Lord Jesus Christ, True Man and God

Author: P. Eber, 1511-69; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, true Man and God, Who borest anguish, scorn, the rod, And diedst at last upon the tree, To bring Thy Father's grace for me: 2 I pray Thee through that bitter woe, With me, a sinner, mercy know When comes the hour of failing breath, And I must wrestle, Lord, with death. 3 When from my sight all fades away, And when my tongue no more can say, And when mine ears no more can hear, And when my heart is racked with fear, 4 When all my mind is darkened o'er, And human help can do no more; Then come, Lord Jesus, come with speed, And help me in my hour of need. 5 Lead me from this dark vale beneath, And shorten then the pangs of death; All evil spirits drive away, But let Thy Spirit with me stay, 6 Until my soul the body leave; Then in Thy hands my soul receive, And let the earth my body keep, Till the last day shall break its sleep. 7 Joyful my resurrection be, Thou in the Judgment plead for me, And hide my sins, Lord, from Thy face, And give me Life of Thy dear grace! 8 Implicitly I trust Thee, Lord, For Thou hast promised in Thy Word: "In truth I tell you, who receives My word, and keeps it, and believes, 9 Shall never fall God's wrath beneath, Shall never taste eternal death; Though here he must return to dust, He still is noways therefore lost; 10 For I will with a mighty hand Deliver him from Death's strong band, And lift him hence that he shall be Forever in My realm with Me," 11 Forever living there in bliss." O let us not that glory miss! Dear Lord, forgive us all our guilt, Help us to wait until Thou wilt 12 That we depart; and let our faith Be brave, and conquer e'en in death, Firm resting on Thy sacred Word, Until we sleep in Thee, our Lord.

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

I lay my griefs on Jesus, My burdens and my cares; He from them all releases, He all my sorrows shares. 3 I rest my soul on Jesus, This weary soul of mine; His right hand me embraces, I on His breast recline. I love the name of Jesus, "God with us," Christ the Lord; Like fragrance on the breezes His name abroad is poured. 4 I long to be like Jesus, Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus, The Father's holy Child. I long to be with Jesus Amid the heav'nly throng To sing with saints His praises, To learn the angels' song. Topics: Mercy of God; Quinquagesima

Awake, My Heart, with Gladness

Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76; J. Kelly, 1833-90 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, my heart, with gladness, See what today is done; Now, after gloom and sadness, Comes forth the glorious Sun. My Savior there was laid Where our bed must be made When to the realms of light Our spirit wings its flight. 2 The foe in triumph shouted When Christ lay in the tomb, But, lo, he now is routed, His boast is turned to gloom. For Christ again is free; In glorious victory He who is strong to save Has triumphed o'er the grave. 3 This is a sight that gladdens-- What peace it doth impart! Now nothing ever saddens The joy within my heart. No gloom shall ever shake, No foe shall ever take The hope which God's own Son In love for me hath won. 4 Now hell, its prince, the devil, Of all their pow'r are shorn; Now I am safe from evil, And sin I laugh to scorn. Grim death with all his might Cannot my soul affright; He is a pow'rless form, Howe'er he rave and storm. 5 The world against me rageth, Its fury I disdain; Though bitter war it wageth, Its work is all in vain. My heart from care is free, No trouble troubles me. Misfortune now is play, And night is bright as day. 6 Now I will cling forever To Christ, my Savior true; My Lord will leave me never, Whate'er He passeth through. He rends death's iron chain; He breaks through sin and pain; He shatters hell's dark thrall; I follow Him through all. 7 To halls of heav'nly splendor With Him I penetrate; And trouble ne'er may hinder Nor make me hesitate. Let tempests rage at will, My Savior shields me still; He grants abiding peace And bids all tumult cease. 8 He brings me to the portal That leads to bliss untold Whereon this rime immortal Is found in script of gold: "Who there My cross hath shared Finds here a crown prepared; Who there with Me has died Shall here be glorified."

We All Believe in One True God

Author: M. Luther, 1483-1546 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We all believe in one true God, Who created earth and heaven, The Father, who to us in love Hath the right of children given. He both soul and body feedeth, All we need He doth provide us. He through snares and perils leadeth, Watching that no harm betide us. He careth for us day and night, All things are governed by His might. 2 We all believe in Jesus Christ, His own Son, our Lord, possessing An equal Godhead, throne, and might, Source of ev'ry grace and blessing. Born of Mary, virgin mother, By the power of the Spirit, Made true man, our elder Brother, That the lost might life inherit, Was crucified for sinful men And raised by God to life again. 3 We all confess the Holy Ghost, Who sweet grace and comfort giveth And with the Father and the Son In eternal glory liveth, Who the Church, His own creation, Keeps in unity of spirit; Here forgiveness and salvation Daily come through Jesus' merit. All flesh shall rise, and we shall be In bliss with God eternally. Topics: Creed Used With Tune: WIR GLAUBEN ALL Text Sources: Tr. composite

My courage shall not fail me, For God is on my side; Though hell itself assail me, Its rage I may deride. 2 There's nothing that can sever Me from the love of God, No want, no pain, whatever, No famine, peril, flood. Though thousand foes surround me, For slaughter mark Thy sheep, They never shall confound me, The vict'ry I shall reap. 3 Yea, neither life's temptation Nor death's so trying hour, Nor angels of high station, Nor any other pow'r, Nor things that now are present, Nor things that are to come, Nor height, however pleasant, Nor depths of deepest gloom. 4 Nor any creature ever Shall from the love of God This wretched sinner sever, For in my Savior's blood This love its fountain taketh; He hears my faithful prayer And nevermore forsaketh His own dear child and heir.
