Our God, to Whom We Turn
Author: Edward Grubb Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4929 Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. Our God, to whom we turn
When weary with illusion,
Whose stars serenely burn
Above this earth’s confusion,
Thine is the mighty plan,
The steadfast order sure
In which the world began,
Endures, and will endure.
2. Thou art Thyself the truth;
Though we who fain would find Thee,
Have tried, with thoughts uncouth,
In feeble words to bind Thee,
It is because Thou art
We’re driven to the quest;
Till truth from falsehood part,
Our souls can find no rest.
3. All beauty speaks of Thee:
The mountains and the rivers,
The line of lifted sea,
Where spreading moonlight quivers,
The deep-toned organ blast
That rolls through arches dim,
Hints of the music vast
Of Thine eternal hymn.
4. Wherever goodness lurks
We catch Thy tones appealing;
Where man for justice works
Thou art Thyself revealing;
The blood of man, for man
On friendship’s altar spilt,
Betrays the mystic plan
On which Thy house is built.
5. Thou hidden fount of love,
Of peace, and truth, and beauty,
Inspire us from above
With joy and strength for duty.
May Thy fresh light arise
Within each clouded heart,
And give us open eyes
To see Thou as Thou art. Languages: English Tune Title: STEADFAST

Rise from Your Graves, Ye Dead
Author: Johann F. Starck, 1680-1756 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5795 Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Rise from your graves, ye dead! Lyrics: 1. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Thus shall the call be sounded,
Which on the latter day
shall find us all astounded;
Which to the faithful flock
shall promise rare delight,
And fill the trembling hearts
of sinners with affright.
2. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Your sleep at last is over,
Ye blessèd of the Lord,
no more without shall hover.
The garments are prepared,
the crowns for you are stored,
Enter into the joy
and comfort of your Lord!
3. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Come from your earthly cover;
Ye wicked all the pangs of
hell shall now discover.
Ye once rejected Me,
I hold you nothing worth;
Wailing and gnashing teeth
shall be your lot henceforth.
4. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Lo, here are bone and tissue
Flesh, sinew, hands, eye, foot!
from earth and air they issue.
That wherewith you have served
the Lord is glorified,
That wherewith you have sinned,
consumed and cast aside.
5. Rise from your graves, ye dead!
Ye faithful now shall glory
In halos like the sun,
undimmed, untransitory.
Immortal bodies with
immortal souls shall blend,
Ye shall enjoy the rest
of saints that hath no end. Languages: English Tune Title: STEADFAST

when weary with illusion,
whose stars serenely burn
above this earth’s confusion,
thine is the mighty plan,
the steadfast order sure
in which the world began,
endures, and will endure.
2 Thou art thyself the truth;
though we who seek to find thee
have tried, with thoughts uncouth,
in feeble words to bind thee,
it is because thou art
we’re driven to the quest;
till truth from falsehood part,
our hearts can find no rest.
3 All beauty speaks of thee:
the mountains and the rivers,
the line of lifted sea,
where spreading moonlight quivers,
the hymns thy people raise,
the psalms and anthems strong,
hint at the glorious praise
of thy eternal song.
4 Where goodness comes to light
we glimpse thy plan unfolding;
where justice wins its fight
thou art the Kingdom molding;
the blood of friend as sign
of love for comrade spilt,
reflects the vast design
by which thy hose is built.
5 Thou hidden fount of love,
of peace, and truth, and beauty,
inspire us from above
with joy and strength for duty.
May thy fresh light arise
with each clouded heart,
and give us open eyes
To see thee as thou art.

Why do the heathen rage?
Author: B. H. Kennedy Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #217 (1913) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 Why do the heathen rage?
What are the nations dreaming?
In vain against the Lord
And His Anointed scheming,
Kings of the earth arise,
And leaguéd rulers say:
"Come, let us break their bands,
And cast their cords away."
2 He who is throned in heaven
Derides their preparation;
The Lord upon them pours
His scornful indignation:
Soon shall His voice of wrath
Their souls with terror thrill
"Yet I have set my King
On Zion's holy hill."--
3 Now will I cry aloud
And tell the Lord's great token:
"Thou art My Son," He saith:
To me the word was spoken:
"Yea, Thee have I this day
Begotten: ask of Me,
And Thine the heathen, Thine
Earth's utmost parts shall be:
4 Beneath Thine iron rod
Thy foemen shall be shattered,
As by the potter's hand
The broken shreds lie scattered."
Be wise, then, O ye kings,
Ye earthly judges, hear;
Serve ye the Lord with awe,
Rejoice with trembling fear.
5 Bow down and kiss the Son,
Lest, if His wrath awaken,
Ye fail and fade away,
For evermore forsaken.
Soon may His anger burn,
A lightly kindled flame;
Then blessed are all they
That trust His holy name. Topics: The Church Year Sunday after New Year; The Church Year Sunday after New Year; Afflcition Tune Title: [Why do the heathen rage?]

Forsake me not, my God
Author: S. Franck Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #521 (1913) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 Forsake me not, my God,
Thou God of my salvation!
Give me Thy light, to be
My sure illumination.
My soul to folly turns,
Seeking she knows not what:
O lead her to Thyself;
My God, forsake me not!
2 Forsake me not, my God!
Take not Thy Spirit from me,
And suffer not the might
Of sin to overcome me.
A father pitieth
The children be begot;
My Father, pity me!
My God, forsake me not!
3 Forsake me not, my God,
Thou God of life and power!
Enliven, strengthen me,
In every evil hour:
And when the sinful fire
Within my heart is hot,
Be not Thou far from me:
My God, forsake me not!
4 Forsake me not, my God!
Uphold me in my going,
That evermore I may
Please Thee in all well-doing;
And that Thy will, O Lord,
May never be forgot
In all my works and ways:
My God, forsake me not!
5 Forsake me not, my God!
I would be Thine for ever:
Confirm me mightily
In every right endeavor:
And when my hour is come,
Cleansed from all stain and spot
Of sin, receive my soul:
My God, forsake me not! Topics: Various Occasions Day of Common Prayer; Various Occassions Day of Common Prayer; Trials and Conflicts Tune Title: [Forsake me not, my God]

Our God, to Whom We Turn
O God, Our Faithful God
Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Presbyterian Hymnal #277 (1990) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Hymnal Title: The Presbyterian Hymnal Lyrics: 1 O God, our faithful God,
O fountain ever flowing,
Without whom nothing is,
All perfect gifts bestowing,
Grant us a faithful life,
And give us, Lord, within,
Commitment free from strife,
A soul unhurt by sin.
2 God, grant us strength to do
With ready heart and willing,
Whatever You command,
Our calling here fulfilling;
And do it when we ought,
With zeal and joyfulness;
And bless the work we’ve wrought,
For You must give success.
3 If dangers gather round,
Still keep us calm and fearless;
Help us to bear the cross
When life is bleek and cheerless,
To overcome our foes
With words and actions kind;
O God, Your will disclose,
Your counsel let us find.
