My heart its incense burning

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #542 (1913) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 My heart its incense burning, I'll offer thanks and praise, Now, with return of morning, And through all future days; I'll praise Thee on thy throne, Great Source of every blessing, My song to Thee addressing Through Christ, Thy only Son. 2 Thy mercy claims my praises! This kept me through the night; And now from sleep it raises, To greet the dawning light. This, too, it is that hath My many sins forgiven, Which, in the face of heaven, So oft provoked thy wrath. 3 In mercy still direct me Throughout the coming day: From Satan's wiles protect me, From sin, and from dismay: Defend from fire and storm, From want and every weakness, From sorrows and from sickness, From sudden death's alarm. 4 Let angels keep their stations, Nor cease their guard of me, Averting all temptations Which draw my soul from thee Thy shield hold thou above! Then nothing shall distress me, To duty I'll address me, Rejoicing in Thy love! Topics: Family Prayer Morning; Family Prayer Morning; Angels Tune Title: [My heart its incense burning]

My Inmost Heart Now Raises

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Georg Nigidius, c. 1588 Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #548 (1941) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 My inmost heart now raises In this fair morning hour A song of thankful praises To Thine almighty pow'r, O God, upon Thy throne. To honor and adore Thee, I bring my praise before Thee Thro' Christ, Thine only Son. 2 For Thou from me hast warded All perils of the night; From ev'ry harm hast guarded My soul till morning light. To Thee I humbly cry, O Savior, have compassion And pardon my transgression; Have mercy, Lord most high! 3 And shield me from all evil, O gracious God, this day, From sin, and from the devil, From shame and from dismay, From fire's consuming breath, From water's devastation, From need and consternation, From evil sudden death. 4 Let not Thine angel leave me While here on earth I stay Lest Satan's arts deceive me And lead my soul astray. Then keep Thine angel near At night and each new morrow Lest soul and body sorrow And falt'ring cost me dear. 5 God shall do my advising, Whose might with wisdom blends; May He bless rest and rising, My efforts, means, and ends! To God, forever blest, Will I with mine confide me, And willing let Him guide me As seemeth to Him best. 6 Amen I say, not fearing That God rejects my prayer; I doubt not He is hearing And granting me His care. Thus I go on my way And do not look behind me, But ply the task assigned me; God's help shall be my stay. Amen.

See God to Heaven Ascending

Author: Martin L. Seltz, 1909-67; Gottfried W. Sacer, 1635-99 Hymnal: Worship Supplement #744 (1969) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 See God to heaven ascending In triumph to his throne, Great shouts in tumult blending With trumpets' thrilling tone! Sing praises to your Lord! Sing praises, bring ovations, To Christ, the King of nations, The God of hosts adored! 2 Lo, heaven with joy is sounding His glad return to see; Behold the saints surrounding The Lord who set them free; Now myriad angels come, The cherub band rejoices, And clearest seraph voices All welcome Jesus home. 3 We see the steps ascending That raised our Head on high; We see the highway wending To heaven's unending joy. Our Savior leads the way; Yet he would not bereave us, A well-marked path would leave us, Prepares our passageway. 4 Our minds are heavenward tending, Where he prepares our place; Our course on earth is ending, There to adore his grace. Bestir your heart and soul! Where Jesus Christ has entered, There let your hope be centered; There run to reach your goal! 5 Let all our thoughts be winging, With thee to heaven ascend; Let all our hearts be singing: "We seek thee, Savior, Friend, Thee, God's anointed Son, Our Life and Way to heaven, To whom all power is given, Our Joy and Hope and Crown."

Oh, Enter, Lord, Thy Temple

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4782 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1. Oh, enter, Lord, Thy temple, Be Thou my spirit’s guest, Who gavest me, the earth-born, A second birth more blest. Thou in the Godhead, Lord, Though here to dwell Thou deignest, Forever equal reignest, Art equally adored. 2. Oh, enter, let me know Thee And feel Thy power within, The power that breaks our fetters And rescues us from sin; Oh, wash and cleanse Thou me That I may serve Thee truly And render honor duly With perfect heart to Thee. 3. Thou art, O Holy Spirit, The true anointing oil, Through which are consecrated Soul, body, rest, and toil To Christ, whose guardian wings, Where’er their lot appointed, Protect His own anointed, His prophets, priests, and kings. 4. Thou, Holy Spirit, teachest The soul to pray aright; Thy songs have sweetest music, Thy prayers have wondrous might. Unheard they cannot fall, They pierce the highest heaven Till He His help hath given Who surely helpeth all. 5. Thy gift is joy, O Spirit, Thou wouldst not have us pine; In darkest hours Thy comfort Doth ever brightly shine. And, oh, how oft Thy voice Hath shed its sweetness o’er me And opened heaven before me And bid my heart rejoice! 6. All love is Thine, O Spirit; Thou hatest enmity; Thou lovest peace and friendship, All strife wouldst have us flee; Where wrath and discord reign, Thy whisper kindly pleadeth And to the heart that heedeth Brings love and light again. 7. Our path in all things order According to Thy mind, And when this life is over And all must be resigned, Oh, grant us then to die With calm and fearless spirit And after death inherit Eternal life on high.

To God the Anthem Raising

Author: Paul Eber; Carl Døving Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6566 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1. To God the anthem raising, Sing, Christians, great and small; Sing out, His goodness praising, Oh, thank Him, one and all! Behold how God this year, Which now is safely ended, Hath in His love befriended His children far and near. 2. Let us consider rightly His mercies manifold, And let us not think lightly Of all His gifts untold. Let thankfulness recall How God this year hath led us, How He hath clothed and fed us, The great ones and the small. 3. To church and state He granted His peace in every place, His vineyard He hath planted Among us by His grace, His ever bounteous hand Prosperity hath given And want and famine driven From this our native land. 4. His Father heart is yearning To take us for His own When, our transgressions mourning, We trust in Christ alone; When in His name we pray And humbly make confession, He pardons our transgression And is our faithful stay. 5. Our God hath well defended, Hath kept us through His grace; But if He had contended With us our sins to trace And given us our meed, We all would then be lying In sin and sorrow, dying, Each one for his misdeed. 6. O Father dear in Heaven, For all Thy gifts of love Which Thou to us hast given We lift our thanks above. In Jesus’ name we here, To Thee our prayers addressing, Still ask Thee for Thy blessing: Grant us a joyful year. Languages: English Tune Title: HELFT MIR GOTT'S GÜTE

Come, Let Us All, With Fervor

Author: Paul Eber, 1511-1569; Johann C. Jacobi Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14282 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, let us all, with fervor, On whom Heav’n’s mercies shine, To our supreme preserver In tuneful praises join. Another year is gone; Of which the tender mercies (Each pious heart rehearses) Demand a grateful song. 2 Tell o’er, with true devotion, The wonders of His grace: Let no polluting notion Our gratitude deface. But still remember well, That this year’s renovation Renews our obligation To fight ’gainst sin and hell. 3 His grace is still preserving Our peace in church and state; His love is never swerving, In spite of Satan’s hate. Dispensed with open hand, His blessings on this nation Still ward off desolation, And save a sinful land. 4 ’Tis His eternal kindness That spares us from the rod. Tho’ long our willful blindness Has sore provoked our God To pour His vengeance down; Yet still His grace provides us, And still His mercy hides us, From His own dreadful frown. 5 The source of all compassion Pities our feeble frame When, turning from transgression, We come in Jesus’ name Before His holy face; Then every sinful motion Is cast into the ocean Of never-failing grace. 6 To Christ our peace is owing: Through Him Thou art appeased. Through Him Thy love’s still flowing: O! wilt Thou then be pleased, Through Christ Thy grace to send, In all its strength and beauty, To keep us in our duty, ’Till these frail days shall end.
