road, He knoweth how to shield me, Wherefore to Him I yield me. 2 Whate'er my God ordains is right! He never will deceive me; He leads me by the proper path, I know He will not leave me, And take content What He hath sent; His hand that sends my sadness, Will turn my tears to gladness. 3 Whate'er my God ordains is right! His loving thought attends me; No poisoned draught the cup can be That my Physician sends me, But medicine due; For God is true. Of doubt, then, I'll divest me, And on His goodness rest me. 4 Whate'er my God ordains is right! My Life, my Light can never Intend me harm; then, to His care I give myself forever, In weal or woe; For well I know, I once shall see quite clearly That God did love me dearly. 5 Whate'er my God ordains is right! Though now this cup in drinking May bitter to my taste appear, I take it all unshrinking; For to my heart God will impart A timely balm of healing, And end each painful feeling. 6 Whate'er my God ordains is right! Here shall my stand be taken; Though sorrow, need, or death be mine, Yet I am not forsaken; My Father’s care Is round me there, His arms embrace and shield me; Then, to my God I yield me.

O Christ, our true and only Light

Author: J. Heermann Appears in 96 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light, enlighten those who sit in night; let those afar now hear Thy voice, and in Thy fold with us rejoice. 2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace The souls now lost in error's maze, And all whom in their secret minds Some dark delusion hurts and blinds. 3 And all who else have strayed from Thee, O gently seek! Thy healing be To every wounded conscience given, And let them also share Thy heaven. 4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word, And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 5 Shine on the darkened and the cold, Recall the wanderers from Thy fold, Unite all those who walk apart, Confirm the weak and doubting heart. 6 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wondering thanks adore, And endless praise to Thee be given By all Thy Church in earth and heaven.

O bleeding Head, and wounded

Author: P. Gerhardt Appears in 12 hymnals 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! Topics: The Church Year Used With Tune: [O bleeding Head, and wounded]

Dear Christians, one and all rejoice

Author: Dr. M. Luther Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all rejoice, with exultation springing, And with united heart and voice and holy rapture singing, tell how our God beheld our need, and sing His sweet and wondrous deed; right dearly it hath cost Him! 2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay, Death brooded darkly o'er me, My sin oppressed me night and day, Therein my mother bore me; Deeper and deeper still I fell, Life had became a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. 3 My good works could avail me naught, For they with sin were stainèd; Free-will against God's judgment fought, And dead to good remainèd. Grief drove me to despair, and I Had nothing left me but to die, To hell I fast was sinking. 4 Then God beheld my wretched state With deep commiseration; He thought upon His mercy great, and willed my soul's salvation; He turned to me a Father's heart-- Not small the cost!--to heal my smart, He gave His best and dearest. 5 He spake to His beloved Son: 'T is time to take compassion; Then go, my heart's most precious Crown, And bring to man salvation; From sin and sorrow set him free, Slay bitter death for him, that he May live with Thee forever. 6 The Son delighted to obey, And, born of Virgin mother, Awhile on this low earth did stay, That He might be my brother. His mighty power He hidden bore, A servant's form like mine He wore, To lead the devil captive. 7 To me He spake: "Hold fast by me, I am thy Rock and Castle; I wholly give myself for thee; For thee I strive and wrestle; For I am thine, and thou art mine, Henceforth my place is also thine, The foe shall never part us. 8 The foe shall shed my precious blood, Me of My life bereaving; All this I suffer for thy good; Be steadfast and believing. Life shall from death the vict'ry win, My righteousness shall bear thy sin, So art thou blest forever. 9 Now to My Father I depart, From earth to heav'n ascending, Thence heav'nly wisdom to impart, The Holy Spirit sending; He shall in trouble comfort thee, Teach thee to know and follow me, And into truth shall guide thee. 10 What have done and taught, do thou To do and teach endeavor; So shall my kingdom flourish now, And God be praised forever; Take heed lest men with base alloy The heav'nly treasure should destroy; This counsel I bequeath thee.

O God, Thou faithful God

Author: J. Heermann Appears in 63 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God, Thou Fount that ever flowest, Without whom nothing is, who all good gifts bestowest; A pure and healthy frame O give me, and within a conscience free from blame, a soul unhurt by sin. 2 And grant me, Lord, to do, With ready heart and willing, Whate'er Thou shalt command, My calling here fulfilling; To do it when I ought, With all my strength; and bless The work I thus have wrought, For Thou must give success. 3 O let me never speak What bounds of truth exceedeth; Grant that no idle word From out my mouth proceedeth; And grant, when in my place I must and ought to speak, My words due power and grace, Nor let me wound the weak. 4 If dangers gather round, Still keep me calm and fearless; Help me to bear the cross, When life is dark and cheerless; Let me subdue my foe By words and actions kind; When counsel I would know, Good counsel let me find. 5 And let me be with all In peace and friendship living, As far as Christians may; And if Thou aught art giving Of wealth and honors fair, O this refuse me not, That naught be mingled there Of goods unjustly got. 6 And if a longer life Be here on earth decreed me, And Thou through many a strife To ripe old age wilt lead me, Thy patience in me shed, Avert all sin and shame, And crown my hoary head With pure untarnished fame. 7 Let me depart this life Confiding in my Saviour; Do Thou my soul receive, That it may live forever; And let my body have A quiet resting-place Beside a Christian's grave, And let it sleep in peace. 8 And on that solemn day, When all the dead are waking, Stretch o'er my grave Thy hand, Thyself my slumbers breaking; Then let me hear Thy voice, And change this earthly frame, And bid me aye rejoice With those who love Thy name.

Jerusalem, thou city fair and high

Author: J. M. Meyfart Appears in 66 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city fair and high, would God I were in thee! My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly, It will not stay with me; far over vale and mountain, far over field and plain, it hastes to seek its Fountain And quit this world of pain. 2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour, When wilt thou come at last? When fearless to my Father's love and power, Whose promise standeth fast, My soul I gladly render, For surely will His hand Lead her, with guidance tender, To heaven, her fatherland. 3 A moment's space, and gently, wondrously, Released from earthly ties, Elijah's chariot bears her up to thee, Through all these lower skies, To yonder shining regions, While down, to meet her, come The blessed angel legions, And bid her welcome home. 4 O Zion, hail! Bright city, now unfold The gates of grace to me! How many a time I longed for thee of old, Ere yet I was set free From yon dark life of sadness, Yon world of shadowy naught, And God had given the gladness, The heritage I sought. 5 O what the tribe, or what the glorious host, Comes sweeping swiftly down? The chosen ones on earth who wrought the most, The Church's brightest crown, Our Lord hath sent to meet me, As in the far off years Their words oft came to greet me In yonder land of tears. 6 The Patriarchs' and Prophets' noble train, With all Christ's followers true, Who bore the cross, and could the worst disdain That tyrants dared to do, I see them shine forever, All-glorious as the sun, 'Mid light that fadeth never, Their perfect freedom won. 7 And when within that lovely Paradise And last I safely dwell, From out my soul what songs of bliss shall rise, What joy my lips shall tell, While holy saints are singing Hosannas o'er and o'er, Pure Hallelujah's ringing Around me evermore! 8 Innumerous choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise, Till heaven's glad halls are echoing with the tone Of that great hymn of praise, And all its host rejoices, And all its blessed throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song.
