From Eternity, O God

Author: C. Neumann, 1648-1715 ; A. Crull, 1846-1923 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #220 (1996) Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 From eternity, O God, In Thy Son Thou didst elect me. Therefore, Father, on life's road Graciously to heav'n direct me; Send to me Thy Holy Spirit That His gifts I may inherit. 2 Though alive, I'm dead in sin, Lost to all good things by nature. Holy Ghost, change me within, Make of me a new-born creature; For the flesh works ruination And can never gain salvation. 3 Drive away the gloomy night Of my heart's perverse reflection. Quench all thoughts that are not right; Hold my reason in subjection. Grant that I from Thee, with yearning, Wisdom always may be learning. 4 All desire and thoughts of mine From my youth are only evil. Save me by Thy pow'r divine From myself and from the devil; Give me strength in ample measure Both to will and do Thy pleasure. 5 Oh, create a heart in me That in Thee, my God believeth And o'er the iniquity Of my sins most truly grieveth. When dark hours of woe betide me, In the wounds of Jesus hide me. 6 As a branch upon a vine, In my blessed Lord implant me; Ever of my Head divine To remain a member grant me. O let Him, my Lord and Savior, Be my Life and Love forever! 7 Faith and hope and charity Graciously, O Father, give me; Be my Guardian constantly That the devil may not grieve me. Grant me humbleness and gladness, Peace and patience in my sadness. 8 Help me speak what's right and good And keep silence on occasion. Help me pray, Lord, as I should, Help me bear my tribulation. Help me die and let my spirit Everlasting life inherit. Topics: Election; Epiphany 5 Languages: English Tune Title: LIEBSTER JESU, WIR SIND HIER

Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #244 (1996) Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 Dearest Jesus, we are here, Gladly Thy command obeying; With this child we now draw near In accord with Thine own saying That of Thee it shall be given As a child and heir of heaven. 2 Yea, Thy word is clear and plain, And we would obey it duly: "He who is not born again, Heart and life renewing truly, Born of water and the Spirit, Can My kingdom not inherit." 3 Therefore hasten we to Thee, In our arms this infant bearing; Let us here Thy glory see, Let this child, Thy mercy sharing, In Thine arms be shielded ever, Thine on earth and Thine forever. 4 Wash it, Jesus, in Thy blood, From the sin-stain of its nature; Let it rise from out this flood Clothed in thee, a newborn creature; May it, washed as Thou hast bidden, In Thine innocence be hidden. 5 Turn its darkness into light, To Thy grace receive and save it; Heal the serpent's venomed bite In the font where now we lave it; Here let flow a Jordan river And from leprous sin deliver. 6 Gracious Head, Thy member own; Shepherd, take Thy lamb and feed it; Prince of Peace, make here Thy throne; Way of Life, to heaven lead it. Precious Vine, let nothing sever From Thy side this branch forever. 7 Now into Thy heart we pour Prayers that from our hearts proceeded. Our petitions heav'nward soar; May our warm desires be heeded! Write the name we now have given, Write it in the book of heaven. Topics: Baptism of Jesus Languages: English Tune Title: LIEBSTER JESU, WIR SIND HIER

Grant us what we need the most; all your gospel's consolation while we here on earth await you, till in heav'n with praise we greet you.
