The saints of earth and those above

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #411 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 THE saints on earth and those above But one communion make; Joined to their Lord, in bonds of love, All of His grace partake. 2 One family we dwell in Him, One Church above, beneath; Though now divided by the stream,-- The narrow stream of death. 3 One army of the living God, To His commands we bow: Part of the host have passed the flood, And part are crossing now. 4 Lo! thousands to their endless home Are swiftly borne away; And we are to the margin come, And soon must launch as they. 5 Lord Jesus! be our constant Guide! Then, when the word is given, Bid death’s cold flood its waves divide, And land us safe in heaven. Topics: The Word and the Church Communion of Saints Languages: English

Hark! the Church proclaims her honor

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #412 (1893) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 HARK! the Church proclaims her honor, And her strength is only this: God hath laid his choice upon her, And the work she doth is His. 2 He His Church has firmly founded, He will guard what He began; We by sin and foes surrounded, Build her bulwarks as we can. 3 Frail and fleeting are our powers, Short our days, our foresight dim, And we own the choice not ours, We were chosen first by Him. 4 Onward, then! for nought despairing, Calm we follow at His Word, Thus through joy and sorrow bearing Faithful witness to our Lord. 5 Though we here must strive in weakness, Though in tears we often bend, What His might began in meekness Shall achieve a glorious end.

This child we dedicate to Thee

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #415 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 THIS child we dedicate to Thee, O God of grace and purity! Shield it from sin and threatening wrong, And let Thy love its life prolong. 2 Oh, may Thy Spirit gently draw Its willing soul to keep Thy Law, May virtue, piety, and truth, Dawn even with its dawning youth. 3 We too, before Thy gracious sight, Once shared the blest baptismal rite, And would renew its solemn vow With love, and thanks, and praises, now. 4 Grant that, with true and faithful heart, We still may act the Christian’s part, Cheered by each promise Thou hast given, And laboring for the prize in heaven.

Now Christ, the very Son of God

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #416 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 NOW Christ, the very Son of God, On sinners sends another flood; It is the water which the Lord Has comprehended in the Word. 2 This flood, to cleanse sin's leprosy, Mere earthly water cannot be; But water and God's gracious Word Conjoined, this saving bath afford. 3 "Go ye," says Christ, "my Word proclaim, Baptise the nations in God's name: All who are baptized and believe My full salvation shall receive." 4 God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, To be baptized invites the host. He will be present, though unseen, From all their sins to wash them clean. 5 So too, by our repentance, must The old man, with his sins and lust, Be daily drowned, and then arise A new man, righteous, pure, and wise. 6 That by the water and the Word We're born again, we thank Thee, Lord! In life and death Thine let us be, And Thine in all eternity. Topics: Catechism Baptism Languages: English

Great Shepherd, take it to Thy fold, Thine own for aye to be: Defend it through this earthly strife And lead it on the path of life. 3 Spirit, who broodest o'er the wave, Descend upon this child; Give endless life, its spirit lave With waters undefiled: Grant it, while yet a babe to be A child of God, a home for Thee! 4 O God, what Thou command'st is done; We speak, but Thine the might. This child which scarce has seen the sun, O pour on it Thy light, In faith and hope, in joy and love, Thou Sun of all below, above! Topics: Catechism Baptism Languages: English

'Twas on that dark, that doleful night

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #418 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 ’TWAS on that dark, that doleful night, When powers of earth and hell arose Against the Son of God’s delight, And friends betrayed Him to His foes. 2 Before the mournful scene began, He took the bread, and blessed, and brake; What love through all His actions ran! What wondrous words of grace He spake! 3 "This is my body, broke for sin; Receive and eat the living food:" Then took the cup and blessed the wine; "’Tis the new covenant in my blood." 4 "Do this," He said, "till time shall end, In memory of your dying Friend Meet at my table and record The love of your departed Lord." 5 Jesus, Thy feast we celebrate; We show Thy death, we sing Thy name, Till Thou return, and we shall eat The marriage supper of the Lamb.

At Thy command, our dearest Lord

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #419 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 AT Thy command, our dearest Lord, Here we attend Thy dying feast; Thy blood, like wine, adorns the board, And Thine own flesh feeds every guest. 2 Our faith adorns Thy bleeding love, And trusts for life in one that died; We hope for heavenly crowns above From a Redeemer crucified. 3 Let the vain world pronounce it shame, And fling their scandals on the cause; We come to boast our Saviour’s name, And make our triumphs in His cross. 4 With joy we tell the scoffing age, He that was dead has left His tomb; He lives above their utmost rage, And we are waiting till He come.

O Jesus! bruised and wounded more

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #420 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O JESUS! bruised and wounded more Than bursted grape, or bread of wheat, The Life of life within our souls, The Cup of our salvation sweet! 2 We come to show Thy dying hour, Thy streaming vein, Thy broken flesh; And still the blood is warm to save, And still the fragrant wounds are fresh. 3 O Heart! that, with a double tide Of blood and water maketh pure, O Flesh! once offered on the cross, The gift that makes our pardon sure; 4 Let never more our sinful souls The anguish of Thy cross renew; Nor forge again the cruel nails, That pierced Thy victim body through. 5 Come, Bread of heaven, to feed our souls, And with Thee, Jesus enter in! Come, Wine of God! and as we drink, His precious blood wash out our sin! Topics: Catechism Lord's Supper Languages: English
