Christians, Come, in Sweetest Measures

Author: Adam of St. Victor, d. 1172; R. Campbell, 1814-68 Hymnal: ELH1996 #411 (1996) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Christians, come, in sweetest measures Sing of those who spread the treasures In the holy Gospels shrined; Blessèd tidings of salvation, Peace on earth their proclamation, Love from God to lost mankind. 2 See the rivers four that gladden With their streams the better Eden, Planted by our Savior dear. Christ the Fountain, these the waters, Drink, O Zion’s sons and daughters; Drink and find salvation here. 3 Here our souls, by Jesus sated, More and more shall be translated Earth’s temptations far above; Freed from sin’s abhorred dominion, Soaring on angelic pinion, They shall reach the Source of love. 4 Then shall thanks and praise ascending For Thy mercies without ending Rise to Thee, O Savior blest. With Thy gracious aid defend us, Let Thy guiding light attend us, Bring us to Thy place of rest. Topics: Heavenly Riches; Trinity 1 Languages: English Tune Title: ALLES IST AN GOTTES SEGEN

Oh, bear the cross, whate'er betide, Take my example for your guide. 2 "I am the Light; I light the way, A godly life displaying; I bid you walk as in the day; I keep your feet from straying. I am the Way, and well I show How you must sojourn here below. 3 "I teach you how to shun and flee What harms your soul's salvation, Your heart from ev'ry guile to free, From sin and its temptation. I am the Refuge of the soul And lead you to your heav'nly goal. 4 "Thus when you find most hot the fray, I at your side stand ready; The fight is Mine, I lead the way, At all times firm and steady. A soldier false who will not heed when Christ the Captain takes the lead! 5 "Who seeks to save on earth his life Without Me, he shall lose it; But who for Me in earthly trife Now loses it shall find it; Who counts the cross for Me too hard Who counts not of Me, the Lord." 6 Then let us follow Christ, our Lord, And take the cross appointed And, firmly clinging to His Word, In suff'ring be undaunted. For all who bear the battle's strain The crown of life they shall obtain. Topics: Discipleship: Following Christ; Trinity 5 Languages: English Tune Title: MACH'S MIT MIR, GOTT

Schaeffer, 1813-96 Hymnal: ELH1996 #438 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 First Line: Come, O come, Thou quick'ning Spirit Lyrics: 1 Come, oh, come, Thou quick'ning Spirit, God from all eternity! May Thy power never fail us; Dwell within us constantly. Then shall truth and life and light Banish all the gloom of night. 2 Grant our hearts in fullest measure Wisdom, counsel, purity, That they ever may be seeking Only that which pleaseth Thee. Let Thy knowledge spread and grow, Working error's overthrow. 3 Show us, Lord, the path of blessing; When we trespass on our way, Cast, O Lord, our sins behind Thee And be with us day by day. Should we stray, O Lord, recall; Work repentance when we fall. 4 With our spirit bear Thou witness That we are the sons of God Who rely upon Him solely When we pass beneath the rod; For we know, as children should, That the cross is for our good. 5 Prompt us, Lord, to come before Him With a childlike heart to pray; Sigh in us, O Holy Spirit, When we know not what to say. Then our prayer is not in vain, And our faith new strength shall gain. 6 If our soul can find no comfort And despondency grows strong That the heart cries out in anguish: "O my God, how long, how long?" Comfort then the aching breast, Grant it courage, patience, rest. 7 Holy Spirit, strong and mighty, Thou who makest all things new, Make Thy work within us perfect And the evil foe subdue. Grant us weapons for the strife And with vict'ry crown our life. 8 Guard, O God, our faith forever; Let not Satan, death, or shame Ever part us from our Savior; "Lord our Refuge" is Thy name. Though our flesh cry ever: Nay! Be Thy Word to us still Yea! 9 And when life's frail thread is breaking, Then assure us more and more, As the heirs of life unending, Of the glory there in store, Glory never yet expressed, Glory of the saints at rest.
