A broken heart, my God, my King!

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: ELHW1908 #240 (1908) Lyrics: 1 A broken heart, my God, my King! Is all the sacrifice I bring: The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice. 2 My soul lies humbled in the dust, And owns Thy dreadful sentence just; Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemned to die. 3 Then will I teach the world Thy ways; Sinner shall learn Thy sov'reign grace; I'll lead them to my Savior's blood, And they shall praise a pard'ning God. 4 O may Thy love inspire my tongue; Salvation shall be all my song, And all my power shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness.

A few more years shall roll

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: ELHW1908 #514 (1908) Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest, Asleep within the tomb: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that great day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 2 A few more storms shall beat On this wild, rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more. A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more: 3 'Tis but a little while And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we with Him may reign. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away!

A great and mighty wonder

Author: St. Anatolius; John Mason Neale, D. D. Hymnal: ELHW1908 #35a (1908) Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder Our Christmas festal brings: On earth, a lowly Infant, Behold the King of kings. 2 The Word is made incarnate, Descending from on high; And Cherubim to shepherds Sing anthems from the sky. 3 And we with them triumphant, Repeat the hymn again: "To God on high be glory, And peace on earth to men!" 4 While thus they sing your Monarch, Those bright angelic bands, Rejoice, ye vales and mountains! Ye oceans, clap your hands! 5 Since all He comes to ransom, By all be He adored, The Infant born in Bethlehem, The Savior and the Lord! 6 And idol-forms shall perish, And error shall decay, And Christ shall wield His scepter, Our Lord and God for aye.

A holy state is wedded life

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D.

A Lamb bears all the guilt away

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelley Hymnal: ELHW1908 #67 (1908) Lyrics: 1 A Lamb bears all its guilt away The world thus to deliver, All sins of sinners patiently It bears and murmurs never. It goes, and weak and sick is made, An off'ring on the altar laid, All pleasure it forsaketh, Submits to shame, and scorn, and wrath, To anguish, wounds, stripes, cross, and death, This cup with gladness taketh. 2 This spotless Lamb, our soul’s great Friend, And everlasting Savior, God chooseth sin’s dread reign to end And bring us to His favor. Go forth, my Son! redeem to Thee The children who’re exposed by me To punishment and anger. The punishment is great, and dread The wrath, but Thou Thy blood shalt shed, And free them thus this danger. 3 Shrine of my heart! now opened be, To thee shall now be given Fair treasures that far greater be Than earth, and sea, and heaven. Away, gold of Arabia, Myrrh, calamus, and cassia! Far better I discover. My priceless treasure is, O Thou My Jesus! what so freely now From Thy wounds floweth over! 4 And when at last heav’n’s gate I see, And taste the kingdom’s pleasure, This blood shall then my purple be, I’ll clothe me in this treasure; It shall be then my glorious crown, In which I’ll stand before the throne Of God, with none to blame me; And as a bride in fair array, I’ll stand beside my Lord that day, Who woo’d, and then will claim me.

A little child, the Savior came

Author: William Robertson Hymnal: ELHW1908 #347 (1908) Lyrics: 1 A little child, the Savior came, The mighty God was still His Name; And angels worshipped as He lay, The seeming infant of a day. 2 He who a little child began Saved children, too, by sin defiled, And still proclaims the message free: Let little children come to Me. 3 We bring, at Thy beloved behest, Thy heirs in Holy Baptism blest, Through Christian nurture, faith, and prayer, That they may all Thy blessings share. 4 O give Thine angels charge, good Lord! To keep them Thy way and Word; Be throughout life Thy blessings given, And in the end take them to heaven. Topics: The Catechism The Christian Household Languages: English Tune Title: ALSTONE

A pilgrim and a stranger

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Jane Borthwick Hymnal: ELHW1908 #515 (1908) Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger, I journeyed here below; Far distant is my country, The house to which I go. Here I must toil and travail, Oft weary and oppressed, But there my God shall lead me To everlasting rest. 2 There still my thoughts are dwelling, 'Tis there I long to be; Come, Lord, and call Thy servant To blessedness with Thee! Come, bid my toils be ended, Let all my wanderings cease; Call from the wayside lodging To the sweet home of peace! 3 There I shall dwell for ever, No more a stranger guest, With all Thy blood-bought children, In everlasting rest: The pilgrim toils forgotten, The pilgrim conflicts o'er, All earthly griefs behind us, Eternal joys before!
