A broken heart, my God, my King!

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a240 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A broken heart, my God, my King! Is all the sacrifice I bring: The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice. 2 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. 3 Then will I teach the world Thy ways; Sinner shall learn Thy sov'reign grace; I'll lead them to my Savior's blood, And they shall praise a pard'ning God. 4 O may Thy love inspire my tongue; Salvation shall be all my song, And all my power shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness.

A great and mighty wonder

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a35 (1895) Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder Our Christmas festal brings: On earth, a lowly Infant, Behold the King of kings. 2 The Word is made incarnate, Descending from on high; And Cherubim to shepherds Sing anthems from the sky. 3 And we with them triumphant, Repeat the hymn again: "To God on high be glory, And peace on earth to men!" 4 While thus they sing your Monarch, Those bright angelic bands, Rejoice, ye vales and mountains! Ye oceans, clap your hands! 5 Since all He comes to ransom, By all be He adored, The Infant born in Bethlehem, The Savior and the Lord! 6 And idol-forms shall perish, And error shall decay, And Christ shall wield His scepter, Our Lord and God for aye.

A holy state is wedded life

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a343 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A holy state is wedded life And blest, where God joins man and wife: A type of Jesus and His Bride, Beloved and honored at His side. 2 Where manly worth and gentle grace In godliness keep step apace, There wedded love grows never stale, Nor heaven's blessings ever fail. 3 Where by the Word the Lord is Guest, And all through faith and prayer is blest, There with God's grace will all be filled, And God Himself that house will build. 4 The skillful hand and stronger arm, Still plied with zeal and ardor warm, With watchful eye and frugal care, Full soon a competence prepare. 5 This chaste estate of Paradise, Is left to man below the skies; Prolific harbinger of good, Perennial fount of brotherhood: 6 From this all stations emanate, The Home the Church, and Powers of State; Blest nursery of virtuous worth, Be thou held sacred still on earth!

A hymn of glory let us sing

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a94 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A hymn of glory let us sing; New hymns throughout the world shall ring; By a new way none ever trod, Christ mounteth to the throne of God. 2 May our affections thither tend, And thither constantly ascend, Where, seated on the Father's throne, Thee, reigning in the heavens, we own! 3 Be Thou our present Joy, O Lord! Who wilt be ever our Reward: And as the countless ages flee, May all our glory be in Thee! Topics: The Church Year Ascension Languages: English

A Lamb bears all the guilt away

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a67 (1895) Lyrics: 1 A Lamb bears all its guilt away The world thus to deliver, All sins of sinners patiently It bears and murmurs never. It goes, and weak and sick is made, An offering on the altar laid, All pleasure it forsaketh, Submits to shame, and scorn, and wrath, To anguish, wounds, stripes, cross, and death, This cup with gladness taketh. 2 This spotless Lamb, our soul’s great Friend, And everlasting Savior, God chooseth sin’s dread reign to end And bring us to His favor. Go forth, my Son! redeem to Thee The children who’re exposed by me To punishment and anger. The punishment is great, and dread The wrath, but Thou Thy blood shalt shed, And free them thus this danger. 3 Shrine of my heart! now opened be, To thee shall now be given Fair treasures that far greater be Than earth, and sea, and heaven. Away, gold of Arabia, Myrrh, calamus, and cassia! Far better I discover. My priceless treasure is, O Thou My Jesus! what so freely now From Thy wounds floweth over! 4 And when at last heav’n’s gate I see, And taste the kingdom’s pleasure, This blood shall then my purple be, I’ll clothe me in this treasure; It shall be then my glorious crown, In which I’ll stand before the throne Of God, with none to blame me; And as a bride in fair array, I’ll stand beside my Lord that day, Who woo’d, and then will claim me.

A little child, the Savior came

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a347 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A little child, the Savior came, The mighty God was still His Name; And angels worshipped as He lay, The seeming infant of a day. 2 He who a little child began Saved children, too, by sin defiled, And still proclaims the message free: Let little children come to Me. 3 We bring, at Thy beloved behest, Thy heirs in Holy Baptism blest, Through Christian nurture, faith, and prayer, That they may all Thy blessings share. 4 O give Thine angels charge, good Lord! To keep them Thy way and Word; Be throughout life Thy blessings given, And in the end take them to heaven. Topics: The Catechism The Christian Household Languages: English

A tower of strength our God is still!

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a144 (1895) Lyrics: 1 A tower of strength our God is still! A mighty Shield and Weapon; He is our help from all the ill That hath us now o'ertaken. The old bitter foe Now means deadly woe: Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight, On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours here naught is done, Our loss were soon effected: But for us fights the Valiant One, Who God Himself elected. Ask you: "Who is He?" Christ Jesus: here see Great Sabaoth's Lord! There is no other God: His is the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All watching to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They cannot overpower us. This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, He can harm us none, For he is judged—undone; One little Word o'erthrows him. 4 The Word of God they shall let stand And not a thank have for it, Here Christ Himself leads the command With His great gifts and Spirit; And take they our life, Goods, fame, child and wife, When their worst is done, They yet have nothing won; The kingdom ours remaineth.
