We love the place, O God

Author: Sir H. W. Baker; W. Bullock Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #41 (1913) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 We love the place, O God, Wherein Thine honor dwelleth; The joy of Thine abode All earthly joy excelleth; It is the house of prayer, Wherein Thy servants meet; And Thou, O Lord, art there Thy chosen flock to greet. 2 We love Thine altar, Lord; O what on earth so dearer? For there, in faith adored, We find Thy presence nearer' We love the word of life, The word that tells of peace, Of comfort in the strife, And joys that never cease. 3 We love to sing below For mercies freely given; But most we long to know The triumph-song of heaven. Lord Jesus, give us grace On earth to love Thee more, In heaven to see Thy face, And with Thy saints adore.

O blessed Babe divine

Author: F. J. Burmeister Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #222 (1913) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 O blessed Babe divine, What offerings shall we give Thee? The gold of faith be Thine: For we will still believe Thee. O fill our eager hearts With Thy refreshing grace, And make them fit to be Thy chosen dwelling-place. 2 Let frankincense aspire, Pure sighs of sweetest savor, Which pine with fond desire' To find Thy gracious favor. O make them purer yet, And send Thy Spirit down, The altar of our hearts With holy fire to crown. 3 And myrrh, too, we prepare, Our bitter tribulation, Such grief as Thou didst bear For us and our salvation. Be strength and courage ours In toll and tears and pain, With Thee to wear the yoke, The cross with Thee sustain. 4 Lo, all of ours is Thine, Each hope and thought and feeling: Come, blessed Babe divine, Thyself in us revealing. To Thee, and God in Thee, Our dearest wishes tend: O make us thine and His Through ages without end. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany; The Church Year Epiphany Tune Title: [O blessed Babe divine]

O God, Thou faithful God

Author: J. Heermann Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #457 (1913) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God, Thou fountain ever flowing, Without whom nothing is, All perfect gifts bestowing; A pure and healthy frame O give me, and within A conscience free from blame, A soul unhurt by sin. 2 And grant me, Lord, to do With ready heart and willing, Whate'er Thou shalt command, My calling here fulfilling; To do it when I ought, With all my strength, and bless The work I thus have wrought, For Thou must give success. 3 And let me promise naught But I can keep it truly, Abstain from idle words, And guard my lips still duly; And grant, when in my place I must and ought to speak, My words due power and grace; Nor let me wound the weak. 4 If dangers gather round, Still keep me calm and fearless; Help me to bear the cross When life is dark and cheerless; To overcome my foe With words and actions kind: When counsel I would know, Good counsel let me find. 5 And let me be with all In peace and friendship living, As far as Christians may; And if Thou aught art giving Of wealth and honors fair, That naught be mingled there Of goods unjustly got. 6 And if a longer life Be here on earth decreed me, And Thou through many a strife To age at last wilt lead me, Thy patience on me shed. Avert all sin and shame, And crown my hoary head With pure untarnished fame. 7 Let nothing that may chance, Me from my Savior sever; And, dying with Him, take My soul to Thee for ever; And let my body have A little space to sleep Beside my fathers' grave, And friends that o'er it weep. 8 And when the end is come And all the dead are waking, O reach me down Thy hand, Thyself my slumbers breaking; Then let me hear Thy voice, And change this earthly frame, And bid me aye rejoice With those who love Thy name.
