O happy hearts and happy homes To whom this King in triumph comes! The cloudless Sun of joy He is, Who bringeth pure delight and bliss.

[Refrain] 5 Redeemer, come! I open wide My heart to Thee; here, Lord, abide! Let me Thine inner presence know, Thy grace and love on me bestow. Thy Holy Spirit guide us on, Until our glorious goal be won. [Refrain] Amen.

If God Himself Be for Me

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Richard Massie Hymnal: HOoS1926 #473 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Scripture: Psalm 27:3 Lyrics: 1 If God Himself be for me, I may a host defy; For when I pray, before me My foes confounded fly. If Christ, the Head, befriend me, If God be my support, The mischief they intend me Shall quickly come to naught. 2 I build on this foundation, That Jesus and His Blood Alone are my Salvation, The true Eternal Good; Without Him, all that pleases Is valueless on earth; The gifts I owe to Jesus Alone my love are worth. 3 His Holy Spirit dwelleth Within my willing heart, Tames it when it rebelleth, And soothes the keenest smart. He crowns His work with blessing, And helpeth me to cry "My Father." without ceasing, To Him who reigns on high. 4 To mine His Spirit speaketh Sweet words of soothing power, How God for Him that seeketh For rest hath rest in store; How God Himself prepareth My heritage and lot, And, though my body weareth, My heaven shall fail me not.

O God of God! O Light of Light!

Thou Prince of Peace, Thou King of kings, To Thee, where angels know no night, The song of praise forever rings: To Him who sits upon the throne, The Lamb once slain for sinful men, Be honor, might, all by Him won; Glory and praise! Amen, Amen! 2 Deep in the prophets' sacred page, Grand in the poets' winged word, Slowly in type, from age to age, Nations beheld their coming Lord; Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song, "Good will to men!" Hymned by the first-born sons of light, Re-echoed now, "Good will!" Amen! 3 Nations afar, in ignorance deep; Isles of the sea where darkness lay; These hear Thy voice, they wake from sleep, And throng with joy the upward way. They cry with us, "Send forth Thy light, O Lamb, once slain for sinful men; Burst Satan's bonds, O God of might; Set all men free! Amen, Amen!" 4 Sing to the Lord a glorious song, Sing to His Name, His love forthtell; Sing on, heaven's host, His praise prolong; Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell: "Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain; From angels, praise; and thanks from men; Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign, Glory and power! Amen, Amen!" Amen.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: HOoS1926 #266 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Scripture: Psalm 46 Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A trusty Shield and Weapon, He helps us in our ev'ry need That hath us now o'ertaken. The old malignant foe Ere means us deadly woe: Deep guile and cruel might Are his dread arms in fight, On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye who this may be? Jesus Christ, it is He, As Lord of Hosts adored, Our only King and Lord, He holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They shall not overpower us. For this world's prince may still Scowl fiercely as he will, We need not be alarmed, For he is now disarmed; One little word o'erthrows him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain, Nor any thanks have for it; He's by our side upon the plain, With His good gifts and Spirit. Take they, then, what they will, Life, goods, yea, all; and still, E'en when their worst is done, They yet have nothing won, The kingdom ours remaineth. Amen.

When Thou, O Lord, didst teach me In Thine own Name to pray, Unto my hope Thou gavest A refuge and a stay. 3 The yearnings of my bosom Thou hearest, Lord, I know; What to my weal pertaineth I know Thou wilt bestow. In times of deepest anguish Thy helping hand is near, And on Thy loving bosom My sorrows Thou wilt bear. 4 And to this blest assurance I'll cling for evermore; And never shall I weary A Father to implore. Depart, despair and anguish That oft my soul oppress; I'll cling unto my Saviour Till He my soul shall bless. Amen.

O let Thy Word in clearness A day-star o'er us shine, That we may feel Thy nearness, And bring forth fruit divine. Like sands from out the ocean, So let Thy people be, To voice our heart's devotion, And praise Thee through eternity. Amen.

Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me

Author: Augustus Montague Toplady Hymnal: HOoS1926 #422 (1926) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Scripture: Psalm 61:2 Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee: Let the water and the blood From Thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Save me, Lord, and make me pure. 2 Not the labors of my hands Can fulfill Thy Law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly: Wash me, Saviour, or I die! 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyelids close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne; Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.
