The Ancient Law Departs

Author: S. Besnault, d. 1724 Hymnal: ELH1996 #158 (1996) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Leviticus 12:6-8 Lyrics: 1 The ancient Law departs, And all its fears remove, For Jesus makes with faithful hearts A covenant of love. 2 The Light of Light Divine, True brightness undefiled, He bears for us the pain of sin A holy, spotless Child. 3 His infant body now Begins the cross to feel: Those precious drops of blood that flow For death the Victim seal. 4 Today the name is Thine At which we bend the knee. They call Thee Jesus, Child Divine; Our Jesus deign to be. 5 All praise, eternal Son, For Thy redeeming love, With Father, Spirit, ever One In glorious might above.

Lord, Hear the Voice of My Complaint

Author: J. Agricola, 1494-1566 ; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: ELH1996 #255 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.4.6.8 Scripture: 1 Kings 18:30-39 Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear the voice of my complaint, To Thee I now commend me, Let not my heart and hope grow faint, But deign Thy grace to send me. True faith from Thee, my God, I seek, The faith that loves Thee solely, Keeps me lowly, And prompt to aid the weak, And mark each word that Thou dost speak. 2 Yet more from Thee I dare to claim, Whose goodness is unbounded; Oh let me ne'er be put to shame, My hope be ne'er confounded; But e'en in death still find Thee true, And in that hour, else lonely, Trust Thee only, Not aught that I can do, For such false trust I sore should rue. 3 Oh grant that from my very heart My foes be all forgiven, Forgive my sins and heal their smart, And grant new life from heaven. Thy Word, that blessed food, bestow, Which best the soul canst nourish; Make it flourish Through all the storms of woe That else my faith might overthrow. 4 Then be the world my foe or friend, Keep me to her a stranger, Thy steadfast soldier to the end, Through pleasure and through danger. From Thee alone comes such high grace, No works of ours obtain it, Or can gain it; Our pride hath here no place, 'Tis Thy free promise we embrace. 5 Help me, for I am weak; I fight, Yet scarce can battle longer. I cling but to Thy grace and might, 'Tis Thou must make me stronger. When sore temptations are my lot, And tempests round me lower, Break their power; So, through deliv'rance wrought, I know that Thou forsak'st me not!

Blessed Is the Man

Døving, 1867-1937 Hymnal: ELH1996 #457 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 1 First Line: Blessed is the man that never Lyrics: 1 Blessed is the man that never Doth in godless counsel meet; Nor in sinners' way stands ever, Nor sits in the scorner's seat, But on God's all-perfect law Meditates with holy awe; Day and night he delves for treasure In the Word--'tis all his pleasure. 2 As a tree that has been planted By the flowing waters fair, In its season e'er is granted Fruits and foliage to bear; So is he, the righteous, seen Ever fruitful, ever green, And his leaf shall wither never, All he does shall prosper ever. 3 To the wicked 'tis not given Such a happy lot to share; As the chaff by wind is driven So shall the ungodly fare; They in judgment shall not stand, Nor be in the righteous band: These the Lord forsaketh never, Those shall be cast off forever. 4 For the Lord His people knoweth, His pure eyes behold their way, And the blessing He bestoweth Is their heritage for aye: But the wicked ever tend To their doom and to their end: God will all the righteous cherish, But the wicked ones shall perish.

Thus Christ, my Shepherd, leadeth me, My soul and body feedeth He And for their wants provideth. 3 And if I ever go astray, My wayward soul He turneth, To save the lost, to guide the way, For this He ever yearneth; He leadeth me, my soul to bless In His own path of righteousness For His name's sake and glory. 4 Why should I ever fear, O Lord, Whilst Thee I have beside me? Thou by Thy Spirit and Thy Word Dost comfort and dost guide me. In death's dark vale I'll fear no ill, For Thou, O Lord, art with me still, Thy rod and staff shall stay me. 5 Thou art my host; for me, Thy guest, A table Thou providest. Though foes be near, I am at rest, Thou still with me abidest. With oil anointest Thou my head, On me Thy blessing rich is shed, My cup with bliss o'erfloweth. 6 Thy goodness and Thy mercy, Lord, Shall follow me, attending The days Thou dost to me afford Until they reach their ending. Thereafter shall I in Thy love Dwell in Thy house in heav'n above Forever and forever. Topics: Jesus, Our Good Shepherd; Easter 3 Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST GEWISSLICH
