Now Hush Your Cries
Author: N. Herman, c. 1480-1561; C. Winkworth, 1827-78; Unknown Hymnal: ELH1996 #480 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Now hush your cries and shed no tear Lyrics: 1 Now hush your cries and shed no tear,
On such death none should look with fear;
A faithful Christian now has won,
And with this death true life's begun.
2 These bones, now dead, again shall fell
New warmth and vigour through them steal;
And reunited they shall soar
On high to live forevermore.
3 The buried grain of wheat must die,
And long in withered state must lie,
Yet springs to light all sweet and fair,
Its proper fruit at last to bear.
4 E'en so this body, made of dust,
To earth we once again entrust,
Where it shall slumber free from pain
Till from the dead it rise again.
5 God breathed into this house of clay
The spirit that hath passed away;
The righteous mind, the noble heart,
The living faith did Christ impart.
6 Ah! would that promised day were here
When Christ will once again appear
And bring them to their heav'nly home
Who have been buried in the tomb.

Now Hush Your Cries
When My Last Hour Is Close at Hand
Author: N. Herman, c. 1480-1561; Unknown; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: ELH1996 #481 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand,
Lord Jesus Christ, attend me;
Beside me then, O Savior, stand
To comfort and defend me.
Into Thy hands I will commend
My soul at this my earthly end,
And Thou wilt keep it safely.
2 My sins, dear Lord, disturb me sore,
My conscience cannot slumber;
But though as sands upon the shore
My sins may be in number,
I will not quail, but think of Thee;
Thy death, Thy sorrow, borne for me,
Thy suff'rings, shall uphold me.
3 I am a branch in Thee, the Vine,
And hence the comfort borrow
That Thou wilt surely keep me Thine
Through fear and pain and sorrow;
And when I die, I die to Thee,
Thy precious death hath won for me
The life that never endeth.
4 Since Thou the pow'r of death didst rend,
In death Thou wilt not leave me;
Since Thou didst into heaven ascend,
No fear of death shall grieve me.
For where Thou art, there shall I be
That I may ever live with Thee;
That is my hope when dying.
5 My spirit I commend to Thee
And gladly hence betake me;
Peaceful and calm my sleep shall be,
No human voice can wake me.
But Christ is with me through the strife,
And He will bear me into life
And open heav'n before me.

When My Last Hour Is Close at Hand
In Heaven Is Joy and Gladness
Author: J. N. Brun, 1745-1816; O. H. Smeby, 1851-1929 Hymnal: ELH1996 #482 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 First Line: In heav'n is joy and gladness Lyrics: 1 In heav'n is joy and gladness,
But while I sojourn here,
So often, bowed in sadness,
I shed the bitter tear.
Here ills, alway prevailing,
Distress the Savior's bride;
Here mirth is lost in wailing;
In heav'n but joys abide.
2 I do not strive for pleasures
That fools pursue on earth,
I sow in tears for treasures
That have more lasting worth.
If, when my journey endeth,
The sheaves I gather in,
The bliss the fool pretendeth
I do not yearn to win.
3 For I shall see my Jesus,
He is my Hope and Stay;
The cross that me oppresses
He then shall take away.
Then nothing more shall grieve me,
And no adversity
Shall of my joy bereave me;
Soon I shall Jesus see.

Christ alone is our salvation
Author: Unknown Hymnal: ELH1996 #484 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Christ alone is our salvation,
Christ the rock on which we stand;
Other than this sure foundation
Will be found but sinking sand.
Christ, His cross and resurrection,
Is alone the sinners' plea;
At the throne of God's perfection
Nothing else can set him free.
2 We have all things, Christ possessing:
Life eternal, second birth,
Present pardon, peace, and blessing
While we tarry here on earth;
And by faith's anticipation,
Foretaste of the joy above
Freely giv'n us with salvation
By the Father in His love.
3 When we perfect joy shall enter,
'Tis in Him our bless will rise;
He's the essence, soul, and center
Of the glory in the skies.
In redemption's wondrous story
Planned before our parents' fall,
From the cross unto the glory
Jesus Christ is all in all. Topics: Christian Freedom; Trinity 17 Languages: English Tune Title: O DURCHBRECHER ALLER BÄNDE
Christ alone is our salvation
O Day of Rest and Gladness
Author: C. Woodsworth, 1807-85 Hymnal: ELH1996 #485 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness,
Most beautiful, most bright;
On thee the high and lowly,
Before th'eternal throne,
Sing, "Holy, holy, holy,"
To the great Three in One.
2 On thee at the Creation
The light first had its birth;
On thee for our salvation
Christ rose from depth of earth;
On thee our Lord victorious
The Spirit sent from heav'n;
And thus on thee, most glorious,
A three-fold light was giv'n.
3 Thou art a cooling fountain
In life's dry, dreary sand;
From thee, like Nebo's mountain,
We view our Promised Land;
A day of sweet reflection,
A day of holy love,
A day of resurrection
From earth to things above.
4 Today on weary nations
The heav'nly manna falls;
To holy convocations
The silver trumpet calls,
Where Gospel-light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams
And living water flowing
With soul-refreshing streams.
5 New graces ever gaining
From this our day of rest,
We reach the rest remaining
To spirits of the blest.
To Holy Ghost be praises,
To Father, and to Son;
The Church her voice upraises
To Thee, blest Three in One.

O Day of Rest and Gladness
The Church's One Foundation
Author: S. J. Stone, 1839-1900 Hymnal: ELH1996 #486 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation
Is Jesus Christ, her Lord;
She is His new creation
By water and the Word.
From heav'n He came and sought her
To be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her,
And for her life He died.
2 Elect from ev'ry nation,
Yet one o'er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation
One Lord, one faith, one birth.
One holy name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With ev'ry grace endued.
3 The Church shall never perish!
Her dear Lord, to defend,
To guide, sustain, and cherish,
Is with her to the end.
Though there be those that hate her,
False sons within her pale,
Against both foe and traitor
She ever shall prevail.
4 Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed,
Yet saints their watch are keeping;
Their cry goes up, "How long?"
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.
5 Mid toil and tribulation
And tumult of her war
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore,
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.

O Jesus, Lord of Heavenly Grace
Author: St. Ambrose, c. 340-397 ; J. Chandler, 1806-76 Hymnal: ELH1996 #487 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, Lord, of heavenly grace,
Thou Brightness of Thy Father's face,
Thou Fountain of eternal light,
Whose beams disperse the shades of night.
2 Come, holy Sun of heav'nly love,
Send down Thy radiance from above;
And to our inward hearts convey
The Holy Spirit's cloudless ray.
3 And we the Father's help will claim,
And sing the Father's glorious name;
His pow'rful help we now implore,
That we may stand, to fall no more.
4 May He our actions deign to bless,
And loose the bonds of wickedness;
From sudden falls our feet defend,
And bring us to a prosperous end.
5 May faith, deep rooted in the soul,
The flesh subdue, our minds control;
May guile depart, and discord cease,
And all within be joy and peace.
6 O hallowed thus be ev'ry day!
Let meekness be our morning ray,
And faithful love our noonday light,
And hope our sunset, calm and bright.
7 O Christ, with each returning morn,
Thine image to our hearts is borne;
O may we ever clearly see
Our Saviour and our God in Thee.

O Jesus, Lord of Heavenly Grace
I Am, Alone, Your God and Lord
Author: M. Luther, 1483-1546 Hymnal: ELH1996 #488 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 I am, alone, your God and Lord;
All idols are to be abhorred.
Trust Me, step boldly to My throne;
With all your hearts love Me alone.
2 Do not My holy name disgrace,
Do not My Word of truth abase.
Praise only that as good and true
Which I, your God, would say and do.
3 Hallow the day which God has blest,
That you and all your house may rest.
And put aside the work you do
So that God's Word may work in you.
4 You are to honor and obey
Your parents, masters, ev'ry day,
Serve them each way that comes to hand;
You'll then live long upon the land.
5 Curb anger, do not harm or kill,
Hate not, repay not ill with ill.
Be patient and of gentle mind,
Convince your foe that you are kind.
6 Be faithful to your marriage vows,
Your heart give only to your spouse,
Keep your life pure and free fom sin,
By temp'rance and self-discipline.
7 You shall not steal or cheat away
What others worked for night and day,
But open up a gen'rous hand
To feed the poor in all the land.
8 False witness you mustnever bear,
Nor with your neighbor be unfair;
The cause of innocence embrace,
And shield the fallen from disgrace.
9 By show of right or crafty fame,
Seek not your neighbor's goods to gain;
Urge spouse and workers to be true
To stay and do what they should do.
10 These Ten Commandments show us all
The sins our lives hold since the Fall.
They also help us clearly see
How pure t'ward God our life should be.

The Law Commands and Makes Us Know
Author: I. Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: ELH1996 #489 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Law commands and makes us know
What duties to our God we owe;
But 'tis the gospel must reveal
Where lies our strength to do His will.
2 The Law discovers guilt and sin
And shows how vile our hearts have been;
The gospel only can express
Forgiving love and cleansing grace.
3 What curses doth the Law denounce
Against the man that fails but once!
But in the gospel Christ appears,
Pard'ning the guilt of num'rous years.
4 My soul, no more attempt to draw
Thy life and comfort from the Law.
Fly to the hope the Gospel gives;
The man that trusts the promise lives.
