Wohl Dem, Der In Gottesfurcht Steht

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wohl dem, der in Gottesfurcht steht, Und der auf seinem Wege geht; Dein eigen Hand dich nähren soll, So lebst du recht und geht dir wohl. 2 Dein Weib wird in dei’m Hause sein Wie ein’ Reben voll Trauben fein, Und dein’ Kinder um deinen Tisch Wie Ölpflanzen, gesund und frisch. 3 Sich so reich Segen hängt dem an, Wo in Gottes Furcht lebt ein Mann, Von ihm lässt der alt’ Fluch und Zorn, Den Menschenkindern angebor’n. 4 Aus Zion wird Gott segnen dich, Dass du wirst schauen stetiglich Das Glück der Stadt Jerusalem, Für Gott in Gnaden angenehm. 5 Fristen wird er das Leben dein Und mit Güte stets bei dir sein, Dass du sehen wirst Kindes Kind Und dass Israel Friede findt.

We praise, dear Lord, Thy Name divine, For Thou hast triumphed o'er the tomb; No more we need to dread its gloom. 2 The tree where Thou wast offered up Now bears the fruit of life and hope: Thy precious blood for us is shed, Now we may feed on heav'nly bread. 3 We thank Thee, Jesus, that Thy hand Has freed us from sin's galling band; No more its thralldome we need fear; The year of liberty is here. 4 O Jesus Christ, God's Son elect, Our Paschal Lamb without defect, To us Thou givest strength indeed, In all our conflicts, all our need. 5 O grant, that as Thou didst arise, We, too, with joy, may heavenward rise, First from our sin, to love Thy way, Then from the grave on that great Day. 6 All praise to Thee who from death's might, From carnal lust and sin's dark plight Redeemest me, that even I May reach eternal life on high. Amen.

Blood Has A Voice To Pierce The Skies

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blood has a voice to pierce the skies, "Revenge!" the blood of Abel cries; But the dear stream when Christ was slain Speaks peace as loud from every vein. 2 Pardon and peace from God on high; Behold, He lays His vengeance by, And rebels that deserved His sword Become the favorites of the Lord. 3 To Jesus let our praises rise Who gave His life a sacrifice; Now He appears before His God, And for our pardon pleads His blood.

The King of Saints, How Fair His Face

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 86 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The King of saints, how fair His face; Adorned with majesty and grace! He comes with blessings from above, And wins the nations to His love. 2. At His right hand our eyes behold The queen arrayed in purest gold; The world admires her heav’nly dress, Her robe of joy and righteousness. 3. He forms her beauties like His own; He calls and seats her near His throne; Fair stranger, let thine heart forget The idols of thy native state. 4. So shall the King the more rejoice In Thee, the favorite of His choice; Let Him be loved and yet adored, For He’s thy Maker and thy Lord. 5. O happy hour, when thou shalt rise To His fair palace in the skies, And all thy sons (a numerous train) Each like a prince in glory reign! 6. Let endless honors crown His head; Let every age His praises spread; While we with cheerful songs approve The condescensions of His love.

My Refuge Is the God of Love

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 60 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My refuge is the God of love; Why do my foes insult and cry, Fly like a timorous, trembling dove, To distant woods or mountains fly? 2. If government be all destroyed, That firm foundation of our peace, And violence make justice void, Where shall the righteous seek redress? 3. The Lord in Heav’n has fixed His throne, His eye surveys the world below: To Him all mortal things are known, His eyelids search our spirits through. 4. If He afflicts His saints so far, To prove their love and try their grace, What may the bold transgressors fear? His very soul abhors their ways. 5. On impious wretches He shall rain Tempests of brimstone, fire and death; Such as He kindled on the plain Of Sodom, with His angry breath. 6. The righteous Lord loves righteous souls, Whose thoughts and actions are sincere; And with a gracious eye beholds The men that His own image bear.

How Blessed Is This Place, O Lord

Author: Ernest Edwin Ryden Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How blessed is this place, O Lord, Where Thou art worshiped and adored; Our faith would here an altar raise Unto Thy glory, God of praise! 2 Here let Thy sacred fire of old Descend to kindle spirits cold; And may our prayers, when here we bend, Like incense sweet to Thee ascend. 3 Here let the weary one find rest, The aching heart a comfort blest, The guilty soul a sure retreat, The sinner pardon at Thy feet. 4 Here gather us around Thy board To keep the feast with Thee, dear Lord, And when in faith our souls draw near, May we discern Thy presence here. 5 And when these earthly Sabbaths cease, O may our souls depart in peace, Around Thy glorious throne to meet, And find it, Lord, a mercy-seat!

We Long for Mighty Signs of God

Author: Hermann I. Weinlick, 1937- Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 We long for mighty signs of God— Cathedral, miracle, and sword, His power and glory written plain— So none may doubt that He is Lord. 2 But poor, in weakness, comes the Christ; His glory gone, no king we see; A servant Lord, no praise He seeks. Thus comes God’s power to such as we. 3 God’s work we cannot boldly trace, Yet even in us His Spirit flows. Our stumbling does not halt His course; Where we least think, He surely goes. 4 Not in our own strength, Lord, we move; Thy Kingdom falls not when we fall But forward presses day by day Until Thy truth is known by all.
