Hast To The Plow Thou Put Thy Hand

Author: J. C. Aaberg; N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #259 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Hast to the plow thou put thy hand, Let not thy spirit waver. Heed not the world’s allurements grand Nor pause for Sodom’s favor. But plow thy furrow, sow thy seed, Tho' tares and thorns thy work impede; For he who sows with weeping Shall soon in joy be reaping. 2 But should at times thy courage fail,-- For human strength may falter-- Let not the tempting world prevail On thee thy course to alter. He that would win must forward go; Retreat can bring thee naught but woe; When foes bid thee defiance, On God be thy reliance. 3 If to the course we faithful keep, The race will soon be ended; Yea, death itself is but a sleep, Its veil shall soon be rended. Then those who conquer in the strife Obtain the victor's crown of life And dwell in constant gladness, Forgetting all their sadness. 4 Press onward then in Jesus' name, Tho' thorns and rocks enclose thee; Yea, forward, tho' with sword and flame The bitter foe oppose thee. Thus shalt thou win the glorious prize And dwell with God in Paradise, To drink, on Zion's mountain, From life's eternal fountain.

O shepherds, shrink not with affright, but hear the angel’s warning. This child, now weak in infancy, our confidence and joy shall be, the power of Satan breaking, our peace eternal making. 2 This night of wonder, night of joy, was born the Christ, our brother. He comes, not mighty to destroy, to bid us love each other. How could he quit his high estate for such a world of greed and hate? What deep humiliation secured the world’s salvation! 3 Come, dearest child, into our hearts, and leave your crib behind you! Let this be where the new life starts for all who seek and find you. To you be honor, thanks, and praise, for all your gifts this time of grace. Come conquer and deliver this world, and us, forever.

Author: Joh. Rosenmüller; Catherine Winkworth; H. Brueckner Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #305 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Hark, a voice saith, all are mortal, Yea, all flesh must fade as grass; Only through a death-rent portal To a better world ye pass; Dust to dust must sink inglorious Ere this body rise victorious To the realms of life and light, Won for saints thro' Jesus' might. 2 Therefore, when my Father chooses, Willingly my life I'll yield; He but gains, nay, never loses, Who with Jesus quits the field; For in my Redeemer's merit Peace has found my troubled spirit, And in death my comfort this: Jesus' death assures me bliss. 3 In those bright celestial regions All is life and peace and joy; Souls are there in countless legions, Happy in the Lord's employ. There the Seraphim are dwelling Who, in holiness excelling, Praise with heaven's mighty host Father, Son and Holy Ghost. 4 There the patriarchs are living, There the prophets all abide, There th'apostles, homage giving, Ever dwell at Jesus' side. There the Lord's whole congregation Has its place of habitation; There, to honor God, their King, All their hallelujahs sing. 5 O blest city of the sainted, Wondrous fair Jerusalem, How thy beauty, pure, unattained, Sparkles like a precious gem! What sweet voices there are sounding, And what joys are there abounding! Night shall never follow day, Light from God will shine for aye.

Author: E. C. Homburg Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #319 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Of my life the life, O Jesus! Of my death the death also; Who hast given Thyself to ease us From our load of guilt and woe: By Thy death our ransom buying, And preserving us from dying, Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee, Blessed Jesus! ever be. 2 O what cruel provocations, Scourges of the tongue and rod, Spitting, shame, and accusations, Hast Thou borne, Thou Son of God! To redeem my soul from evil, And the bondage of the devil, Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee! Blessed Jesus! ever be. 3 Thou didst let Thyself be beaten, To deliver me from pain; Falsely charged, and sorely smitten, That Thy loss might be my gain. Thou hast suffered crucifixion For my comfort in affliction: Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee, Blessed Jesus! ever be. 4 For my proud and haughty spirit, Thy humiliation paid; For my death Thy death and merit Have a full atonement made: Thy reproaches and dishonor all have tended to my honor: Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee, Blessed Jesus! ever be. 5 From the heart, I thank Thee, Jesus, For the vast, stupendous load, Which Thou bearest to release us From the dreadful wrath of God: For Thy cruel death and passion, Agony and sore temptation, For Thy sharp and bitter pain, Thanks forever, Lord, Amen.
