O What Precious Balm and Healing

Author: J. Heermann, 1585-1647; R. Massie, 1800-87 Hymnal: ELH1996 #293 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Tune Title: DER AM KREUZ Lyrics: 1 O what precious balm and healing, Jesus, in Thy wounds I find! Ev'ry hour that I am feeling Pains of body and of mind; Should some evil thought rush in, And provoke my soul to sin, Thoughts of Thy deep wounds from sinning Keep me in its first beginning. 2 Should some lust or sharp temptation Prove too strong for flesh and blood, Lo! I think upon Thy Passion, And the breach is soon made good: Or should Satan press me hard, Thinking I am off my guard, Christ, I say, for me was wounded, And the tempter flees confounded. 3 If the world my heart entices On the broad and easy road, And doth by its gay devices Silence ev'ry thought of God, When the heavy load I see Which, dear Lord, was laid on Thee, I can still each wild emotion, Calm and blest in my devotion. 4 Lord, whate'er may pain or grieve me, Thy dear wounds can make me whole; When my heart sinks, they revive me, Life pours in upon my soul: May Thy comfort render sweet Ev'ry bitter cup I meet; Thou who by Thy death and Passion Hast procured my soul's salvation. 5 Lord, on Thee alone I stay me, Safely hid beneath Thy wing; Death can neither hurt nor slay me, Thy death took away his sting: That I may in Thee have part, Comfort, strengthen, heal my heart; Light, and life, and love bestowing, All from Thy free mercy flowing. 6 Well of life, if Thou art near me, Springing deep within my heart, When the last dread hour shall try me, I can feel no inward smart: If I hide myself in Thee, Not a foe can injure me; He shall overcome who hideth In Thy wounds, and there abideth.

I Walk in Danger All the Way

Ristad, 1863-1938 Hymnal: ELH1996 #252 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.8.8 Tune Title: DER LIEBEN SONNE LICHT UND PRACHT Lyrics: 1 I walk in danger all the way; The thought shall never leave me That Satan, who has marked his prey, Is plotting to deceive me. This foe with hidden snares May seize me unawares If e'er I fail to watch and pray; I walk in danger all the way. 2 I pass through trials all the way, With sin and ills contending; In patience I must bear each day The cross of God's own sending. Oft in adversity I know not where to flee, When storms of woe my soul dismay; I pass through trials all the way. 3 Death doth pursue me all the way; Nowhere I rest securely. He comes by night, he comes by day, And takes his prey most surely. A failing breath, and I In death's strong grasp may lie To face eternity for aye. Death doth pursue me all the way. 4 I walk with angels all the way; They shield me and befriend me. All Satan's pow'r is held at bay When heav'nly hosts attend me. They are my sure defense, All fear and sorrow, hence! Unharmed by foes, do what they may, I walk with angels all the way. 5 I walk with Jesus all the way; His guidance never fails me. Within His wounds I find a stay When Satan's pow'r assails me, And, by His footsteps led, My path I safely tread. In spite of ills that threaten may, I walk with Jesus all the way. 6 My walk is heav'nward all the way; Await my soul, the morrow, When thou shalt find release for aye From all thy sin and sorrow. All worldly pomp, begone! To heav'n I now press on. For all the world I would not stay; My walk is heav'nward all the way. Topics: Lent 1 Scripture: Daniel 6:19-24 Languages: English

Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 3 O may we all hear when our Shepherd doth call, In accents persuasive and tender, That while there is time we make haste one and all And find Him, our mighty Defender. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 4 O that we the throng of the ransomed may swell, To whom He hath granted remission. God graciously make us in heaven to dwell And save us from endless perdition. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 5 God grant that I may of His infinite love Remain in His merciful keeping; And sit with the King at His table above, When here in the grace I am sleeping. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 6 All trials are then like a dream that is past, Forgotten all trouble and sorrow; All questions and doubts have been answered at last; Then dawneth eternity's morrow. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 7 The heavens shall ring with an anthem more grand Than ever on earth was recorded; The blest of the Lord shall receive at His hand The crown to the victors awarded. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! Scripture: Matthew 8:11 Languages: English

Who now should grieve in anguish sore In these our days of gladness? Thou Church of God, O sing this morn: To us is Christ the Savior born, O joy that none can sever! Alleluia! sing thou my heart, Now Christ is mine, I can depart To be with Him forever. Topics: Presentation of Christ; Christmas 1 Languages: English
