To God, the Father, Son

Hymnal: ELH1880 #D1 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: To God, the Father, Son, And Spirit, glory be, Praise to the Holy Three in One, To all eternity. Languages: English

Hymnal: ELH1880 #44 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The year begins with Thee, And Thou begin'st with woe, To let the world of sinners see That blood for sin must flow. 2 Thine infant cries, O Lord, Thy tears upon the breast, Are not enough,--the legal sword Must do its stern behest. 3 Am I a child of tears, Cradled in care and woe? And seems it hard my vernal years Few vernal joys can show? 4 Seemeth it strange to me My own will to deny? Seemeth it sad, my soul, to thee, Under the yoke to lie? 5 I look, and hold my peace: The Giver of all good E'en from the womb takes no release From suffering, tears, and blood. 6 That I may reap in love, Help me to sow in fear: So life a winter's morn may prove To a bright, endless year.

Ye saints, proclaim abroad

Hymnal: ELH1880 #60 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ye saints, proclaim abroad The honors of your King; To Jesus, your incarnate God, Your songs of praises sing. 2 Not angels round the throne Of majesty above, Are half so much obliged as we To our Immanuel's love. 3 They never sunk so low, They are not raised so high; They never knew such depths of woe, Such heights of majesty. 4 The Savior did not join Their nature to His own; For them He shed no blood divine, Nor breathed a single groan. 5 May we with angels vie The Savior to adore; Our debts are greater far than theirs, O be our praises more!

"The Lord is ris'n indeed"

Hymnal: ELH1880 #89 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 "The Lord is ris'n indeed," And are the tidings true? Yes, we beheld the Savior bleed, And saw him living too. 2 "The Lord is ris'n indeed," Then Justice asks no more; Mercy and Truth are now agreed, Who stood opposed before. 3 "The Lord is ris'n indeed," Then is the work performed; The captive surely now is freed, And death, our foe, disarmed. 4 "The Lord is ris'n indeed," Attending angels hear; Up to the courts of heav'n, with speed, The joyful tidings bear. 5 Then take your golden lyres, And strike each cheerful chord, Join all the bright celestial choirs To sing our risen Lord.

Come, Holy Spirit, come

Hymnal: ELH1880 #109 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, come; Let Thy bright beams arise; Dispel the darkness from our minds, And open all our eyes. 2 Convince us all of sin, Then lead to Jesus’ blood, And to our wond’ring view reveal The mercies of our God. 3 Revive our drooping faith, Our doubts and fears remove, And kindle in our breasts the flame= Of never-dying love. 4 ’Tis Thine to cleanse the heart, To sanctify the soul, To pour fresh life in ev'ry part, And new-create the whole. 5 Dwell, Spirit, in our hearts; Our minds from bondage free; Then we shall know and praise and love, The Father, Son, and Thee.

Let ev'ry ear attend

Hymnal: ELH1880 #184 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Let ev'ry mortal ear attend, And ev'ry heart rejoice; The trumpet of the Gospel sounds With an inviting voice. 2 Ho! all ye starving souls That feed upon the wind, And vainly strive with earthly toys To fill an empty mind. 3 Here wisdom has prepared A soul-reviving feast, And bids your longing appetites The rich provision taste. 4 Ho! ye that pant for living streams, And pine away and die, Here you may quench your raging thirst With springs that never dry. 5 Rivers of love and mercy here In a rich ocean join; Salvation in abundance flows, Like floods of milk and wine. 6 The gates of Gospel grace Stand open night and day: Lord! we are come to seek supplies, And drive our wants away.

I love Thy Zion, Lord!

Hymnal: ELH1880 #194 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I love Thy Zion, Lord! The house of Thine abode; The Church our blest Redeemer saved By Thine own precious blood. 2 I love Thy Church, O God! Her walls before Thee stand, Dear as the apple of Thine eye, And graven on Thy hand. 3 Should I with scoffers join Her alters to abuse? No! better far my tongue were dumb, My hand its skill should lose. 4 O ne'er may I forget Her welfare nor her woe; Lest ev'ry joy my heart forsake, And ev'ry grief o'erflow. 5 For her my tears shall fall; For her my prayers ascend; To her my cares and toils be given, Till toils and cares shall end. 6 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise.

Great is the Lord our God

Hymnal: ELH1880 #201 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord our God, And let His praise be great; He makes the church His abode, His most delightful seat. 2 In Zion God is known, A refuge in distress: How bright has His salvation shone Through all her palaces! 3 When kings against her joined, And saw the Lord was there, In wild confusion of the mind, They fled with hasty fear. 4 Oft have our fathers told, Our eyes have often seen, How well our God secures the fold Where His own sheep have been. 5 In ev'ry new distress We’ll to His house repair; We’ll think upon His wondrous grace, And seek deliv'rance there.
