In Jesus' Name

Author: J. Frederiksen, 1603-41; G. A. T. Rygh, 1860-1942 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: In Jesus' name Our work must all be done Lyrics: 1 In Jesus' name Our work must all be done If it shall compass our true good and aim, And not end in shame alone; For ev'ry deed Which in it doth proceed, Success and blessing gains Till it the goal attains. Thus we honor God on high And ourselves are blessed thereby; Wherein our true good remains. 2 In Jesus' name We praise our God on high, He blesses them who spread abroad His fame, And we do His will thereby. E'er hath the Lord Done great things by His Word, And still doth bare His arm His wonders to perform; Hence we should in ev'ry clime Magnify His name sublime, Who doth shield us from all harm. 3 In Jesus' name We live and we will die; If then we live, His love we will proclaim; If we die, we gain thereby. In Jesus' name, Who from heav'n to us came, We shall again rise To meet Him in the skies, When at last, saved by His grace, We shall see Him face to face, Live with Him in Paradise.

In Jesus I Find Rest and Peace

Author: Unknown; G. A. T. Rygh, 1860-1942 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In Jesus I find rest and peace-- The world is full of sorrow; His wounds are my abiding-place; Let the unknown tomorrow Bring what it may, There I can stay, My faith finds all I need today, I will not trouble borrow. 2 Until I found that crystal spring, My way was dull and dreary; I looked for peace in many a thing; But still my soul grew weary. Unsatisfied, All things I tried, And yet my soul had not espied The fount of life so near me. 3 My soul was carnal, blind, and bound By sin, and never sought Thee, Lord Jesus, though I ever found All else no comfort brought me, No peace, no rest Within my breast; My troubled soul remained unblest, Of Thee I ne'er bethought me. 4 In pity, then, Thou cam'st to me, Thine arms to me extending; I heard Thy voice: Come unto me And rest in peace unending. Immanuel Loves thee full well, He saves thy soul from death and hell, In perils thee defending. 5 O Jesus, I must now confess The world hath but vexation And anguish, sorrow, dire distress, As is Thy declaration. In Thee is peace And sweet surcease; Thy bosom is my resting-place Where I find consolation. 6 To me the preaching of the cross Is wisdom everlasting; Thy death alone redeems my loss; On Thee my burden casting, I, in Thy name, A refuge claim From sin and death and from all shame-- Blest be Thy name, O Jesus! 7 O Jesus, may I constant be, Forever with Thee staying! O may I feel love's mastery, My ev'ry fear allaying! The dove at last Hath found sweet rest From all her weary, futile quest, Although she long went straying.

Behold the Prince of Peace-- Now are the days fulfilled. Topics: God's Protection; Christmas 2

Jesus, into Thy possession I resign myself today; In Thy wounds I find relief From all sorrow, sin, and grief. 4 Help me as the morn is breaking, In the spirit to arise, So from careless sloth awaking, That, when o'er the aged skies Shall the Judgment Day appear, I may see it without fear. 5 Lead me, and forsake me never, Guide my wanderings by Thy Word; As Thou hast been, be Thou ever My Defense, my Refuge, Lord. Never safe except with Thee, Thou my faithful Guardian be. 6 O my God, I now commend me Wholly to Thy mighty hand; As the powers that Thou dost lend me Let me use at Thy command. Lord, my Shield, my Strength divine, Keep me with Thee, I am Thine. 7 From all evil one's dark power Let Thine angel guard my soul; Warning, guiding me each hour, All the devil's wiles control Till my final rest be come, And Thine angel bear me home.

Heal my wounded soul; remove These too sore temptations. I am weak; Father, speak Thou of peace and gladness; Comfort Thou my sadness. 3 Weary am I of my pain, Weary with my sorrow, Sighing still for help in vain, Longing for the morrow. Why wilt Thou Tarry now! Wilt Thou friendless leave me And of hope bereave me? 4 Hence ye foes, He comes in grace; God hath deigned to hear me. I may come before His face, He is inly near me. He o'erthrows All my foes, Death and hell are vanquished In whose bonds I languished. 5 Father, hymns to Thee we raise Here and once in heaven, And the Son and Spirit praise, Who our bonds have riven. Evermore We adore Thee whose love hath stirred us And whose pity heard us. Topics: Humility: Pharisee and Publican; Trinity 11 Used With Tune: STRAF MICH NICHT

By night and day God is my Stay, He never sleeps nor slumbers. 3 Lord Jesus, this I ask of Thee, Deny me not this favor: When Satan sorely troubles me, Then do not let me waver.
