O Mighty God Of Earth And Heaven

Author: Paul E. Kretzmann Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O mighty God of earth and heaven, Whose praises are thro' endless ages sung, The saints, to whom Thy grace is given, Their voices raise the heav'nly choir among, In music far surpassing human thought, To praise salvation which Thy Son has wrought. 2 But we, who in this vale of sorrow Our way as pilgrims far from home pursue, Look forward to a bright tomorrow, When we shall see both earth and heaven new, There we shall meet our Savior face to face And ever magnify His boundless grace. 3 This lends us joy in fullest measure, While we as strangers here below must roam; Our hearts are all aglow with pleasure As we look forward to that blissful home; But still our spirit ever longs and sighs To dwell with Jesus under fairer skies. 4 What here is quite beyond our telling, And we behold but darkly through a glass, The fondest hopes within us dwelling Will there in fullest beauty come to pass. O Savior, come and take us all to Thee, That we our precious hopes fulfilled may see. Topics: The Means of Grace God Used With Tune: CRASSELIUS

Awake, Thou Spirit Bold And Daring

Author: H. Brueckner; C. H. von Bogatzky Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Awake, Thou Spirit bold and daring, Bear witness as in days of long ago. The watchmen on the walls of Zion Embolden Thou to move against the foe. May they go forth to lands beyond the sea And bring the Gentile nations, Lord, to Thee. 2 O that Thy fire might soon be kindled, O that its flames to ev'ry land might leap! O Lord, send may faithful servants Thy harvest fields thro'out the world to reap. A harvest great presents itself to view, But they who reap the harvest are so few! 3 The prayer Thy Son Himself has taught us, We offer it to Thee at His command; Behold how ev'rywhere Thy children As suppliants, O Lord, before Thee stand, With yearning hearts to make this ardent plea; So hear us, Lord, and say, Thus shall it be! 4 Send hosts of men to preach the Gospel, In spirit strong, in perils unafraid; Make haste to help us in our weakness, And Satan's dark domain with might invade. The kingdoms of the earth for Thee reclaim, That ev'ry tongue may bless Thy holy name. Topics: The Means of Grace Missions Used With Tune: CRASSELIUS

Wake, Spirit, who in times now olden

Author: Carl Heinrich von Bogatzky; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wake, Spirit, who in times now olden Didst fire the watchmen of the Church's youth, And them 'gainst ev'ry foe embolden, To witness day and night th'eternal truth, Whose voices through the world are ringing still, And bringing hosts to know and do Thy will: 2 Soon may that fire from heaven be lent us, That swift from land to land its flame may leap! Soon, Lord, that priceless boon be sent us Of faithful servants, fit for Thee to reap The harvest of the soul,--look down and view How great the harvest, but the laborers few. 3 Lord, to our earnest prayer now hearken, The prayer we offer at Thy Son's command; For, lo! while storms around us darken, Thy children's hearts are stirr'd in every land, To cry for help, with fervent soul, to Thee; O hear us, Lord, and speak: "Thus let it be!" 4 O speedily that help be granted! Send forth evangelists, in spirit strong, Armed with Thy Word, a host undaunted, Bold to attack the rule of ancient wrong, And let them all the earth for Thee reclaim, To be Thy kingdom and to know Thy name! 5 Grant that for which Thy people calleth! Send down Thy promised Spirit, Lord, in might, Before whom every barrier falleth, And let it thus at evening-time be light; O! rend the heavens, and make Thy presence felt, The chains that bind us at Thy touch would melt. 6 Let Zion's paths lie waste no longer, Remove the hindrances that there have lain, And let Thy Word go forth to conquer; Destroy false doctrine, root out notions vain, Set free from hirelings, let the Church and school Bloom as a garden 'neath Thy prospering rule Topics: The Catechism The Church; Eighth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: CRASSELIUS (Dir, dir, Jehovah, will ich singen)

To Thee, O Lord, will I sing praises

Author: Bartholomaüs Crasselius; Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To Thee, O Lord, will I sing praises, For where is found a glorious God like Thee? To Thee my heart its anthem raises, O give Thy quick'ning Spirit's aid to me, That I may sing in Jesus' name alone, In strains which find acceptance at Thy throne. 2 To Thy dear Son, O Father, lead me, That He again to Thee may lead my soul; Thy Spirit in green pastures feed me, And all my powers of heart and mind control, That I may sing in praise of Thee, and never cease. 3 Grant me, O Lord, this priceless treasure, Then shall my humble worship grateful be; Then beautiful will be the measure With which in heart and truth I worship Thee; Then near to Thee Thy Spirit shall me bring, And I a worthy psalm of praise shall sing. 4 For He can intercede with groanings, Which my poor tongue is powerless to express; He comes to soothe my cheerless moanings, And with the prayer of faith my soul to bless: Makes me joint-heir with Christ of wealth on high, And bids me ever, Abba, Father! cry. 5 Thine eye with tenderness beholds me, When by the Spirit's power my cry ascends; Thine arm with gentleness enfolds me, And all Thy love to meet and bless me bends, E'er ready all my wishes to fulfill, Which upward rise according to Thy will. 6 And what to ask Thy Spirit teaches, Must ever with Thy holy will accord; My soul in Jesus' name beseeches, And therefore wilt Thou every gift afford; I am in Him Thine own dear child and heir, And grace for grace receive to crown my prayer. 7 How richly this assurance blesses! With comfort, peace, and joy, it fills my heart; I know that Thou whom faith addresses, Each needful gift wilt graciously impart, And more than I can ask or understand Thou shower'st me more than I can ask or understand 8 I ask in Jesus' name, believing, Who ever intercede in heaven for me; Through Him each perfect gift receiving, In whom is Yea whate'er I ask of Thee: How blest am I! my soul forever bless The name of Him who grants such happiness!

Lift Up The Banner Of Salvation

Author: H. Brueckner; K. V. Tamminen Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lift up the banner of salvation, That white and blood-dyed banner of the cross. Proclaim it wide to ev'ry nation: There is redemption from our dreaded loss; The Lamb of God upon the cross was slain That man the promised crown of life might gain. 2 Raise high that banner for each nation, Let ev'ry eye behold the Crucified, Whom God before the world's foundation Had as a ransom for us set aside. Do not this truth from anyone withhold; To all the message of the cross be told. 3 Lift up the banner, tell the story: With Jesus' blood thou, too, wast dearly bought; Behold, the mighty Lord of glory Complete salvation for us all hath wrought. Poor, weeping soul, be happy and rejoice And praise the Lamb of God with gladsome voice. 4 Then let no other news be spoken, Let ev'ryone the Master's Word repeat. Why should a man, with promise broken, Proclaim the wisdom of his own conceit? For such a one will nevermore be blest, Since God's displeasure must upon him rest. 5 Regard us from Thy habitation, For we are erring, blind and poor, O Lord. That wisdom which is our salvation Remains alone with Thine unerring Word, And even this we cannot comprehend If Thou wilt not Thy Spirit's brightness lend.
