When Sinners See Their Lost Condition

Author: M. B. Landstad, 1802-80; O. H. Smeby, 1851-1929 Hymnal: ELH1996 #111 (1996) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When sinners see their lost condition And feel the pressing load of sin, And Jesus cometh on His mission To heal the sin-sick heart within, All grief must flee before His grace, And joy divine will take its place. 2 When Jesus enters meek and lowly To fill the home with sweetest peace; When hearts have felt His blessing holy And found from sin complete release; Then light and calm within shall reign And hearts divided love again. 3 When Jesus enters land and nation, And moves the people with His love; When, yielding to His kind persuasion, Our hearts His truth and blessing prove, Then shall our life on earth be blest, The peace of God on us shall rest. 4 When Jesus comes, O blessed story! He works a change in heart and life; God's kingdom comes with pow'r and glory To young and old, to man and wife; Through Sacrament and living Word Faith, love, and hope are now conferred. 5 Then stilled are cries and lamentation, Then loosed is Satan's ev'ry band, In death is hope and consolation, The soul is safe in Jesus' hand: When we shall walk through death's dark vale, His rod and staff shall never fail. 6 Oh may He soon to ev'ry nation Find entrance where He is unknown, With life and light and full salvation, That heathendom may be o'erthrown, And healing to the hearts may come In heathen land and Christian home! 7 Behold, He at the door is knocking! Hark, how He pleads our souls to win! Who hears His voice--the door unlocking-- To sup with him He enters in. How blest the day, my soul, how blest When Jesus comes to be thy guest. 8 Behold, He at the door is calling, O heed, my soul, what He doth say; Deny Him not--O thought appalling-- And turn Him hot from thee away. My soul gives answer deep within: Thou blessed of the Lord, come in. 9 Come Thou who spreadest joy and gladness, Forever bide with me and mine, And bring to those who sit in sadness And gloom of death Thy light divine. A voice comes from my soul within: Thou blessed of the Lord, come in! Topics: Rejoice; Advent 4 Languages: English Tune Title: WER WEISS, WIE NAHE

Angels from the Realms of Glory

Come and worship, Come and worship, Worship Christ the new-born King. 3 Sages, leave your contemplations, Brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great Desire of nations, Ye have seen his natal star. Come and worship, Come and worship, Worship Christ the new-born King. 4 Saints, before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord, descending In His temple shall appear. Come and worship, Come and worship, Worship Christ the new-born King. Topics: Nativity of our Lord Languages: English Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE

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.

Away in a Manger

Hymnal: ELH1996 #119 (1996) Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: Away in a manger, no crib for a bed Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head. The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. 2 The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes. I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky, And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care And take us to heaven to live with Thee there. Topics: Nativity of our Lord Languages: English Tune Title: CRADLE SONG
