Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice
Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice
Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1180 Meter: 8.7.87.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice,
With exultation springing,
And, with united heart and voice,
And holy rapture singing,
Proclaim the wonders God hath done,
How His right arm the victory won;
Right dearly it hath cost Him.
2. Fast bound in Satan’s chains I lay,
Death brooded darkly o’er me,
Sin was my torment night and day,
In sin my mother bore me;
Yea, deep and deeper still I fell,
Life had become a living hell,
So firmly sin possessed me.
3. My own good works availed me naught,
NO merit they attaining;
Free will against God’s judgment fought,
Dead to all good remaining.
My fears increased till sheer despair
Left naught but death to be my share;
The pangs of hell I suffered.
4. But God beheld my wretched state
Before the world’s foundation,
And, mindful of His mercies great,
He planned my soul’s salvation.
A father’s heart He turned to me,
Sought my redemption fervently:
He gave His dearest Treasure.
5. He spoke to His belovèd Son:
’Tis time to have compassion.
Then go, bright Jewel of My crown,
And bring to man salvation;
From sin and sorrow set him free,
Slay bitter death for him that he
May live with Thee forever.
6. The Son obeyed His Father’s will,
Was born of virgin mother,
And God’s good pleasure to fulfill,
He came to be my Brother.
No garb of pomp or power He wore,
A servant’s form, like mine, He bore,
To lead the devil captive.
7. To me He spake: Hold fast to Me,
I am thy Rock and Castle;
Thy Ransom I Myself will be,
For thee I strive and wrestle;
For I am with thee, I am thine,
And evermore thou shalt be Mine:
The Foe shall not divide us.
8. The Foe shall shed my precious blood,
Me of My life bereaving.
All this I suffer for thy good;
Be steadfast and believing.
Life shall from death the victory win,
My innocence shall bear thy sin;
So art Thou blest forever.
9. Now to my Father I depart,
The Holy Spirit sending
And, heavenly wisdom to impart,
My help to thee extending.
He shall in trouble comfort thee,
Teach thee to know and follow Me,
And in all truth shall guide thee.
10. What I have done and taught, teach thou,
My ways forsake thou never;
So shall My kingdom flourish now
And God be praised forever.
Take heed lest men with base alloy
The heavenly treasure should destroy;
This counsel I bequeath thee. Languages: English Tune Title: NUN FREUT EUCH

Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #433 (1937) Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice,
With exultation springing,
And, with united heart and voice
And holy rapture singing,
Proclaim the wonders God hath done,
How His right arm the vict'ry won;
Right dearly it hath cost Him.
2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay,
Death brooded darkly o'er me,
Sin was my torment night and day,
In sin my mother bore me;
Still deeper in despair I fell,
Life had become a living hell,
So firmly sin possessed me.
3 Then God beheld my wretched state
With deep commiseration;
He thought upon His mercy great,
And willed my soul's salvation;
He turned to me a Father's heart;
Not small the cost! to heal my smart,
He gave His best and dearest.
4 He spoke to His belovèd Son:
"'Tis time to have compassion:
Then go, bright Jewel of My crown,
And bring to man salvation;
From sin and sorrow set him free,
Slay bitter death for him, that he
May live with Thee forever."
5 The Son obeyed Him cheerfully,
And born of virgin mother,
Came down upon the earth to me,
That He might be my brother:
His mighty power doth work unseen,
He came in fashion poor and mean,
And took the devil captive.
6 We thank Thee, Lord, for boundless grace,
And sing Thy praise forever,
For granting us in dire distress
Thine everlasting favor.
Both death and hell were stricken down,
When Thou didst for our sins atone,
O Jesus, blessèd Saviour.
Amen.

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a250 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all rejoice,
With exultation springing,
And, with united heart and voice
And holy rapture singing,
Proclaim the wonders God has done,
How His right arm the vict'ry won;
Right dearly it hath cost Him.
2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay;
Death brooded darkly o'er me.
Sin was my torment night and day;
In sin my mother bore me.
Deeper and deeper still I fell;
My life became a living hell,
So firmly sin possessed me.
3 My good works so imperfect were,
They had no power to aid me;
My will God's judgments could not bear,
Yea, prone to evil made me:
Grief drove me to despair, and I
Had nothing left me but to die;
To hell I fast was sinking
4 Then God beheld my wretched state
With deep commiseration;
He thought upon His mercy great,
And willed my soul's salvation;
He turned to me a Father's heart;
Not small the cost! to heal my heart;
Not small the cost! to heal my smart,

And, born of virgin mother,
Came down upon the earth to me,

I am thy Rock and Castle.
Your ransom I myself will be;
For thee I strive and wrestle:'
For I am with thee, I am thine
And evermore thou shalt be mine,
The foe shall not divide us.

Me of my life bereaving;
All this I suffer for thy good,
Be steadfast and believing:
Life shall from death the vict'ry win,
My innocence shall bear thy sin,
So art thou blest forever.
9 Now to My Father I depart,
From earth to heaven ascending,
Thence heavenly wisdom to impart,
The Holy Spirit sending:
He shall in trouble comfort thee,
Teach thee to know and follow me,
And to the truth conduct thee.
10 What I have done and taught, teach thou,
My ways forsake thou never,
So shall my kingdom flourish now,
And God be praised, forever:

With exultation springing,
And with united heart and voice
And holy rapture singing,
Tell how our God beheld our need,
And sing His sweet and wondrous deed;
Right dearly it hath cost Him.
2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay,
Death brooded darkly o'er me,
My sin oppressed me night and day,
Wherein my mother bore me;
Deeper and deeper still I fell,

For they with sin were stained;

7 He spake to me: "Hold fast by me,
I am thy Rock and Castle;
I wholly give myself for thee,
For thee I strive and wrestle;
For I am thine, and thou art mine,

Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice
Dear Christians, Let Us All Rejoice
Author: H. Brueckner; Martin Luther Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #121 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 First Line: Dear Christians, let us all rejoice Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians,let us all rejoice
And leave the haunts of sadness,
That we, as with a single voice,
My sound the note of gladness.
Yea, let us sing with one accord
And praise the wonders of our Lord,
Who with a price hath bought us.
2 In Satan's chains I fettered lay,
With naught but death before me.
My sin distressed me night and day,
In sin my mother bore me.
While thus my sin and guilt were rife,
There was no good in all my life;
So fully sin enthralled me.
3 My works no merit e'er possessed,
They had no pow'r to save me.
My will with nothing good was blest,
But prone to evil made me.
My fears increased till sheer despair
Left naught but death to be my share;
The pangs of hell I suffered.
4 But God beheld my wretched state
Before the world's foundation,
And, mindful of His mercies great,
He planned my soul's salvation;
A father's heart He turned to me,
And, from my woes to make me free,
Gave up His dearest Treasure.
5 He said to His beloved Son
In accents soft and tender:
'Tis time the battle should be won;
Thyself shalt Thou surrender.
O brightest Jewel of My crown,
Do Thou to wretched man go down,
Both sin and death to conquer.
6 The Son obeyed the Father's voice,
And, born of virgin mother,
He of His own free will and choice
Became my Friend and Brother.
He hid His power from Satan well,
That He the crafty foe might fell
And bring hims low forever.
7 He said to me: Do not despair,
My help I freely offer;
Thy misery I came to share,
Myself for thee I proffer.
Thou shalt be Mine as I am thine,
My love shall e'er thy soul entwine,
The foe shall not divide us.
8 The foe will shed My precious blood
Though ne'er his aim achieving;
I but endure it for thy good,
From death thy soul relieving.
My life shall swallow death for aye,
My innocence thy guilt shall pay;
Thy faith in Me shall save thee.
9 To heaven I again ascend,
There with the Father dwelling;
To thee I strength and comfort lend,
Thy sorrow thus dispelling.
The Spirit I will send to thee,
Who shall thy faithful Teacher be,
That thou mayst truly know Me.
10 What I on earth have done and taught
Shall be Thy guide in teaching;
So shall My kingdom's works be wrought
By thy pure life and preaching.
Take heed lest men with base alloy
The treasures of My truth destroy;
This is My final warning. Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification Languages: English Tune Title: LUTHER'S HYMN
