do to death, as he has died.

light and life and strength belong,
and I love supremely, solely,
him the holy, him the strong.

for the love of him alone,
Holy Church as his creation,
and her teachings as his own.

Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice
Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Richard Massie, 1800-87 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #556 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:9-10 Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice,
With exultation springing,
And with united heart and voice
And holy rapture singing,
Proclaim the wonders God has done,
How His right arm the vict'ry won,
What price our ransom cost Him!
2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay;
Death brooded darkly o'er me.
Sin was my torment night and day;
In sin my mother bore me.
But daily deeper still I fell;
My life became a living hell,
So firmly sin possessed me.
3 My own good works all came to naught,
No grace or merit gaining;
Free will against God's judgment fought,
Dead to all good remaining.
My fears increased till sheer despair
Left only death to be my share;
The pangs of hell I suffered.
4 But God had seen my wretched state
Before the world's foundation,
And mindful of His mercies great,
He planned for my salvation.
He turned to me a father's heart;
He did not choose the easy part
But gave His dearest treasure.
5 God said to His beloved Son:
"It's time to have compassion.
Then go, bright jewel of My crown,
And bring to all salvation.
From sin and sorrow set them free;
Slay bitter death for them that they
May live with You forever."
6 The Son obeyed His Father's will,
Was born of virgin mother;
And God's good pleasure to fulfill,
He came to be my brother.
His royal pow'r disguised He bore;
A servant's form, like mine, He wore
To lead the devil captive.
7 To me He said: "Stay close to Me,
I am your rock and castle.
Your ransom I Myself will be;
For you I strive and wrestle.
For I am yours, and you are Mine,
And where I am you may remain;
The foe shall not divide us.
8 "Though he will shed My precious blood,
Me of My life bereaving,
All this I suffer for your good;
Be steadfast and believing.
Life will from death the vict'ry win;
My innocence shall bear your sin,
And you are blest forever.
9 "Now to My Father I depart,
From earth to heav'n ascending,
And, heav'nly wisdom to impart,
The Holy Spirit sending;
In trouble He will comfort you
And teach you always to be true
And into truth shall guide you.
10 "What I on earth have done and taught
Guide all your life and teaching;
So shall the kingdom's work be wrought
And honored in your preaching.
But watch lest foes with base alloy
The heav'nly treasure should destroy;
This final word I leave you."

How dearly it has cost him!
2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay;
death brooded darkly o'er me.
Sin was my torment night and day;
in sin my mother bore me.
Yet deep and deeper still I fell;
life had became a living hell,

no merit they attaining;
my will against God's judgment fought,

My fears increased till sheer despair

4 But God beheld my wretched state
before the world's foundation,
and, mindful of his mercies great,
he planned for my salvation.
A father's heart he turned to me,
sought my redemption fervently;
he gave his dearest treasure.
5 He spoke to his belovèd Son:
"It's time to have compassion.
Then go, bright jewel of my crown,

From sin and sorrow set them free;
slay bitter death for them that they
may live with you forever."

For I am yours, your friend divine,
and evermore you shall be mine;
the foe shall not divide us.

the Holy Spirit sending
and, heav'nly wisdom to impart,
my help to you extending.
He will a source of comfort be,
teach you to know and follow me,
and in all truth will guide you.
10 "What I on earth have lived and taught
be all your life and teaching;
so shall the kingdom's work be wrought
and honored in your preaching.
Take care that no one's man-made laws
should e'er destroy the gospel's cause;
this final word I leave you." Topics: Justification Languages: English Tune Title: NUN FREUT EUCH

I Cannot Tell
Author: William Y. Fullerton Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #109 (1990) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:12 First Line: I cannot tell why he whom angels worship Lyrics: 1 I cannot tell why he whom angels worship
should come in flesh as prophets long foretold,
or why the Shepherd longs to save the wanderers
and bring them back rejoicing to the fold.
But this I know, that he was born of Mary
when Bethlehem's manger was his only home,
and that he lived at Nazareth and labored,
and so the promised Savior of the world is come.
2 I cannot tell how silently he suffered
as with his peace he graced this place of tears,
or how his heart upon the cross was broken,
the crown of pain to three and thirty years.
But this I know, he heals the broken-hearted,
and stays our sin, and calms our lurking fear,
and lifts the burden from the heavy laden,
for still the suffering Savior of the world is here.
3 I cannot tell how he will win the nations,
how he will claim his earthly heritage,
how satisfy the needs and aspirations
of east and west, of sinner and of sage.
But this I know, all flesh shall see his glory,
and he shall reap the harvest he has sown,
and some glad day his sun shall shine in splendor,
when he, the risen Savior of the world, is known.
4 I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship
when at his bidding,every storm is stilled,
or who can say how great the jubilation
when all our hearts with love for him are filled.
But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture,
and countless voices then will join to sing,
and earth to heaven, and heaven to earth will answer:
"At last the living Savior of the world is King!"

Free Salvation
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CVIII (1792) Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:9 First Line: Jesus is our great salvation Lyrics: 1 Jesus is our great salvation'
Worthy of our best esteem!
He has sav'd his favorite nation;
Join to sing aloud to him:
He has sav'd us,
Christ alone could us redeem.
2 When involv'd in sin and ruin,
And no helper there was found;
Jesus our distress was viewing:
Grace did more than sin abound:
He has call'd us,
With salvation in the sound.
3 Save us from a mere profession,
Save us from hypocrisy;
Give us, Lord, the sweet possession
Of thy righteousness and thee:
Best of favors,
None compar'd with this can be.
4 Let us never, Lord, forget thee!
Make us walk as pilgrims here:
We will give thee all the glory,
Of the love that brought us near;
Bid us praise thee,
And rejoice with holy fear.
5 Free election, known by calling,
Is a privilege divine:
Saints are kept from final falling,
All the glory, Lord, be thine.
All the glory,
All the glory, Lord, is thine.
