"So Truly As I Live," God Saith
Author: N. Herman, c. 1480-1561; M. Loy, 1828-1915 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #417 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 "So truly as I love," God saith,
"I would not have the sinner's death,
But that he turn from error's ways,
Repent, and live through endless days."
2 To us therefore Christ gave command:
"Go forth and preach in ev'ry land;
Bestow on all My pard'ning grace
Who will repent and mend their ways.
3 "All those whose sins ye thus remit
I truly pardon and acquit,
And those whose sins ye do retain
Condemned and guilty shall remain.
4 "What ye shall bind, that bound shall be;
What ye shall loose, that shall be free;
Unto My Church the keys are giv'n
To ope and close the gates of heav'n."
5 They who believe when ye proclaim
The joyful tidings in My name
that I for them My blood have shed,
Are free from guilt and Judgment dread.
6 The words which absolution give
Are His who died that we might live;
The minister whom Christ has sent
Is but His humble instrument.
7 However great our sin may be,
The absolution sets us free,
Appointed by God's own dear son
To bring the pardon He has won.
8 When ministers lay on their hands,
Absolved by Christ the sinner stands;
He who by grace the Word believes
The purchase of His blood receives.
9 This is the pow'r of Holy Keys,
It binds and doth again release;
The Church e'er has them at her side,
Our Mother and Christ's holy Bride.
10 All praise, eternal Son, to Thee
For absolution full and free,
In which Thou showest forth Thy grace;
From false indulgence guard our race.
11 Praise God the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
As 'twas, is now, and so shall be
World without end, eternally!

"So Truly As I Live," God Saith
Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #49 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith,
I do not wish the sinner's death,
But that he turn from error's ways,
Repent, and live through endless days.
2 Hence Christ His servants gave command:
Go forth and preach in every land;
Pardon to every soul extend
That mourns, believes, and will amend.
3 Whose sins soever ye remit,
I truly pardon and acquit;
Whose sins soever ye retain,
Condemned and guilty shall remain.
4 What ye shall bind, that bound shall be;
What ye shall loose, that shall be free;
For unto you the keys are given
To ope or close the gates of heaven.
5 They who believe, when ye proclaim
The joyful tidings, in my name,
That I for them my blood have shed,
Are free from guilt and judgment dread.
6 Let those who stings of conscience bear,
Whom sin would drive to dark despair,
To Jesus come with trustful mind,
And peace in Absolution find. Topics: Absolution; Forgiveness of Sin Languages: English Tune Title: YEA, AS I LIVE, JEHOVAH SAITH
Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith
O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #50 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry,
Though all my crimes before Thee lie,
Behold them not with angry look,
But blot their memory from Thy book.
2 Create my nature pure within,
And form my soul averse to sin;
Let Thy good Spirit ne'er depart,
Nor hide Thy presence from my heart.
3 I cannot live without Thy light,
Cast out and banish from Thy sight;
Thy holy joys, my God, restore,
And guard me that I fall no more.
4 Though I have grieved Thy Spirit, Lord,
His help and comfort still afford;
And let me now come near Thy throne,
To plead the merits of Thy Son.
5 A broken heart, my God, my King!
Is all the sacrifice I bring:
But Thou, O Lord, will ne'er despise
A broken heart for sacrifice.
6 My soul lies humbled in the dust,
And owns Thy dreadful sentence just:
Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye,
And save the soul condemned to die.
7 Then will I teach the world Thy ways;
Sinners shall learn Thy sov'reign grace;
I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood,
And they shall praise a pard'ning God.
8 O may Thy love inspire my tongue;
Salvation shall be all my song,
And all my powers shall join to bless
The Lord, my strength and righteousness.
