Guardian of Pure Hearts

Author: Johan Olof Wallin, 1779-1839; Last verse by Jesper Svedberg, 1653-1735 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #158b (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Hymnal Title: Hymnal and Order of Service First Line: Guardian of pure hearts and Hearer Lyrics: 1 Guardian of pure hearts, and Hearer, Lord, of every faithful prayer, In Thy courts one day is dearer, Than a thousand days elsewhere. Worn with earth's unrest, how sweet In Thy temple fair to meet! There to sing away each sorrow That from life and toil we borrow! 2 With the righteous oft it fareth Here, as if his deeds were ill; Blight fair virtue's flowers impaireth, Weeds of vice do flourish still; Joy and fortune haste away, Friends with friends--how short their stay! Rachel still her children mourneth, And her soul from comfort turneth. 3 But when here devoutly soareth High the temple-anthem sweet, Grief grows calm, no plaint outpoureth-- Hearts with holy rapture beat: Free from earthly clouds the soul Presses toward a higher goal, Takes from hope the comfort given, Speaks e'en now the tongue of heaven. 4 O my soul, thy wing ascending, Yet on Salem's mount shall rest; There where cherub-harps are blending With the singing of the blest; Let thy note of praise and prayer To thy God precede thee there, While e'en yet a care-worn mortal, Still without Thy Father's portal. 5 Days are dawning, days are flying! Hold thou fast the Word of God: "Lamp unto my feet", still crying "Light unto my dreary road!" Joy thou in that Holy Word Which of old on earth was heard, For man's peace and comfort given, Only guide from earth to heaven. 6 Let us, Christians, here that wander, As our fathers in their day, Piously together ponder, Gladly sing and meekly pray; Be the children's voices raised To the God their fathers praised. Let Thy bounty failing never Be on us and all forever. 7 Bless us, Father, and protect us, Be our souls' sure hiding-place, Let Thy wisdom still direct us, Light our darkness with Thy grace! Let Thy countenance on us shine, Fill us all with peace divine. Praise the Father, Son, and Spirit, Praise Him all that life inherit.

Father, Merciful and Holy

Author: Johann Rist, 1607-1667 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #181a (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Hymnal Title: Hymnal and Order of Service Lyrics: 1 Father, merciful and holy, Thee tonight I praise and bless, Who to labor true and lowly, Grantest ever meet success; Many a sin and many a woe, Many a fierce and subtle foe Hast Thou checked that once alarmed me, So that naught today has harmed me. 2 Now the light, that nature gladdens, And the pomp of day is gone, And my heart is tired and saddens, As the gloomy night comes on; Ah, then with thy changeless light Warm and cheer my heart to-night; As the shadow round me gather, Keep me close to Thee, my Father. 3 Though I have from Thee departed, Now I seek Thy face again, For Thy Son, the loving-hearted, Made our peace through bitter pain. Yes, far greater than our sin, Though it still be strong within, Is Thy love that fails us never, Mercy that endures forever. 4 Though my weary eyes are closing, And mhy senses fall asleep, Still my soul, on Thee reposing, Ever must it vigils keep. Let my Spirit longingly Always dram, my God, of Thee, Firmly unto Thee e'er cleaving, E'en in sleep Thy grace receiving. 5 Lord, the twilight now hath vanished, Send Thy blessing on my sleep, Every sin and terror banished, Let my rest be calm and deep. Soul and body, mind and health, Wife and children, house and wealth, Friend and foe, the sick, the stranger, Keep Thou safe from harm and danger. 6 O Thou mighty God, now hearken To the prayer Thy child hath made; Jesus, while the night-hours darken, Be Thou still my Hope, my Aid: Holy Ghost, on Thee I call, Friend and Comforter of all, Hear my earnest prayer, oh, hear me! Lord, Thou hearest, Thou art near me. Topics: Worship Languages: English Tune Title: WERDE MUNTER, MEIN GEMÜTHE

Comfort, Comfort Ye My People

Author: Johannes Olearius Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #76 (1927) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Hymnal Title: Hymnal for Church and Home Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye my people, Speak ye peace, thus saith our God; Comfort those who sit in darkness, Mourning 'neath their sorrows' load; Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover, And her warfare now is over. 2 For the Herald's voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance, Since the kingdom now is here. Oh! that warning cry obey, Now prepare for God a way! Let the valleys rise to meet Him, And the hills bow down to greet Him. 3 Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain: Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign; For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token That His word is never broken.

Like The Golden Sun Ascending

Author: T. Kingo Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #115 (1927) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Hymnal Title: Hymnal for Church and Home Lyrics: 1 Like the golden sun ascending, Breaking through the gloom of night, On the earth his glory spending So the darkness takes to flight; Thus my Jesus from the grave And death's dismal, dreadful cave, Rose triumphant Easter morning, At the early purple dawning. 2 Thanks to Thee, O Christ victorious! Thanks to Thee O Lord of life! Death hath now no power o'er us, Thou hast conquer'd in the strife; Thanks because Thou didst arise, And hast open'd Paradise! None can fully sing the glory Of the resurrection story. 3 For my heart finds consolation, And my fainting soul grows brave, When I stand in contemplation, At thy dark and dismal grave; When I see where Thou didst sleep In death's dungeon dark and deep, Yet didst break all bands asunder, Must I not rejoice and wonder? 4 Thou hast died for my transgression, All my sins on Thee were laid; Thou hast won for me salvation, On the cross my debt was paid; From the grave I shall arise, And shall meet Thee in the skies; Death itself is transitory, I shall lift my head in glory. 5 Satan's arrows all lie broken, Death and hell have met their doom; Christ, Thy rising is the token: Thou hast triumphed o'er the tomb; Thou hast buried all my woe, And my cup doth overflow; By Thy resurrection glorious I shall wave my palms victorious. 6 Grant me grace, O blessed Savior, And Thy Holy Spirit send, That my walk and my behavior May be pleasing to the end; That I may not fall again Into death's grim pit and pain Whence by grace Thou hast receiv'd me, And from which Thou hast relieved me.

Theirs is beauty’s fairest pleasure; Theirs is wisdom’s holiest treasure; You do ever lead your own, In the love of joys unknown.
