Creator, Spirit, Holy Dove

Author: Dr. Martin Luther; Richard Massie Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #104b (1908) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Lyrics: 1 Creator, Spirit, Holy Dove, Visit Thy people from above, Fill them with graces, and restore Thy creatures as they were before. 2 For Comforter is Thy sweet name, A gift which from the Highest came, A precious ointment from above, A living fount, a fire of love. 3 Our minds enlighten, and inspire Our souls with love's celestial fire; And since thou know'st how frail we be, Confirm and make us strong in Thee. 4 Thou, with Thy grace's sev'nfold band, The finger art on God's right hand; Thou dost the Father's promise send With tongues to earth's remotest end. 5 Drive far away our wily foe, And by Thy grace sweet peace bestow; That in Thy footsteps we may run, And soul-destroying mischief shun. 6 Let us by Thee the Father know, His Son, Christ Jesus, also show, That full of faith we may know Thee Derived from both eternally. 7 To God the Father, and the Son Who rose again, be honor done, With Him, who came at Pentecost, The Comforter, the Holy Ghost.

Eternal Son of God, O Thou

Author: A. J. Rambach, 1817-1833; Anon. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #131 (1908) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Lyrics: 1 Eternal Son of God, O Thou, Before whom earth and heaven bow, Regard Thy people as they raise To Thee their songs of pray'r and praise. 2 This house they dedicate to Thee, That here they may Thy glory see; Thy body and Thy blood they here Receive, their fainting souls to cheer. 3 Here in baptismal water pure They find for sins a gracious cure; Their children here to Thee they bring, O Thou, our death-subduing King. 4 Here sin's diseases healing find, The weak grow strong, light cheers the blind, The troubled heart with peace is blest, And weariness finds heavenly rest. 5 When tempests shake the world around, The rock-built Church secure is found; The gates of hell may here assail Whom Christ defends, but not prevail. 6 To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One; Be praise: do Thou, whom we adore, Teach us to praise Thee evermore.

While o'er our guilty land, O Lord

Author: Rev. Samuel Davies Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #152 (1908) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Lyrics: 1 While o’er our guilty land, O Lord, We view the terrors of Thy sword, O whither shall the helpless fly? To whom but Thee direct their cry? 2 The helpless sinner's cries and tears Are grown familiar to Thine ears; Oft has Thy mercy sent relief, When all was fear and hopeless grief. 3 See, we repent, we weep, we mourn— To our forsaken God we turn! O spare our guilty country— spare The Church which Thou hast planted there. 4 We plead Thy grace, indulgent God; We plead Thy Son’s atoning blood, We plead Thy gracious promises-- And are they unavailing pleas? 5 These pleas, presented at Thy throne, Have brought ten thousand blessings down On guilty lands in helpless woe; Let them prevail and help us, too.

Thy soul, O Jesus! hallow me

Author: Johann Scheffler (Angelus Silesius); Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #231 (1908) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Lyrics: 1 Thy soul, O Jesus! hallow me, Thy spirit steep me all in Thee; Thy body, pierc'd by ruthless steel, My wretched soul and body heal. 2 The water from Thy side that poured, For me a cleansing bath afford, And all Thy blood, with life divine, Revive these sluggish powers of mine. 3 The bloody sweat upon Thy face Deliver me from death's embrace, And all Thy passion, cross, and pain, With strength my feebleness sustain. 4 O Christ! turn not away from me, Accept and hide me quite in Thee, Within Thy holy wounds enclose, And keep me safe when foes oppose. 5 In death's dark hour with me abide, And place me, Savior! at Thy side, Where all Thy blessed saints on high To sing Thy praise, and never die.

O Great High Priest! forget me not

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D.; Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #232 (1908) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Lyrics: 1 O great High Priest! forget not me, Though I have oft forgotten Thee, But give me strength for all the strife, And all the toil and pain of life. 2 Let not a wav'ring heart be mine, That is the world's and would be Thine; May I in faith Thy promise hold, And never wander from Thy fold. 3 Let me not crave the wealth of earth, Its honors and its giddy mirth, But still remember I am Thine, And be content that Thou art mine. 4 Thou hast redeemed me with Thy blood, And washed me in the mystic flood; Let not this grace be all in vain, Nor let me pierce Thy side again. 5 To Thee I humbly raise mine eyes, Do not my sinful soul despise; Perfect the work Thou hast begun, And let Thy saving will be done.

An awful mystery is here

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #267 (1908) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Lyrics: 1 An awful mystery is here To challenge faith and waken fear; The Savior comes as food divine, Concealed in earthly bread and wine. 2 This world is loveless—but above, What wondrous boundlessness of love! The King of Glory stoops to me My spirit’s life and strength to be. 3 In consecrated wine and bread No eye perceives the myst'ry dread; But Jesus’ word is strong and clear: My body and my blood are here. 4 How dull are all the powers of sense Employed on proofs of love immense! The richest food remains unseen, And highest gifts appear how mean! 5 But here we have no boon of earth, And faith alone discerns its worth: The word, not sense, must be our guide, And faith assure, since sight’s denied. 6 Lord! show us still that Thou art good, And grant us evermore this food; Give faith to ev'ry wav'ring soul, And make each wounded spirit whole.

Now lay we calmly in the grave

Author: Michael Weisse; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #449 (1908) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Lyrics: 1 Now lay we calmly in the grave This form, whereof no doubt we have That it shall rise again that day, In glorious triumph o'er decay. 2 And so to earth again we trust What came from dust, and turns to dust, And from the dust shall surely rise When the last trumpet fills the skies. 3 His soul is living now in God, Whose grace his pardon hath bestowed, Who through His Son redeemed him here From bonds of Satan, sin, and fear. 4 His trials and his griefs are past; A blessed end is his at last; He bore Christ's yoke and did His will, And though he died he liveth still. 5 He lives where none do mourn and weep, And calmly shall this body sleep, Till God shall death himself destroy, And raise it into glorious joy. 6 He suffered pain and grief below, Christ heals him now from all his woe; For him hath endless joy begun; He shines in glory like the sun. 7 Then let us leave him to his rest, And homeward turn, for he is blest; And we must well our souls prepare, When death shall come, to meet him there. 8 So help us, Christ, our Hope in loss; Thou hast redeemed us by Thy cross From endless death and misery; We praise, we bless, we worship Thee!
