Let me, since Thou hast sought me, Eternal life obtain. 3 And Thou, O Holy Spirit, My Comforter and Guide, Grant that in Jesus' merit I always may confide, Him to the end confessing Whom I have known by faith.

Dach, 1605-59 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 Through Jesus' blood and merit I am at peace with God; What, then, can daunt my spirit, However dark my road? My courage shall not fail me, For God is on my side; Though hell itself assail me, Its rage I may deride. 2 There's nothing that can sever Me from the love of God, No want, no pain, whatever, No famine, peril, flood. Though thousand foes surround me, For slaughter mark Thy sheep, They never shall confound me, The vict'ry I shall reap. 3 Yea, neither life's temptation Nor death's so trying hour, Nor angels of high station, Nor any other pow'r, Nor things that now are present, Nor things that are to come, Nor height, however pleasant, Nor depths of deepest gloom. 4 Nor any creature ever Shall from the love of God This wretched sinner sever, For in my Savior's blood This love its fountain taketh; He hears my faithful prayer And nevermore forsaketh His own dear child and heir.

Author: Henry W. Baker Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 15 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Redeemed, restored, forgiven, Thro' Jesus’ precious blood, Heirs of His home in heaven, Oh, praise our pard'ning God! Praise Him in tuneful measures Who gave His Son to die; Praise Him whose sev'nfold treasures Enrich and sanctify. 2 Once on the dreary mountain We wandered far and wide, Far from the cleansing fountain, Far from the pierced side; But Jesus sought and found us And washed our guilt away; With cords of love He bound us To be His own for aye. 3 Dear Master, Thine the glory Of each recovered soul. Ah! who can tell the story Of love that made us whole? Not ours, not ours the merit; Be Thine alone the praise, And ours a thankful spirit To serve Thee all our days. 4 Now keep us, Holy Savior, In Thy true love and fear And grant us of Thy favor The grace to persevere Till, in Thy new creation, Earth’s time-long travail o’er, We find our full salvation, And praise Thee evermore. Amen. Topics: Adoration Worship and Praise Scripture: Luke 15:24 Used With Tune: ICH DANK' DIR, LIEBER HERRE

O One with God the Father

Author: W. W. How Appears in 64 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O One with God the Father, In majesty and might, The brightness of His glory, Eternal Light of light, O'er this our home of darkness Thy rays are streaming now; The shadows flee before Thee; The world's true light art Thou. 2 Yet, Lord, we see but darkly: O heavenly Light, arise, Dispel these mists that shroud us, And hide Thee from our eyes. We long to track the footprints That Thou Thyself hast trod: We long to see the pathway That leads to Thee, our God. 3 O Jesus, shine around us With radiance of Thy grace; O Jesus, turn upon us The brightness of Thy face. We need no star to guide us, As on our way we press, If Thou Thy light vouchsafest, O Sun of righteousness.

Praise God with singing! Rejoice, thou Christian flock! Fear not though foes are bringing Their hosts against thy rock; For though they here assail thee And seek thy very life, Let not thy courage fail thee; Thy God shall turn the strife. 2 O be not thou dismayed, Believing little band. God, in His might arrayed, To help thee is at hand. Upon His palm engraven Thy name is ever found, He knows, Who dwells in heaven, The ills that thee surround. 3 His purpose stands unshaken— What He hath said He’ll do; And, when by all forsaken, His Church He will renew. With pity He beholds her E’en in her time of woe, Still by His Word upholds her And makes her thrive and grow. 4 To Him belong our praises, Who still abides our Lord, Bestowing gifts and graces According to His Word. Nor will He e’er forsake us, But will our Guardian be And ever stable make us In love and unity. Topics: The Church's Life and Work Protection and Defense Used With Tune: LOB GOTT

Author: Jane Borthwick; Laurentius Laurenti Meter: 7.6 Appears in 334 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, all ye believers, And let your lights appear! The evening is advancing, And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He draweth nigh, Up! pray and watch, and wrestle-- At midnight comes the cry! 2 The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near; Go meet Him as He cometh, With hallelujahs clear. The marriage feast is waiting, The gates wide-open stand; Up, up, ye heirs of glory; The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Your cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign for ever, When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold, In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold! 4 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth’s redemption, That brings us unto Thee! Topics: Advent; Advent, First Sunday Used With Tune: ICH DANK' DIE LIEBER HERRE

For others, too, we pray; to you we would commend them, our Church, our youth, our land; direct them and defend them when dangers are at hand. 3 O grant us peace and gladness, give us our daily bread, shield us from grief and sadness, on us your blessings shed. Grant that our whole behaviour in truth and righteousness may praise you, Lord, our Saviour, whose holy name we bless. 4 You are our vine: O nourish your branches, so that we may grow in you and flourish and ever fruitful be; your Spirit pour within us, and let the gifts of grace to those good actions win us that best may show your praise.
