In God's name let us on our way!

Hymnal: ELH1880 #332 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 In God's name let us on our way! The Father's help and grace we pray; His love shall guard us round about From foes within and harms without. 2 And Christ, be Thou our Friend and Guide, Through all our wanderings at our side, Help us all evil to withstand That wars against Thy least command. 3 The Holy Spirit, day by day, With needful gifts attend our way, With hope and strength when dark our road, And bring us home again in God!

Of Zion's honor angels sing!

Hymnal: ELH1880 #333 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Of Zion's honor angels sing! In Zion Christ alone is King; In grace He rules with gentle sway, And leads her heavenward, day by day. 2 And Zion knows no other Lord, But cleaves alone to His pure Word: To her suffices: "Jesus saith!"-- This is her source and rule of faith. 3 To her He gave the Power of Keys, To bind and loose as He decree; Through her He wishes sins forgiven, And sinner made fit heirs of heaven. 4 Hence He apostles, prophets, sent To her, with Word and Sacrament-- And He gives servants of the Word, To serve the Church and Christ her Lord. 5 God Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Adored by all the heavenly host, We bow in Zion at Thy throne,-- No other God and Lord we own.

Father! be Thy blessing shed

Hymnal: ELH1880 #334 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Father! be Thy blessing shed On Thy chosen servant's head; Savior! needed grace impart To sustain and keep his heart; Holy Spirit! with Thy fire Touch his lips, his soul inspire, That Thy Truth through him be told Fearlessly to young and old. 2 Seal this day the vows that hold Flock and shepherd in one fold. May he Jesus' mandates keep, "Feed My lambs," and "Feed My sheep!" By Thee to Thy people sent With Thy Word and Sacrament, May he so proclaim the Word That who hear him, hear Thee, Lord. 3 In Thy vineyard called to toil, Wisely may he search the soil; Sinners may he love and win, While he hates and brands the sin. Give him boldness for the right, Give him meekness in the fight, Teach him zeal and care to blend, Give him patience to the end. 4 Grant him, in his charge, to find List'ning ear and fervent mind, Helpful counsels, deep'ning peace, Earnest life, and glad increase; May they, by each other led, Grow to one in Christ their head, And at last, together be Ripe for heaven and meet for Thee!

How beauteous are their feet

Hymnal: ELH1880 #335 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet their tidings are! "Zion, behold Thy Savior--King, He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears That hear this joyful sound, That kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessed are our eyes That see this heavenly light; Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight! 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad: Let every nation now behold Their Savior and their God.

Ye Christian heralds, go proclaim

Hymnal: ELH1880 #336 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 "Ye Christian heralds, go proclaim Salvation in Immanuel's name; To distant climes the tidings bear, And plant the rose of Sharon there." 2 Go with His Word and Sacrament, And in His name spend and be spent; You bring Immanuel's saving grace Unto a lost and dying race. 3 From out the depths of open grave Their need cries loudly: Help, O save! Go then, and toil while yet 'tis day; He, who you serve, attends your way. Topics: The Catechism The Ministry Languages: English

O Jesus Christ, how bright and fair

Hymnal: ELH1880 #339 (1880) Lyrics: 1 O Jesus Christ, how bright and fair The state of holy marriage, where Thy blessing rich is given! What gracious gifts Thou dost bestow, What streams of bounty ever flow Down from Thy holy heaven, When they Obey Thee, Lord, ever Leave Thee never, Whose troth-plighted, In one life have been united! 2 When man and wife are mated well, In harmony together dwell In chaste and faithful union, Then grows their fortune with their love, And angel visitants above Rejoice at such communion; No storm, No worm Can destroy that, Can e'er gnaw that, What God giveth To the pair that in Him liveth. 3 Be of good cheer, it was not we Who first this order did decree; It was a higher Father, Who loved and liveth us for aye, And from whose lips, when grieved, each day We friendly counsel gather; Good end He'll send To our doing and pursuing, Wisely guiding All our planning and providing. 4 A time will come, it cannot fail, When we 'neath trials sore shall quail, And tears be freely flowing; To him who bears it patiently, By God's grace shall His sorrow be Turned into joy o'erflowing. Waive care, Wait, bear; He is near thee, Who can cheer thee, For thy sadness He will give thee oil of gladness. 5 Come hither then, my King so bless'd! In trials guide, in pain give rest, In anxious times relieving! To Thee we shall ascribe the praise, Our hearts and voices we shall raise In one loud song, thanks giving, Till we With Thee Shall be dwelling And there telling Thy praise ever, Nevermore from Thee to sever.
