Fear and Love Thy God and Lord

Author: B. Pedersen; C. Døving, 1867-1937 Hymnal: ELH1996 #510 (1996) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Fear and love thy God and Lord, And revere His name and Word, Holy keep the Sabbath day, Honor to thy parents pay. Kill not, shun adultery, Steal not, lies and slander flee, Keep from covetousness free. Help me, Lord, I trust in Thee! 2 In the Father I believe, Who to all did being give, And in Jesus Christ, His Son, Who for all redemption won; And my faith I also place In the Holy Ghost, whose grace Sanctifies our souls and ways. Grant me faith through all my days! 3 Father, throned in heav'n above, Hallowed be Thy name in love; Let Thy kingdom come, we pray, And Thy will be done alway; Give us food, forgiveness send, In temptations aid extend, Save us, Lord, when comes our end! Amen! Lord, Thy Church defend! 4 God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit, Three in One, I, baptized into Thy name, As Thy child Thy blessing claim; Grant that by Thy promised grace I my trust in Thee may place, All my sins with peace replace Till in heav'n I see Thy face. 5 Jesus, let my soul be fed With Thyself, the living Bread, For Thy flesh is meat indeed, And Thy cleansing blood I need; Let it cleanse from sin and shame, Keep me from all harm and blame, That Thy death I may proclaim, And forever bless Thy name!

Lord Jesus Christ, with Us Abide

Author: N. Selnecker, 1532-92 Hymnal: ELH1996 #511 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide, For round us falls the eventide; Nor let Thy Word, that heav'nly light, For us be ever veiled in night. 2 In these last days of sore distress Grant us, dear Lord, true steadfastness That pure we keep, till life is spent, Thy holy Word and Sacrament. 3 Lord Jesus, help, Thy Church uphold, For we are sluggish, thoughtless, cold. O prosper well Thy Word of grace And spread its truth in ev'ry place! 4 O keep us in Thy Word, we pray; The guile and rage of Satan stay! O may Thy mercy never cease! Give concord, patience, courage, peace. 5 O God, how sin's dread works abound! Throughout the earth no rest is found, And falsehood's spirit wide has spread, And error boldly rears its head. 6 And ever is there something new Devised to change Thy doctrine true; Lord Jesus! as Thou still dost reign, Those vain presumptuous minds restrain; 7 And as the cause and glory, Lord, Are Thine, not ours, to us afford Thy help and strength and constancy. And keep us ever true to Thee. 8 Thy Word shall fortify us hence, It is Thy Church's sure defense; O let in its pow'r confide, That we may seek no other guide. 9 O grant that in Thy holy Word We here may live and die, dear Lord; And when our journey endeth here, Receive us into glory there.

To Thee my heart I tender And all my pow'rs surrender; Make it my one endeavor To love and serve Thee ever. Upon Thy promise I rely; My Maker, be Thou nigh. 2 My Savior, wash me clean With Thy most precious blood, That takes away all sin And seals my peace with God My soul in peace abideth When in Thy wounds it hideth. There I find full salvation And freedom from damnation. Without Thee, lost, defiled by sin, My Savior, wash me clean. 3 My Comforter, give pow'r That I may stand secure When in temptation's hour The world and sin allure. The Son to me revealing, Inspire my thought and feeling, His Word of grace to ponder, Nor let me from Him wander, On me Thy gifts and graces show'r: My Comforter, give pow'r. 4 O Holy Trinity! To whom I all things owe, Thine image graciously Within my heart bestow. Choose me, though weak and lowly, To be Thy temple holy Where praise shall rise unending For grace so condescending. O heav'nly bliss, Thine own to be, O Holy Trinity! Topics: Confirmation: Perseverance; Trinity 20 Languages: English Tune Title: MEIN SCHÖPFER, STEH MIR BEI

Our Lord and God, O Bless This Day

Author: J. N. Brun, 1745-1816; C. Døving, 1867-1937 Hymnal: ELH1996 #514 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 Our Lord and God, O bless this day And hear us, we implore Thee; None of Thy children turn away Who now appear before Thee. We come before Thy face And pray: Let Thy rich grace Descend from heav'n above In all Thy wondrous love And keep us by Thy Spirit. 2 O bless Thy Word to all the young; Let them, Thy truth possessing, Bear witness true with heart and tongue, Their faith and ours confessing. From mother's arms Thy grace With love did them embrace; Baptized into Thy name, As Thine Thou didst them claim. O Lord, as Thine now own them! 3 When they their vows today renew, Accept them with Thy favor; And when they promise to be true, May they forget it never! But they are weak and frail When Satan's hosts assail; O arm them with Thy might And grant that in the fight They unto death be faithful! 4 And when they leave their childhood home, When Satan comes alluring, May their baptismal grace become A refuge reassuring! Blest they who then can say: "God's cov'nant stands for aye." They ne'er shall be undone Who trusts in God alone-- God is their mighty Father!

O Watch and Pray

Author: H. A. Brorson, 1694-1764 ; G. A. T. Rygh, 1860-1942 Hymnal: ELH1996 #516 (1996) Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 First Line: O watch and pray, My soul, the way Lyrics: 1 O watch and pray, My soul, the way Of safety lies before thee; Lest thou shouldst be led astray And the foe come o'er thee. 2 Use thou the Word Of God, thy Lord; All else is unavailing; Ev'ry thought and passion guard With this shield unfailing. 3 O make thy choice The Spirit's voice When He comes to remind thee; Then shall peace thine heart rejoice, Satan get behind thee. 4 One secret thought With evil fraught, Which in the heart was cherished, Havoc of God's grace hath wrought, And the soul hath perished. 5 Our evil mind, To sin inclines, Is drawn by sin around us; If a wicked thought we mind, Satan soon hath bound us. 6 One word from hell Cast its foul spell On Adam with temptation; So by one man all men fell Under condemnation. 7 Each soul astray From Christ, the way, Should keep God's people humble; Jesus warns, "O watch and pray, Lest ye fall and stumble." 8 Be on your guard, Keep watch and ward, Beware of Satan's cunning! Watch and pray and trust your Lord Till ye see Him coming! Topics: Confirmation: Perseverance; Trinity 20 Languages: English Tune Title: O TRAURIGKEIT

If God Himself Be for Me

Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76; R. Massie, 1807-87 Hymnal: ELH1996 #517 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 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 This I believe, yea, rather, In this I make my boast, That God is my dear Father, The Friend who loves me most; And that, whate'er betide me, My Savior is at hand Through stormy seas to guide me And bring me safe to land. 3 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. 4 My Jesus is my Splendor, My soul's bright beaming Sun; Were He not my Defender Before God's awful throne, I never should find favor And mercy in His sight, But be destroyed forever As darkness by the light. 5 He canceled my offenses, And saved my soul from death; 'Tis He who ever cleanses Me from my sins through faith. In Him I can be cheerful, Bold, and undaunted aye. In Him I am not fearful Of God's great Judgment Day. 6 Naught, naught, can e'er condemn me, Nor set my hope aside; Now hell no more can claim me, Its fury I deride. No sentence e'er reproves me, No ill destroys my peace, For Christ, my Savior, loves me And shields me with His grace. 7 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 dwells on high. 8 And when my soul is lying Weak, trembling, and opprest, He pleads with groans and sighing That cannot be expressed; But God's quick eye discerns them, Although they give no sound, And into language turns them E'en in the heart's deep ground. 9 To mine His Spirit speaketh Sweet word of holy cheer, How God, to him that seeketh For rest, is always near, And how He hath erected A city fair and new, Where what our faith expected We evermore shall view. 10 In yonder home doth flourish My heritage, my lot; Though here I die and perish, My heav'n shall fail me not. Though care my life oft saddens And causeth tears to flow, The light of Jesus gladdens And sweetens ev'ry woe. 11 Who clings with resolution To Him whom Satan hates Must look for persecution Which never here abates; Reproaches, griefs and losses Rain fast upon his head, A thousand plagues and crosses Become his daily bread. 12 All this I am prepared for, Yet am I not afraid; By Thee shall all be cared for, To whom my vows were paid. Though life and limb it cost me, And all the earthly store Which once so much engrossed me, I love Thee all the more. 13 Not fire, nor sword, not thunder, Shall sever me from Thee; Though earth be rent asunder, Thou'rt mine eternally. Not hunger, thirst, nor danger, Not pain, or pinching want, Nor mighty princes' anger My fearless soul shall daunt. 14 No angel, and no gladness, No throne, no pomp, nor show, No love, no hate, no sadness, No pain, no depth of woe, No scheme of man's contrivance, Though it be great or small, Shall draw me from Thy guidance Nor one of these, nor all! 15 My merry heart is springing, And knows not how to pine; 'Tis full of joy and singing, And radiancy divine, The Sun whose smiles so cheers me Is Jesus Christ alone; To have Him always near me Is heav'n itself begun.

Rise! To Arms! With Prayer Employ You

Author: W. E. Arends, 1677-1721 ; J. M. Sloan, 1835-after 1890 Hymnal: ELH1996 #518 (1996) Lyrics: 1 Rise! To arms! With prayer employ you, O Christians, lest the Foe destroy you; For Satan has designed your fall. Wield God's Word, a weapon glorious; Against each foe you'll be victorious. Our God will set you o'er them all. Is Satan strong and fell? Here is Immanuel. Sing hosanna! The strong ones yield, With Christ our Shield, And we as conqu'ror's hold the field. 2 Cast afar this world's vain pleasures, Aye, boldly fight for heav'nly treasures, And steadfast be in Jesus' might. He will help, whate'er betide you, And naught will harm with Christ beside you; By faith you'll conquer in the fight. Then shame, thou weary soul! Look forward to the goal: There joy waits thee. The race, then, run; The combat done, Thy crown of glory will be won. 3 Wisely fight, for time is fleeting; The hours of grace are fast retreating; Short, short, is this our earthly way. Then the trump the dead is waking And sinners all with fear are quaking, With joy the saints will greet that Day. Bless God, our triumph's sure, Though long we did endure Scorn and trial. Thou, Son of God, To Thine abode Wilt lead the way Thyself hast trod. 4 Jesus, all Thy children cherish And keep them that they never perish Whom Thou hast purchased with Thy blood. Let new life to us be given That we may look to Thee in heaven Whenever fearful is our mood. Thy spirit on us pour That we may love Thee more-- Hearts o'erflowing; And then will we Be true to Thee In death and life eternally.

What God Ordains Is Always Good

Author: S. Rodigast, 1649-1708 Hymnal: ELH1996 #519 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7.7 Lyrics: 1 What God ordains is always good: His will abideth holy. As He directs my life for me, I follow meek and lowly. God indeed In ev'ry need Doth well know how to shield me; To Him, then, I will yield me. 2 What God ordains is always good: He never will deceive me; He leads me in His own right way, And never will He leave me. I take content What He hath sent; His hand that sends me sadness Will turn my tears to gladness. 3 What God ordains is always good: His loving thought attends me; No poison can be in the cup That my Physician sends me. My God is true; Each morn anew I'll trust His grace unending, My life to Him commending. 4 What God ordains is always good: He is my Friend and Father; He suffers naught to do me harm, Though many storms may gather. Now I may know Both joy and woe, Some day I shall see clearly That He hath loved me dearly. 5 What God ordains is always good: Though I the cup am drinking Which savors now of bitterness, I take it without shrinking. For after grief God grants relief, My heart with comfort filling And all my sorrow stilling. 6 What God ordains is always good: This truth remains unshaken. Though sorrow, need, or death be mine, I shall not be forsaken. I fear no harm, For with His arm He shall embrace and shield me; So to my God I yield me.
