All glory be to God on High

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a1 (1895) Lyrics: 1 All glory be to God on High, Who hath our race befriended! To us no harm shall now come nigh, The feud at last is ended; God showeth His good will to men, And peace shall dwell on earth again; O thank Him for His goodness! 2 We praise, we worship Thee, we trust And give Thee thanks forever, O Father, that Thy rule is just And wise, and changes never: Thy boundless power o'er all things reigns, Done is whate'er Thy will ordains; Blest we that Thou art Ruler! 3 O Jesus Christ, our God and Lord, Son of Thy heavenly Father, O Thou who hast our peace restored And straying sheep dost gather, Thou Lamb of God, to Thee on high, From out our depths we sinners cry, Have mercy on us, Jesus! 4 O Holy Ghost, Thou precious Gift, Thou Comforter unfailing, O'er Satan's snares our souls uplift, And let Thy power availing Avert our woes and calm our dread; For us the Savior's blood was shed, We trust in Thee to save us!

Almighty God, Thy Word is cast

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a10 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, Thy Word is cast Like seed upon the ground; O let the dew of heaven descend, And shed its influence round. 2 Let not the foe of Christ and man This holy seed remove; Make it take root in every heart, And grow in faith and love! 3 Let not this world's deceitful cares, Nor worldly wealth and joy, Nor scorching beam, nor stormy blast, The rising plant destroy. 4 Where'er the word of life is sown, A large increase bestow, That all who hear Thy message, Lord, Its saving power may know.

The Lord of life, with glory crowned

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a100 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Lord of life, with glory crowned, On heaven's exalted throne, Forgets not those, for whom on earth He heaved His dying groan. 2 His greatness now no tongue of man Or seraph bright can tell; Yet still the chief of all His joys, That souls are saved from hell. 3 For this He taught, and toiled, and bled; For this His life was giv'n; For this He fought, and vanquished death; For this He reigns in heav'n. 4 Join, all ye saints beneath the sky, Your grateful praise to give; Sing loud hosannas to His name, With whom you too shall live.

Come, O come, Thou quick'ning Spirit

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a102 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Come, O come, Thou quick'ning Spirit, God from all eternity! Let us Thy blest grace inherit, And our souls be filled by Thee; Then will spirit, life, and light Dissipate our inner night. 2 Grant our hearts in heavenly measure Wisdom, counsel, purity, That we never may take pleasure In aught but what pleases Thee; In Thy knowledge make us whole, And from error free the soul. 3 Let us trust Thy witness wholly, That we are the sons of God, Who rely upon Him solely, When they pass beneath the rod; For the Father's chastenings Bless above all earthly things. 4 Prompt us, that we come before Him Joyously with hope in view, Sigh in us, when we implore Him, And e'er plead for us anew; Then our prayer will not be vain, And our faith new strength will gain. 5 Should our soul for comfort languish, And despondency grow strong, That the heart must cry in anguish: "Oh, my God, my God, how long!" Sooth Thou then the aching breast, Grant us patience, strength, and rest. 6 Mighty Spirit of reliance! Sure Defence in all our need; When the foe bids us defiance, Bid Thy work in us God speed! Grand us weapons for the strife, And with vict'ry crown our life. 7 Guard our faith, that naught molest it-- Satan, death, or scornful jeer-- Let no power from us wrest it, Thou, O God, our Trust and Cheer! Though our heart would fain say nay, Be Thy Word to us still Yea. 8 And when life with death is blending, Then assure us yet the more, As the heirs of life unending, Of the glory there in store, Which can never be expressed, But with which we shall be blest.

Hear us, Cheer us By Thy teaching, Let our preaching And our labor Praise the Lord and bless our neighbor. 4 Direct us by Thy counsel still, That we may understand Thy will; We err unless Thou guide us.

Heed us! Speed us! O'er us hover As our Cover; Thy Salvation Be our constant consolation. 6 O mighty Rock, O source of Life, Let Thy dear Word, 'mid doubt and strife, Be so within us burning That we be faithful unto death, In Thy pure love and holy faith From Thee true wisdom learning! Thy fire Inspire Quick'ning savor, That with favor Our behavior May confess Christ as our Savior. 7 O gentle Dew, from heav'n now fall With power upon the hearts of all, Thy tenderness instilling; That heart to heart more closely bound, Fruitful in kindly deeds be found, The law of love fulfilling! No ill Shall fill Hearts that love Thee And approve Thee; Where Thou livest Peace, good will, and joy thou givest, 8 Grant that our days, while life shall last, In humble holiness be passed; Our minds fill with thy leaven, That they may rise o'er things of earth, The hopes and joys that here have birth, And live in joys of heaven. Sustain, Restrain From offences Hearts and senses; Blessed Spirit! Bid us thus true life inherit. Topics: The Church Year Pentecost Languages: English
