Hope of the World

Author: Georgia Harkness, 1891-1974 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #690 (2006) Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: Hope of the world, Thou Christ of great compassion Lyrics: 1 Hope of the world, Thou Christ of great compassion; Speak to our fearful hearts by conflict rent. Save us, Thy people, from consuming passion, Who by our own false hopes and aims are spent. 2 Hope of the world, God's gift from highest heaven, Bringing to hungry souls the bread of life. Still let thy Spirit unto us be given To heal earth's wounds and end our bitter strife. 3 Hope of the world, afoot on dusty highways, Showing to wand'ring souls the path of light, Walk Thou beside us lest the tempting byways Lure us away from Thee to endless night. 4 Hope of the world, who by Thy cross didst save us From death and dark despair, from sin and guilt, We render back the love Thy mercy gave us; Take Thou our lives and use them as Thou wilt. 5 Hope of the world, O Christ, o'er death victorious, Who by this sign did conquer grief and pain, We would be faithful to Thy Gospel glorious. Thou art our Lord! Thou dost forever reign! Topics: Society Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:1 Languages: English Tune Title: EIRENE

We Are the Lord's

Author: Karl J. Spitta; Charles T. Astley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7174 Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: We are the Lord's; His all sufficient merit Lyrics: 1. We are the Lord’s; His all sufficient merit, Sealed on the cross, to us this grace accords. We are the Lord’s and all things shall inherit; Whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 2. We are the Lord’s; then let us gladly tender Our souls to Him in deeds, not empty words. Let heart and tongue and life combine to render No doubtful witness that we are the Lord’s. 3. We are the Lord’s; no darkness brooding o’er us Can make us tremble while this star affords A steady light along the path before us— Faith’s full assurance that we are the Lord’s. 4. We are the Lord’s; no evil can befall us In the dread hour of life’s fast loosening cords; No pangs of death shall even then appall us. Death we shall vanquish, for we are the Lord’s.

Full Consecration

Author: E. S. Elliott Hymnal: Victorious Life Hymns #117 (1919) First Line: Full consecration! heart and spirit yielded Lyrics: 1 Full consecration! heart and spirit yielded In the calm rest of resurrection life; Within the secret of God’s presence shielded From care in service, and from harm of strife. 2 Full consecration! whither, Lord, Thou goest, We, too, would follow, list’ning for Thy call; The true, glad watchword of our hearts Thou knowest, All, all for Christ, and Christ our all in all. 3 Full consecration! let us go forth bravely, Bearing His cross who lived for us and died; Taking grief calmly, making conquest gravely, With the sweet quiet of the satisfied. 4 Thine, Lord, for ever! keep us, we implore Thee, Yielded to Thee as risen from the dead; Each in his priestly white to walk before Thee, Thy consecration ever on his head.

Come unto Me, when shadows darkly gather

Author: Catherine H. Esling Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #517 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Come unto Me, when shadows darkly gather, When the sad heart is weary and distressed; Seeking for comfort from your heavenly Father, Come unto Me, and I will give you rest. 2 Ye who have mourned when the spring flowers were taken, When the ripe fruit fell richly to the ground, When the loved slept, in brighter homes to waken, Where their pale brows with spirit-wreaths are crowned, 3 Large are the mansions in thy Father’s dwelling, Glad are the homes that sorrows never dim; Sweet are the harps in holy music swelling, Soft are the tones which raise the heavenly hymn. 4 There like an Eden blossoming in gladness, Bloom the fair flowers the earth too rudely pressed; Come unto Me, all ye who droop in sadness, Come unto Me, and I will give you rest.
