Light of light, from God proceeding, Open Thou our ears and heart, Help us by Thy Spirit’s pleading, Hear the cry Thy people raises, Hear and bless our prayers and praises. 4 Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Praise to Thee and adoration! Grant that we Thy Word may trust, And obtain true consolation, While we here below must wander, Till we sing Thy praises yonder.

To God, the Father of all love

Author: J. Schütz Hymnal: HELC1886 #6 (1886) Lyrics: 1 To God, the Father of all love, the God of earth and heaven, The mighty God who reigns above, be praise and glory given! With healing balm my soul He fills, And every pain and sorrow stills; To God all praise and glory! 2 The angel host, O King of kings, Thy praise forever telling, In earth and sky all living things Beneath Thy shadow dwelling, Adore and praise their Maker's might, Whose wisdom orders all things right; To God all praise and glory! 3 What God's almighty power hath made, His gracious mercy keepeth; By morning glow or evening shade His watchful eye ne'er sleepeth; Within the kingdom of His might, Lo, all is just and all is right; To God all praise and glory! 4 I cried to God in my distress, His mercy heard me calling; My Saviour saw my helplessness, And kept my feet from falling; For this, Lord, praise and thanks to Thee! Praise God Most High, praise God with me! To God all praise and glory! 5 The Lord forsaketh not His flock, His chosen generation; He is their refuge and their rock, Their peace and their salvation; And with a mother's watchful love He guides them wheresoe'er they rove; To God all praise and glory! 6 When earth can comfort us no more, Nor human help availeth, The Maker comes Himself, whose store Of blessing never faileth, And bends on them a Father's eyes Whom earth all rest and hope denies; To God all praise and glory! 7 Thus all my pilgrim way along I'll sing aloud Thy praises, That men may hear the grateful song My voice unwearied raises; Be joyful in the Lord, my heart! Both soul and body, bear your part! To God all praise and glory! 8 Ye who confess Christ's holy name, To God give praise and glory! Ye who the Father's power proclaim, To God give praise and glory! All idols under foot be trod, The Lord is God! The Lord is God! To God all praise and glory! 9 Then come before His presence now, And banish fear and sadness; To your Redeemer pay your vow, And sing with joy and gladness: Though great distress my soul befell, The Lord my God did all things well; To God all praise and glory!

O Lord, how shall I meet Thee

Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: HELC1886 #7 (1886) Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how shall I meet Thee, how welcome Thee aright? All nations long to greet Thee, My hope, my heart’s delight! O kindle, dearest Jesus, Thy lamp within my breast, That I may know what pleases Thee, Lord, my heavenly guest. 2 Thy Zion strews before Thee Green boughs and fairest palms, And I too will adore Thee With sweetest songs and psalms. My heart shall bloom forever For Thee with praises new, And from Thy name shall never Withhold the honor due. 3 What hast Thou left ungranted, To give me glad relief? When soul and body panted In utmost depth of grief, In deepest degradation, Devoid of joy and peace, Then Thou, my soul's Salvation, Didst come to bring release. 4 I lay in fetters groaning, Thou com’st to set me free; I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou com’st to honor me; A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail nor leave me As earthly riches fly. 5 Naught, naught, dear Lord, could move Thee To leave Thy rightful place Save love, for which I love Thee; A love that could embrace A world where sorrow dwelleth, Which sin and suffering fill, More than the tongue e'er telleth;-- Yet Thou couldst love it still! 6 Rejoice, then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o’er joys departed, And tremble at your doom: Despair not, He is near you, Yea, standing at the door, Who best can help and cheer you, And bid you weep no more. 7 No care, nor effort either, Is needed day or night, How ye may draw Him hither In your own strength and might. He comes, He comes with gladness, Moved by His love alone, To calm your fear and sadness, Which unto Him are known. 8 Sin's debt, that fearful burden, Let not your souls distress; Your guilt the Lord will pardon And cover with His grace. He comes, He comes procuring The peace of sin forgiven, For all God's son's securing Their part and lot in heaven. 9 Why should the wicked move you? Heed not their craft and spite! Your Saviour, who doth love you, Will scatter all their might. He comes, a King most glorious, And all His earthly foes In vain His course victorious Endeavor to oppose. 10 He comes to judge the nations, A terror to His foes, A Light of consolations And blessed hope to those Who love the Lord's appearing. O glorious Sun, now come, Send forth Thy beams so cheering, And guide us safely home! Topics: The Church Year Languages: English Tune Title: [O Lord, how shall I meet Thee]

From heaven above to earth I come

Author: Dr. M. Luther Hymnal: HELC1886 #9 (1886) Lyrics: 1 From heaven above to earth I come to bear good news to ev'ry home; glad tidings of great joy I bring, whereof I now will say and sing. 2 To you this night is born a child Of Mary, chosen Virgin mild; This little child, of lowly birth, Shall be the joy of all the earth. 3 This is the Christ, our God and Lord, Who in all need shall aid afford; He will Himself your Saviour be, From all your sins will make you free. 4 He brings those blessings, long ago Prepared by God for all below, That in His heavenly kingdom blest You may with us forever rest. 5 These are the tokens ye shall mark, The swaddling-clothes and manger dark; There shall ye find the young child laid, By whom the heavens and earth were made. 6 Now let us all with gladsome cheer Follow the shepherds, and draw near To see this wondrous gift of God, Who hath His own dear Son bestowed. 7 Give heed, my heart, lift up thine eyes! What is it in yon manger lies? Who is this child, so young and fair? Dear little Jesus lieth there. 8 Welcome to earth, Thou noble Guest, Through whom the sinful world is blest! Thou com'st to share my misery, What thanks shall I return to Thee? 9 Ah! Lord, who hast created all, How hast Thou made Thee weak and small, That Thou must lie on coarse dry grass, The food of humble ox and ass! 10 And were the world ten times as wide, With gold and jewels beautified, It would be far too small to be A narrow cradle, Lord, for Thee. 11 For velvets soft and silken stuff Thou hast but hay and straw so rough, Whereon Thou King, so rich and great, As 't were Thy heaven, art throned in state. 12 And thus, dear Lord, it pleasèd Thee To make this truth quite plain to me, That this world's honor, wealth, and might Are naught and worthless in Thy sight. 13 Ah! dearest Jesus, holy Child, Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled, Within my heart, that it may be A quiet chamber kept for Thee. 14 My heart for very joy doth leap, My lips no more can silence keep; I, too, must sing with joyful tongue That sweetest ancient cradle-song: 15 Glory to God in highest heaven, Who unto man His Son hath given! While angels sing with pious mirth A glad New Year to all the earth. Topics: The Church Year Languages: English Tune Title: [From heaven above to earth I come]

The old year now hath passed away

Author: J. Steuerlein Hymnal: HELC1886 #10 (1886) Lyrics: 1 The old year now hath passed away, we thank Thee, Christ of Lord, today, that Thou hast kept us through the year, when danger and distress were near. 2 We pray Thee, O Eternal Son, Who with the Father reign’st as One, To guard and rule Thy Christendom Through all the ages yet to come. 3 Take not Thy saving Word away, Our souls’ true comfort, staff, and stay; Abide with us, and keep us free From all false doctrines graciously. 4 O help us to forsake all sin, A new and holier course begin; From last year's sins, Lord, hide Thy face, In this new ear grant us Thy grace: 5 That as true Christians we may live, Or die in peace that Thou canst give, To rise again when Thou shalt come, And enter our eternal home. 6 There shall we thank Thee, and adore, With all the angels evermore; Lord Jesus Christ, increase our faith To praise Thy Name through life and death.
