Abide with Us, the Day Is Waning

Author: C. J. Boye, 1791-1853; O. H. Smeby, 1851-1929 Hymnal: ELH1996 #563 (1996) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Abide with us, the day is waning; Thus prayed the two while on the way. We read that Thou, 0 Lord, remaining, Didst all their doubts and fears allay. Incline Thine ear, Thou King of grace, When, praying thus, we seek Thy face. 2 At eventide, Thy Spirit sending, Help us, 0 Lord, our watch to keep, In prayer devout, before Thee bending, Ere our eyelids close in sleep, Confessing sin in deed and word With hope of mercy from the Lord. 3 Abide with us; with heav'nly gladness Illumine, Lord, our darkest day; And when we weep in pain and sadness, Be Thou our solace, strength, and stay. Tell of Thy woe, Thy vict'ry won, When Thou didst pray: "God's will be done." 4 Abide with us, 0 Savior tender, That bitter day when life shall end, When to the grave we must surrender, And fear and pain our hearts shall rend. The shield of faith do Thou bestow When trembling we must meet the foe. 5 When earthly help no more availeth, To sup with us Thou wilt be nigh; Thou givest strength that never faileth, In Thee we grave and death defy. While earth is fading from our sight, Our eyes behold the realms of light. Languages: English Tune Title: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT

Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed

Author: I. Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: ELH1996 #282 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For sinners such as I? 2 Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, Thine, And bathed in its own blood, While all exposed to wrath divine, The glorious Suff'rer stood! 3 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, And love beyond degree! 4 Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut his glories in When God, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin. 5 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes in tears. 6 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Dear Lord, renew my faith today And teach me what to do.

All Depends on Our Possessing

Author: C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: ELH1996 #468 (1996) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing God's abundant grace and blessing, Though all earthly wealth depart. He who trusts with faith unshaken In his God is not forsaken And e'er keeps a dauntless heart. 2 He who hitherto hath fed me And to many joys hath led me, Is and ever shall be mine. He who did so gently school me, He who still doth guide and rule me, Will remain my Help divine. 3 Many spend their lives in fretting Over trifles and in getting Things that have no solid ground. I shall strive to win a treasure That will bring me lasting pleasure And that now is seldom found. 4 When with sorrow I am stricken, Hope my heart anew will quicken, All my longing shall be stilled. To His loving-kindness tender Soul and body I surrender; For in Him alone I build. 5 Well He knows what best to grant me; All the longing hopes that haunt me, Joy and sorrow, have their day. I shall doubt His wisdom never; As God wills, so be it ever; I to Him commit my way. 6 If on earth my days He lengthen, He my weary soul will stengthen; All my trust in Him I place. Earthly wealth is not abiding, Like a stream away is gliding; Safe I anchor in His grace.

Thy boundless pow'r o'er all things reigns, Done is whate'er Thy will ordains: Well for us that Thou rulest. 3 O Jesus Christ, Thou only Son Of God, Thy heav'nly Father, Who didst for all our sins atone And Thy lost sheep dost gather.

All Mankind Fell in Adam's Fall

Author: L. Spengler, 1479-1536 ; M. Loy, 1828-1915 Hymnal: ELH1996 #491 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 All mankind fell in Adam's fall, One common sin infects them all; From sire to son the bane descends, And over all the curse impends. 2 Through all man's pow'rs corruption creeps And him in dreadful bondage keeps; In guilt he draws his infant breath And reaps its fruits of woe and death. 3 From hearts depraved, to evil prone, Flow thoughts and deeds of sin alone; God's image lost, the darkened soul Nor seeks nor finds its heav'nly goal. 4 But Christ, the second Adam, came To bear our sin and woe and shame, To be our Life, our Light, our Way, Our only Hope, our only Stay. 5 As by one man all mankind fell And, born in sin, was doomed to hell, So by one Man, who took our place, We all received the gift of grace. 6 We thank Thee, Christ; new life is ours, New light, new hope, new strength, new pow'rs: May grace our ev'ry way attend Until we reach our journey's end!

All Men Living Are But Mortal

Author: J. G. Albinus, 1625-79; C. Winkworth, 1827-78; Unknown Hymnal: ELH1996 #472 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 All men living are but mortal, Yea, all flesh must fade as grass; Only through death's gloomy portal To eternal life we pass. This frail body here must perish Ere the heav'nly joys it cherish, Ere it gain the free reward For the ransomed of the Lord. 2 Therefore, when my God doth choose it, Willingly I'll yield my life Nor will grieve that I should lose it, For with sorrows it was rife. In my dear Redeemer's merit Peace hath found my troubled spirit, And in death my comfort this: Jesus' death my source of bliss. 3 Jesus for my sake descended My salvation to obtain: Death and hell for me are ended, Peace and hope are now my gain; Yea, with joy I leave earth's sadness For the home of heav'nly gladness Where I shall forever see God, the Holy Trinity. 4 There is joy beyond our telling, Where so many saints have gone; Thousands, thousands, there are dwelling, Worshiping before the throne, There the seraphim are shining, Evermore in chorus joining: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord! Triune God, for aye adored!" 5 Patriarchs of sacred story And the prophets there are found; The apostles, too, in glory On twelve seats are there enthroned 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 glorious Dost thou shine, thou city fair! Lo, I hear the tones victorious Ever sweetly sounding there. 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 before the throne so glorious Now I stand a soul victorious, Gazing on that joy for aye That shall never pass away.

All My Heart Sings and Rejoices

Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: ELH1996 #115 (1996) Meter: 8.3.3.6 D Lyrics: 1 All my heart this night rejoices As I hear Far and near Sweetest angel voices. "Christ is born," their choirs are singing Till the air Ev'rywhere Now with joy is ringing. 2 Forth today the Conqueror goeth, Who the foe, Sin and woe, Death and hell, o'erthroweth. God is man, man to deliver; His dear Son Now is one With our blood forever. 3 Shall we still dread God's displeasure, Who, to save, Freely gave His most cherished Treasure? To redeem us, He hath given His own Son From the throne Of His might in heaven. 4 Should He who Himself imparted Aught withhold From the fold, Leave us broken-hearted? Should the Son of God not love us, Who, to cheer Suff'rers here, Left His throne above us? 5 If our blessed Lord and Maker Hated men, Would He then Be of flesh partaker? If He in our woe delighted, Would He bear All the care Of our race benighted? 6 He becomes the Lamb that taketh Sin away And for aye Full atonement maketh. For our life His own He tenders And our race, By His grace, Meet for glory renders. 7 Hark! a voice from yonder manger, Soft and sweet, Doth entreat: "Flee from woe and danger. Brethren, from all ills that grieve you You are freed; All you need I will surely give you." 8 Come, then, banish all your sadness, One and all, Great and small; Come with songs of gladness. Love Him who with love is glowing; Hail the Star, Near and far Light and joy bestowing. 9 Ye whose anguish knew no measure, Weep no more; See the door To celestial pleasure. Cling to Him, for He will guide you Where no cross, Pain, or loss Can again betide you. 10 Hither come, ye heavy-hearted, Who for sin, Deep within, Long and sore have smarted. For the poisoned wounds you're feeling Help is near, One is here Mighty for their healing. 11 Hither come, ye poor and wretched; Know His will Is to fill Every hand outstretched. Here are riches without measure; Here forget All regret, Fill your hearts with treasure. 12 Let me in my arms receive Thee; On Thy breast Let me rest, Savior, ne'er to leave Thee. Since Thou hast Thyself presented Now to me, I shall be Evermore contented. 13 Guilt no longer can distress me; Son of God, Thou my load Bearest to release me. Stain in me Thou findest never; I am clean, All my sin Is removed forever. 14 I am pure, in Thee believing, From Thy store Evermore Righteous robes receiving In my heart I will enfold Thee, Treasure rare, Let me there, Loving, ever hold Thee. 15 Dearest Lord, Thee will I cherish. Though my breath Fail in death, Yet I shall not perish, But with Thee abide forever There on high, In that joy Which can vanish never.
