O Lord, my soul convicted stands

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a207 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my soul convicted stands Of breaking all Thy Ten Commands; And on me justly might'st Thou pour Thy wrath in one eternal shower. 2 But thanks to God, its loud alarms Have warned me of approaching harms And now, O Lord, my wants I see; Lost and undone I come to Thee. 3 I know my worthless righteousness Can ne'er Thy broken law redress, Yet in the Gospel plan I see, There's hope of pardon e'en for me. 4 There I hold with wonder, Lord! That Christ hath to Thy Law restored Those honors on th' atoning day, Which guilty sinners took away. 5 Amazing wisdom, power, and love, Displayed to rebels from above! Do Thou, O Lord, my faith increase To love and trust Thy plan of grace. Topics: The Catechism The Decalogue Languages: English

We all believe in one true God

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a208 (1895) Lyrics: 1 We all believe in one true God, Maker of all earth and heaven; The Father, Who to us in love Hath the right of children given; He in soul and body feeds us, All we want His hand provides us; Through snares and perils leads us, Watches that no harm betide us; He cares for us by day and night, All things are governed by His might. 2 And we believe in Jesus Christ, His own Son, our Lord, possessing An equal Godhead, throne and might, Through Whom comes the Father's blessing; Conceived of the Holy Spirit, Born of Mary, virgin mother! That lost man might life inherit, Made true Man, our elder Brother, Was crucified by sinful men, And raised by God to life again. 3 Also the Holy Ghost we own, Who sweet grace and comfort giveth, And with the Father and the Son In eternal glory liveth; Who the Christian church doth even Keep in unity of spirit; Sins are verily forgiven Through the blest Redeemer's merit: All flesh shall rise again, and we Shall live with God eternally. Amen. Topics: The Catechism The Creed Languages: English

One true God we all confess

Praise, O Holy Trinity! Praise forever be to Thee. Topics: The Catechism The Creed Languages: English

Is this Jesus, then, the Lord

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a21 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Is this Jesus, then, the Lord, Promised since the world began? Ask the blind to sight restored, Ask the lame who leaped and ran; 2 Ask the once loathed leper clean, Ask the dead to life restored: They will tell thee Christ hath been,-- Christ will ever be--the Lord. 3 Say thou, poor man, hath not He, As the Prophet spake of old, Preached his Gospel unto thee? Is not this the Christ foretold? 4 Come unto Him, all ye meek, Shun not of His cross the same: Blest all they His love who seek, Bearing witness to His name.

Faith is a living power from heaven

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a210 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Faith is a living power from heaven That grasps the promise God hath given, A confidence in Christ alone Whose grace cannot be overthrown. 2 Faith in the conscience worketh peace, And bids the mourner’s weeping cease; By faith the children’s place we claim And give all honor to One Name. 3 Faith feels the Spirit’s kindling breath In love and hope that conquer death; Faith worketh joyfulness in God And trusts and blesses e’en the rod. 4 We thank Thee, then, O God of heaven, That Thou to us this faith hast given; Preserve to us Thy Spirit's grace Till we shall see Thee face to face.

Faith is wisdom from on high

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a211 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Faith is wisdom from on high, Hearing ear and seeing eye; In the soul a higher light Than the ken of mortal sight: Vivid trust in hope serene, Evidence of things not seen. 2 Faith in meekness, as is meet, Sits and learns at Jesus' feet; Nestles closely to the Lord, Happy in the Master's Word; Cleaves to it, defends it then: This to faith is Yea, Amen. 3 Faith is sure, where sight is blind: While lost sense may nowhere find Hope, to stay a sinking soul When the billows o'er it roll, Faith directs its saving quest To the cross, and there finds rest. 4 Faith, in childlike trust, is wise: Trusting Him who never lies; By whose grace the weak grow strong, Change their sighing into song. Praise be Thine, O Lord of might! Faith shall end in glorious sight. Topics: The Catechism Faith Languages: English

Deluded souls, that dream of heaven

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a212 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Deluded souls, that dream of heaven, And make their empty boast Of inward joys, and sins forgiven, While they are slaves to lust! 2 Vain are our fancies, airy flights, If faith be cold and dead; None but a living power unites To Christ, the living Head: 3 A faith that changes all the heart; A faith that works by love; That bids all sinful joys depart, And lifts the thoughts above. 4 Faith must obey her Father’s will, As well as trust His grace: A pard'ning God requires us still To perfect holiness.

O let triumphant faith dispel

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a213 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O let triumphant faith dispel The fears of guilt and woe! If God be for us, God the Lord, Who, who shall be our foe? 2 He who his only Son gave up To death, that we might live, Shall He not all things freely grant That boundless love can give. 3 Who now his people shall accuse? 'Tis God hath justified: Who now His people shall condemn? The Lamb of God hath died. 4 And He who died hath risen again, Triumphant from the grave; At God's right hand for us He pleads, Omnipotent to save. Topics: The Catechism Faith Languages: English

O for a faith that will not shrink

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a214 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink, Though pressed by ev'ry foe, That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe! 2 That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chast'ning rod, But in the hour of grief or pain Will lean upon its God. 3 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without, That, when in danger, knows no fear, In darkness, feels no doubt; 4 That bears, unmoved the world’s dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile; That seas of trouble cannot drown, Nor Satan’s arts beguile, 5 A faith that keeps the narrow way Till life’s last hour is fled And with a pure and heavenly ray Lights up a dying bed. 6 Lord, give us such a faith as this, And then, whate’er may come, We’ll taste e’en here the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home.

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a215 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed, The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. 2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear, The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near. 3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Prayer the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high. 4 Prayer is the Christians' vital breath, The Christians' native air; His watch-word at the gate of death-- He enters heaven with prayer. 5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice, And say, "Behold, he prays."
