Lord of the church, we humbly pray
Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of the church, we humbly pray
For those who guide us in Thy way,
And speak Thy holy Word:
With love divine their hearts inspire,
And touch their lips with hallowed fire,
And needful strength afford.
2 Help them to preach the truth of God,
Redemption through the Saviour's blood;
Nor let the Spirit cease
On all the Church His gifts to shower:
To them a messenger of power,
To us, of life and peace.
3 So may they live to Thee alone;
Then hear the welcome word,"Well done!"
And take their crown above,
Enter into their Master's joy,
And all eternity employ
In praise, and bliss, and love. Topics: Ministry, Ordination and Installation of Ministers; Word of God Used With Tune: COME UNTO ME

Fröhlich Soll Mein Herze Springen
Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Fröhlich soll mein Herze springen
Dieser Zeit, Da vor Freud’
Alle Engel singen.
Hört, hört, wie mit vollen Chören
Alle Luft Laute ruft:
Christus ist geboren!
2 Heute geht aus seiner Kammer
Gottes Held, Der die Welt
Reisst aus allem Jammer.
Gott wird Mensch dir, Mensch, zugute.
Gottes Kind, Das verbind’t
Sich mit unserm Blute.
3 Sollt’ uns Gott nin können hassen,
Der uns gibt, Was er liebt
Über alle Massen?
Gott gibt, unserm Leid zu wehren,
Seinen Sohn Aus dem Thron
Seiner Macht und Ehren.
4 Sollte von uns sein gekehret,
Der sein Reich und zugleich
Sich uns selbst verehret?
Sollt’ uns Gottes Sohn nicht lieben,
Der jetzt kömmt, Von uns nimmt,
Was uns will betrueben?
5 Hätte vor der Menschen Orden
Unser Heil Einen Greu’l,
Wär’er nicht Mensch worden.
Hätt’ er Lust zu unserm Schaden,
Ei, so würd’ Unsre Bürd’
Er nicht auf sich laden.
6 Er nimmt auf sich, was auf Erden
Wir getan, Gibt sich an,
Unser Lamm zu werden,
Unser Lamm, das für uns stirbet
Und bei Gott für den Tod
Gnad’ und Fried’ erwirbet.
7 Nun, er liegt in seiner Krippen,
Ruft zu sich Mich und dich,
Spricht mit suessen Lippen:
Lasset fahr’n, o liebe Brueder,
Was euch quaelt, Was euch fehlt,
Ich bring’ alles wieder.
8 Ei, so kommt und lasst uns laufen!
Stellt euch ein, Gross und klein,
Eilt mit grossem Haufen!
Liebt den, der vor Liebe brennet;
Schaut den Stern, Der uns gern
Licht und Labsal goennet.
9 Die ihr schwebt in grossen Leiden,
Sehet, hier Ist die Tuer
Zu den wahren Freuden.
Fasst ihn wohl, er wird euch führen
An den Ort, Da hinfort
Euch kein Kreuz wird rühren.
10 Wer sich fühlt beschwert im Herzen,
Wer empfind’t Seine Sünd’
Und Gewissensschmerzen,
Sei getrost, hier wird gefunden,
Der in Eil’ Machet heil
Die vergift’ten Wunden.
11 Die ihr arm seid und elende,
Kommt herbei, Füllet frei
Eures Glaubens Hände!
Hier sind alle guten Gaben
Und das Gold, Da ihr sollt
Euer Herz mit laben.
12 Süsses Heil, lass dich umfangen,
Lass mich dir, Meine Zier,
Unverrückt anhangen!
Du bist meines Lebens Leben;
Nun kann ich Mich durch dich
Wohl zufrieden geben.
13 Meine Schuld kann mich nicht drücken,
Denn du hast Meine Last
All’ auf deinem Rücken.
Kein Fleck ist an mir zu finden,
Ich bin gar Rein und klar
Aller meiner Sünden.
14 Ich bin rein um deinetwillen;
Du gibst g’nug Ehr’ und Schmuck,
Mich darein zu hüllen.
Ich will dich ins Herze schliessen;
O mein Ruhm, Edle Blum’,
Lass dich recht geniessen!
15 Ich will dich mit Fleiss bewahren,
Ich will dir Leben hier,
Dir will ich abfahren;
Mit dir will ich endlich schweben
Voller Freud’ Ohne Zeit
Dort im andern Leben. Used With Tune: EBELING Text Sources: Praxis Pietatis Melica, 1656
Fröhlich Soll Mein Herze Springen
The Lord Into His Garden Came
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 237 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord into His garden came
The spices yield a rich perfume,
The lilies grow and thrive:
Refreshing showers of grace divine,
From Jesus flow to every vine,
And make the dead revive.
2 O that this dry and barren ground
In springs of water may abound,
A fruitful soil become.
The desert blossom as the rose,
When Jesus conquers all His foes,
And makes His people one.
3 The glorious time is rolling on,
The gracious work is now begun;
My soul a witness is,
I taste and see the pardon free,
For all mankind, as well as me,
Who comes to Christ may live.
4 The worst of sinners here may find
A Savior pitiful and kind:
Who will them all receive.
None are too late who will repent;
Out of one sinner legions went,
The Lord did him relieve.
5 Come brethren, you that love the Lord,
And taste the sweetness of His word;
In Jesu’s way go on,
Our troubles and our trials here,
Will only make us richer there,
When we arrive at home.
6 I feel that Heaven is now begun,
It issues from the sparkling throne;
From Jesu’s throne on high
It comes like floods, we can’t contain,
We drink, and drink, and drink again;
And yet we still are dry.
7 But when we come to reign above,
And all surround a throne of love,
We’ll drink a full supply.
Jesus will lead His armies through,
To living fountains where they flow,
That never will run dry.
8 ’Tis there we’ll reign, and shout, and sing,
And make the upper regions ring;
When all the saints get home.
Come on, come on! my brethren dear,
Soon we shall meet together there:
For Jesus bids us come.
9 Amen! amen! my soul replies,
I’m bound to meet you in the skies,
And claim my mansions sure.
Now here’s my heart, and here’s my hand,
To meet you in the heavenly land,
Where we shall part no more. Used With Tune: MERIBAH Text Sources: The Christian's Duty (Germantown, PA: Peter Leibert, 1801)
The Lord Into His Garden Came
Lord, Thou Hast Won
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals First Line: Lord, Thou hast won, at length I yield Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast won, at length I yield,
My heart, by mighty grace compelled,
Surrenders all to Thee;
Against Thy terrors long I strove,
But who can stand against Thy love?
Love conquers even me.
2 All that a wretch could do, I tried,
Thy patience scorned, Thy power defied,
And trampled on Thy laws;
Scarcely Thy martyrs at the stake,
Could stand more steadfast for Thy sake,
Than I in Satan’s cause.
3 But since Thou hast Thy love revealed,
And shown my soul a pardon sealed,
I can resist no more:
Couldst Thou for such a sinner bleed?
Canst Thou for such a rebel plead?
I wonder and adore!
4 If Thou hadst bid Thy thunders roll,
And lightnings flash to blast my soul,
I still had stubborn been:
But mercy has my heart subdued,
A bleeding Savior I have viewed,
And now, I hate my sin.
5 Now, Lord, I would be Thine alone,
Come take possession of Thine own,
For Thou hast set me free;
Released from Satan’s hard command,
See all my powers waiting stand,
To be employed by Thee.
6 My will conformed to Thine would move,
On Thee my hope, desire, and love,
In fixed attention join;
My hands, my eyes, my ears, my tongue,
Have Satan’s servants been too long,
But now they shall be Thine.
7 And can I be the very same,
Who lately durst blaspheme Thy name,
And on Thy Gospel tread?
Surely each one, who hears my case,
Will praise Thee, and confess Thy grace
Invincible indeed! Used With Tune: MERIBAH Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 1

O God, Regard My Humble Plea
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God, regard my humble plea;
I cannot be so far from Thee
But Thou wilt hear my cry;
When I by trouble am distressed,
Then lead me on the rock to rest
That higher is than I.
2. In Thee my soul hath shelter found,
And Thou hast been from foes around
The tower to which I flee.
Within Thy house will I abide;
My refuge sure, whate’er betide,
Thy sheltering wings shall be.
3. For Thou, my God, my vows hast heard,
On me the heritage conferred
Of those that fear Thy name;
A blest anointing Thou dost give,
And Thou wilt make me ever live
Thy praises to proclaim.
4. Before Thy face shall I abide;
O God, Thy truth and grace provide
To guard me in the way;
So I will make Thy praises known,
And, humbly bending at Thy throne,
My vows will daily pay. Used With Tune: MERIBAH Text Sources: From The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 159
