Nun Ruhen Alle Wälder
Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 103 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Nun ruhen alle Wälder,
Vieh, Menschen, Städt’ und Felder,
Es schläft die ganze Welt;
Ihr aber, meine Sinnen,
Auf, auf, ihr sollt beginnen,
Was eurem Schöpfer wohlgefällt!
2 Wo bist, du, Sonne, blieben?
Die Nacht hat dich vertrieben,
Die Nacht, des Tages Feind.
Fahr hin! Ein’ andre Sonne,
Mein Jesus, meine Wonne,
Gar hell in meinem Herzen scheint.
3 Der Tag ist nun vergangen,
Die güldnen Sternlein prangen
Am blauen Himmelssaal;
So, so werd’ ich auch stehen,
Wenn mich wird heissen gehen
Mein Gott aus diesem Jammertal.
4 Der Leib eilt nun zur Ruhe,
Legt ab das Kleid und Schuhe,
Das Bild der Sterblichkeit;
Die zieh’ ich aus, dagegen
Wird Christus mir anlegen
Den Rock der Ehr’ und Herrlichkeit.
5 Breit aus die Flügel beide,
O Jesu, meine Freude,
Und nimm dein Küchlein ein!
Will Satan mich verschlingen,
So lass die Englein singen:
Dies Kind soll unverletzet sein!
6 Auch euch, ihr mein Lieben,
Soll heute nicht betrüben
Kein Unfall nich Gefahr.
Gott lass’ euch ruhig schlafen,
Stell’ euch die güldnen Waffen
Ums Bett und seiner Helden Schar. Used With Tune: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN
Nun Ruhen Alle Wälder
Now rest beneath night's shadows
Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now rest beneath night's shadow
The woodland, field, and meadow,
The world in slumber lies;
But thou, my heart, awake thee,
To prayer and song betake thee,
Let praise to thy Creator rise.
2 To rest my body hasteth,
Aside its garments casteth--
Types of mortality;
These I put off, and ponder
How Christ shall give me yonder
A robe of glorious majesty.
3 Ye weary limbs, now rest you,
For toil hath sore oppressed you,
And quiet sleep ye crave;
A sleep shall once o'ertake you
From which no man can wake you,
In your last, narrow bed--the grave.
4 Lord Jesus, who dost love me,
O spread Thy wings above me,
And shield me from alarm!
Though Satan would devour me,
Let angel-guards sing o'er me:
This child of God shall meet no harm.
5 My loved ones, rest securely,
For God this night will surely
From perils guard your heads;
Sweet slumbers may He send you,
And bid His hosts attend you,
And through the night watch o'er your beds.

Upon the Cross Extended
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; John Kelly, 1833-1890 Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Upon the cross extended,
see, world, your Lord suspended;
your Savior yields his breath.
The Prince of life from heaven
himself has freely given
to shame and blows and bitter death.
2 Who is it, Lord, that bruised you?
Who has so sore abused you
and caused you all your woe?
We all must make confession
of sin and dire transgression
while you no ways of evil know.
3 I caused your grief and sighing
by evils multiplying
as countless as the sands.
I caused the woes unnumbered
with which your soul is cumbered,
your sorrows raised by wicked hands.
4 Your soul in griefs unbounded,
your head with thorns surrounded,
you died to ransom me.
The cross for me enduring,
the crown for me securing,
you healed my wounds and set me free.
5 Your cross I place before me,
its saving pow'r restore me,
sustain me in the test.
It will, when life is ending,
be guiding and attending
my way to your eternal rest. Topics: Jesus' Passion Scripture: Isaiah 53:4-9 Used With Tune: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN

See, world, your life suspended
O World, See Here Suspended
Author: Anna Hoppe; Paul Gerhardt, 1606-1676 Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O world, see here suspended,
His loving arms extended,
They Savior on the cross!
The Prince of life is willing,
All righteousness fulfilling,
To suffer anguish, scorn and loss.
2 O Thou, who hearts dost quicken,
Why art Thou sorrow-stricken,
Why all this nameless pain?
While we must make confession
Of sin and dire transgression,
No sin on Thee hath left a stain.
3 'Tis I whom sins encumber,
Whose misdeeds far outnumber
The sands upon the shore;
I caused Thy condemnation,
Thy deep humiliation,
And all the wounds that pain Thee sore.
4 The burden Thee molesting,
The weight upon Thee resting,
The heavy load is mine.
A curse on Thee is pressing,
That I may reap a blessing;
Thy pain to me is balm divine.
5 My bondsman ever willing,
My place with patience filling,
And sharing all my guilt,
A crown of thorns Thou wearest,
And my disgrace Thou bearest,
While saying, Father, as Thou wilt!
6 Death for a time must hold Thee,
The grave, too, must enfold Thee,
Lest I should be its prey;
Death, who for me had tarried,
Death now himself lies buried,
And I shall live with Thee for aye.

Zion, Awake And Brighten
Author: Martin Opitz; Emanuel Cronenwett Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Zion, awake and brighten! Lyrics: 1 Zion, awake and brighten!
Lo, day begins to lighten,
Thy Light draws nigh to thee;
The brightness of His glory,
The morn of prophets’ story,
Now shines around and over thee.
2 Though earth is yet beclouded,
And Gentile nations shrouded
In darkness dense and drear,
The Lord, thy life, hath blessed thee,
With loving grace caressed thee
And crowned thy brow with honors dear.
3 On this broad earth the nations,
Throughout all generations,
That see the light of day,
Shall learn thy brighter glory;
And men shall haste before thee,
To see thy Light and bless its ray.
4 Behold the surging masses!
Thy Light doth draw all classes,
The world turns unto thee,
Thy fame hath reached their hearing,
Their sons and daughters, nearing,
Haste at thy shrine to bend the knee.
5 Thy heart shall leap within thee
When thou shalt see th’assembly,
Th’abundance of the sea;
Thine eyes shall feast on courses
Of myriad Gentile forces,
That come converted unto thee.
6 There are glad delegations
From Ephah and far nations,
And clouds from Midian;
With gold shall Saba cheer thee,
And incense; all that near thee
Shall sing thy praise, O chosen One!
