Oh, joy of joys! God so did love
Hymnal: SSBR1909 #101 (1903) Lyrics: 1 Oh, joy of joys! God so did love
This world and show compassion,
That He sent down from heaven above
His Son for our salvation.
So deep in sin this world was bound,
Had God His Son not given,
Our bonds thus riven,
No help had e'er been found,
However man had striven.
2 This doth our hearts now satisfy,
And quiets all our terrors,
That Jesus Christ our Lord did die
To save us from our errors.
O God, Thy love to us is great!
Thy mercies are most tender!
Our sole defender,
None in this earthly state
Thee ample praise can render.
3 He who on Jesus Christ doth trust,
Shall happy be in heaven;
The happiness which once was lost
Through Jesus Christ is given,
For God His Son did never send
Here for our condemnation;
His incarnation
Had for its gracious end
Our joy and our salvation.
4 But all who turn from Christ away
Shall be condemned for ever;
Their doom is sealed this very day,
And death awaits them ever.
For since they willfully refused
Salvation to inherit
Through Jesus' merit,
They stand of sin accused,
And so must suffer for it.
5 All who are faithful unto death
Are given life for ever,
The life which is the fruit of faith
In Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Give us, O Lord, the faith to come
And ever cling to Jesus!
When death releases
Our souls, oh, take them home,
To dwell in heavenly places.

Oh, joy of joys! God so did love
Oh, what praises shall we render
Hymnal: SSBR1909 #4 (1903) Lyrics: 1 Oh, what praises shall we render
To the Lord who reigns above,
For His mercies constant, tender,
For His condescending love!
Though we often have offended,
And transgressed His holy will,
Still has he our souls befriended;
We may call Him Father still.
2 Heavenly Father, Thou hast taught us
Thus to seek Thee in our youth;
Hitherto Thy grace hath brought us,
Lead us onward in Thy truth.
We are weak, do Thou uphold us,
And from every snare defend;
Let Thy mighty arms enfold us,
Save us, keep us, to the end.
3 Oh, our Father, great and glorious!
Draw our youthful hearts to Thee;
Let Thy grace be there victorious,
Let Thy love our portion be.
May we know Thy great salvation,
Serve and love Thee all our days;
Then in heaven, Thy habitation,
Join to sing Thine endless praise.
Oh, what praises shall we render
On Jordan's rugged banks I stand
Hymnal: SSBR1909 #149 (1903) Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's rugged banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
2 Oh, the transporting, rapturous scene,
That rises to my sight!
Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
And rivers of delight!
3 O'er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God, the sun, for ever reigns,
And scatters night away.
4 No chilling winds or poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.
5 When shall I reach that happy place,
And be for ever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in His bosom rest?
6 Filled with delight, my raptured soul
Can here no longer stay;
Though Jordan's waves around me roll,
Fearless I'd launch away. Topics: The Christian Graces; Hope Longing for heaven
On Jordan's rugged banks I stand
On the mountain's top appearing
Hymnal: SSBR1909 #84 (1903) Lyrics: 1 On the mountain's top appearing,
Lo! the sacred herald stands,
Welcome news to Zion bearing,
Zion long in hostile lands.
Mourning captive,
God Himself will loose thy bands.
2 Has the night been long and mournful?
Have thy friends unfaithful proved?
Have thy foes been proud and scornful,
By thy sighs and tears unmoved?
Cease thy mourning,
Zion still is well beloved.
30 God, thy God, will now restore thee;
He Himself appears thy Friend;
All thy foes shall flee before thee;
Here their boasts and triumphs end;
Great deliverance
Zion's King vouchsafes to send.
4 Enemies no more shall trouble;
All thy wrongs shall be redressed;
For thy shame thou shalt have double,
In thy Maker's favor blest:
All thy conflicts
End in everlasting rest. Topics: The Christian Church; Reformation and Mission Mission

Onward, Christian soldiers
Hymnal: SSBR1909 #121 (1903) Lyrics: 1 Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
Christ, the royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See His banners go!
Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
2 At the sign of triumph
Satan's armies flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers,
On to victory!
Hell's foundations quiver,
At the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise!
Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
3 Like a mighty army
Moves the church of God:
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod.
We are not divided,
All one body we,
One in hope, in doctrine,
One in charity.
Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
4 Crowns and thrones may perish
Kingdoms rise and wane,
But the church of Jesus
Constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never
'Gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ's own promise,
And that cannot fail.
Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
5 Onward, then, ye faithful,
Join our happy throng,
Blend with ours yours voices,
In the triumph-song!
Glory, laud, and honor
Unto Christ, the King:
This through countless ages,
Men and angels sing.
Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before. Topics: The Christian Graces; Love Sanctification

Pray, tell me, how cam'st thou so easily in
Hymnal: SSBR1909 #99 (1903) Lyrics: 1 Pray, tell me, how cam'st thou so easily in
Through yonder bright portals of heaven,
Since not to a soul here polluted by sin
Admission there ever was given?
Wast thou not akin to the fallen?
2 By grace did I live, and in grace did I die,
By grace did I enter these portals,
Lo, this is the ground and the reason why I
Am one of the blessed immortals,
Who sing hallelujah for ever.
3 Oh, blessed art thou who in life and in death
Hast grace for thine only foundation!
For sinners condemned, so His holy Word saith,
Can plead nothing else for salvation.
For grace, then, give thanks everlasting. Topics: The Christian Graces; Faith Justification
Pray, tell me, how cam'st thou so easily in
Prepare the way, O Zion!
Hymnal: SSBR1909 #13 (1903) Lyrics: 1 Prepare the way, O Zion!
Ye awful deeps, rise high,
Sink low, ye towering mountains,
The Lord is drawing nigh:
The righteous King of glory,
Foretold in sacred story.
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!
2 O Zion, He approacheth,
Thy Lord and King for aye!
Palm-branches strew with gladness
Spread garments in His way.
God's promise faileth never,
Hosianna sound forever!
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!
3 Fling wide thy portals, Zion,
And hail Thy glorious King;
His tidings of salvation
To every people bring,
Who, waiting yet in sadness
Would sing His praise with gladness.
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!
4 He cometh not with warriors,
And not with pomp and show;
Yet smiteth He with terror
Sin, death, and every foe.
The Spirit's sword He wieldeth,
Not e'en to death He yieldeth,
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name.
5 Give heed, thou sinful people,
Thy King and Saviour own:
The kingdom which He foundeth
Is not an earthly one;
No power can overthrow it,
Nor earthly wisdom know it.
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!
6 The throne which He ascendeth
Is fixed in heaven above:
His sanctified dominion
Is light alone and love.
With grace and peace abounding
His praise be ever sounding.
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!
7 Jerusalem is fallen,
And closed its temple-door;
Its sacrifices ended;
Its scepter is no more.
Christ's kingdom never ceaseth,
Its glory still increaseth.
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!

Rejoice, all ye believers
Hymnal: SSBR1909 #14 (1903) Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, all ye believers,
And let your lights appear!
The evening is advancing,
The darker night is near,
The Bridegroom is arising,
And soon He draweth nigh.
Up, pray, and watch, and wrestle,--
At midnight comes the cry.
2 The watchers on the mountain
Proclaim the Bridegroom near;
Go meet Him as He cometh,
With hallelujahs clear.
The marriage-feast is waiting,
The gates wide-open stand:
Up, up, ye heirs of glory.
The Bridegroom is at hand!
3 Ye saints, who here in patience
Your cross and sufferings bore,
Shall live and reign for ever,
When sorrow is no more.
Around the throne of glory
The Lamb ye shall behold,
In triumph cast before Him
Your diadems of gold!
4 Our Hope and Expectation,
O Jesus, now appear;
Arise, Thou Sun so longed for,
O'er this benighted sphere!
With hearts and hands uplifted;
We plead, O Lord, to see
The day of earth's redemption,
That brings us unto Thee! Topics: The Christian Festivals; Advent and Christmas Advent

Rest of the weary
Hymnal: SSBR1909 #100 (1903) Lyrics: 1 Rest of the weary,
Joy of the sad;
Hope of the dreary,
Hope of the glad;
Home of the stranger,
Strength to the end,
Refuge from danger,
Saviour and Friend.
2 Pillow, where, lying,
Love rests its head;
Peace af the dying,
Life of the dead;
Path of the lowly,
Prize at the end;
Breath of the holy,
Saviour and Friend.
3 When my feet stumble,
I'll to Thee cry;
Crown of the humble,
Cross of the High;
When my steps wander,
Over me bend,
Truer and fonder,
Saviour and Friend.
4 Ever, confessing
Thee, I will raise
Unto Thee blessing,
Glory, and praise:--
All my endeavor,
World without end
Thine to be ever,
Saviour and Friend. Topics: The Christian Graces; Faith Justification
Rest of the weary
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Hymnal: SSBR1909 #96 (1903) Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee!
Let the water and the blood
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the perfect cure,
Save me Lord, and make me pure,
2 Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill Thy Law's demands:
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears for ever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save and Thou alone!
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the Fountain fly:
Wash me, Saviour, or I die!
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee!

Safe in the arms of Jesus
Hymnal: SSBR1909 #106 (1903) Lyrics: 1 Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast,
There by His love o'ershaded,
Sweetly my soul shall rest.
Hark! 'tis the voice of angels,
Borne in a song to me,
Over the fields of glory,
Over the jasper sea.
Chorus:
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast,
There by His love o'ershaded,
Sweetly my soul shall rest.
2 Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe from corroding care,
Safe from the world's temptations,
Sin cannot harm me there.
Free from the blight of sorrow,
Free from my doubts and fears;
Only a few more trials,
Only a few more tears! [Chorus]
3 Jesus, my heart's dear refuge,
Jesus has died for me;
Firm on the Rock of Ages
Ever my trust shall be.
Here let me wait with patience,
Wait till the night is o'er;
Wait till I see the morning
Break on the golden shore. [Chorus] Topics: The Christian Graces; Faith Peace
Safe in the arms of Jesus
