Lord Jesus Christ, We Humbly Pray

Author: H. E. Jacobs, 1844-1932 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly pray That we may feed on Thee today; Beneath these forms of bread and wine Enrich us with Thy grace divine. 2 The chastened peace of sin forgiv'n, The fellowship of heirs of heav'n, Grant as we share this wondrous food, Thy body broken and Thy blood. 3 Our trembling hearts cleave to Thy Word; All Thou hast said Thou dost afford, All that Thou art we here receive, And all we are to Thee we give. 4 One bread, one cup, one body, we, United by our life in Thee, Thy love proclaim till Thou shalt come To bring Thy scattered loved ones home. 5 Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly pray To keep us steadfast to that day That each may be Thy welcomed guest When Thou shalt spread Thy heav'nly feast.

Around the Throne of God a Band

Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Around the throne of God a band Of glorious angels ever stand; Bright things they see sweet harps they hold, And on their heads are crowns of gold. 2 Some wait around Him, ready still To sing His praise and do His will; And some, when He commands them, go To guard His servants here below. 3 Lord, give Thy angels ev'ry day Command to guide us on our way And bid them ev'ry evening keep Their watch around us while we sleep. 4 So shall no wicked thing draw near To do us harm or cause us fear; And we shall dwell, when life is past, With angels round Thy throne at last.

The Death of Jesus Christ, Our Lord

Author: H. Spegel, 1645-1714; O. Olsson, 1841-1900 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The death of Jesus Christ, our Lord, We celebrate with one accord; It is our comfort in distress, Our heart's sweet joy and happiness. 2 He blotted out with His own blood The judgment that against us stood; He full atonement for us made, And all our debt He fully paid. 3 That this is now and ever true He gives an earnest ever new: In this His holy Supper here We taste His love so sweet, so near. 4 His Word proclaims, and we believe. That in this Supper we receive His very body, as He said, His very blood for sinners shed. 5 A precious food is this indeed,-- It never fails us in our need-- A heav'nly manna for our soul Until we safely reach our goal. 6 O blest is each believing guest Who in this promise finds His rest, For Jesus will in love abide With those who do in Him confide. 7 The guest that comes with true intent To turn to God and to repent, To live for Christ, to die to sin, Will thus a holier life begin. 8 They who His Word do not believe, This food unworthily receive, Salvation here will never find-- May we this warning keep in mind! 9 O Jesus Christ, our Brother dear, Unto Thy cross we now draw near; Thy sacred wounds indeed make whole A wounded and benighted soul. 10 Help us sincerely to believe That we may worthily receive Thy Supper and in Thee find rest. Amen! All who believe are blest. Used With Tune: GOTTLOB, ES GEHT NUNMEHR ZU ENDE

I Will Sing My Maker's Praises

Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7.8.7.7 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I will sing my Maker's praises And in Him most joyful be, For in all things I see traces Of His tender love to me. Nothing else than love could move Him With such sweet and tender care Evermore to raise and bear All who try to serve and love Him. All things else have but their day, God's great love abides for aye. 2 Yea, so dear did He esteem me That His Son He loved so well He hath given to redeem me From the quenchless flames of hell. O Thou Spring of boundless blessing, How could e'er my feeble mind Of Thy depth the bottom find Though my efforts were unceasing? All things else have but their day, God's great love abides for aye. 3 All that for my soul is needful He with loving care provides, Nor of that is He unheedful Which my body needs besides. When my strength cannot avail me, When my pow'rs can do no more, Doth my God His strength outpour; In my need He doth not fail me. All things else have but their day, God's great love abides for aye. 4 When I sleep, He still is near me, O'er me rests His guardian eye; And new gifts and blessings cheer me When the morning streaks the sky. Were it not for God's protection, Had His countenance not been Here my Guide, I had not seen E'er the end of my affliction. All things else have but their day, God's great love abides for aye. 5 As a father never turneth Wholly from a wayward child, For the prodigal still yearneth, Longing to be reconciled, So my many sins and errors Find a tender, pard'ning God, Chast'ning frailty with His rod, Not in vengeance, with His terrors. All things else have but their day, God's great love abides for aye. 6 Since, then, neither change nor coldness In my Father's love can be, Lo! I lift my hands with boldness, As Thy child I come to Thee. Grant me grace, O God, I pray Thee, That I may with all my might, All my lifetime, day and night, Love and trust Thee and obey Thee And, when this brief life is o'er, Praise and love Thee evermore.

In life and death I cling to Thee; O do not let me perish! Let not Thy grace from me depart And grant an ever patient heart To bear what Thou dost send me. 2 Grant honor, truth, and purity, And love Thy Word to ponder; From all false doctrine keep me free. Bestow, both here and yonder, What serves my everlasting bliss; Preserve me from unrighteousness Throughout my earthly journey. 3 When, at Thy summons, I must leave This vale of sin and sadness, Give me Thy grace, Lord, not to grieve, But to depart with gladness. To Thee my spirit I commend; O Lord, grant me a blessed end Through Jesus Christ, my Savior. Topics: Election; Epiphany 5 Used With Tune: HERR, WIE DU WILLST

Over Kedron Jesus Treadeth

Author: T. H. Kingo, 1634-1703 ; J. Jeffrey; M. DeGarmeaux, b. 1958 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Over Kedron Jesus treadeth To His passion for us all; Ev'ry human eye be weeping, Tears of bitter grief let fall! Round His spirit flock the foes, Place their shafts and bend their bows, Aiming at the Savior solely, While the world forsakes Him wholly. 2 David once, with heart afflicted, Crossed the Kedron's narrow strand, Clouds of gloom and grief about him When an exile from his land. But, O Jesus, blacker now Bends the cloud above Thy brow, Hasting to death's dreary portals For the shame and sin of mortals. 3 [Protected by copyright] 4 See how, anguish-struck, He falleth Prostrate, and with struggling breath, Three times on His God He calleth, Praying that the bitter death And the cup of doom may go, Still He cries, in all His woe: "Not My will, but Thine, O Father!" And the angels round Him gather. 5 [Protected by copyright] 6 But, O flow'rs, so sadly watered By this pure and precious dew, In some blessed hour your blossoms 'Neath the olive-shadows grew! Eden's garden did not bear Aught that can with you compare, For the blood, thus freely given, Makes my soul the heir of heaven. 7 When as flow'rs themselves I wither, When I droop and fade life grass, When the life-streams through my pulses Dull and ever duller pass, When at last they cease to roll Then, to cheer my singing soul, Grace of Jesus, be Thou given-- Source of triumph! pledge of heaven! 8 [Protected by copyright] Topics: Passion of Christ Used With Tune: OVER KEDRON JESUS TRÆDER

In Jesus' Name

Author: J. Frederiksen, 1603-41; G. A. T. Rygh, 1860-1942 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: In Jesus' name Our work must all be done Lyrics: 1 In Jesus' name Our work must all be done If it shall compass our true good and aim, And not end in shame alone; For ev'ry deed Which in it doth proceed, Success and blessing gains Till it the goal attains. Thus we honor God on high And ourselves are blessed thereby; Wherein our true good remains. 2 In Jesus' name We praise our God on high, He blesses them who spread abroad His fame, And we do His will thereby. E'er hath the Lord Done great things by His Word, And still doth bare His arm His wonders to perform; Hence we should in ev'ry clime Magnify His name sublime, Who doth shield us from all harm. 3 In Jesus' name We live and we will die; If then we live, His love we will proclaim; If we die, we gain thereby. In Jesus' name, Who from heav'n to us came, We shall again rise To meet Him in the skies, When at last, saved by His grace, We shall see Him face to face, Live with Him in Paradise.
