Thee Lord, Our God, We Praise

Luther Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #356 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Praise; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Praise; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Praise Lyrics: 1 Thee Lord, our God, we praise, To Thee, God, thanks we raise, All the earth doth worship Thee, Father in eternity; All angels and the heavenly host Vying who may praise Thee most. All Cherubim and Seraphim, Ever tuning the lofty hymn: "Holy art Thou, our God! Holy art Thou, our God! Holy art Thou, our God! Jehovah Saboath!" 2 Thy glorious power and mighty name Rise over heaven and nature's frame. The holy twelve Apostles all, The Prophets Thou of old didst call, The martyrs goodly company-- Send up their hymns of praise to Thee. All Christendom with one accord Exalt and praise their common Lord-- Thee, Father, on Thy lofty throne, Thy well-beloved, Only Son, The Holy Ghost, the Comforter, They praise and honor evermore. 3 O Christ, to Thee, the glorious King, Eternal Son of God, we sing. To save our race from sin forlorn Thou camest, of chaste virgin born; Thou didst endure death's sharpest pain, And open heaven for us again. As equal there at God's right hand Thou sittest in supreme command. Thou, our exalted risen Head, Wilt be the Judge of quick and dead. 4 Now help us, Lord, Thy servants here, Whom Thou hast saved with blood so dear, Let us have portion with the blest In Thine eternal, glorious rest. Lord Jesus, bless Thine heritage, And shield Thy fold from age to age. Protect and nurse Thine own with care, Then let them endlessly glory share. 5 Daily, our God, we'll sing Thy praise, And bless Thy name throughout our days. Keep us, O Lord, throughout this day From sin and every evil way: Have mercy upon us, O Lord; In all our need Thy grace afford; Thy mercy unto us e'er show, It is our only hope below. Dear Lord! our hopes all rest in Thee, Oh! let us ne'er confounded be. Amen! Languages: English

And, oh! shall man awake no more To see Thy face, Thy name to sing? 3 Cease, cease, ye vain desponding fears! When Christ, our Lord, from darkness sprung, Death, the last foe, was captive led, And heav'n with praise and wonder rung. 4 Him, the First-Fruits, His chosen sons Shall follow from the vanquished grave; He mounts His throne, the King of kings, His Church to quicken and to save. 5 Faith sees the bright, eternal doors Unfold to make His children way; They shall be clothed with endless life, And shine in everlasting day. 6 The trump shall sound, the dust awake; And from the tomb the slumb'rers spring; Through heav'n the joyful myriads rise, And hail their Savior and their King.

O veil them over With merits of Thy dying Son! I here Thy richest grace discover, Here find I peace, and here alone; And for His sake, when flesh shall fail, O God, with me may it be well! 3 His bleeding wounds give me assurance That Thy free mercy will abide; Here strength I find for death's endurance, And hope for all I need beside: For Jesus' sake, when flesh shall fail, O God, with me may it be well! 4 Naught shall my soul from Jesus sever, Nor life, nor death; things high nor low: I take Him as my Lord forever, My future trust, as He is now; And for His sake, when flesh shall fail, O God, with me may it be well.

There is a land of pure delight

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #453 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Eternal day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. There everlasting spring abides, And never-with'ring flowers: Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heav’nly land from ours. 2 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood, Stand dressed in living green: So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. But tim'rous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea; And linger, shivering, on the brink, And fear to launch away. 3 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy thoughts that rise, And view the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes! Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o’er, Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood, Should fright us from the shore. Languages: English Tune Title: VARINA

Who knew no sin and no deceiving

George Cronenwett Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #402 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Who knew no sin and no deceiving, Has borne my sin and my distress; And I by grace in Him believing, Now deck me with His righteousness. As He is sinner to my good, So I am holy through His blood. 2 Nay not in me, self-righteous were it, On God's grace rests my holiness; He looks on Christ's atoning merit, And counts this as my righteousness: This I believe, and hence my claim, That I am holy in His Name. 3 In Christ, by faith then, I am holy, In self though 'tis not yet the case; But I will likewise now so wholly Seek e'er in life to walk by grace, That soul and body may remain All blameless till Christ come again. 4 I will devote my every member To serve in righteousness God's will, Then when I falter, e'er remember That I may trust God's mercy still; And pray that God would guide through strife, That I may lead a holy life. 5 Thus will I walk, O God, before Thee, That my light too may shine alway And that I by my life adore Thee, Till I at length on that great day In life and self shall holy be, And wholly perfect, Lord, with Thee.

Calm, though the death's long night be fraught Still with many an anxious tho't? 2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives, And His life I once shall see; Bright the hope the promise gives, Where He is I too shall be. Shall I fear then? Can the Head Rise and leave the members dead? 3 Close to Him my soul is bound! In the bonds of hope enclasped; Faith's strong hand this soul hath found, And the Rock hath firmly grasped; Death shall ne'er my soul remove From her refuge in Thy love. 4 I shall see Him with these eyes-- Him whom I shall surely know; Not another shall I rise, With His love this heart shall glow; Only there shall disappear Weakness in and round me here. 5 Ye who suffer, sigh, and moan, Fresh and glorious there shall reign; Earthly here the seed is sown, Heavenly it shall rise again; Natural here the death we die, Spiritual our life on high. 6 Body, be thou of good cheer, In thy Savior's care rejoice; Give not place to gloom and fear-- Dead, thou yet shalt know His voice, When the final trump is heard, And the deaf, cold grave is stirred. 7 Laugh to scorn then death and hell, Laugh to scorn the gloomy grave; Caught into the air to dwell With the Lord who comes to save, We shall trample on our foes, Mortal weakness, fear and woes. 8 Only see ye that your heart Rise betimes from earthly lust; Would ye there with Him have part, Here obey your Lord and trust, Fix your hearts beyond the skies, Whither ye yourselves would rise.

How blest are all whose hearts unite In bonds of piety! 2 From those celestial springs, Such streams of comfort flow, As no increase of riches brings, Nor honors can bestow. 3 All in their stations move, And each performs his part, In all the cares of life and love, With sympathizing heart. 4 Formed for the purest joys, By one desire possesed, One aim the zeal of all employs, To make each other blest. 5 No bliss can equal theirs, Where such affections meet; While praise devout, and mingled pray'rs, Make their communion sweet. 6 'Tis the same pleasure fills The breast in worlds above, Where joy like morning dew distils, And all the air is love.

Not for the hope of winning heav'n, Nor of escaping hell; 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught, Not seeking a reward; But solely for Thy love to me, O ever-loving Lord? 6 E’en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing, Alone because Thou art my God, And my eternal King.

Every soul that God inspires, Back to Him, its Source, aspires. 3 Heavenward! doth His Spirit cry, Oft as in His word I hear Him; Pointing to the rest on high Where I shall be ever near Him. When His Word fills all my thought, Oft to heaven my soul is caught. 4 Heavenward still I long to haste, When Thy Supper, Lord, is given; Heavenly strength on earth I taste, Feeding on the Bread of Heaven; Such is e'en on earth our fare, Who Thy marriage feast will share. 5 Heavenward! To that blessed home Death at last will surely lead me; All my trials overcome, Christ with life and joy will feed me; Who Himself hath gone before That we too might heavenward soar. 6 Heavenward! This shall be my cry While a pilgrim here I wander, Passing earth's allurements by For the love of what is yonder; Heavenward all my being tends, Till in Heaven my journey ends.

There clouds and tempests, raging, Have each their path assigned; Will God, for thee engaging, No way of safety find? 2 Trust in the Lord! His favor Will for thy wants provide; Regard His word!--and ever Thy work shall safe abide. When sorrows here o'ertake thee, And self-inflicted care, Let not thy God forsake thee! He listens for thy prayer. 3 Should Satan league his forces, God's purpose to withstand, Think not their rage and curses Can stay His lifted hand! When He makes known His pleasure, The counsel of His will, That, in its utmost measure, Will He at last fulfill. 4 Hope on then, weak believer, Hope on, and falter not! He will thy soul deliver From deeps of troubled thought. Thy graces will He nourish, With hope thy heart employ, Till faith and hope shall flourish And yield their fruits of joy. 5 Well blest, His grace receiving, God owns thee for a son! With joy, and with thanksgiving, Behold the victor's crown! Thy hand the palm-branch raises, God gives it thee to bear; Then sing aloud His praises, Who has removed thy care. 6 The sorrows, Lord, that try us, O bring them to an end! With needed strength supply us! Thy love to us commend! That we, till death pursuing Thy best, Thy chosen way, May then, our life renewing, Praise Thee in endless day.

Hark! a voice saith, all are mortal

For in my Redeemer's merit Peace hath found my troubled spirit, And in death my comfort is Jesus' death--sweet comfort this! 3 Jesus died for me, O hear it! And His death is all my gain; Shall I then, yet wav'ring, fear it, Since with Christ I rise again? Joyfully I'll quit earth's sadness For the beauteous heaven of gladness; Where I shall forevermore See the Triune, and adore! 4 There is life, life never ending, Where so many saints are gone, Where in light the thousands blending Worship God before the throne. Seraphim there flit before us, Swelling heaven with august chorus: "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord! God Triune, for aye adored!" 5 Worthies, there, of sacred story, Prophets, patriarchs, are met; There apostles too in glory Fill twelve thrones by Jesus set; All the saints that have ascended Age on age, through time extended, There, in blissful concert, sing Hallelujahs to their King. 6 O Jerusalem, how golden Dost thou shine, thou city blest! Sweetly thy near tones embolden My winged soul to seek my rest. O the bliss that there surprises! Lo, the sun of morn now rises, And the breaking day I see, That shall never end for me! 7 Yea, I see what here was told me, See that wondrous glory shine, Feel the spotless robes enfold me, Know a golden crown is mine; Thus I stand and look before me To the throne that rises o'er me, Gazing on that joy for aye, That shall never pass away!
