O Enter, Lord, Thy Temple

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O enter, Lord, Thy temple, Be Thou my spirit's guest, Who gavest me, the earth-born, A second birth more blest. Thou in the Godhead, Lord, Though here to dwell Thou deignest, For ver equal reignest, Art equally adored. 2 O enter, let me know Thee And feel Thy pow'r within, The pow'r that breaks our fetters And rescues us from sin; So wash and cleanse Thou me That I may serve Thee truly And render honor duly With perfect heart to Thee. 3 A branch I was most barren, But now bear fruit thro' Thee; Once death my life pervaded, But Thou hast quickened me In Thy baptismal flood, That washing of salvation, Which drowns death and damnation Thro' Christ the Savior's blood. 4 'Tis Thou, O Spirit, teachest The soul to pray aright; Thy songs have sweetest music, Thy prayers have wondrous might: Unheard they cannot fall, They pierce the highest heaven, Till He His help hath given Who surely helpeth all. 5 Our ways in all things order According to Thy mind; And when this life is ended, When all must be resigned, O grant that we may die With calm and fearless spirit And after death inherit Eternal life on high.

To God the Anthem Raising

Author: Paul Eber; Carl Døving Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. To God the anthem raising, Sing, Christians, great and small; Sing out, His goodness praising, Oh, thank Him, one and all! Behold how God this year, Which now is safely ended, Hath in His love befriended His children far and near. 2. Let us consider rightly His mercies manifold, And let us not think lightly Of all His gifts untold. Let thankfulness recall How God this year hath led us, How He hath clothed and fed us, The great ones and the small. 3. To church and state He granted His peace in every place, His vineyard He hath planted Among us by His grace, His ever bounteous hand Prosperity hath given And want and famine driven From this our native land. 4. His Father heart is yearning To take us for His own When, our transgressions mourning, We trust in Christ alone; When in His name we pray And humbly make confession, He pardons our transgression And is our faithful stay. 5. Our God hath well defended, Hath kept us through His grace; But if He had contended With us our sins to trace And given us our meed, We all would then be lying In sin and sorrow, dying, Each one for his misdeed. 6. O Father dear in Heaven, For all Thy gifts of love Which Thou to us hast given We lift our thanks above. In Jesus’ name we here, To Thee our prayers addressing, Still ask Thee for Thy blessing: Grant us a joyful year. Used With Tune: HELFT MIR GOTT'S GÜTE

Come, Let Us All, With Fervor

Author: Paul Eber, 1511-1569; Johann C. Jacobi Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us all, with fervor, On whom Heav’n’s mercies shine, To our supreme preserver In tuneful praises join. Another year is gone; Of which the tender mercies (Each pious heart rehearses) Demand a grateful song. 2 Tell o’er, with true devotion, The wonders of His grace: Let no polluting notion Our gratitude deface. But still remember well, That this year’s renovation Renews our obligation To fight ’gainst sin and hell. 3 His grace is still preserving Our peace in church and state; His love is never swerving, In spite of Satan’s hate. Dispensed with open hand, His blessings on this nation Still ward off desolation, And save a sinful land. 4 ’Tis His eternal kindness That spares us from the rod. Tho’ long our willful blindness Has sore provoked our God To pour His vengeance down; Yet still His grace provides us, And still His mercy hides us, From His own dreadful frown. 5 The source of all compassion Pities our feeble frame When, turning from transgression, We come in Jesus’ name Before His holy face; Then every sinful motion Is cast into the ocean Of never-failing grace. 6 To Christ our peace is owing: Through Him Thou art appeased. Through Him Thy love’s still flowing: O! wilt Thou then be pleased, Through Christ Thy grace to send, In all its strength and beauty, To keep us in our duty, ’Till these frail days shall end.

Guds Godhed vil vi prise

Author: Paul Eber; Rasm. Katholm Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Guds Godhed vil vi prise, Vi Kristne, Store, Smaa, Hen op med Sang og Vise At takke hannem gaa, For de Velgjerninger, Som dette Aar forgangen Han haver gjort saa Mangen Alt haabe fjern og nær. 2 Først lader os betragte Den Herre Guds Miskund, Og ikke ringe agte Hans Godhed mangelund. Med Tak vi tænke paa, Hvad han iaar har givet. Mad, Drikke, Klæder, Livet Fro Store og for Smaa. 3 Embeder, Skoler, Kirke Gav han god Ro og Fred, Og lad sin Vingaard dyrke Hos os paa dette Sted! Udaf hans milde Haand Er god Tider blevet, Fordærvelsen bortdrevet Fra diss kristne Land. 4 Han haver os bevaret, Og været naadefuld, Men havde han fremfaret Efter vor Synd og Skyld, Og sendt sin Straf herind, Vi havde længst vær't øde, Af Sorg og Skade døde Hver for Misgjerning sin. 5 Hans Fader-Hjerte kjendes Herudi mod os vist; Naar vi fra Synden vendes, Og tro paa Jesum Krist, Og ærlig til ham gaar, Forlader han os Brøden, Formindsker dertil Nøden, Og trolig med os staar. 6 For saadan' Mildheds Gaver, O Fader i Himmerig, Som du os givet haver, Vi takke inderlig! I Jesu Navn vi staar Og bede dig saa saare: Læg os god Lykke fore, Giv os et glædigt Aar! (Giv os et fredligt Aar! Giv os et frugtbart Aar!)
