Wilt Thou mercy show to me? Can I hope to find a pardon? I will trust: my soul relieve! Me, a sinner, Lord, receive! 6 Rich thy mercy--strangely good! O how oft have I offended! But, through Thy redeeming blood All my fear of wrath is ended: Yes, I now can witness give: Jesus sinners doth receive! 7 Now my conscience is at peace; From the Law I stand acquitted; Christ hath purchased my release, And my every sin remitted. Naught remains my soul to grieve; Jesus sinners doth receive. 8 Jesus sinners doth receive! Happy in His ceaseless favor, Here for heaven I will live, There shall live with Him forever, Joy in death these tidings give-- "Jesus sinners doth receive!"

Midnight's solemn hour is tolling, His chariot wheels are nearer rolling; He comes; prepare, ye virgins wise. Rise up; with willing feet Go forth, the Bridegroom meet; Hallelujah! Bear through the night your well-trimmed light. Speed forth to join the marriage rite. 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, Her heart with deep delight is springing, At once she wakes, she hastens glorious, In grace arrayed, by truth victorious; Her grief is joy, her night is day: All hail, incarnate Lord, Our crown, and our reward! Hallelujah! We hast alone, in pomp of song, And gladsome join the marriage throng. 3 Hear Thy praise, O Lord, ascending From tongues of men and angels, blending With harp and lute and psaltery. By Thy pearly gates in wonder We stand, and swell the voice of thunder, In bursts of choral melody: No vision ever brought, No ear hath ever caught, Such bliss and joy: We raise the song, we swell the throng, To praise Thee ages all along. Tune Title: [Wake, awake, for night is flying]

Jesus Christ, my sure defense

I, too, unto life shall waken: He will have me where He is; Shall my courage then be shaken? Shall I fear? Or can the Head Rise and leave its members dead? 3 Nay, too closely am I bound Unto Him by hope for ever; Faith's strong hand the rock hath found, Grasped it, and will leave it never; Not the ban of death can part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4 I shall see God with these eyes, Shall behold my blessed Savior; I, the selfsame, shall arise, In my flesh see god forever; Then shall wholly disappear Frailties that oppress me here. 5 What now sickens, mourns, and sighs, Christ with Him in glory bringeth: Earthly is the seed and dies, Heavenly from the grave it springeth. Glorified we then shall rise To our mansion in the skies. 6 Savior, draw away our heart Now from pleasures base and hollow, Let us there with Thee have part, Here on earth Thy footsteps follow. Fix our hearts beyond the skies, Whither we ourselves would rise. Tune Title: [Jesus Christ, my sure defense]

Tune Title: [Soon will the heavenly Bridegroom come]

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #512 (1913) Topics: The Church Year Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Behold the Bridegroom cometh in the middle of the night, And blest is he whose loins are girt, whose lamp is burning bright; But woe to that dull servant, whom the Master shall surprise With lamp untrimmed, unburning and with slumber in his eyes. 2 Do thou, my soul, beware, beware lest thou in sleep sink down, Lest thou be given o’er to death, and lose the golden crown; But see that thou be sober, with a watchful eye, and thus Cry, "Holy, holy, holy God, have mercy upon us!" 3 That day, the day of fear, shall come; my soul, slack not thy toil, But light thy lamp, and feed it well, and make it bright with oil; Who knowest not how soon may sound the cry at eventide, "Behold the Bridegroom comes! Arise! He come to meet the Bride!" 4 Beware, my soul! take thou good heed lest thou in slumber lie, And, like the five, remain without, and knock, and vainly cry; But watch, and bear thy lamp undimmed, and Christ shall gird thee on His own bright wedding robe of light,--the glory of the Son. Tune Title: [Behold the Bridegroom cometh in the middle of the night]

Thou my wretched soul relieve In that last extremest terror When the body she must leave: Let the Accuser of the brethren O'er me then no power receive! 3 Let the Prince of darkness vanish, And Gehenna's legions fly! Shepherd, Thou Thy sheep, thus ransomed, To Thy country lead on high, Where for ever in fruition I may see Thee eye to eye! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETER'S

Vi kaste atter Garnet

Author: Landstad Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #481 (1919) Topics: Fifth Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 Vi kaste atter Garnet, O Herre, paa dit Bud, Vi ville fange Sjæle, Og drage dem til Gud. Men mangen ærlig Peder Har sine Garn udsat, Og har dog intet fanget Den hele ganske Nat. 2 Ja, Natten ligger over Det dybe Folke-Hav, Og i de kolde Baarer Er mørkt som i en Grav; Frimodigheden brister, Og Tvilen tager til– Hvor længe, ak, hvor længe, Før du os hjælpe vil! 3 Drag ud, drag ud paa Dybet, Og kaster til en Dræt! Saa lyder din Befaling Til ham, som sidder træt; Han sidder træt ved Stranden Af frugtesløs Besvær, Men se! nu træder Herren, Den stærke Gud ham nær. 4 Da reiser sig den Svage, Og gaar i Jesu Navn: Ja vel! paa dit Ord vende Paa Dybet vi vor Stavn! O se, hvor nu det lykkes, Hvor Fansten den er stor! Det var imod Forhaabning, Det var paa Herrens Ord. 5 O ja, paa dit Ord, Herre! Saa skal det atter ske Om vi ei leve Dagen, At vi kan Fangsten se. Der kommer bedre Tider, Da Baaden bliver fuld, Guds Fangst vi haabes vorde, Og han vor Herre huld! Languages: Norwegian
